Missile Train in St. Petersburg
All know that missiles can be launched from underground shafts, from mobile trucks that carry missiles or from submarines. But in Russia missiles can be also launched from.. trains!
These are photos of such a missile loaded train standing in St. Petersburg.

AWESOME.
Fifth generation, asymmetric Duma deputat launcher. (Dildo)
This train looks like the one in the old james bond movie….
“Golden Eye”. You beat me to it.
Now lets see the real life example of the Russian girl in the mini-skirt from that movie.
I like the military licence plate
Military license plate? M62 stands for the type of loco.
ah, thanks for the informaton. military licence plates are black if I remember right…
Excellent….. its heading for texas!!!!!
Beautiful
with special wire-cutting feature for easy takeoff from the railroad
Yeah right, because this train runs on electricity
That dildo is too big for me!
But it is just right for Boris.
Hey, don’t abuse my sweatheart
What a waste of money, in any war one of the first things wiped out are main lines of transportations aka. rail tracks
86K kilometers of railroad tracks across 17 000K square kilometers of space. Wipe my ass.
it just used to transport missiles….if the railroad is broken…they launch from the train…
Actually the concept clearly serves tactical purposes partly same as nuke submarines - to be constantly on move in combat situation thus being able to launch before getting hit by enemy air forces/cruise missiles. Same as MX system in U.S. where missiles were carried around in circle railway with dia abt. 30 km from one covered shelter to another so that it was never known (in perfect world, at least) for SU intel and spy satellites where missile is exactly located at given time.
That is like totally awesome!
Probably not only on electricity, but petroleum or vodka too
Its last one train anothers was destroyed. Topol-M new dildo-vibrator for USA
dreadful weapon… All the Russian railroad branch lines do have special dead-end sidings, that are dedicated for launching from these trains…
Imagine: it can’t be spotted from satellite because it is not distinguishable from another trains. It can launch the nuke from each part of the giant country (so it covers the whole world). It is called Scalpel according to NATO classification for it’s incredible accuracy.
There were 3 trains of this kind. Now only one remains unfortunately.
These trains were commisioned out of order by one of the USSR-USA treaties. That’s why you can see it standing at the railroad museum now.
i need to buy one of those and then nuke the school
every train in Russia has one, just for case
For Christ sake, guys! That is the picture of retro trains museum in Saint-Petersburg! I can see it from my office window.
from russia with love
no problem, lets install our rockets in europe
look the next firework…

What is wrong with all you russians ?
Yeee ,lets nuke something , yeee lets beat someone…
normal ways of dealing with others arent usual ja thinkable to you ?
omg, it’s a real life Command and Conquer red alert unit!
I have a query - why was the Bond film missle train in Goldeneye - driven by a steam engine. Are their any recorded examples of the Soviet Union using steam engines for their missle trains ??

hi st .petersburg
hello my name is baka la vada
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggghh
hi my name is baka la vada
Nice! I actually saw a video of these on YouTube and you’re right, Kylex. When the launcher car is closed, it looks like a normal express train. And Johnny, in the James Bond movie Goldeneye, the missile train engine was actually a modified British Railways Class 20, which was a light diesel engine with its cab at the back. By the way, does anyone think that engine looked like Lenin’s nose?
Mobile Minuteman program[10]
Mobile Minuteman
While the silo-based Minuteman was in development, the United States Air Force released details about a rail-based counterpart. On October 12, 1959, details on the system, called the “Mobile Minuteman,” were released to the public. The system used the United States railroad network to help increase the system’s survivability during nuclear attack. A performance test, code named Operation Big Star, was conducted from June 20 to August 27, 1960 at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The United States Air Force then activated the 4062nd Mobile Missile Wing on December 1, 1960. The wing was to have three missile train squadrons, each with ten trains and each train carrying three missiles (30 missiles per squadron). Lack of support by the Kennedy Administration killed the Mobile Minuteman Program; on December 1, 1961, the Department of Defense deleted the three mobile missile squadrons from its budget. The USAF officially deactivated the 4062nd Mobile Missile Wing on February 20, 1962.
The idea for a rail-based missile system was kept alive through the LGM-118A Peacekeeper Rail Garrison and the Soviet Union’s SS-24 Scalpel rail-based ICBM.
[...] from Russia. Just truck on over near the boarder and let this bad boy fly! Looks like something out of James Bond. Tags: funny videos, james bond, missile train [...]
I hope you will sell a few trains to Serbia.
In 1999 NATO hit 5 Serbian tanks in 78 days, and they can never hit anyting in Russia on that distance, they are useless. NATO has lots of muscles, but no brains.
US version of this is the Rail Garrison. See here
