Hey, "Barguzin", move the shaft, "Well done" to swim nearby. About the new systems put in a word
He recalled his former team. Your fellows. They were almost not visible on the deck, but the neighbors, even the most aggressive, knew that if anything happened ... The team ... They left. Unwillingly. At the behest of those who are forbidden to have a boat on the lake. And for the new boat they became heavy. In the literal sense. And here he is alone.
On the bow of the boat, the eared profile of the Sarmat is visible. For the present a puppy. But the puppy, which, judging by the habits, will be a worthy successor to the work of the old Satan. The one that was a thunderstorm of local dogs for many years. Sarmat two times less old husky. But now he is ready to meet even a bear ... And it takes less space on a boat.
The boat confidently went straight course. In spite of the fact that the Barguzin had long ago fed the air with smells of Dahurian steppes. Glorious wind this barguzin. And most importantly, passing. Eastern wind. Summer gentle in nature, although strong. But in the fall evil and mighty ... Assistant ... "
This is an excerpt from a future story or story, which I may write. What the hell is not joking when God sleeps. And I began an article with a “passage” simply because it’s about the same characters mentioned above. True, somewhat different aspect.
Recently, RIA "News»Published a statement by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, directly related to precisely these" characters ". Rogozin, in particular, spoke about the "Baikal wind" - "Barguzin". About how work is going on to create this system.
Many people remember the Soviet Molodets railway systems that were decommissioned in the 90s due to the strategic offensive arms reduction treaty (START-2). Remember the only rule of the "club of nuclear powers" that has never been broken? Never by anyone? “Well done” (RT-23) owed their appearance to this very rule.
"Never allow an adversary to destroy your nuclear weapon! "The only way to win a nuclear war is simple. With a sudden blow, take down the enemy’s arsenals, its bases and command and control points. Do not give the enemy a chance to strike back!
There are two ways that, although ghostly, but guarantee a retaliatory strike. The easiest way to have at times more nuclear weapons. So that the enemy simply could not destroy everything. But an ICBM is a piece-product. The cost is huge. Yes, and operate such a product is expensive. In addition, to hide the ICBM from the "eyes" of the enemy is quite problematic. The mines in which ICBMs are on duty are in themselves the most complex structures. And already at the construction stage they become the object of close attention of the enemy. So, initially vulnerable.
The second path is also known to all. Moving the ICBMs in stealth mode. So that the enemy could not determine the location of the rocket at this particular moment. The most famous example of the application of such a principle of storage - underwater bomber. But even they are vulnerable because every boat is watched by dozens, and maybe thousands of “eyes.” Watching everywhere and always.
The Americans went a simpler way. They began to simply move the ICBMs from the site to the site by trains (Racetrack). In those moments when we could not see the loading, the missiles were transported to another place. But such transportation is expensive and unsafe. Even just in terms of settings and minor problems that inevitably arise after the "take-down".
The Chinese went the other way. There is no need to wait for no satellites overhead. Missiles are moving ... through tunnels. All launchers are included in a whole network of such tunnels and the enemy does not know in which mine specifically the missile today ...
And only the USSR created a whole fleet of ghost trains. In the development of the American and Chinese ideas. Why additional installation costs after moving? Why the cost of setup and configuration? You just need to use the train as PU. The idea is simple. But to bring it to life is difficult.
At the beginning of the 80-x began the development of such trains. And by 1987, the task was completed. 12 running trains began to move across the expanses of the USSR. Each train had "refrigerated wagons" in the usual version. Three "refrigerator" were actually launchers. Near "car generator". Command post of several cars and tanks with fuel and lubricants. Regular freight train, which set at each station every day.
I want to tell about the rocket, which was used by the "Well done". MBR RT-23UTTH (SS-24 Scalpel). Medium-range solid-fuel ICBM. It started when the engine was turned off by injecting special gases, had three stages, the range 10-11 thousand km. Equipped with a separable warhead with ten individual-guided combat units (MIRV-IN). The power of each unit is 550 kilotons. The length of the 23,4 meter. The width of the 2,41 meter, the weight of the 104,5 ton. Existed in two versions: for stationary and mobile basing. Main developer: Dnipropetrovsk Yuzhnoye design bureau. Total created 92 rocket. 36 installed in the mines in Ukraine and 56 in Russia (missiles of both versions).
Railroad specialists immediately saw the "weak" side of the combat railway missile complex (BZHRK). Heavy So, it is limited on movement on the railways. Limited to those roads that are able to "sustain" such a monster. Yes, and the classic layout of cars did not provide adequate security. Instead of 4 wheelsets on such "refrigerators" stood 8! A "train" had to have as many as three diesel locomotives M-62 ...
Then I will write what was said in the report of the American CIA (Washington Tames from 22.10.2015) about our BRCMs. During operation (from 1987 to 1994) satellite routes and field agents installed train routes (strictly defined sections of the track), places of possible launching of ICBMs (up to 200 pieces for each BRCW), and also places of parking in the interval between combat duties (autonomous operation of the complex 28 days). BRZhK united in three missile divisions (10-I guards. RD (Kostroma region), 52-I RD (Perm region), 36-I RD (Krasnoyarsk region)). In each division there are three rocket regiments (BRZHK is indeed a rocket regiment according to the staffing table).
To argue about what was, but lost irretrievably, stupid. Well done is dead. But the idea is good. And you can not refuse it. Especially when there was an opportunity to really eliminate the shortcomings of the former complex. Rocket "Yars" can significantly reduce the weight of the "car".
But first, about the origins of the return of MFA. In the US, Prompt Global Strike (Fast Global Strike) has been developed for a long time, allowing a massive disarming strike with conventional (non-nuclear) weapons on any country within 1 hours, which means to achieve the effectiveness of a nuclear strike with the help of ICBMs and, possibly, to immediately deny the enemy’s ability make a counterattack. The Russian government did not like the deployment of NATO missile defense system in Europe. Mobile systems are the answer to this program of Americans.
Dmitry Rogozin announced the possibility of adopting the Barguzins by the 2025 year. With an expected lifespan of up to 2050 of the year ... Let's see if these promises are fulfilled?
The Barguzins are equipped with solid-fuel ICBM RS-24 Yars with a range of 11 thousand 500 km capable of carrying up to 4 RCM with a power of 150-250 kilotons. The rocket has 20 meters in length, 2 m in diameter and weighs 49,6 tons, that is, much less than “well done”. This means that trains intended for their transportation do not exert such pressure on the railway track and do not require its strengthening, and also allow up to 6 missiles to be placed in the same train instead of the previous three. Last year in Plesetsk passed throw tests of these missiles. Flight tests are scheduled for 2019 year. About how will run "Yarsy", is not reported.
By the way, the infrastructure that was once created for the Molodtsov has been preserved and needs some repair. So you can use it. "Light rocket", as I wrote above, as well as new security systems significantly increase the "invisibility" of the complex. Now there are almost no restrictions on routes.
The only problem, in terms of stealth, are locomotives. While they are not. So, again, three locomotives as a sign of BRZHK ... Again, according to my information, recently experienced something powerful for the railways. Intelligence OBS, so to speak ... From the series "people say" ...
In general, the Barguzins, according to some of our and Western experts, may already be ready for the 2020-21. It all depends on funding and industry opportunities. So, in terms of Rogozin, even a little bit “tightens”.
But readers are probably waiting for a story about the puppy that sits on the bow of the boat of the hero of my unwritten story. About Sarmat. Will the replacement of Satan really grow out of him?
Dmitry Rogozin said that the Russian industry is ready to begin production of these missiles in the event that ICBMs are included in the state armaments program before 2025. It is Sarmat (PC-28) that should completely replace the old PC-20 and their versions.
I will not bore the reader of TTK rocket. Just because they are classified and the true parameters are known only by a strictly limited circle of people. Weight - 100 tons ("Voevoda" - 210 tons). Range to 16000 km. It is possible to deliver warheads on "unconventional" routes (including through the South Pole!). It will be able to install on the rocket a high-precision hypersonic glider "U-71", capable of breaking through any air defense. According to information from some of our media, tests of the Sarmats are scheduled for the 4 quarter of this year. Now three missiles without warheads are being tested on the stands in Krasnoyarsk ... The Plesetsk cosmodrome is being prepared.
It is much more interesting to read the Western media about this wonderful rocket. A feeling of patriotism and pride in Russia to experience once again. I will present some points of Western military analytics. This is what Malcolm Davis writes.
"The Russian media recently announced that the RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental missile will be able to overcome even the most effective US missile defense systems. But how right are they? Russia claims that this heavy ICBM created as part of the modernization of strategic nuclear forces can destroy territory "the size of Kansas or France". "
"... The United States has effective space-based early warning systems that capture missile launches. The Russians cannot do a sudden strike by destroying American missiles on the ground and decapitating political leadership. In any case, the United States always has a sufficient number of submarines at sea boats with ballistic missiles that can deal a devastating retaliation. "
If someone does not understand, the Americans are in a panic. The nuclear triad is almost crumbling. With the advent of Sarmatian, mine-based rockets are turning into an excellent target. And all hope only on mobile PU. And in the American version it is primarily the submarine. So, the enormous costs of developing analogues to our Barguzin. So, the huge costs of building the required number of submarines of missile carriers ... And for Americans, additional expenses are like a knife in the liver ...
The committee of the famous John McCain has long been talking about the need to change the very concept of "nuclear triad". The need to completely abandon the mines for the ICBM. Even US President Dunald Trump was forced to touch on this topic in his own way. Tweet The US must "substantially strengthen and expand its nuclear potential."
Back to Malcolm Davis. There is another interesting thought.
“... it’s very strange that the Russians are developing heavy ICBMs to overcome almost non-existent missile defense systems. This suggests that they don’t have clear rationales for deploying such weapons. As my colleague Rod Lyon noted, the rocket creates a destabilization dynamic that will force the Russians in a crisis situation to strike first. "
Here is such a puppy growing up today on the boat of the hero of my future story. And grow up. If it is included in the armament program. Soon grow up.
But on the whole we are moving ... Moving fast. Whatever may be said, and our, and not our experts and analysts. And moving to where it should be. And we force to speak with ourselves respectfully. Potential "partners" have not forgotten the feat of the Soviet people in the first period of the Great Patriotic War. When the plants that were exported to the east of the country, began to produce products through 2-3 of the month. At the same time, plants were often exported to the open field. In peacetime, such a move would have lasted 2-3 of the year ...
Sarmat puppy grows up in peacetime. Because not in a hurry to say goodbye to childhood. But ... Maybe you should talk in order not to rush him into becoming an adult? Maybe worth hearing each other?
