State missile The Makeyev Center has completed the R&D work on the creation of the new Liner ballistic missile. The head of the GRC, V. Degtyar, is quoted by the Interfax agency: "The Central Interdepartmental Commission has completed the work on submitting the design documentation. Today, the act of the state commission was prepared, which recommended the missile system with the Liner missile for serial production."
The missile launches for the purpose of testing took place on May 20 and September 29 of last year. In early October 2011, Interfax, citing a source in the General Staff of the Naval Fleet RF, reported that the missile flight test program was completed, and soon the "Liner" will be adopted. This missile will be part of the Russian Navy along with the Sineva R-29MU2.
In February of this year, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, V. Vysotsky, said that the Liner should not be adopted, as this is “an existing missile undergoing modernization”. He said that strategic submarines, which are on alert in the World Ocean, were the first to receive the upgraded missile. But in the future, the Liners will re-equip all the ships of the Kalmar and the Dolphin projects 667BDR.
The “liner” in question is an improved version of the “Blue”. The new missile differs from the base missile with an improved missile defense system and an increased number of warheads. The upgraded missile can carry up to twelve low-power warheads, or up to medium-capacity 4 units, or a combined-type combat load. Due to the planned rearmament of the Liner, the existence of the northwestern group of submarines Dolphin will probably be extended to 2025-2030.
