Russian ICBM

Russian Topol ICBM on transporter / launcher

Over the years I've seen several videos of these massive transporters in action (here's one) so when this showed up in my feed it was like old home week and I had to post it. I've put up a couple of posts regarding the Topol rocket (here and here), but now it looks like the Russians are going to pull them from service. Not to worry though, they are going to replace it with another BFR (Big Fat Rocket) that is also going to be carried on a BFT (Big Fat Transporter). 

RS24 Yars SS29 ICBM Missile Carrier

New one looks just like the old one, but the Yars is a MIRV (Multiple Independent Reentry Vehicle) which means it carries not one, but several nuclear warheads. Yay.
