The R-30 Bulava SLBM (NATO: SS-NX-32)
🕑 Added 2020-04-20 17:31:21 +0000 UTCThis missile has new features previous SLBM's did not have. One of which is the ability to change it's target mid-flight. The 2nd and 3rd stages have maneuvering nozzles to change its ballistic trajectory. This gives the missile anti-missile defense avoidance. The first stage has a rapid fuel burn for maximum acceleration designed to avoid ballistic missile defenses like THAAD. These upgrades are the primary cause for the nearly 40% missile failure.

HAHAHA!
FTC
wiki might be quoting the projected CEP for when/if the weapon works?
But the CEP (120-350) seems comparable to western counterparts (acc to wikipedia). Maybe there is some issue with terminal guidance when ballistic missile defence systems are employed ?

They can't seem to get the Stage 3 mobility right....so, someone is getting a bomb. It's just not the target.

> 12 years of troubled tests, are these still teething problems?
Oops someone pointed this out nvm
Manoeuvering capability added just in case a missile inadvertently fires at port π
First or last ?

Good catch! Thanks.
Love it, if I may critique, the fist stage may be a typo <3
