Russia tests long-range missile
By: AFP | December 28, 2011
MOSCOW (AFP) - Russia on Tuesday successfully test fired its long range ballistic missile RS-18 from its Baiknonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan with a new warhead aimed at overcoming Western air defence systems, news agencies said. The RS-18, a warhorse missile known to the West as Stilet (Stileto) that the Russian defence ministry has given a new lease of life, successfully hit its target on the Kamchatka Pensinsula on the Pacific, the reports said. The RIA Novosti news agency said that the RS-18 missile was now carrying a new warhead aimed at overcoming missile defence systems.

Not a big news,,, these missiles were introduced in 80's and their life time has been extended from 32 years to 33 years(1 year).
These missiles can carry 6 warheads at a time and currently these missiles are being used to test modern warheads only.....
Any time in near future these can be phased out..
