NI: Compared with Sarmat, the American ICBM is a “reactive toothpick”

102
The Russian Sarmat rocket will be the most advanced in its class, one alone will suffice to destroy, for example, the state of Texas, writes military analyst Michael Peck in his article for The National Interest.

NI: Compared with Sarmat, the American ICBM is a “reactive toothpick”




The analyst decided to compare the Russian ICBM with the American “Minuteman III”, which is on combat duty today

"Stoton" Sarmat "(according to the NATO classification" Satan-2 ") with more than a dozen warheads makes the 39-ton" Minuteman "just a" reactive toothpick "," Peck quotes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

At the same time, the author notes, the United States "entered the new rocket race, starting the development of ground-based strategic deterrence ICBMs (Ground Based Strategic Deterrent - GBSD), which will cost 85 billion dollars only by preliminary calculations.

The Pentagon declares the need for this development, "since the current infrastructure of ballistic weapons was created in the middle of the 1960-s, and" Minuteman III "was first deployed in the 1970-m."

"This is good news for defense contractors. But is it worth spending such money on development? ”, Asks the analyst. He recalls that "the decisive advantage of" Sarmat "is high accuracy." In addition, the Russian rocket has an “innovative missile defense system”.

In passing, Peck notes that the ability to bypass the Russian ICBM missile defense may not be necessary, since The American system "will be able to withstand only the armament of North Korea or Iran." In addition, it has a number of disadvantages that reduce its effectiveness.

Although, given the low probability of using nuclear weapons, "" Minuteman "could easily remain in service with a dozen years."

“New missiles may be needed when old ones become unreliable or too expensive to maintain. Nevertheless, there are more promising technologies in comparison with the mine-based ICBMs — for example, hypersonic weapons that are developed in a number of countries, ”the analyst concluded.

      The Sarmat is a masterpiece of modern missile weapons, and the Minuteman 3 was a good rocket in the 70s of the last century, so the Americans will not create a missile like the Sarmat for a long time.

          Here we need an approach like in American trade or a liberal view of production.
          Liberalists said: - Russians do not need to make cars, tractors, computers, televisions, telephones, etc. After all, all this is better done in other countries.
          So the Americans don’t need to do ICBMs as the Russians do better. hi

          Americans don’t need to develop their MBR, but we have to because we are weak and this is the only club that restrains aggressors. The minuteman is still relevant, we won’t be able to repulse all the missiles, if this is news to someone ... and the Americans are developing about and this is work for the prospect of covering the whole world, they will never give up on this, therefore we are forced to develop our MBR with the ability to crack pro and for us it is unprofitable, but necessary! and the minuteman is still relevant

          Not enough for them (104 NPP reactor in the country)
          "Gore-Chernomyrdin deal"
          By the time the program ended, Russian uranium (weapons-grade) had ensured over the past 15 years the production of 10% of all electricity generated in the USA.

          The USSR gained about 1260 tons. After selling HEU-LEU 500 tons, Russia now has not 1260 tons U235, and 760 + -50 tons

          2. With 2013, the US resumed production of plutonium-238.
          Even the Oak Ridge National Laboratory has made plans for up to 1,5 kilograms of plutonium per year (by irradiating neptunium in a reactor)

          3. The US Department of State published official data in 2013, according to which the States now have 792 deployed intercontinental ballistic missiles, ballistic missiles in submarines and heavy bombers. As indicated in the report, as of March 1 2013, the number of the same weapons of the Russian Federation amounted to 492 units. In total, the United States has at its disposal 1654 nuclear warheads on deployed ICBMs, SLBMs and TB, and Russia has 1480 nuclear warheads on similar carriers.
          4. Where did you divide the USEC (was a structural unit of the US Department of Energy) DOE) with its gas diffusion plant in Paduc?
          which has ceased to "go bankrupt" and is now called Centrus Energy Corp.

          ?

          In the 1998 year, the US Government conducted the HEU-LEU program, transferring it to the civilian sector 174 tons of weapons-grade uranium

          In 2005, the US Department of Energy again announced the transfer of another 40 tonnes of "substandard" highly enriched uranium to natural uranium. For some reason, this amount of uranium turned out to be quite “tainted” by the 236U isotope, which is why a separate “mixing” program - BLEU (Blended Low-Enriched Uranium) was declared.

              Westinghouse Electric Company is the world leader in pressurized water and boiling water reactors, about 20% all world supplies of reactor fuel (TVEL) and controls up to 50% of all commercial power units in the world.

              TVEL annual turnover - $ 35 billion,
              75% of it is divided between three world-class companies - American (or rather US-Japanese already) Westinghouse (31%), French Areva (27%) and Russian TVEL FC (17%)

              At nuclear power plants in the USA, Canada, Japan, etc., etc.


              who supplies assemblies? Do you think TVEL FC?

              Unlike Russian, fuel cells in reactors of American, European and Japanese design are located in a square package.


              Regarding TVS-W, it is still not clear whether the Swedes or kakli messed up during transportation (I nod at the kaklov), although TVS-W is clearly an American "hexagonal" counterfeit from TVEL JSC


              The price of the American fuel assembly is ~ 20% higher than the Russian one. This is also understandable (send LEU to Sweden, collect it, call for money, take it to them, after it has been sent to the Thorp processing plant in the UK).

        from 2007 to 2012 year, Mk.12A warheads were replaced by Mk.21 (from LGM-118A Peacekeeper). QUO is now close to 90m (subject to the use of BB W87)
        Therefore, to ensure a high probability of hitting a protected target with a CVO of 90 m, a charge of 300ct is required, and with 120 m = 475 ct.

              Fly away for 5 minutes, and flies for 15. The understandable layout.
              Nafig nobody will need strategic management centers, there will be nothing to manage.
              No one will have time to evacuate anywhere in 15 minutes. A remarkable example was shown by the incident in the USA, when the curriculum, the Presidential plane, accidentally launched into the NORAD computers, flew with whom he was on board without even waiting for the president. Because in 15 minutes to arrive at the airport, take off and leave the affected area is unrealistic. NORAD staff was preparing for death, they called their relatives because it was unrealistic to run away, and nowhere to go, the nuclear forces were ready for a counter-strike, while the president quietly ran for walks and the country continued to sleep peacefully, because no one even raised the alarm . Fortunately, data came from SPRN and stopped the counter-strike. It will also happen in the event of a real attack.
              Just didn’t give up to anyone. During the chaos and vacuum of power that will arise after a nuclear strike. No one will do up to these stocks.
              PS: If you say that this is just a national glitch of the United States, then I remind you that when the USSR’s SPRN recorded an attack by the United States, our commander did not inform anyone who considered the attack to be false, and sat quietly and watched as the rockets were approaching. It’s good that she really was false. Imagine not?

                1962.09.02 The USSR agrees to provide weapons to Cuba.
                1962.09.04/150.000/XNUMX The President of the United States issued a special statement in which he demanded from Cuba restrictions in strengthening its defense capabilities and threatened to intervene. XNUMX reservists were mobilized.
                1962.09.11 The USSR called on the US government to "show prudence."

                1962.10.14/2/XNUMX Soviet medium-range missiles in Cuba were recorded by U-XNUMX aircraft during reconnaissance aerial photography.
                1962.10.16/XNUMX/XNUMX President John F. Kennedy, after reporting on reconnaissance flights over Cuba, gave the order to prepare for an invasion of Cuba.
                1962.10.18/XNUMX/XNUMX President John F. Kennedy met with A.A. Gromyko.
                1962.10.22/XNUMX/XNUMX The beginning of the "Cuban Missile Crisis": in the United States, President Kennedy, in a radio speech, declares that the USSR has built a missile base in Cuba. He announces the beginning of a naval blockade of the island to prevent the supply of new Soviet missiles to Cuba and calls on Khrushchev to abandon actions that threaten peace on Earth. The United States concentrated fleet formations and strategic aviation in the Caribbean Sea. In Western Europe, American troops were put on alert. US nuclear submarines took up operational positions. The world stood on the threshold of a thermonuclear war.
                1962.10.23/14/00 The President of the United States announced the establishment of a "quarantine" around Cuba from 24:XNUMX on October XNUMXth. The government of the USSR in response stated that it would strike "the most powerful retaliatory strike." The UN Security Council was convened, which discussed the issue of the removal of Soviet missiles from Cuba in conjunction with the refusal to invade the island.
                1962.10.26/27/XNUMX Khrushchev sends a message to US President Kennedy. On October XNUMX, a statement is published announcing the readiness of the USSR to remove weapons from Cuba that the United States considers "offensive" on the condition that the United States removes its missiles from Turkey. Kennedy rejects this condition and declares that all work on missile bases in Cuba must be stopped.

                    10 minutes is enough to record the mass launch of SLBMs according to two independent sources (satellites and over-the-horizon radars), report to the Supreme Commander, receive a code order from him to launch ICBMs and SLBMs, launch them and fly through the first 50 km of the trajectory, thereby leaving the zone barrage of nuclear explosions.

                    The matter is compounded by the fact that in accordance with the current US military doctrine in the war with Russia or China, an escalation nuclear-nuclear conflict is planned, consisting of several phases:
                    - a special period with the maximum number of nuclear submarines, destroyers and aircraft carriers with sea and air-based cruise missiles with conventional warheads on board being advanced to the enemy’s borders;
                    - the first phase of hostilities with attacks by the 3000-4000 of the Kyrgyz Republic against the priority military targets of the enemy, including Radar, air defense missile launcher, air defense missile launcher launcher, command posts, communication centers, airfield infrastructure, naval bases, ships, etc .;
                    - The second phase of hostilities, depending on the reaction of the enemy; in the event of a response by conventional means, launching of conventional missile and bomb strikes by tactical and carrier-based aircraft, in case of a response by tactical nuclear means, the conflict escalates to this level;
                    - The third phase of hostilities includes a massive nuclear missile strike with the help of ICBMs, SLBMs and strategic aviation.

                    The doctrine of escalation of military conflict aims to reduce the risk of a general nuclear war while maintaining the US initiative to start a war by conventional means.

                    Based on the statements of V. Putin, the Russian military doctrine provides for a massive nuclear missile strike with the use of the KR and the OTRK already at the first stage of the conflict. Given the flying time of US cruise missiles, the Russian leadership will have at least an hour to evacuate and decide on a retaliatory strike.

                    Well, then, how will it turn out - will the NATO countries, Japan and South Korea withdraw from the war after the strikes with nuclear "Caliber" and "Iskander" or not, launching their ICBMs and SLBMs.
                    In the latter case, the Russian military leadership and the mobilized strategic nuclear forces will be ready to retaliate within a few minutes long before the enemy missiles arrive.

                    But to balance the potential capabilities of the United States, France and Britain to strike SLBMs at a short distance with a short flight time, Russia still needs to deploy RSD with a range of up to 5400 km of the Pioneer type in order to reduce the reaction time from three hours (Caliber in nuclear warhead ) up to 20 minutes ("Pioneer").

                    At the same time, we will have the technical opportunity to strike the aggressor first (which plans to use cruise missiles in the first phase) by launching its medium-range ballistic missiles second (at the moment when the Kyrgyz Republic will only cross the borders of Russia).

                        Less than 500 km from the Baltic States and Ukraine to Moscow is the distance of short-range missiles not prohibited by the RSD agreement. Therefore, the situation with the minimum flying time to Moscow will not change from the arming of Russian medium-range missiles.

                        There is no military sense in deploying American RMD in the Baltic states and Ukraine:
                        - firstly, the American doctrine provides for a first strike by launching missiles from outside the impact on their carriers (destroyers and aircraft carriers) of Russian short-range missiles (Iskander-M);
                        - secondly, American short-range missiles at launch from the Baltic States and Ukraine will be vulnerable to interception by the Russian S-300, C-400 and C-500 air defense systems both in the active section of the trajectory (close to the territory of Russia) and in the final section (from for relatively low flight speed).

                        In response to the deployment of Russian RSDs in the Volga region (European theater of operations) and Chukotka (North American theater of operations), the Americans will only increase the number of medium-range missiles (which are already deployed on the European theater of operations on destroyers and aircraft carriers), and we should not forget about today's the possibility of using short-range hundreds of SLBMs from the USA, Britain and France from the Atlantic Ocean with a flight time of 15 minutes.

                        So, in terms of our security, nothing has changed since the late 1980s, despite the conclusion of a treaty on the elimination of ground-based IRBMs. It is no accident that V.Putin called the Gorbachev leadership of the USSR "naive" people.

                        So for us, after deploying our own RSDs, including those reaching Los Angeles, the situation will only improve in terms of comparing the chances with the main opponent.

                        It all depends on Donald Trump: if he withdraws US expeditionary forces from Europe, Japan and South Korea - Russian RSDs are not needed; will not deduce - Vladimir Putin is not to blame am

    The two missiles of the adversaries cannot be compared in different eras of military confrontation, without taking into account other systems included in the "nuclear strike system." In the early 60s, neither we nor the Americans had maneuvering warheads, there were no missile defense systems, like today's Russia S-400. At that time, you could put two missiles side by side and say - which is better? And now, not only missiles are involved in a nuclear strike, but also missile defense systems, GLONASS, GPS with their military components, and an orbital group of reconnaissance satellites. Only taking into account all these components can we say which rocket is better - Sarmat or Minuteman-3. So which is better? They said here about a toothpick - but I remembered something about hats flying across the front. Then they threw their hats, and now what? An American toothpick, if it reaches us, so many teeth will fly out and not only ...

      Moreover, they went the other way, a completely new weapon - the railgun. And the fact that NASA is also interested, it is possible that instead of missiles, a warhead will be launched using an electromagnetic gun. Such a launch will be very difficult to detect, and the arrival time to the target is less than that of a missile launch.

    Well, that you have already taken too much.

    Is it necessary to compare it with "Satan"? In fact, "comparable" samples are always compared. We are not comparing the Yak-9 with the MiG-21, are we? So it is here. In comparison, it is worth comparing Minuteman-3 rather with Topol and Topol-M, but not with Satan. Rockets of a completely different class. But in relation to "Topol" I must say "Mingitmen-3" was just relevant both in the 3s and now. Moreover, the modernization that the Americans carried out with the Minuteman-2030 extended its service life until 10. We, however, are intensively writing off the Topol, which was put into service XNUMX years later.

    The US State Department published official data in 2013, according to which the United States currently has 792 deployed intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine ballistic missiles and heavy bombers. As indicated in the report, as of March 1, 2013, the number of the same weapons of the Russian Federation amounted to 492 units. In total, the United States has 1654 nuclear warheads on deployed ICBMs, SLBMs and TB, and Russia has 1480 nuclear warheads on similar carriers.

    There is more recent data. As of September 1, 2016, Russia had 508 units against 641 for the Americans. The number of BBs changed in favor of Russia 1796 for Russia against 1367 for the Americans. But at the same time, before the end of the Treaty, the Americans need to reduce the "extra" 48 carriers (not deployed). We have the number of non-deployed, subject to destruction - 339

    3. Simply, if the missiles flew away, then the KVO to defeat the silos is no longer important.

    it's important
    The attack according to the plan MAO-NF ((Major Attack Option-Nuclear Forces)) will last only 30 minutes:
    -More than 89% of Russian ICBMs will be seriously damaged
    -all 50 Topol garrisons and their bases will be destroyed
    -all three SS-24 ICBM rail launch complexes bases will be destroyed by air explosions along with trains
    -all bases of the Northern and Pacific fleets will turn into radioactive ruins, and all nuclear submarines that will be in ports will become pieces of detonated metal at the bottom of bays
    -more than 60 important airfields will receive crater-covered runways, and all strategic bombers caught at the bases will be seriously damaged
    -All 17 nuclear warhead storage facilities will receive their 136 bins in the form of radiation-emitting holes
    - the entire Russian nuclear weapons development and production complex will fall apart, killing most of the communication specialists across the country in the process will be seriously damaged

    highlighted are achievable only with their quo

    SSPK — one warhead per silo —One anti-mine warhead and double-shot kill
    probabilities (DSPK — two warheads per silo) Two warheads for ground bursts of various US ICBM and SLBM warheads.
    Probability of hitting the target


    The probability of hitting the target using DSPK depending on the height of the blasting (HOB) for W87 / W88

    Severe heavy damage, Moderate-moderate

    As you can see, KVO is very important.
    Otherwise, they would not have changed the NS-20A control system to the new NS-50A control system.

    Inertial control system NS-50A with gyro-stabilized platform AIRS ("Advanced Inertial Reference Sphere")

    and the Meca-type BCVK LC5400 was developed by the Electronics Division of Northrop Corporation (which acquired Rockwell Autonetics). The BTsVK (developed by "Hewlett-Packard") provides flight control in the active phase of the trajectory, at the stage of disengagement of warheads, as well as during combat duty and in preparation for launch. The high quality of the ISU NS-50A instruments, error accounting and the use of new algorithms ensured high firing accuracy. The drift of the ISU NS-50A is less than 1.5 • 10-5 degrees per hour of operation. To create the required temperature regime, the flight control system is cooled by freon. The rocket electronics is based on radiation-resistant RAM-type semiconductor electronics.

    1. So I take the worst case. If the reception does not make sense to wet the silos, then with more time and even more so.
    2.30 minutes, with 5 minutes to start.
    3. All these mass destruction, only with political impotence and the complete surprise of the blow, when all means will stand, and not let go. Nuclear submarines easily shoot from the pier, strategists take off, and so on.
