R-12 Dvina

R-12 Dvina was a Soviet intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) developed during the Cold War, designed to deliver nuclear warheads. It was part of the Soviet Union's strategic nuclear forces and could carry multiple warheads over thousands of kilometers, providing a powerful deterrent. The missile was launched from land-based silos or mobile platforms, ensuring survivability and rapid deployment. R-12 Dvina played a significant role in Cold War strategic stability, representing the nuclear arms race competition between the USSR and the West. It was eventually phased out and replaced by more advanced missile systems.
