I'm not going to lie to you. This entry, as it was created, is plain ole' ugly. I'll improve it when I get more time, but for now, it'll have to stay ugly. I kinda doubt anyone's gonna see it between now and when I improve it, so no loss... --Oceanhahn 09:26, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I saw it ;) But that's cuz Russia just test-launched one on 12/24. Supposedly, it went 6000KM in 25 minutes and scored a bullseye on it's target. 206.156.242.39 21:43, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Various crackpot websites (http://www.rense.com/general69/tiddosdzdd27makes.htm) make the (as yet unsubstantiated) claim that the Topol-M has a top speed of 10800 miles per hour, which would make it the fastest missile in the world.—Anty 15:51, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

This article does not state warhead yield. Anybody know? --Commking 01:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Enough to wipe out New York City

According to http://www.thebulletin.org/article_nn.php?art_ofn=ma06norris , the Topol-M carries a 550 kiloton warhead. The M1 is unknown. PolarisSLBM 22:41, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
  • I don’t know how reliable the following article is but it says that Topol SS 27 is the fastest missile ever with a speed of over 10,000 miles per hour! http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=4057 By the way, if it is the fastest missile then I take it that no anti-missile system can catch it or hit it, right? Any idea where I can buy a few? Kiumars
  • Wrong. The ability of an anti-missile system to intercept a particular missile is not solely defined by the speed of its targets. The AM interceptor has no need to chaise the target by following it, hence, the speed of the target missile defines mostly the time to response available for the AM system. --jno 07:19, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

However, this missile can not be iuntercepted ,and NOT because of speed, the missile manuevres, hence you do not know where it will be at future points in time or where is it flying, hence you can not target it in general.

Topol M does NOT follow ballistic trajectory.
