Russian intercontinental ballistic missile. The UR-100K was a version of the 8K84M with further improvements in accuracy and capable of delivering three separate (but not independently targeted) re-entry vehicles.
Development of the UR-100K began at the end of the 1960's, with the objective of fielding a version of the 8K84M with further improvements in accuracy but also capable of delivering three separate (but not independently targeted) re-entry vehicles. A two-piece nose fairing separated at the end of the second-stage engine burn to expose the warheads. Pyrotechnic charges then separated the re-entry vehicles, which fell in a triangular patter about 1.5 to 2.0 km around the aim-point. Decoys were mounted on the second stage below the warheads and were deployed after they had separated. American National Security Adviser Kissinger complained in the SALT-1 arms talks that the silos and command points of this version of this missile could not be distinguished by American reconnaissance assets from the single-warhead version. However in practice there were internal differences between the missiles and they could not be interchanged as the Americans claimed. Trials began on 2 February 1971 and were completed on 24 November 1971.
Maximum range: 10,600 km (6,500 mi). Number Standard Warheads: 3. Standard RV: MRV. Warhead yield: 350 KT. CEP: 1.09 km (0.67 mi). Alternate warhead: 1,200 kg (2,600 lb). Maximum range with alternate warhead: 12,000 km (7,000 mi). Number Alternate Warheads: 1. Alternate warhead yield: 1,300 KT. Alternate warhead CEP: 1.09 km (0.67 mi). Boost Propulsion: Storable liquid rocket, N2O4/UDMH. Initial Operational Capability: 1973. Total Number Built: 220.
