15U175M TEL from RS-24 Yars ICBMThe Strategic Missile Forces are armed with two variants of complexes with the RS-24 Yars ICBM: 15P155M mobile ground missile system (PGRK) with 15Zh55M rocket with placement of the rocket in the 15U175M mobile autonomous launcher (APU) on the MZKT-79221 multi-axis chassis; stationary silo missile system 15P165M with the placement of the 15Zh65M missile in the silo launcher (silo) 15P765M.
The 15U175M on multi-axle chassis MZKT-79221 (Minsk, series since 2000), is similar to the APU complex "Topol M". Topographic control of the APU is carried out at any point of the patrol route automatically using inertial navigation system with satellite correction.

Camouflage of Yars mobile ground-based missile systems and counteraction to aerial reconnaissance systems was tested during a comprehensive inspection of the Irkutsk missile formation. This was reported 25 March 2024 to the Russian Ministry of Defense. They noted that among the main goals of the inspection conducted by the commission of the Strategic Missile Forces (Strategic Missile Forces) command is to assess the real state of affairs and the level of combat readiness of the formation. The state of combat training and the coherence of the military personnel’s actions when performing tasks will be checked.
“During the inspection, a special place will be taken by the command and staff exercise. The main issues being worked out during it will be the camouflage of Yars mobile ground-based missile systems, countering modern and promising aerial reconnaissance systems in cooperation with formations and units of the Central Military District, as well as the use of new units - a reconnaissance platoon (using UAVs)," they said. The department noted that in total, more than 3 thousand military personnel and about 300 pieces of equipment were involved in the exercises.
