The projected road-mobile RT-23 system was named "Celina-2" and received the industrial index 15P162.[3] The first of two prototypes was assembled at MAZ in March 1985. The chassis had to be capable of transporting an RT-23 missile with a launch weight of 104.5 tons, a length of 22.6 m and a diameter of 2.4 m in a launch tube, and the launch support equipment. The RT-23 was deployed as both a silo-based and a rail-mobile missile, but the road-mobile version was cancelled. At least one of the prototypes seems to have been used after the collapse of the USSR for transportation of bridge parts and ships.[4] Their fate is unclear. The split chassis can be seen on Google Maps images in 2020,[5] which appears to show the location of the picture on the right dated 2019. A complete chassis appears on Google Maps near the location of the previously referenced image in 2024.[6] An image posted on Google Maps at the Minsk Automobile Plant in 2016 shows a fully assembled chassis sitting in the parking lot.[7] It is unclear if this is the same chassis as the one shown in the picture on the right. The length of the vehicle is 28.1 m; the width 4.1 m and height 4.4 m. Two 1250 hp [Klimov](/source/Klimov) GTD-1250TFM [gas turbine](/source/Gas_turbine) engines (from the [T-80](/source/T-80) tank)[8] power an [electric generator](/source/Electric_generator) that sends power via [turbine-electric transmission](/source/Turbine-electric_transmission) to 30 kW electric [traction motors](/source/Traction_motor) located at each one of the 24 wheels.[9][2][1][10][4] Independent [hydropneumatic suspension](/source/Hydropneumatic_suspension) is used for each wheel.[11] ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-globalsecurity1_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-globalsecurity1_1-1) John Pike.
