In addition to practical tests, participants were also evaluated on exams covering traffic regulations, technical characteristics, and the structure of the “Yars” mobile missile complex.
The final stages included theoretical tests, compliance with chemical, biological and radiological (CBRN) protection standards, assessment of soldiers’ physical readiness, and shooting training.
The video released by the Ministry shows the heavy vehicles manoeuvring in challenging terrain, highlighting the importance of operator training for the combat readiness of Russia’s strategic nuclear forces.
