Russia is staging wide-scale military exercises in Siberia involving its strategic missile forces in a show of nuclear strength amid the fighting in Ukraine following Moscow’s invasion more than a year ago.
Russia’s Defense Ministry announced the drills this week on its Telegram social media site. The ministry called the exercise a “comprehensive control check” of the missile formation based in Omsk in Siberia’s southwestern region.
“The commission of the Strategic Missile Forces Command will check the coherence of the actions of military personnel in the performance of tasks,” Russian defense officials said on Telegram.
