VLASIKHA (MOSCOW REGION), November 14 (RIA Novosti) - New warheads for the strategic missiles currently being tested will be installed on silo-based and mobile Topol-M missiles, the commander of Russia's strategic missile forces said Monday.

Colonel General Nikolai Solovtsov did not elaborate on the number of warheads slated to be installed, nor did he specify the deadline for installation.

Solovtsov said Russia and the United States would cut down their strategic nuclear stocks to 1,700-2,200 warheads under the Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty by January 1, 2012.
