The Yars ICBM, also known as the RS-24, is a Russian intercontinental ballistic missile system designed to deliver nuclear warheads and has a range of more than 12,000km. The Yars ICBM is capable of evading missile defense systems because of its advanced maneuvering capabilities and the ability to launch multiple warheads simultaneously.
An intercontinental ballistic missile of the Yars complex in the version for stationary basing was loaded into a silo in the Kozelsky rocket unit in the Kaluga region, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

"The intercontinental ballistic missile was loaded into the silo launcher using the hydraulic mechanism of a special transport and loading unit. Technological operations continued for several hours," the Defense Ministry said in its description of how the missile was installed.

The ministry noted that the base area's infrastructure has already been prepared and includes facilities for personnel to be trained and for their recreation.
