The missile, for which the North Atlantic Alliance has the code SS-27 Mod 2, was sent from the Pleseck military cosmodrome in the Arkhangelsk region, the Russian RBC server reported.
Another rocket, this time an anti-ship missile Zirkon, was fired by a Russian frigate in the Barents Sea in practice, and a test of the Sineva ballistic missile, launched from a submarine, took place.
The Belarusian troops then conducted a practice firing of the Iskander tactical ballistic missile with a range of up to 500 kilometers.
Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers and MiG-31 fighters, which carried supersonic Kinžál missiles, also took part in the exercise.
On Thursday, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that, as part of the exercise, nuclear warheads for Iskander launch systems were delivered to field warehouses in Belarus.
“I used to be about this machine (of the Russian Iskander complex – note red.) dreamed and today we have more than one. And you know better than I that it is a wonderful weapon!’ Lukashenko boasted according to Ukrainska pravda.
