Russia has successfully test launched an intercontinental ballistic missile from its northern space-vehicle launching site, Plesetsk.

The intercontinental Topol class ballistic missile (CC-25 under Western standards) was launched on Thursday at 1:38 p.m. Moscow time from a mobile launching installation, sources from the northern cosmodrome told ITAR-TASS news agency.

The aim of the test was to assure that the exploitation period of the missile could be extended, a Russian space forces’ press-service representative told Regions.ru online daily.

The flight of the missile was strictly controlled by Russian space force devices. The launch and the flight of Topol have met all necessary standards. At the scheduled time the missile hit its target situated on the exercise polygon on the Kamchtaka Peninsula.

A little sabre rattling is all we get from the great bear?

They are beginning to get a bit cocky from the new oil wealth. This is good. Pride goes before a big spanking.

Russia is deploying a new series of nuclear tipped missiles with warheads designed with the aid of US supercomputers. The new Russian SS-X-27 (Topol) missile is being moved directly into deployment with an advanced 550 kiloton nuclear warhead made by the Arzamas-16 nuclear design bureau.

Russia will be swarmed the minute they let their nuclear deterrent lapse. Russia actually has stuff worth invading for, as opposed to China and N Kor which has nothing of interest but is paranoid anyway.
