Assessment

Identification

This record matches the 54th Guards Missile Division at Teykovo/Krasnyye Sosenki, Ivanovo Oblast, within the 27th Guards Missile Army. The supplied placemark values match the 235th, 285th, 321st, and 773rd Teykovo regimental coordinates in the Bulletin’s 2022 force table when read as longitude/latitude, which distinguishes this site from the separate 60th Missile Division at Tatishchevo. ([thebulletin.org](https://thebulletin.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/nuclearnotebook-March2022-russia-table2.pdf))

Force posture

Teykovo is a road-mobile ICBM formation, not a silo complex. TASS reported the Teikovo division was the first Strategic Missile Forces unit fully armed with new land-based mobile Topol-M and Yars systems, and an updated external assessment in January 2026 still counted the division as operating a mixed force of 18 Topol-M and 18 Yars ICBMs, indicating the final Topol-M replacement cycle is not yet publicly complete.

Regimental footprint

A widely used 2022 open-source force table listed four active regiments under the division: 235th GMR, 285th GMR, 321st MR, and 773rd MR. It assessed 235th and 321st with nine SS-27 Mod 1/Topol-M TELs each and 285th and 773rd with nine SS-27 Mod 2/Yars TELs each; the regiment coordinates in that table closely mirror the supplied placemarks.

Modernization status

Strategic Rocket Forces commander Sergei Karakayev said in December 2024 that 2025 priority plans included rearming the Ivanovo-based mobile Topol-M division with Yars. The sources reviewed do not publicly confirm completion of that work by March 12, 2026; the best located 2026 external estimate still shows Teykovo with both Topol-M and Yars.

Mobility and logistics

Recent official reporting continues to show field-mobile activity from this formation. In May 2022 the Russian MoD said Teikovsky Yars parade crews road-marched more than 400 km from Alabino back to permanent base, and TASS later reported Teikovsky Yars units changing field positions on patrol routes in Ivanovo Oblast, consistent with dispersed road mobility and recurring off-garrison activity.
