R-36 ICBMs
The R-36 is a family of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and space launch vehicles designed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The original R-36 was deployed under the GRAU index 8K67 and was given the NATO reporting name SS-9 Scarp, while the later version, the R-36M, also known as RS20, was produced under the GRAU designations 15A14 and 15A18 and was given the NATO reporting name SS-18 Satan. The R-36M was viewed by some US analysts as giving the Soviet Union a first strike advantage over the US due to its rapid silo-reload ability, high throw-weight, and large number of re-entry vehicles. The R-36 became the base for the Tsyklon launch vehicles family, and some R-36 missiles have been converted into Dnepr medium-lift launch vehicles.learn more on wikipedia
