RT-2UTTH - Topol-M
SS-27

The single-warhead RT-2UTTH Topol-M is an advanced version of the silo-based and mobile Topol intercontinental ballistic missile. While the SS-25 Topol is generally similar to the American Minuteman-2, the more sophisticated SS-27 Topol-M is comparable to the American Minuteman-3.

The Suburn is getting a bit dated as the Russians are building new smarter & sleeker weapons like the 290km/Mach 2.9 Yakhont(more famously known as the joint Indo-Russian Brahmos) & the Klub/Alfa cruise missile(which is small enough to be launched from 533mm submarine torpedo tubes).
