Russia has successfully test fired an intercontinental ballistic missile as part of efforts to extend the lifetime of the soviet-built missile.
The 31-year-old RS-18 strategic missile, which NATO calls SS-19 Stiletto, was launched from the Baikonur space base in Kazakhstan.
“The launch was carried out in accordance with a program to prolong the lifetime of the RS-18 strategic missiles,” a spokesman for strategic missile forces Alexander Vovk was quoted by Rusisa’s Interfax news agency as saying.

Vovk said the test confirmed that the RS-18 strategic missile is highly reliable and will remain on combat duty beyond 2010.
The first RS-18 missile came into service in 1975. It is 24 meters (79 feet) long, with a diameter of 2.5 meters; it has a combat range exceeding 9,600 km (6,000 miles) and can be equipped with up to six warheads.

Does it come in a sports model. Fearing these large missiles isnt what you should be looking at its those KGB designed suit case nuclear weapons small enough to be under the radar or detection. Under the UN charters any diplomat has imunity from any search or ability for a person to examine his items that he or she brings with him. Makes you wonder. Oviously resident acomadations which are mostlikly on U.S. soil, are required for these individuals and so forth. It isnt an issue if the senerio is possible it is has it occured. With this new missile sheild development to make any form space transport of nuclear devices to target far away areas doesnt ensure or fully protect when you can smuggle the device in the target area and make it undetectable and ready for use if called on. This isnt White and Black world nor is there a honor system. Its a open rules game and the guy with the bigger gun and brain dominates. It would be a sad day if you would assume all options are taken in and implimented. Theres great saying ” Peace is just a break between war” ……………..
