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.
