Russia’s Strategic Rocket Forces have test fired a road-mobile Topol MR (aka RS-24 Yars/NATO reporting name SS-27 Mod2 or SS-29) intercontinental-range ballistic missile (ICBM) from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, in Arkhangelsk Oblast, approximately 800 kilometers north of Moscow on February 6… The goal of the test launch was “to check, tactical, technical and flight characteristics of the prospective missile system.” It is unclear what “prospective missile system” alludes to, but it could refer to a new maneuverable reentry vehicle (MaRV), decoys or other penetration aids. – The Diplomat Photo: Sputnik
