Military officials in Moscow announced Thursday that Russian strategic nuclear forces completed training exercises in Siberia featuring Yars intercontinental ballistic missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads.
According to Russia’s Defense Ministry, military personnel practiced various tactical maneuvers, including concealing and disguising the movement of land-based missile systems during field operations.
The training also included exercises simulating responses to enemy attacks and defending against aerial assault weapons. Defense officials noted that no actual missile launches occurred during these drills.
These military exercises are part of Russia’s routine testing of its strategic nuclear capabilities, designed to evaluate combat readiness while sending messages to Western nations amid ongoing tensions with NATO allies regarding the conflict in Ukraine.
