SS-18 "Satan"
This is the largest ICBM in operation right now, and it can either carry a single very large warhead (to greater than 20 MT), or many MIRVs (to nearly a dozen.)
But despite being a weapon, this is first and foremost a badass rocket that is pretty cool. Some day soon, it may simply be used to launch science missions.

Fascinating! It seems to come out of the silo and stop in mid air for a second before shooting off.
What is the red smoke which comes out of the missile when it is out of the ground?
