Russia's new rail-mobile missile system will be called "Barguzin." The new system will expand the line of existing missile systems of Russia and strengthen the defensive capability of our country. Missiles for  the Barguzin complex will be built on the basis of the Yars ICBM. 

First rail-mobile missile systems
