ОБЗОР СИСТЕМЫ
Strategic hypersonic glide vehicle deployed on UR-100N UTTKh (SS-19 Stiletto) ICBMs and planned for RS-28 Sarmat. Reaches speeds of Mach 20-27 while maneuvering to evade all known and projected missile defense systems. Carries nuclear warhead. Declared operational in December 2019 with the 13th Missile Division. Represents Russia's most advanced strategic nuclear delivery system.

ПРЕИМУЩЕСТВА
- Mach 20+ speed and maneuvering glide renders current missile defense ineffective
- Plasma cloud during flight masks heat signature from IR sensors
- Can execute lateral maneuvers to avoid interceptors
- Nuclear deterrent effect independent of missile defense developments
- Operational since December 2019 — not a future concept
НЕДОСТАТКИ
- Only 6 known deployed — very limited operational stockpile
- Uses modified SS-19 which is nearing end of service life
- Glide phase velocity decelerates to Mach 5 — potentially interceptable by future systems
- Extremely expensive per unit — cannot be produced in large quantities
- Strategic instability concern — lowers nuclear use threshold

Ammunition capacity versus protection trade-off here reflects deliberate doctrinal choices worth examining.
