In the Sverdlovsk region, calculations of launchers of the mobile nuclear missile complex "Yars" of the Teikov Division of the Strategic Missile Forces went to the combat patrol routes.
As reported to the correspondent of "RG" in the Ministry of Defense, during the exercises, strategic rocket scientists, among other things, are practicing the covert withdrawal of missile systems to field positions. Everything is happening as it would be done during the war.
For example, Typhoon-M combat anti-sabotage vehicles with unmanned aerial vehicles are used to detect, block and destroy conditional saboteurs. The sabotage groups themselves, according to the plan of the exercises, will operate on the distant approaches to the field positions of the Yarsov missile regiment and will try to mine road sections on combat patrol routes. Strategic "Yars" were specially made not only in the mine, but also in the mobile version, so that in case of anything the enemy would break his head over their search. In order to disrupt enemy attacks and strike themselves, the Strategic Missile Forces constantly organize combat duty on patrol routes.
The importance of this type of study can be judged by this example. Only one Teikovo missile division covers an area comparable in size to the total area of several European states with its complexes during patrolling. But the command of the Strategic Missile Forces brings several similar formations to the column paths.
On ordinary highways, heavy multi-axis mazes with nuclear missiles, of course, are not to be found. Their routes are laid away from inhabited places, usually in wooded areas. This not only ensures the secrecy of the movement of "strategists", but also allows them to practice various introductory exercises on the road. Although the means of camouflage make the equipment practically invisible from the air, NATO spy satellites are still trying to see our strategic "Yars" from orbit. If the enemy manages to do this in wartime, the next step will be a strike on the column or positions of the rocket men.
When it is not possible to get them with firepower, military special forces or saboteurs are sent to the raid. They will do everything possible to prevent the launch of nuclear missiles and destroy the RVSN complexes even at the stage of preparation for firing. Therefore, special attention is paid to the protection of launchers on the march and in field camps. Accordingly, the protection of columns and positions is built, various options for repelling attacks are modeled.
