MOSCOW: Russia's Strategic Missile Forces have conducted a successful test launch of an RS-20V Voyevoda (NATO codename SS-18 Satan) intercontinental ballistic missile, the forces' press office said Thursday.
The launch was made at 11:20 a.m. Moscow time (8:20 a.m. GMT), a spokesman said, adding that the missile, launched from Orenburg in the south Urals, successfully hit hypothetical targets on the Kamchatka Peninsula.
The launch was made to test the RS-20V's flight and technical characteristics to extend the service life of the R-36M2 missile systems to 20 years, the spokesman said.
"Before the launch, the missile had been in operation for 19 years," he said.
He said the RS-20V was a modernized version of the RS-20B.
The RS-20V Voyevoda was developed in Ukraine's design bureau Yuzhnoye. In 1988, the system, equipped with this missile, was adopted by the Missile Forces. The missile has a maximum flight range of 11,000 kilometers (6,840 miles) and a launch weight of 211 metric tons.
Im not convinced anymore that there is "west" anymore.
EU will become Russian backyard, US will be involved in Iraq, Afghanistan etc...
NATO betrayed USA in Iraq, EU doesent give a damn about USA, soon by influencin Romania and Bulgaria and who knows... Germany? Russia will have its own wotes in NATO.
Situation is pretty much different than 10 years ago. better or worst, I cant tell, butr different it is.
"Interesting!
But we in Serbia, Ortodox Christians are thought that last beast is Western world, and that specificaly will be Vatican.
Second interesting thing is that in Serbian translation of Bible there is no mentioning of "dragon" but -"beast" (Azhdaya) due to the fact that Dragons are positive beings for Serbs as somweath symbols of male principles, and female dragon, "Azhdaya" is beast.
And for us St. George is not killing dragon, but "Azhdaya", or beast"
Interesting teachings by the Orthodox church. I was taught something else by the Catholics, Jehovah Witnesses and the Pentacostals surrounding the beast. What I did was read the bible cover to cover for myself.
It's like a good movie where God creates man, man falls then has to work harder and die younger and younger further from Adam we get (perfection). Women have increases birth pangs and are dominated by their husbands.
Then you have God's blessing on a nation (Israel) to be His spokesperson. Israel rejects God and they suffer the consequences. Christ is prophecied and comes, rejected by Israel again and again Israel is destroyed. Finally, in the end times you have a massive world war and judgement of the earth, leading to a re-birth of civilization under Christ.
God promises in Revelations death will be no more, that mankind will receive more intelligence and learning in the end-times. This is happening as we speak. Man is living longer and in two centuries will not die because of modern medicine, the West treats women as equals instead of being dominated etc. We've have begun our journey back to perfection with WWIII as the last big event before this occurs.
Wow, thanks man, nice equipment list and code names!
With all due respect, NATO named it Satan back in the 70's. Read the thread and stop jumping to conclusions.
I am aware Nato issues the names/terms for Soviet/Russian missiles, however the name still fits the one in charge of the Kremlin.
"Interesting again!
(My father is Catholic, so I dont hold definitive stance between two teachings)
Also there are more Orthodox Church teachings. In addition that wast is "bad" it is also a denial of idea of new ID documents which hold bar-code. It is commonly compared to "Bar" as what you call "Bear" and a symbol of Satan, Ortodox teaching is same but it emphases on "Baar" is a Germanic word for bear, also BAR-code (pronounces on Slavic thoungs as "Baar-Code". In Greece they, as vastly Orthodox country rejected new IDs with Bar-code, and similar anti-Bar-code movement is rising in Serbia. Orthodox Church teaches against those documents as it is in Bible "Who doesn't receive a mark of the beast will have no right at all" so Bar-code is compared to the "mark of the beast". Also in Book Of Revelations is a picture of a women chased by red beast from the east, we hol dthat that beast is Islam. Woman is descrived that have a helo of 12 stars on her head and a half-moon under her legs. ortodox teaching (unofficial) is that that woman is Serbia, on north is EU (hungary) with EU symbol of 12 stars and half-moon are Albanian Muslims, and that child that beast wants to kill(eat) is Kosovo, that islam wants to totaly islamise."
Probably something to Baar and Bear. Based on the animals representing the beast, these still seem to be European countries and Russia. Remember something my brother, despite what the exact true meaning of scripture: Freedom of choice is a God given right. Any country or group that takes that away is satanic or anti-christ whether it is the islamic hoardes or communism. Those that try and take freedom away and tell you what to do and how to live is worth fighting against. 'Live Free or Die' is the slogan of our state here in America, New Hampshire.

True!
But "freedom Of Choice" in Europe... dosent exist.
Per example, in Serbia, if you declare that you are against entering EU, you are by default declared by EU supporters and fans ro be:"fascist, Nationalist Shouvinist, backward, member of dark forces, etc..."
If you say that you would like to boost Church (any Christian Church) role in the country, you are attacked by paro-EU clones to be:"fascist, Nationalist Shouvinist, backward, member of dark forces, etc..."
Worst sin is if you say that you would like to see Serbia as Christian, neutral and non-EU country.
So I and much of my compatriots, belive that EU if not Bibical, still is a danegrous kind of evil, and EU-clones in Serbia are mostly concidered to be Devills little helpers...
And than there is George Soros and his clones...
If you disslike Soros you are Fascist...
Figure it out for yourself...
And motto of Serbian nationalists/patriots is "Sloboda ili smrt"- Liberty or death.
Actually we have only one word for freedom and liberty- Sloboda

Socialism is not freedom. Our country has begun leaning in this direction of late and 1/2 of us here are very upset.
"And motto of Serbian nationalists/patriots is "Sloboda ili smrt"- Liberty or death.

NICE. We'll all live in a free world, most likely in our lifetime but their will be this big war first.
I figured they named it after Miroslav Satan.
