More than 60 Topol, Topol-M and Yars launch systems manoeuvre on combat patrol routes

In accordance with the Strategic Missile Forces Training Plan, more than 60 Topol, Topol-M and Yars are manoeuvring on the combat patrol routes from Tver to Irkutsk Regions.

In the course of manoeuvres, new ways of preparing combat vehicles for the march are being practised to reduce the time required to start march by 20-30% when pulling out from attack.

Special forces units are imitating mock sabotage groups. They have been dropped in advance in the assigned areas. The mock insurgents have surveyed the areas, installed explosive devices, ambushes and escape routes.
