Details: He claimed that the share of modern weapons in Russia’s nuclear triad is 95%, asserting this is the highest figure in the world.

Quote: "The share of modern weapons and equipment in the strategic nuclear forces is now 95%. This is a strong indicator, indeed the highest among all nuclear powers worldwide."

More details: Putin instructed officials to prioritise the nuclear triad as a cornerstone of Russia’s sovereignty in the new state armaments programme for 2027–2036.

Quote: "Our task today is to develop a new long-term programme for the entire range of systems and weapons, including, of course, advanced ones, leveraging the experience of the special military operation [as the Russians call the war against Ukraine – ed.] and various regional conflicts, and it is vital to consider global trends in the development of military technologies."
