Russia has prepared one if its nuclear weapons for combat just a day after another one was readied. New footage shows a Yars strategic missile being placed in an underground shaft in a
Russian military complex. It comes a day after another Yars missile was manoeuvred into a silo on the same site. The Yars intercontinental ballistic missile is one of the most deadly weapons
with a 7,500-mile range, meaning that it could hit the UK or US. In the video released by the Russian Defence Ministry, a huge missile is seen being loaded into an underground shaft at the
Kozelsky compound around 160 miles southwest of Moscow. The footage shows the missile being carried on a Yars launch vehicle alongside a heavy military presence. Footage then shows the
missile being lowered into the launch silo and then titled 90 degrees. It is widely seen as a form of nuclear showboating ahead of Russia's Strategic Missile Forces Day on Saturday. In
October, Russian President Vladimir Putin was filmed watching the launch of a similar Yars missile as part of a mock attack on Britain and the US. It comes after a pro-Putin MP and military
expert called for a nuclear strike on the UK. READ MORE: RUSSIAN HACKERS CLAIM TO HAVE INFILTRATED FBI Political scientist Vitaly Tretyakov was sceptical about the General's sudden call

capital. He said: "Do you seriously think it is necessary to strike Moscow? "And [Ukraine and the West] are serious about it… "So why are we embarrassed to say that we should
strike London?"
