	RVSN - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The special-purpose brigade of the RVGK [Supreme High Command Reserve] was formed in 1946, and on 18 October 1947 the brigade conducted the first launch of the A-4 ballistic missile from the Kapustin Yar Range.
		While 99 % of RVSN officers have a degree in engineering, and over 25 % of the personnel are contract sergeants and soldiers.
		The control of the missile troops is effected directly by the Supreme Commander in Chief through the central command headquarters of the General Staff and the main headquarters of the RVSN, using a multi-level extended network of command posts operating in alert-duty mode.

	Russia's strategic forces stumble - Jane's Defence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The RVSN remains the main element of the Russian strategic forces, being responsible for about 90% of the strategic missions even though it possesses only about 60% of the missiles and warheads.
		Since spares on these guidance units are dwindling, the RVSN has to face the choice of removing a significant portion of the missile force from ready alert, or allowing the force to become non-functional due to worn out guidance platforms.
		Power cut-offs to RVSN bases and command centres, disruption of the cabling to RVSN sites by thieves pilfering the copper wiring and other difficulties led the worried minister of defence to state in 1997 that control over the Russian strategic nuclear forces was on the verge of collapse.

	The Russians and Their Nukes
		Asked about the RVSN, former Russian national security advisor Alexander I. Lebed described the RVSN as being "rusty but still effective." Indeed, all evidence is that Russia is still capable of waging a general nuclear war.
		The RVSN also bears a heavy burden of dependence on Ukraine for critical spare parts for their inventories of SS-18s, SS-19s, and SS-24s.
		According to a November 1996 report of the RVSN Military Council, 76 percent of the missile divisions were assessed to be "good" and the remainder were judged "satisfactory." The report assessed missile division performance during numerous RVSN exercises and operational missile training launches held in 1996.

	Russia to Lose Nuclear Status
		According to one of the main articles of this decree, Strategic Rocket Forces (RVSN) cease to exist as one of the four main services of the Armed Forces.
		RVSN missile systems reliability level, combat readiness, and controllability in any conditions have always been better than those of sea- and air-based SNF.
		However, simple calculations show that, taking into account costs of the suggested measures (sharp reductions of RVSN without extension of the service life of the existing RVSN missile systems), improvement of fighting efficiency of conventional forces will be negligible (about 3-4%).
