The Russian leader staged large-scale staff exercises with over 3,000 troops yesterday (Wednesday, March 28) in an attempt to show off the country’s massive nuclear capability.
A new video revealed the Yars intercontinental ballistic missile system out on drill in an undisclosed area in Siberia amid Putin’s widely ill-conceived war in Ukraine.
“In total, more than 3,000 military personnel and about 300 pieces of equipment are involved in the exercises,” he said.
“Strategic missile men will carry out a set of measures to camouflage and counter modern aerial reconnaissance means in cooperation with formations and units of the Central Military District and the Aerospace Forces.”

The Russian tyrant has made the Yars missile system – which replaced the Topol system – as part of Russia’s “invincible weapons” system.
The missiles are said to have a range of over 7,500 miles and are capable of striking both Europe and the US.
They also have other terrifying characteristics including multiple independent nuclear warheads and can be mounted on truck carriers or deployed in silos.

The war games follow Putin’s threat against the West of a nuclear strike if there are any attempts made to defeat and “dismember” Russia and launch an attack.
