After deploying the 8K67 and 8K84 ICBMs to ensure strategic parity with the United States, the OKBs began work on the third generation of missiles in response to the American Minuteman‐III equipped with a Multiple Independently targeted Reentry Vehicle (MIRV). Yangel proposed the R‐36M and the MR‐UR‐100. The R‐36M pre‐project was ready in December 1969. It was a two‐stage rocket, 33.65 m high and with a diameter of 3.0 m, with storable propellants of 208‐210 t developed in three versions: heavy warhead of 20 Mt, light warhead of 8 Mt and 10 MIRVs of 400 kt or four of 1 Mt and six of 0.4 Mt. At Baikonur, the Yangel Zone, known as the second Directorate, was closed in 1996. Strategic missiles were converted to launch satellites within the framework of post‐Cold War disarmament. In 2006, Kosmotras wished to have a launch site on Russian territory.
