On August 28, Russia conducted a combat-training launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the warheads successfully hit their designated targets in Kamchatka.

This was reported by "RBC."

The Russian side claims that the purpose of the launch was to verify the missile system’s tactical, technical, and flight characteristics.

During the test, the Russian military also practiced redeploying the launch battery to a remote area.

The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the assigned tasks were fully completed.

The purpose of the launch was reportedly to verify the tactical, technical, and flight characteristics of the missile system.

Russia has already used the “Oreshnik” medium-range ballistic missile against Ukraine three times in a mock-up version without a warhead.

As a reminder, over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian units neutralized a Russian Tu-95MS in the Saratov region and struck Russian targets in the Black Sea.
