They were tested at 41 land and sea ranges.
In addition, it is claimed that a total of 100,000 military personnel were involved.
This was stated by dictator Vladimir Putin himself during the visit.

Moreover, Russian Tu-160 bombers, capable of carrying nuclear weapons, are also said to have practiced launching cruise missiles over the Barents Sea, and Russia's Baltic Fleet practiced destroying enemy ships, Moscow reported.
It is worth noting that the exercises were observed by American military personnel, as well as representatives of NATO member states — Hungary and Turkey.
