The Russian Defence Ministry signed contracts on the delivery of Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles and S-500 air defence systems for Russian troops.

The contract on the production and delivery of Sarmat missiles was signed by Deputy Defence Minister Alexei Krivoruchko and CEO of the Makeyev State Rocket Center Vladimir Degtyar at the Army 2022 international military-technical forum, Xinhua news agency reported, citing the TASS news agency.
