Vladimir Putin’s troops are staging war games with his ‘invincible’ Yars intercontinental ballistic missile system in three regions of Russia. A video shows the Yars missile system – which replaced the Topol – on drills amid his war against Ukraine and high tension with the West. ‘In total, more than 3,000 military personnel and about 300 pieces of equipment are involved in the exercises,’ Russia’s defense ministry said on Wednesday. The drills involve the Strategic Missile Forces comprehensive control checking of the Omsk missile formation together with a command and staff exercise with the Novosibirsk missile formation equipped with the Yars systems.
