Topol-M (a couple of pictures + text + video)
Topol-M (NATO SS-27) - the newest Russian intercontinental ballistic missile developed after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Over the next decade, "Topol-M" could be the basis of weapons of Strategic Missile Forces
Development
Work began in the late 1980s on the basis of aging "Topol", were a group of Russian enterprises and design bureaus headed by the Moscow Institute of Thermal production - at the Votkinsk Machine Building Plant.
For the first time openly about the development of a new missile Russia announced in 1993. First Flight Test conducted in December 1994. The technology, used in the "Topol-M", used in the new sea-launched missile "Bulava».
Features
Marching vёrdotoplivny engine rockets "Topol-M" allows it to pick up speed much faster than previous types of missiles, created in Russia and the Soviet Union. This makes it difficult to intercept its current and future missile defense systems on the most vulnerable, the initial part of the flight. Several dozen auxiliary thrusters, instruments and control mechanisms allow the warhead to perform maneuvers on the trajectory, making it difficult for her to intercept the final part of the trajectory. The structure of the warhead also includes special means to overcome missile defense systems of the enemy. (Some more features, see video)
Tests
Russia in the period from 1994 to 2008. He conducted a series of tests mainly in g.Plesetske. Unsuccessful was only one test when the rocket off course and was eliminated by military.
