It’s cousin-the SS-18 Satan was Dnepr in civilian clothes. Both replaced by Sarmat or Sunkar…this Cyclone is Titan II class…also uses hypergolics unless something changed. Ariane 4 was the last hypergolic LV in the Americas.
Radian spaceplane could stage atop SuperHeavy and use this hypergol expertise with Radian now like the old Martin spaceplane. No cryogenics!
