Russia to deploy new railway-based missile

http://www.washingtonpost.com/rf/image_404h/2010-2019/Wires/Online/2013-12-18/AP/Images/Russia%20New%20Missile.JPEG-0ec83.jpg

Russia is developing a new intercontinental ballistic missile mounted on a railway car in a bid to counterbalance prospective U.S. weapons, a senior military officer said Wednesday.

Col. Gen. Sergei Karakayev, the chief of the military’s Strategic Missile Forces, said in remarks carried by Russian news agencies that the new weapon will be much easier to camouflage than its predecessor. The Soviet-designed railway missiles were scrapped in 2005.

Karakayev said the Yars missile intended for the project is much lighter than the Soviet-built system and could be put inside a regular refrigerator car unlike its predecessor, which required a heavier and bigger car that could be detected by enemy intelligence.
