Today Russia put in place its nuclear threat against the West by showily readying a Yars strategic missile for combat use, at a location southwest of Moscow.
A video shows the installation of the enormous rocket into a silo at the Kozelsk military compound in the Kaluga region.
In late October, Vladimir Putin was spotted overseeing the launch of a similar Yars nuclear missile on a mock attack on the West amid high tension in the war with Ukraine.
