All of Russia’s 2005 missile tests were completed successfully, according to a Strategic Missile Force press release quoted by the Russian News & Information Agency. The statement also noted that the Russian missile service had reorganized, forming two missile divisions and more than 20 units and in so doing cut a number of officers. Although it went on to say, “We managed to keep up to 70 percent of officers whose posts had to be cut.”
