During the exercises, the teams of the Yars mobile ground missile systems (PGRS) of the Irkutsk missile unit solve the issues of carrying out marches up to 100 kilometers in length, dispersing units with changing positions in the field, their engineering team , organize camouflage and combat. security.
“As part of the maneuver operations, missile units and subunits will practice dispersion tasks in forest areas to increase the stealth of the Yars PGRK units. Support units will remove special equipment from zones of conditional chemical contamination,” commented the combat training staff of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
At this time, the anti-sabotage units carry out maneuvers at distant approaches to field positions to occupy a more advantageous position in relation to the sabotage and reconnaissance groups.
Let us remember that a Yars missile can very quickly and reliably transport nuclear units with a total mass 24 times greater than the American bomb that destroyed Hiroshima to any point on the planet.
The launch weight of the Yars rocket is approximately the same as that of two trams – 46,000 tons. Three fuel stages launch the missile warheads over 12,000 kilometers, which have a lethal power of 500 kilotons.
During flight, the rocket splits into separate blocks, which fly towards their targets at high speed along different trajectories. It is impossible to shoot them down when they get close to the target.
Let us remember that in August 1945 the United States bombed the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The total power of the explosions was up to 39 kilotons. As a result of the explosions of American nuclear bombs, 80 thousand Japanese died, and a few months later more than 200 thousand people died from injuries and radiation diseases.
MEANWHILE
In Kamchatka and on the islands of the Kuril mountain range, combat teams of the coastal missile systems divisions “Bastion” (BRK) of the Pacific Fleet practiced launching a missile strike against a detachment of ships of the conventional enemy within the framework of the bilateral exercise of cash groups.
Mobile launchers were immediately deployed in the indicated areas with pre-equipped positions. The missile teams, within the established regulatory deadlines, carried out electronic launches of Onyx missiles against targets that simulated an amphibious unit of the conventional enemy, preventing amphibious landings on the coast.
