More than 1,000 servicemen were involved in the exercises, about 100 pieces of equipment were involved, including ten samples of promising special equipment.

"Strategic missile men worked out the issues of withdrawing missile systems to field positions, making marches up to 100 km long, organizing camouflage and combat security," the agency's website says.
