The Tagil rocket compound is equipped with a mobile ground-based missile system "Yars".

Yars is a mobile and mine-based strategic missile system that is capable of hitting targets at a range of up to 11 thousand km. It is equipped with a split head with maneuvering blocks of individual guidance.

The commander of the Strategic Missile Forces, Sergei Karakaev, deciphered the name of the Yars intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which also covers its combat mission.
