Russian SS-18 Silo Scrapped

July 6, 2005 :: Itar-Tass :: News

Russia has demolished a silo-based ICBM launcher in Chelyabinsk, reports Itar-Tass. The scrapping was said to have been carried out according to the terms of the 1994 U.S.-Russian Strategic Arms Reductions Treaty (START-1). The silo-based launcher was designed to hold the SS-18 Satan ICBM (otherwise known as RS-20B Voyevoda), the largest of the fourth generation Soviet ICBMs and the only “heavy” missile allowed under the second Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT II). According to the report, an additional four silo-based launchers from the Kartaly region will be scrapped by the end of 2005. (Article)
