Russia Test Fires new ICBM



Friday, 08 June 2012

Russian military announced Thursday they have successfully test-fired a new version of the Topol-M series codenamed RS-12M.

The rocket, an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), was fired from a military base in southeast Russia, Interfax news agency quoted military sources as saying. The missile hit its target in Kazakhstan republic in central Asia precisely.

The new generation of the Topol-M family aims to counter the US-developed missile shield system being deployed in Western countries.

It will be the mainstay of the Russian Strategic Missile Troops, according to the report.

It's interesting that Russia test fired the ICBM today after Israel and Germany made the strongest statements in the United Nations informal General Assembly on Syria.

Both the Israeli UN representative and German UN representative urged that action be taken immediately to stop the horrific massacres in Syria.

Our “missile shield” is 1,288 warheads deployed on 336 Trident D5 SLBMs deployed on 14 Ohio class SSBNS.

MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION

And what did we do about it? Did we even go on alert? Did we even detect it? Does this violate obumber’s treaty? Hell, if I were putin, I’d attack now knowing full well obumber would cheer for them.

Ya, like this admin would defend America. If they launch, were doomed. I fell safer depending on putin to be reasonable then I do believing obumber would defend America.

Yes, but not with 0bama.

Just the thought of 0bama must disgust Putin. They detest traitors and cowards.

It would have been rich for it’s flight to have been ended by Iron Dome.

“Did we even go on alert? Did we even detect it?”

1) We have ICBMs, SLBMs and Bombers on alert at all times

2) The 5 Defense Support Program satellite in orbit should be able to detect a missile launch anywhere on the planet. I would hope they detected this one.
