Russia Ramps Up New 'Satan' Nuke After U.S. Talks Breakdown
AOL ^ | 12/19/2011 | Carlo Munoz

This new intercontinental ballistic missile, nicknamed "Satan" by Western analysts, will sport a 100-ton warhead and replace the Voevoda-class missile in the Russian nuclear arsenal, according to recent news reports. This massive ICBM will take its place alongside the Yars, Topol-M and Bulava-class ballistic missiles sometime in 2015, according to Sergei Karakaev, head of Russia's Strategic Missile Forces. Development of the new ICBM will coincide with plans to revamp the country's missile silo complexes over the next decade, Karakaev told Russian media. Moscow's decision to accelerate work on the new "Satan"-class ICBM was directly tied to recently failed missile defense negotiations between Russia and the United States.

An awful lot of diplomatic situations have “broken down” since Hussein and Hillary took over.

The kings of Gog and Magog will attack Israel in the early Trib. This name for the anti-Christs of the soviet union seems to fit as they are soldiers of Satan.

Well maybe, but you can’t deny the rest of the world loves us more now that Barack has bowed our nation on bended knee. /s

When I think back on the reasons the Left thought Bush was an idiot, and why we think Obama is one, it seems to me our reasons stand up and their are a vapor trail.

We had a layover in Russia on our way back from Israel. Some of the unfriendliest folks I’ve ever met. No offense to those of Russian descent on here. :)

Alternate translation: “We took the measure of this man, Obama, and he came up very short.”

What happened to all of those SALT treaties? I thought everybody was getting rid of their nukes? Oh, just us?

Stupid libs.

Rooskies should "revamp" their oil/gas industry.

Then again, Rooskies haven't been revamping much of anything these days except for their rhetoric.

100 ton warhead? Did they mean 100 megaton? If so, that is close to the largest ever....

The author is an idiot.

The Russians do not, and will not have a "100 ton warhead".

I think this joke comes from Ann Coulter.

A Frenchman, an Englishman, and a Russian are sitting in a bar watching the news. They are informed that the world is going to end the next day at sunset. The Frenchman says I'm going to buy the finest food, the finest wine, enjoy it with a beautiful woman and make love to her. The Englishman says I'm going to go for a long walk in the country with my sheep dog. The Russian says I'm going to burn down my neighbor's house.

I hate AOL. They are trying to force a sign up before allowing one to read the article. Did I already say I hate AOL?

I gave them phony info, they sent me off into AOL jumble story land, with the story you have here not in view. A classic bait and switch.

Freepers hate that stuff.

Please, in the future, try out the access to an article, consider how you yourself arrived there, before bringing it here. Thanks

The SS-18 Satan has a throw weight of more like 10 tons. A ten ton single warhead works out to around 25-30 megatons, when you consider the re-entry vehicle and all that. The largest nuclear explosion remains the Tsar Bomba from the early 60’s at 50 megatons. It could have been 100 megatons if it had a U-238 jacket for fast fission.
More likely, if there are going to be new SS-18’s, they will be the multiple warhead variety, which the latest version is capable of carrying quite a few.
