🚨 RUSSIA LAUNCHES ICBM IN 6,700+ KM COMBAT-TRAINING TEST
Russia conducted a combat-training launch of a mobile, solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia on August 28. 🚀🇷🇺
The missile traveled more than 6,700 km across Russia before reaching the Kura test range in Kamchatka. Russia’s Defense Ministry said the launch was carried out to test the missile system’s technical and flight performance.
The missile was equipped with training warheads rather than nuclear warheads, and Russian officials said they successfully reached the designated target area.
The exercise also included deploying a mobile missile-launcher battery to a remote location, preparing the system for launch and conducting the firing operation.
⚠️ Russia did not officially identify the missile used in this particular launch. Some reports have linked the launch setup to the RS-24 Yars, a mobile nuclear-capable ICBM. However, the August launch should not be described as a confirmed Yars test unless Russian authorities officially identify it.
The launch comes amid heightened military tensions and continued strategic weapons activity involving Russia and other major powers.
