The exercises include a comprehensive control check of the Strategic Missile Forces of the Omsk Missile Formation along with a command and personnel training with the Novosibirsk Missile Formation equipped with Yars systems.

The Strategic Missile Men will implement a set of measures to camouflage and counter modern air reconnaissance means in cooperation with the formations and units of the Central Military Region and the Air Force. Putin has sought to make the Yaris missile system part of Russia’s ‘invincibility’ and the mainstay of the ground-based component of its nuclear arsenal.

The exercises include both the Novosibirsk and Omsk missile forces, which are equipped with the intercontinental ballistic strategic Yaris system. “The Strategic Missile Forces Command Committee will assess cohesion between personnel while carrying out their tasks,” the ministry said. RS-24 Yars – modification of the Topol-M missile – is a Russian strategic missile system with a solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile. “The missile regiment, under the command of the commander of the Strategic Missile Forces, has begun to bring out the Yaris missile system for combat patrol routes and field positions,” said Yevgeny Kilgaev, commander of the missile regiment.
