The IKR-387 Mjölnir is a land-based ICBM deployed by the Englean Kaiserreich starting in 1981. This missile was designed to succeed the previous IKR-257 that was in service since 1964. The IKR-387 serves as the primary ICBM of the Kaiserreich, being equipped with 11 re-entry vehicles (each totaling ~400 kilotons in power). A total of 60 vehicles were built over an 11 year production span, and serve in conjunction with the Kaiserliche-Marine's fleet of SLBMs and the Kaiserliche Heer's own vehicle-launched nuclear missiles. The IKR-387 is expected to remain in service until 2030, being succeeded by the planned Zukunft-Rakete in 2027.
