Vladimir Putin has tested nuclear-capable missiles in what will be seen as a major threat to the West.
Russian troops practised the simulated "electronic launches" of nuclear-capable Iskander mobile ballistic missile systems in the western enclave of Kaliningrad, in the Baltic Sea between Poland and Lithuania, the defence ministry said in a statement.
Forces practised single and multiple strikes at targets imitating launchers of missile systems, airfields, protected infrastructure, military equipment and command posts of a mock enemy, the statement said.
