The Bulava is a modified (for submarine launch) version of the Topol-M. Russia is also spending a lot of money to refurbish, and extend the service like of, its older (SS-18 and SS-19) missiles. Currently, Russia has 927 ICBMs and SLBMs, carrying 4,279 warheads. The United States has 1,255 missiles and 5,966 warheads.
