In the Kozelsky missile compound (Kaluga Region), an intercontinental ballistic missile "Yars" was loaded into a mine launcher (SHPU).
The rocket was installed in the silo with the help of a special transport and loading unit. The most complex technological operations took place within a few hours.
The Kozelsky missile compound in the Kaluga Region is the first to be re-equipped with a stationary-based Yars missile system.
The rearmament of the Strategic Missile Forces consists not only in equipping troops with new missile systems, but also in creating a new social infrastructure that provides better conditions for the training of on-duty forces, combat duty and rest by personnel.
The implementation of measures planned for 2021 to rearm the Strategic Missile Forces group will increase the share of modern strategic missile systems to and increase the group's capabilities to perform nuclear deterrence tasks.
The Yars missile system exists in both stationary mine and mobile ground-based variants.
On July 13, it was reported that in the Altai Territory, during the round-the-clock large-scale exercises of the Strategic Missile Forces, mobile ground-based Yars missile systems performed intensive maneuver actions on combat patrol routes. After a 100-kilometer march, the rocket scientists brought the complexes to field positions and began working out issues on the protection and defense of autonomous launchers.
