The R-29RM Shtil[2] (Russian: Штиль, lit. "Calmness", NATO reporting name SS-N-23 Skiff) was a liquid propellant, submarine-launched ballistic missile in use by the Russian Navy. It had the alternate Russian designations RSM-54 and GRAU index 3M27.[3] It was designed to be launched from the Delta IV submarine, each of which is capable of carrying 16 missiles.


They were replaced with the newer R-29RMU Sineva and later with the enhanced variant R-29RMU2 Layner.

Operation Behemoth


On 6 August 1991 at 21:09 Novomoskovsk, under the command of Captain Second Rank Sergey Yegorov, became the world's only submarine to successfully launch an all-missile salvo, launching 16 R-29RM (RSM-54) ballistic missiles of total weight of almost 700 tons in 244 seconds (operation code name "Behemoth-2"). The first and the last missiles hit their targets; the remaining missiles were intentionally caused to self-destruct in flight.


Previously, the largest number of missiles launched from a submerged SSBN was four Trident II missiles.



Performance


The R-29RM carried four 100 kiloton warheads and had a range of about 8,500 kilometres (5,300 mi).[4]



End of service


The last boat carrying R-29RM, K-51 Verkhoturye, went into refit to be rearmed with the newer R-29RMU Sineva on 23 August 2010.[5]



Space Launch Vehicle


Several R-29RM were retrofitted as Shtill carrier rockets to be launched by Delta-class submarines, the submarines being mobile can send a payload directly into a heliosynchronic orbit, notably used by imaging satellites. Outside the confines of the Russian military, this capability has been used commercially to place three out of four microsatellites into a low earth orbit with one cancellation assigned to the Baikonur Cosmodrome for better financial terms.
