SS-N-20

The SS-N-20 (Sturgeon) or RSM-52, is a Russian intercontinental, three stage solid propellant ballistic missile consisting of 10 independently targetable multiple re-entry vehicles (MIRV's), each with a 100 kiloton nuclear warhead. Guidance is inertial with stellar reference updating. Range is 8,300 km with accuracy (CEP) of 500 m. The missile weighs 84,000 kg at launch. The SS-N-20 missile was designed by the Makayev Design Bureau.

TK 12

The TK 12 was a Russian Typhoon Class ballistic missile nuclear-powered submarine. The TK 12 was of a multi-hulled design - five inner hulls situated inside a superstructure of the two parallel main hulls. The superstructure was coated with sound-absorbent tiles. There were 19 compartments including a strengthened module which housed the main control room and electronic equipment compartment which was above the main hulls behind the missile launch tubes, under the guard for the periscopes etc. The submarine's design included features to enable it to both travel under ice and for ice-breaking. It had an advanced stern fin with horizontal hydroplane fitted after the screws. The nose horizontal hydroplanes were in the bow section and were retractable into the hull. The retractable systems included two periscopes (one for the commander and one for general use), radio sextant, radar, radio communications, navigation and direction-finder masts. They were housed within the sail guard. The sail and sail guard had a
reinforced rounded cover for ice-breaking. Maximum diving depth was 400 m. Speed was 12 knots when surfaced and 25 knots when submerged. The
TK 12 was capable of spending 120 days at sea. Two releasable escape chambers were located on each side of the sail. The
TK 12 carried 20 RSM-52 (SS-N-20) intercontinental ballistic missiles. The two rows of missile launch tubes were situated in front of the sail between the main hulls. Four 630 mm torpedo tubes and two 533 mm torpedo tubes were fitted with a total of 22 anti-submarine missiles and torpedoes of varying types carried. The torpedo room was in the upper part of the bow between the hulls. The torpedo tubes could also be used to deploy mines. The main propulsion machinery consisted of two nuclear water reactors and two turbogear assemblies comprising steam turbine and gearbox. One reactor and one turbogear assembly were fitted in each main hull. Each nuclear water reactor produced 190 megawatts. These drove two 50,000 hp steam turbines and four 3,200 kW turbogenerators. Two 800 kW diesel generators served as standby propulsion units and were coupled to the shaft line. The two propellers were 7-blade, fixed pitch shrouded. The built-in thrusters on the bow and stern were two telescopic turning screw rudders and were powered by
a 750 kW motor.
