Videos have begun to circulating social media this evening of Russian Topol-M ICBM’s on the move, reportedly in Moscow.

Make of it what you will, everyone will have their own opinion on this one.

It is unclear if this image is the same one or not, sharing for transparency.

I did the usual cross referencing of frames of videos and the pictures across Google lens, Google image search, Yandex and Tineye, I couldn’t see anything in reverse. It’s in Russias interest for these to suddenly appear on social media, be it from tonight or not, but I can’t…

Find anything to suggest if these are old, if anyone happens to find them as previous footage, good, debunk it.

Nice catch via @SteveD3 in relation to a military parade, which would suggest they are from tonight but in preparation for the parade. As per original tweet, people will read into it how they want too.

another video has been sent over in the DM’s from 2018 of Topol on the move in Moscow which could also be the source, just happens to be that footage is suddenly surfacing again. As some said in the reply to the original tweet, psyops.

I mean, he’s right.

Via @AThornebrooke additional footage from 2015 shows shows Topol Movement, in a similar vain, nothing is conclusive in this thread.

This is why I love the OSINT community here, I’ve had several DMs to help dig into this all assisting with finding stuff (haven’t responded to everyone yet im getting there!) and I think we have the answer via @redditdeck and an earlier tweet.

It is timely, that’s for sure.

Adding for additional reference.

Footage captured 3 hours ago confirms the reported movement this evening that Russian MoD tweeted about, which gives the evidence that this footage is highly possible of being new and not old but still related to a parade.

Adding again as I completely missed this reply in my notifications and deserves to be shared for also finding this…,
