It was one of the most feared
weapons of the Cold War and was dubbed "Satan" by Nato.
The USSR's SS-18 missiles were over a thousand times more powerful than
the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki with the full arsenal capable
of global destruction.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, many of them ended up in the hands
of Ukraine, who agreed to put them out of service.
Now, the silos that housed them and the Satan missiles serve as both a
tourist attraction and a reminder of the nation's nuclear past.
