Russian topol M has 5 or 6 false heads. Which should you chose? It is impossible to count the traectory of them.

Not really sure what you are talking about. Could you explain more or post a pictures so that we might understand? False heads?

This is Topol M (SS-25 or SS-27) intercontinental balistic missile

I haven't found any reference on "false heads". Could you explain us what it means??

Sorry small mistake - it is to the topic of national defense system. So false heads: during the flight of the rocket - it devides for 5-6 (or even more) heads, so there are 5-6 independent heads, absolutely identical, but only 1 of them has nuclear head. The heads can even change the speed and direction of flight. If interested - try to search in WEB, I have only "paper" sources.

Nothing about false heads.

True or not would still be a good idea to do that!

I think you are accidently hitting "New Topic" instead of "Post Reply"

Just wanted to make sure you knew because you did the same with the "What hit this tank??" topic.
