Watch:\u00a0Russian Military Conducts Test Of Huge Mobile ICBM<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Russia on Friday unveiled that it conducted a successful combat training launch of a mobile, solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile<\/strong> from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in the northwestern Arkhangelsk region – host to a key missile defense and aeronautical testing base in the Arctic region.<\/p>\n

“A training-combat launch of a mobile-based solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile was carried out at the Plesetsk State Testing Cosmodrome,” a defense ministry statement said, citing the work of the Strategic Missile Forces. “The training warheads arrived in the designated area at the Kura test range (Kamchatka Peninsula).”<\/p>\n

The Kura test range lies about 4,160 miles to the east<\/strong> of where the\u00a0Arkhangelsk region launch occurred, making for an impressively distant flight across Russia.<\/p>\n

The military confirmed that the “tactical, technical and flight characteristics of the missile system” were monitored and analyzed, and that the flight went off flawlessly.<\/p>\n

“All assigned tasks were completed in full,” the ministry said, stating that the ICBM maintained a “flawless trajectory.” <\/strong>However, the ministry didn’t identified the specific missile type used.<\/p>\n

Regional outlet Meduza<\/em> notes that “In\u00a0May 2026, Russia launched a\u00a0Yars ICBM from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome toward the Kura test range on\u00a0Kamchatka” – suggesting that this latest test could be of the same Yars missile type.<\/p>\n

A mobile, solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile such as the one newly launched, is something which could eventually be used to directly target Ukraine, or else possibly Kiev’s NATO backers if a broader conflict were to break out.<\/p>\n

Separately, it’s being reported this week that another ballistic missile was actually used in combat. “Russia has reportedly used a newly upgraded ballistic missile, provisionally known as the Iskander-1000, for the first time in combat, with Ukraine\u2019s Main Directorate of Intelligence reporting that it struck a target in the capital Kiev on August 27,” Military Watch Magazine<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

“The 9M723-2 ballistic missile used is reportedly an upgraded derivative of the 9M723-1 missile used by the\u00a0older Iskander-M system<\/a>, and can achieve a 1,000 kilometre range, where the Iskander-M system was previously limited to a 500 kilometre range,” the publication continues.<\/p>\n

The missile flew more than 6,700 kilometers to a test site on the Kamchatka Peninsula.<\/p>\n

“According to Ukrainian sources, the principal change involves the missile\u2019s propulsion system, as the 9M723-2 reportedly incorporates a larger engine, requiring a corresponding enlargement of the launch tube used by the missile’s launcher,” the report also describes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
