The production of the Topol mobile ballistic missile started in 1985, and nowadays, they are the main component of Russia's strategic nuclear war potential. This mobile ICBM is mounted on a 7-axle heavy truck, MAZ-7917, capable of moving through any off-road terrain and attaining a speed of up to 60 km/h on highways. The truck moves all the time during patrolling, and a missile can be launched from any point of the route - this makes it difficult for the enemy to detect its position. The missile can be readied to launch in 2 minutes after the order is received. The three-stage rocket can deliver a nuclear warhead of 0.55 mt up to 10,000 km and has the complete complex of anti-missile defense breaching devices. Currently, the Topol missile's guaranteed term of service is 21 years.
