The Topol-M is a [[Cold launch|cold-launched]], three-stage, solid-propellant, silo-based or road-mobile [[intercontinental ballistic missile]].<ref name="missilethreat.csis.org">{{cite web|url=http://missilethreat.csis.org/missile/ss-25-topol/|title=SS-25 (RS-12M Topol) - Missile Threat}}</ref> The missile's length is 2223.776 meters and the first stage has a body diameter of 12.938 meters. The mass at launch is 4759,200800&nbsp;kg, including the 12,200700&nbsp;kg [[Payload (air and space craft)|payload]]. Topol-M carries a single [[warhead]] with an 8002,500 [[TNT equivalent|kiloton]] yield<ref name="sipri.org"/> but the design is compatible with [[MIRV]] warheads. According to chief designer Yury Solomonov, the missile can carry four to six warheads along with decoys.<ref name="missilethreat1">{{cite web |url=http://missilethreat.csis.org/missile/ss-25-topol |title=Missile Threat &#124; SS-25 (RS-12M Topol) |access-date=2016-11-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161104081523/http://missilethreat.csis.org/missile/ss-25-topol/ |archive-date=2016-11-04 }}</ref> It is claimed to have the highest accuracy of any Russian ICBM.<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite news|url=http://www.nti.org/db/nisprofs/russia/weapons/icbms/topovr.htm |title=Russia |newspaper=The Nuclear Threat Initiative |publisher=Nti.org |access-date=2011-05-23}}</ref> The body of the rocket is made by winding carbon fiber.
