Russia has caught up to our missile technology. Wonder how? Did Obama take this into account in the little deal he made with Russia over limiting nukes? The flight tests of the Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile have been completed and it will now be adopted for service with the Russian Navy, President Dmitry Medvedev said Tuesday.
Among its abilities are evasive maneuvering, mid-course countermeasures and decoys, and a warhead fully shielded against both physical and electromagnetic pulse damage. The Bulava is designed to be capable of surviving a nuclear blast at a minimum distance of 500 meters.[10]
The Bulava's advanced technology allows it to carry up to 10 hypersonic, individually guided, maneuverable warheads with a yield of 100?150 kt each.[9]
Borei class submarines carrying Bulava missiles are expected to be an integral part of the Russian nuclear triad until 2040.
