Russian general confirms new missile 

A senior Russian general has confirmed Moscow's development of a
low-trajectory intercontinental ballistic missile designed to thwart
U.S. missile defenses.
 
In a speech published last week Col. Gen. Varfolomey Korobushin, first
vice president of the Academy of Military Sciences, said Russia needs
to upgrade its missile warning capabilities and develop
multiple-warhead missiles with depressed trajectories to maintain a
credible nuclear deterrent force. 

Russia needed missile "long-duration flat trajectories that are
variable." U.S. intelligence officials have said Moscow has conducted
several flight tests in the past two years on such weapons, which may
involve use of high-altitude scramjet technology. 

Korobushin also said Russian strategic forces need better sea-based
nuclear-armed cruise missiles with warheads that are protected against
electronic warfare disruption techniques.
