Putin Flexes Military Muscles With New ICBM Launch

This is the moment a Russian intercontinental ballistic missile is launched into the sky as the military shows off its firepower and tests its combat readiness.

The Russian Ministry of Defence released footage of their cold-launched, three-stage, RT-2PM2 Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missile being launched at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in north-western Russia’s Arkhangelsk Oblast region.

The video shows the steel cover of the launch shaft opening with a powerful rocket making its way out of it in the next few seconds.
