MOSCOW, December 9. /TASS/. The Russian defense Ministry released a video of ballistic and cruise missile launches during a strategic nuclear forces training session led by the Supreme commander, Russian President Vladimir Putin, on Wednesday.

The footage shows the launches of strategic cruise missiles made by Tu-160 and Tu-95MS aircraft that took off from the Engels and Ukrainka airfields. According to the published video, the aircraft used the latest air-launched cruise missiles X-101 and X-555 (converted to a non-nuclear version of the strategic missiles X-55), which were carried in the fuselage compartments.

The x-555 is a subsonic strategic air-launched cruise missile, a modification of the X-55, equipped with a conventional warhead. It can be equipped with different types of combat units. X-555 missiles were used in the military operation of the VKS in Syria from Tu-160 and Tu-95MS aircraft.

The military Department also showed the launch of a ballistic missile by the nuclear-powered missile cruiser Karelia from a submerged position. The main armament of the project 667BDRM Delfin nuclear-powered strategic missile cruiser is the Sineva Intercontinental ballistic missile. Prior to this, according to open data, the launch of the Sineva ballistic missile from the K-18 Karelia submarine from an underwater position was made on October 17, 2019.

A video of the launch of an Intercontinental ballistic missile from the Plesetsk cosmodrome was also released.
