Russia Just Pulled Off a Massive Nuclear Weapons Drill (That America Can't Match)

While all eyes are focused on North Korea, Russia recently conducted a massive drill of its road mobile intercontinental ballistic missile force. The drills involved all of the major Russian mobile ICBMs including the Topol, Topol-M and the Yars.

“Today, missile regiments of the Topol, Topol-M and Yars missile systems have carried out a night march. The regiments are located in five regions from the Tver region to Altai Krai,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
More than 600 piece of hardware including launchers, were operated to ensure combat patrol en-route.”

The drill appears to be a full scope exercise complete with adversary forces attempting to attack the launch vehicles and contaminated terrain.

This can be matched. The United States developed a mobile missile called the Midgetman. It had a mobile launcher but when we scaled back our nuclear weapon programs in the 1990s this was a put on the backburner

Do we really need a land based mobile launcher?

Yes. They are mobile and are not have a fixed missile silo. They are easily to hide.
