MOSCOW, April 9 (RIA Novosti) - A fourth-generation strategic nuclear submarine will be launched during a special ceremony at a shipbuilding yard in northern Russia Sunday, a first deputy prime minister said Monday.
The Yury Dolgoruky, a Borey-class nuclear missile submarine, was built at the Sevmash plant in the northern Arkhangelsk Region. It will be equipped with the Bulava ballistic missile, which is adapted from the Topol-M (SS-27).

Cambodia: A KHMER VIEW OF THE THAI VIEW OF THE KHMER [KH&EN]
WITH the historical description by Kenneth T So in "The Khmer home in Southeast Asia: A Wider View", (Post August 6-19, 1999). I do not think that Mr So is obsessed about the Khmer past, as C Rabour has alleged. Rather, Mr So was provoked by Don Pramudwinai who has asserted that Battambang and Siem Reap were historically part of Thailand or Siam.
Battambang, Siem Reap and Srei Sophorn, (later Serei Sophom, or Sisophon as the Thai pronunciation of it) never belonged to Siam (known as Thailand since 1939).

Topol-M RS-12M2 (SS-27)
Topol-M PC-12M2 for friends or SS-27 for enemies is an ICBM which is rather an ICM, because it isn't really use ballistic way to reach the target. The missile system was tested in 2005 and deployed soon after, now it is a part of Russia's nuclear deterrent. As the first non-ballistic (in the midle phase it lies towards target(s) with randomly generated in and off mode of the engine wich is controlled by an intelligent warhead) strategic missile it is totally immune to any ballistic missile defense, this fact is already an answer to NATO's (USA) agressive BMD policies "against rogue states". Th survivability is increased with shieldings and countermeasures against all currently deployed interceptors.
Sea-based variation (Bulava) is already tested in 2005, and after some unacceptable...
