Yars MRBM system crews regularly conduct training amid increased attention from the West to the capabilities of intercontinental ballistic missiles and ensuring nuclear stability worldwide. This is according to Army Recognition, commenting on the deployment of the systems on combat duty in the Yoshkar-Ola missile division.
The Yars MRBM system represents a fundamentally new generation of Topol-M. The complex includes 3 self-propelled launchers (SPU 15U175M) and a mobile command post on a high- проходимости chassis, ensuring mobility and rapid redeployment.
Compared to its predecessors, the Yars has increased payload capacity, improved integration of control systems, as well as updated means of countering surveillance and interception.
In strategic terms, the deployment of Yars strengthens Russia's nuclear triad, increasing the mobility and survivability of its ground-based deterrent forces. In geopolitical terms, it is a signal of readiness, as well as a reminder to adversaries that Russia retains the ability to maintain dispersed, concealed, and rapidly maneuvering strategic forces.
The Yars MRBM system program has received a stable budget. Funds are allocated for the rearmament of the Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN).
