    The first missile was launched was from the Plesetsk space center in the Arkhangelsk Region towards the Kura training ground in Kamchatka. It was an RS-12M Topol (NATO reporting name SS-25 Sickle), a strategic solid-propellant single-warhead missile.

    The second, R-29P Sineva missile (SS-N-18 Stingray), - from the submerged strategic missile cruiser, registration number K-433 (Project 667BDR, Kalmar Class – NATO reporting name Delta III).

    Also two strategic bombers, Tu-160 and Tu-95MS, taking off from the Engels airfield outside Saratov, made long-range flights to Vorkuta in the Arctic and, after 15 hours of flying over featureless terrain, fired four missiles at their designated targets on the Pemboi range. By all appearances, these were Kh-555 missiles.

    Fri May 27, 2016 - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday warned Romania and Poland they could find themselves in the sights of Russian rockets because they are hosting elements of a U.S. missile shield that Moscow considers a threat to its security.

    they can keep using that excuse over and over again but
    if it wasnt directed to russia then they should have placed the shield in italy or something like that instead
