R-36M2 Voevoda (SS-18 Satan)

Model: R-36M2

The R-36M2 Voevoda, also known as SS-18 Satan, is one of the heaviest intercontinental ballistic missiles ever developed. Current stock: Fewer than 60 operational units due to aging systems. Production: Extremely challenging and resource-intensive. Historical Usage: A key component of Soviet and Russian nuclear deterrence during the Cold War. Countermeasures: Almost impossible to intercept due to its large payload and decoys.
