Russian trucks loaded with ballistic missiles seen in action during nuclear drill

Russia and Belarus finished a three-day nuclear readiness drill involving mobile missile launchers, nuclear submarines, and aircraft capable of carrying nuclear weapons.

The exercise reportedly included handling nuclear munitions and coordinating command procedures across strategic forces.

Systems featured in the drill included the Yars ICBM, Kinzhal and Zircon missiles, the Imperator Aleksandr III submarine, and MiG-31K aircraft.

Putin and Lukashenko framed the drill as a security signal to rivals amid the war in Ukraine and rising tensions with NATO.
