Russia Readies Yars Nuclear Capable Missile Amid Ukraine War

Russia has reasserted its nuclear threat against the West by readying the Yars strategic missile for combat use. A video showed the installation of the huge rocket into a silo at the Kozelsk military compound in Russia's western Kaluga region. The intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) has a range of 7,500 miles and was installed in a silo launch pad using a special transport and loading unit. According to one Russian newspaper, the Yars missile complex has a capacity “12 times greater than the American bomb that destroyed Hiroshima.” The operational range of the Yars missile makes it capable of striking the US or any part of Europe. 0:00 - INTRODUCTION 1:28 - WHAT IS RUSSIA’S YARS ICBM? 3:17 - PUTIN READIES NUKE-COMPATIBLE BOMBERS 4:26 - IS THIS PUTIN’S MESSAGE TO THE WEST?
