The RS-24 Yars also known as RT-24 Yars (NATO reporting name: SS-27 Mod 2[4]) is a Russian MIRV-equipped, thermonuclear intercontinental ballistic missile first tested on May 29, 2007 after a secret military R&D project, to replace the older R-36 and UR-100N that have been in use for nearly 50 years.[5][6] RS-24 is a missile that is heavier than the current Topol-M (which can carry up to 10 independently targetable warheads).[7] The 2007 tests were publicized as a response to the missile shield that the United States were planning to deploy in Europe.[8][9] RS-24 has been deployed operationally since 2010.

Testing[edit]
Asserted by the Russian government as being designed to defeat present and potential anti-missile systems,[10][11] the ICBM was first tested by a launch from a mobile launcher at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northwestern Russia at 11:20 GMT, May 29, 2007 and its test warheads landed on target about 5,750 km (3,573 mi) away at the Kura Test Range in Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula.[12][13][14]
The second launch from Plesetsk to the Kura Test Range was conducted on December 25, 2007 at 13:10 GMT. It successfully reached its destination. The third successful launch from the Plesetsk space center in northwest Russia was conducted on November 26, 2008 at 13:20 GMT. The missile's multiple re-entry vehicles successfully landed on targets on the Kura testing range.[15][16]
Neither the development nor deployment of RS-24 is likely to be threatened by the enforcement of the New START treaty.[17] It was again tested on 24 December 2013 from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northwest Russia.[18]
On April 2014, Moscow's Strategic Missile Forces test-fired the RS-24 Yars equipped with re-entry warhead from Plesetsk, 800 km northeast of Moscow.
The launch took place at about 10:40am local time.[citation needed]
Deployment[edit]
In June 2008 the chief designer of the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology, Yuri Solomonov, announced that the RS-24 is an enhanced, MIRVed development of the Topol-M missile that would finish all testing in 2008 and most likely be deployed in 2009.[19] According to General Nikolai Solovtsov, the commander of the Strategic Rocket Forces (SRF), the first RS-24 missiles will be deployed in Teykovo in 2009.[20]
On March 17, 2009 General Solovtsov announced that the first regiment of RS-24 ICBMs will be put into service in December 2009 when START-1 is set to expire.[21] He later repeated that statement on May 7.[22] According to the Russian rocket forces the first six RS-24 missiles will be mobile.[23]
Further on October 10, 2009, on ITAR-TASS, General Andrei Shvaichenko, the new SRF commander, confirmed the December 2009 deployment of the RS-24 which will support the existing Topol-M (RS-12М2) missile complex.[24]
Testing for the new-generation ICBM was completed in mid-July 2010, and the first missiles were deployed shortly after on July 19.[25]
Russia fully deployed the first Yars regiment consisting of three battalions in August 2011, and put two battalions of the second regiment on combat duty on December 27, 2011. The deployment of the third battalion of the second regiment completed the rearming of the Teikovo division with Yars systems. The two regiments consist of a total of 18 missile systems and several mobile command posts. Two more missile divisions will start receiving the Yars systems in 2013.[29]
