On August 22, 2017, a video appeared on Youtube that showed transportation of several high-precise missile complexes OTR-21 Tochka in the direction of Ukrainian border. Missiles of OTR-21 Tochka can fly up to 120km (and can carry nuclear warheads, by the way): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTR-21_Tochka

Volunteers of InformNapalm volunteer intelligence community analyzed the video and identified that the train consisting of 40 cargo and passenger railway carriages transported 47 items of military equipment and 170-200 people. The train was filmed in the suburbs of Volgograd and was moving west towards Ukrainian border. They identified a full tactical missile battalion, which consists of 2 Tochka-U (OTR-21 Tochka) batteries with additional missiles, signal equipment, mobile generators and mobile kitchens. Most likely, the battalion belongs to 464th Missile Brigade (Kapustin Yar, Znamensk) or to 60-th Combat Training Center (Kapustin Yar, Znamensk).

Relocation of OTR-21 Tochka Missile Complexes is not related to the West-2017 Belarus-Russian military exercise, since no missile launches are planned there. Moreover, these missile systems are expiring military equipment (made in 1970’s), which Russia usually disposes of to the war in Ukraine.
