This doesn't seem too threatening to me at first look. So why is everyone so concerned?
Can anyone tell me what makes this missile especially capable of avoiding the missile shield?

Who is so concerned?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
Going only on the information in the article, I would guess the multiple warheads. Once the missile breaks up into several warheads it's much harder to intercept them all. Of course, that wouldn't help much if it were intercepted by a base in Eastern Europe while on its way to North America.Comment

Re: Russia tests new ICBM
At a guess, it is a lot faster, or does something funky like splits into multiple warheads or has decoys.Originally posted by Ecthy

But that's nothing new I thought?
I'd say it can teleport itself.BlahComment

Or it simply doesn't, and is a redesigned peice of crap based on something that used to be badass 20 years ago, like most "new" Russian hardware.

I reckon it actually burrows into the ground and comes at you from underneath and not from the skies. No-one would see that coming. Except me.

Yes, multiple warheads and decoys are nothing new, so there must be something else to this one.Comment
