Big sucker.
The transport is a MAZ-7917 variant (crew cabins) but was not carrying a Topol ICBM. That is evident due to the lack of effective force protection on scene and also, the transport bed is not bearing down on the tires as a loaded transport would.
Interesting that the Russians engage in such a primitive shell game requiring transport on local, unimproved roads full of car traffic. The terrain offers easy ambush by hostile forces. The transports would be easily spotted if carrying an actual ICBM.
BTW, Topol means a Poplar tree in Russian.
it was this sort of thing that prompted Ike to build the Interstate Highway System
Nothing says power like whipping out your missile in public and causing a traffic jam!
Big sucker.
I call baloney. These are just sewer sucking trucks.
Putin - “Nuclear, schmuclear....somebody has to get the sh-t out of Moscow!”
When tension is high, these trucks with ICBMs loaded go to forests, where they can live independently for several months.
It is almost impossible to find such a truck in the forest. It’s a usual training for Russian Forces when trucks hide in forests and they try to find them with helicopters, planes and satellites.
