Two new "Avangards" can take up combat duty at the end of December
TASS was informed about this on Thursday by a source in the military-industrial complex.
"The next two silo launchers (silos) with ICBMs equipped with Avangards can take up combat duty in one of the regiments of the Yasnensky missile formation approximately on December 25," he said on the Strategic Missile Forces Day celebrated today.

Russia is developing plans to transfer the Avangard hypersonic complex from Stiletto missiles to advanced missile systems, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of the Russian Defense Ministry on Monday.
“We have weapons that are not available in the world. This, first of all, of course, means hypersonic weapons. Now we are developing plans, how to transfer from the Stilet, on which the Avangard is located, to the advanced missile systems under development - a combat maneuvering unit, ”the head of state said.

Interesting, instead of only the warhead being maneuverable, this seems to suggest that future ICBM carriers will also maneuver in flight. One discussed future growth path for Avantegard would be not only could the 'bus' maneuver but the MIRV'd submunition could develop to maneuver too, utilizing Zircon's technology.

I had already mentioned before that Avangard would end up on the new heavy launcher.

My understanding is that has always been the plan and the new launcher will deploy multiple Avangard instead of just the one on the SS-19 rocket.

Yes, but I recall having a debate, I think ISOS a while back who said "nope, only for this missile" and I said no it isn't.
Maybe it wasn't him. Have to go back in the thread and I'm too lazy for that.

The little information we have on the size of the glider supports the plausibility of the plan for it to be mounted on other ICBM models.
When Sarmat is deployed it can easily carry several such gliders. I think they could stack ten of them. Sort of like a lotus flower
with the petals being the non-conic gliders.

I would be surprised with 10 as the SS19 can carry 6 MIRV's but apparently only has 1 Avangard.

The 6 warheads must be the large yield variety. It was supposed to be able to carry at least ten 500 kiloton warheads.
Also the Sarmat throw weight is larger than the Vojevoda.

Yars and Bulava should receive Avangard, too.

The SS18 carries 10 MIRV's while the SS19 can only carry 6. The new Sarmat is to carry 10.

The Sarmat has more throw weight than the Vojevoda (SS-18). Why did you dredge up the SS-19 when
the discussion was about Sarmat?

Because that is the Rocket being used for those Avangard's being presently deployed in Orenberg and will continue to be for quite some time.

Correct, Avangard was always default option
Stiletto was used as placeholder because Avangard completed development before Sarmat did so they didn't want to wait and because they had 30 brand spanking new Stilettos in storage good to go

Russia’s 1st regiment of Avangard hypersonic missiles to assume full strength in 2021
Russia has conducted five successful launches of the intercontinental ballistic missiles with these hypersonic boost-glide vehicles
MOSCOW, December 23. /TASS/. The first regiment of Avangard hypersonic missile systems that went on combat alert in late 2019 in the Orenburg Region will assume its full strength in late 2021, a source in the domestic defense industry told TASS on Wednesday.
"The first regiment of the Yasny division of the Strategic Missile Force will have six silo-based launchers by the end of next year. Therefore, it will be brought to its assigned strength," the source said.

Man I like to use some sources as references when either debating or writing articles, but a journo that says 7.5km/s instead of 9.604 km/s pretty much ruins it for me. Still thank you for source.

The second regiment of ICBMs with the Avangard unit will take up combat duty in the Strategic Missile Forces by 2023.
The second regiment of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) with the Avangard hypersonic glider unit will take up combat duty in the Strategic Missile Forces (Strategic Missile Forces) by 2023. This was announced by the commander of the 13th missile Division, Major General Andrey Cherevko, during the single day of acceptance of military products.
"In the period up to 2023, another missile regiment in the 13th Missile Division with the Avangard strategic missile system is planned to be put on combat duty" – he reported to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
The first regiment of strategic missile systems with the Avangard hypersonic planning unit will take up combat duty until the end of the year, Cherevko said.
"The 13th Missile Division continues to re-equip with new strategic missile systems. In accordance with this task, the first missile regiment with the Avangard missile system is scheduled to be put on combat duty in 2021" – he reported to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
"Work is underway to prepare two silo launchers with missiles. Rearmament is carried out according to the approved schedule. Loading missiles into silo launchers and bringing them ready for combat use is planned for the fourth quarter of 2021" – he said.
The first regiment, armed with Avangard, entered combat duty in the Orenburg Missile Division in part-time in December 2019.

Six for these ones... the mobile ICBM's have 9 per regiment and the units at Svyety have 10 silos per. The first regiment will be complete (6) this year when the last two units are installed (3 years at 2 per). Production will increase slowly going forward as it is planned for the second regiment to be complete in 2 years.
