So if all that is true, then the answer would be: He could probably be tied up at the dock in Sevastapol, the US would react by firing a load back at Russia and then bend over and kiss its ass goodbye, because stuff like the Patriot system wouldn't be able to intercept it, and depending on whether they had 30, or 60 minutes, they would probably choose between watching an episode of the Simpsons, or maybe Star Trek.

bulava has been in testing for about 3 years and in production 11 months as there have been so many tests of them lately, due to SALT II they are limited to 10 warheads but reality is like all russian missiles and american they have a far greater capibility, trident D5 can have upto 14 warheads and the SS-N-20 also 14.
