Moscow--President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that Russia will increase the size of its nuclear arsenal in 2015 by more than 40 intercontinental missiles.

"This year the size of our nuclear forces will increase by over 40 new intercontinental ballistic missiles that will be able to overcome any, even the most technologically advanced, missile defence systems," Putin said at the opening of an exhibition of military hardware outside Moscow.
