Due to recent rather heavy military spending, we are forced to cut back our ICBM arsenal somewhat, in order to free up money and personnel for conventional forces. These missile are all silo-launched. Silos for the weapons must eb built by the recipient nation.

We are therefore selling off SS-17 and SS-19 ICBMs to any nations we approve. All nations will have to pass a strict background check. We will not sell to:

1) Aggressive Governments, Right or Left-wing
2) Far right-wing Governments/organisations
3) Terrorist organisations
4) Enemies of DPUO
5) Enemies of our allies
6) Any front-man for any of the above.

Discounts are available for members of any alliances with us.

N.B. We abide by the NS rule that in general a nation below a population of 250 million does not have nuclear weapons, at least not ICBMs. Orders from such will be turned down.

SS-17/UR-100MR

UR-100MR / SS-17 SPANKER
The UR-100MR / SS-17 intercontinental ballistic missile is a two-stage, tandem, storable liquid-propellant missile intended to replace the light UR-100 SS-11 missile. It was a competing design with the SS-19 Stiletto, though in fact both were deployed. It was the first Soviet ICBM to have a Multiple Independently targetable Reentry Vehicle (MIRV) and the first to use a cold launch system. The UR-100MR / SS-17 intercontinental ballistic missile was assessed as being capable of delivering a throw-weight of 6,000 lb to a range of 5,500 nm. The throw-weight consists of a post-boost vehicle and either one or four reentry vehicles.

The overall dimensions of the SS-17 were determined by the characteristics of the SS-11 UR-100 silos in which the UR-100MR missile was planned for deployment. The diameter of both stages was increased in relative to that of the UR-100, and is 2.25 m for the first and 2.1m for the second stage. The UR-100MR uses asymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and nitrogen tetraoxide propellants. The first stage uses a closed-cycle single-chambered sustainer engine and a four-chambered open-cycle control motor. The second stage is equipped with a single-chamber open-cycle sustainer, placed inside the lower part of the fuel tank. The flight control during the first stage uses deflecting the control motor chambers, while the second stage uses gas injected into the diverging part of the nozzles. Solid propellant retrorockets are used to separate the stages.

The rocket MR UR-100 was placed in previously hardened SS-11 UR-100 silos. The missiles in their transport-launch canister were inserted into the silo with the use of two shock-absorption belts. The SS-17 uses a sabot cold launch or pop-up launch system that facilitated modifying existing SS-11 facilities.


Versions available

SS-17 Mod-1 - This initial version of the SS-17 carried 4 MIRV warhead with a yield of 0.3-0.75 Mt each, an instrument module with a command structure and solid-propellant rocket motor comprise the post-boost vehicle. The missile had an inertial guidance system with a CEP of 0.28 nm.

Cost: 28,700,000 USD per missile

250 available


SS-17 Mod-2 - The Mod-2 missile carries only a single warhead with a yield of 4-6 MT.

Cost: 36,500,000 USD per missile

160 available


SS-17 Mod-3Like the SS-17 Mod-1 it carries four MIRV warheads, but it incorporated enhanced survivability and was equipped with an improved commando system and a modernized nose cone.

Cost: 42,000,000 USD per missile

SOLD OUT!


SS-19/UR-100N

The UR-100N is similar to the UR-100, but with an increased diameter and longer propellant tanks its launch weight was more than doubled and the throw-weight was increased over three-fold. The UR-100N uses asymmetrical dimethylhidrazine and nitrogen tetraoxide propellants. The first stage consists of four autonomous closed-cycle single-chambered rocket motors. The second stage has a closed-cycle single chambered sustainer and a four chambered open cycle control motor with four rotating nozzles. The guidance and control system of the SS-19 is identical to that of the SS-18, and permits remote monitoring of missile status while on alert, as well as automatic pre-launch preparation, remote missile targeting before launch and in-flight control of the missile via a flexible pitch control program. The UR-100N silos were constructed at the same sites as the UR-100U silos but were completely dismantled and rebuilt to increase the survivability of the new missiles. The UR-100N was launched in the hot mode through the thrust of the first stage sustainer engine.


Versions available

SS-19 Mod-1 - Through the increase of throw-weight and reduction of the size of the warheads relative to the UR-100 the UR-100N carries six MIRV warheads with a yield of 550 KT each. The total system, booster plus PBV, is capable of delivering all six RVs to a maximum range of 5200 nm. The missile employs an inertial guidance system that has an operational CEP of 0.25 nm.

Cost: 36,000,000 USD per missile

SOLD OUT!

SS-19 Mod-2 - Otherwise similar to the Mod-1, this variant carries a single warhead with a yield of between 2.5 and 5 MT. Both of these SS-19 Mods were attributed "hard target kill" capabilities by the West.

Cost: 47,000,000 USD per missile

SOLD OUT!

SS-19 Mod-3 - The upgrades to the missile involved the development of improved engines and modification of the command system. The extent of protection from a nuclear strike at their silos was considerably improved.

Cost: 68,000,000 USD per missile

1) Four of what?
2) Your post count makes me think you're too young to have ICBMs.

Why aren't you selling any 18s? The 50 MT payload is quite nice.

Think of the damage one of these could do. Then think of the damage an R-36UTTh/SS-18 Mod-4 could do. Not nice. Incidentally, what was the warhead count of thoise buggers? I find lots of different results for the Mod-4, including 30 10 MT RVs, 30 1 MT RVs, 10 1 MT Rvs, 10 10 MT RVS, 20 750 KT RVS...

It was believe the soviets fitted them with, I can't remember which, either ten 5 MT heads or five 10 MT heads. I believe five 10 MT heads, but I could be wrong. I read it in Janus' Official Reference of Military Arms 1980-81, I think. I bought it for a friend of mine in Kentucky who's a history buff. I got it in a second hand store, the plastic cover-protector a little ripped, as always happens, for only 8 dollars, and the book must've been at least 4 inches thick discluding the cover. I just wish they had another one.
