Recently, the Russian Federation succesfully tested a nuclear warhead and a delivery system in seperate tests designed to limit environmental harm. Based on information from these tests, the Russian Federation has designed several variants of its own ICBM. First is the General Defense ICBM, to be fired from underground bunkers in the event of a nuclear attack against the Russian Federation or its allies. The second, called the BLNW, is a smaller missile using a weaker warhead to be launched from aircraft such as the B1 and B52. The third, the FLMW is a mini nuclear warhead to be launched from conventional ground attack aircraft against relatively small targets, such as enemy missile silos. The fourth is a naval version of the mini warhead, placed on a cruise missile, and it can be used to attack enemy missile silos, or, in an emergency and with cause, against enemy ships posing a major threat. This is called the Naval Micro Nuclear Munition, or NMNM.

The GPICBM and BLNW are only to be used in a Mutual Assured Destruction scenario. Meaning, these will not be launched unless the Russian Federation or its major allies are attacked with nuclear weapons. The FLMWW and NMNM will mainly be used as defense against a nuclear Scorched Earth policy attack and, if possible, as supplement to the MAD policy.

These weapons and/or information needed to make them will not be sold to any non-allied nations, and ally nations must adopt the same usage policy in order to acquire them.
