MOSCOW (AP) – Russian President Vladimir Putin personally oversaw the launch of four intercontinental ballistic missiles and took part in major military training exercises, the Kremlin said on October 27.

Though the exercises were routine and not directly linked to any international developments, what makes them unusual are reports of Mr. Putin direct involvement, something rarely reported by the Kremlin.

“The commander in chief conducted the launch of four intercontinental ballistic missiles,” Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a conference call with reporters.

Mr. Peskov would not elaborate on what specific part Mr. Putin played in the war games, saying that the president took “the necessary moves in line with the standard procedure for relevant situations as the commander in chief.” The drills involved all three elements of Russia’s nuclear capability—land, air, and submarine-based ballistic missiles.

The Russian Defense Ministry said that during the October 26 drills, a Topol ICBM was fired from a Plesetsk launchpad in northwestern Russia hitting a designated target on the Kura firing range on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the far east.

A nuclear submarine in the Barents Sea also launched an ICBM at the same Kura range, while another nuclear submarine in the Sea of Okhotsk fired two ICBM in the opposite direction, hitting targets at the Chizha firing range in the Arkhangelsk region in Russia’s northwest.

As part of the maneuvers, the Tu-160, the Tu-95 and the Tu-22 bomber launched cruise missiles at mock targets at firing ranges on Kamchatka, the Komi region in the far North and in Russia’s ex-Soviet neighbor Kazakhstan.

“All training targets were successfully hit,” according to a Ministry of Defense statement.

The maneuvers are the latest in a steady series of war games intended to strengthen the troops’ readiness amid tensions with the West.

In September, military drills held jointly by Russia and Belarus worried some NATO members, who have criticized what they have described as a lack of transparency and questioned Moscow’s intentions. Russia has rejected the criticism.

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said at a meeting with top brass Friday that the military will continue to strengthen its forces in western Russia in response to a NATO buildup in Poland and the Baltics.

“The military-political situation at our western frontier remain tense and is set to exacerbate,” he said.
