V2 (V2 Nuclear Warhead)
The Belkan Federation created V2 as a MIRV during the Cold War.[1] Project Pendragon, overseen by Anton Kupchenko, produced V2 as its final achievement at the South Belka Munitions Factory.[1] Two operational V2 units are recorded: one met its end at Avalon Dam in 1995, the other above Oured Bay in 2010.[1]

Description
The initial blueprints indicated the V2 would carry eight reentry vehicles: two with W87 warheads and six dummies.[2] W87 thermonuclear warheads were carried by each V2, capable of annihilating half the major cities in a country comparable to Yuktobania or Osea.[2] Three steps comprised the launch sequence at the Avalon Dam V2 site: oxygen valve opening, turbopump activation, and gyroscope stabilizer configuration.[2] Launch orders for the Avalon V2 could originate from the ADFX-02 Morgan, and a fail-deadly mechanism would detonate the warhead if contact with the Morgan ceased.[2]
Belkan War
The first V2 was conceived in 1985 and a fully-functional missile was hidden in silos beneath Avalon Dam reservoir by 1988.[3] Larry Foulke remotely launched the V2 from the ADFX-02 Morgan, but after Cipher shot down the Morgan, the missile self-destructed harmlessly.[3]
Circum-Pacific War
A second V2 was developed by Belka and used in 2010 during the Circum-Pacific War, loaded onto the SOLG via a mass driver.[4]
