The Ukrainian source claims that after arriving in Russia, Fath-360 ballistic missiles were loaded onto a large cargo train. It is unclear where they were taken next. According to the Ukrainian source cited by Sky News, the Fath-360s may have been sent to the Ashuluk military training ground in Russia’s Astrakhan Oblast.
