“The combat unit of a single-stage ballistic missile is projected with a mass of 480 kg. The warhead can be made by monoblock or cassette scheme. The monoblock scheme uses a high-explosive fragmentation or penetrating high-explosive fragmentation ampule, ”the material says.

The inertial airborne missile control system is equipped with various types of navigation and guidance systems (radar, optical-electronic).

    In appearance, it’s a completely modern system .. And what and how there is with the performance characteristics it is still necessary to look. I have already written more than once in the comments that there is production and specialists .. And to wait when everything falls apart is unpromising. That's just how much they can do, that’s the question.

        “Ukraine is turning into Ruin”, “It's a clunker”, “Piled from plywood”, “pomegranate in a hairy hand” .... Here is a brief overview of user comments. And the video shows a completely modern missile system, which undoubtedly deserves close attention. In addition, Ukrainian GDP is growing at a much faster rate than Russian. So bury this country early. It is not known who will survive whom.

          “Commentators” (adequate) smoothly move into a new stage. They no longer declare the funeral of Yuzhmash, etc., they are now skeptics about bringing to mind and the possibility of mass production. Not only that - when this sample reaches the series, most of them sirony - they say it’s still worse than ours or “with the legacy left by the USSR, they could have done better for a long time ..." A win-win combination! The main thing to forget is that he wrote a year or two ago ...

            Nazarius, in the news
            After the collapse of the USSR, due to the lack of military orders, the plant was forced to look for new market niches. Agricultural machinery was made at PMZ, but the enterprise became famous for the production of Mriya food processors.

              I looked for real figures for Ukraine’s GDP. Here they are:It turns out that Ukraine’s GDP collapsed not in interest, but in dollars twice!! during the reign of the banderofascist junta. The structure of GDP has also become much worse. But the hryvnia fell three times. Therefore, in hryvnias, Ukraine’s GDP didn’t even fall. Jesuit liars propagandists and zombie hatskraynikov. This fall alone is only twice as blown. This is possible only because the West has granted a deferment in external payments until 2019, and Ukraine does not pay in arrears to Russia and China with billions of dollars in debt. But you have to give with interest. The transit of hydrocarbons will also stop, and this is at least 15% of the budget of Ukraine. And the stolen freebie from transit.

                    CORSAR is the same age as CORNET. Well, consider it. They adopted it even under Yushche or Yanuk, and in 2015 they announced mass production. In reality, they are made into small-syrian parties, like in Soviet films, by huge belts and a couple dozen a year on ordinary wooden desks.

Another 7% is not accounted for due to corruption. According to World Bank estimates, gross domestic product is one and a half times more due to the presence of the shadow economy.

              What you post here is unclear. Fact, Ukraine's GDP is + 2,3%, Russia's GDP is 0,2%. Over the past 10 years, Russian GDP collapsed by almost 2%, while all other European countries, or BRICS countries grew by tens of%, and this despite 3 trillion dollars of free oil and gas revenues. Neither money, nor resources, nor any results, investments in the future .. In my opinion, it is dumb for the Russians to laugh at the dill economy, the military-industrial complex and GDP, when they themselves are not a gram better, and sometimes worse.

            And what doesn’t suit you at the funeral of both UMZ and PMZ, it was Pavlograd that produced products that inspired fear. Now, on the topic, in the beginning of the 90s in Pavlograd, the US company’s office stood on a knock-off seems to be Knudsen and Knudsen, and so under the supervision of this company they destroyed equipment manufacturing missiles at PMZ, many clapped their hands happily, this disgrace was broadcast on local TV , I look at laughing about Mriya food processors, they say the factory made combines, began to make rockets, I’m disappointed, not only Mriya rockets and food processors did but also Bytovuha. In general, the main equipment was destroyed. Something is left, that's sculpted from what is left all over Ukraine. There is also a PCP plant, in the storage facilities of this factory, they store these products that they tried to destroy by hydraulic washing, in general, the city lives on a bomb, in the mid-80s one product exploded, it threw me out of bed, lived in the city center, provide what will happen, when fifty will explode. Now about UMZ, there is an official funeral, and not today, but yesterday, not the first year, engineers fly to the United States, a joint project, launch products, I speak about what I know firsthand. We can say that the plant is still alive, it is being guarded, engineers and technicians are working, hard workers with transport workers at the checkpoint. Something like this.

            For reference: the Polonaise has 8 missiles in the TPK on the chassis, and this system, judging by the video, has only 2. And the launch range of the Polonaise is about 200 km.

        lol I don’t know why, but the persistent sensation from the video test of the engine is that this is an old development, if not at all unscrewed from the “point”, of the engine.
        Maybe someone also noticed that the engine is painted belay , and it is precisely in the colors and caller of already serial rockets request Watch the video for 22 seconds - a black tank with fuel, well, that's what you want to say it is Serial, even the marking is clearly serial. That is, they either try to pass off the engine from something else as tests or try to upgrade the "old reserves" for new tasks. In any case, this is not a new development.

            am For me, fascists are fascists, regardless of who they “finally decide” and what kind of blood they themselves are.
            I’m “paying attention” not to the fact of an allegedly new rocket because I have already set forth the arguments in favor of its failure, but to the “noise” that the media raised around this “news”.
            Well, about "keeping the nuclear power plant under the gun": an attack by the ukrovermaht on Russia will result in such a powerful retaliatory strike, moreover, the ringleaders themselves (begging themselves) that leaves them no chance of survival, and these scum are not going to die; but a blow to a nuclear power plant is not even a death sentence for them, for SUCH we’ll not get them out of the ground, we will even tear them out of America and then hang them on aspen in Russia !! am And anyone, even the United States, who has stood between us and these geeks is "buried in the ground." This is not a joke about the "war with Russia" on TV. Of course, I don’t have Facts, but I can feel that there is either an unwritten agreement or an “internal instruction” - to consider sabotage in enterprises leading to technological disasters as a Declaration of War !! negative So with all the frivolous madness of the leaders of the Ukrainian fascists, they are not so crazy that they would strike at Russian nuclear power plants. No.

        Sorry, but for a country that, even in cooperation, made rockets at the World level, making “kasam” is no longer an “achievement”, but a Shame !! negative Actually, it is the level of "kasama" that is supposed. Here it is necessary to rely on several incontrovertible facts: 1) Ukraine did not have the complete Tochka-U technological cycle, which means that even for repetition it needed to find the missing modules and coordinate all this, even for Russia it was difficult; 2) even for the USSR, OTKs were not a cheap pleasure, but now for Ukraine, and even more so when purchasing imported modules, these missiles will really be “golden”. 3) Ukraine has screwed up ALL import military orders, well, absolutely EVERYTHING, even such a simple thing as the armored personnel carriers managed to screw up, so it’s not logical to expect “well then it will be different” mm “.”
        I summarize - a new rocket or fiction, or so much gold that not a single thing will arrive in the APU. Therefore, do not pay attention to the news. Unfortunately, the Nazis from ukrovermaht "perfectly cope" and the "old rusty" MLRS and artillery. negative

      However, the MOU will come to everything ready. That is, there will be a rocket, tests will be performed, there will be a launch and a chassis, there will be production of all this - with the help of KSA. That is, the money will be available and most likely the order will be. And it’s not a fact that at 300km, and not at 500, because there will be no restrictions.

                Here, in order to prevent such “heavily armed kings” - during the collapse of the country, the external strong Countries carry out special operations, as they once did to remove all nuclear weapons from the “Union republics” to Russia. The same thing I think will happen when Ukraine breaks down to the level of regions - the “local kings” will be “strongly advised” to transfer to Russia or to destroy the OTC themselves, because otherwise “unknown planes” (or unknown cruise missiles) will destroy the launchers in the places of deployment. lol

                  In the summer of 2014, one civilian and two servicemen of the Russian Federation were killed - on our territory and did not see any response. In 2016, in Crimea, two of our border guards were killed, and we also supported the retreating DRG with artillery - there was no response from our side either. After the attack on nuclear power plants, ours will deal with the destroyed station and liquidate the consequences, and those who let it go quickly get their hands on it. And again, Russia will be exposed as a sucker - as with a downed Sushka, as with our diplomatic missions in the United States, and as with OI 2018.

      OK let's “beat” you on your own principles - name at least ONE sample of high-tech weapons that Ukraine developed independently and began to produce and sell in the world?
      My example about an armored personnel carrier is like an opoeosis of theft and degradation, because it was not possible to buy real armor steel for Your money good , but theft in Ukraine has reached such proportions and has “gnawed at so many brains” - that’s why even the armored personnel carriers managed to do so badly that they simply fell apart. Remember not the night mentioned "strongholds" - what is the matter with them, eh? lol And of course, “cherry on the cake” - the “hammer” that probably killed more of “its” fascists than civilians in the Donbass belay negative . To "break" the mortar is an extraordinary level.
      True, there is an option that throughout the military-industrial complex of Ukraine there are entirely “Kremlin agents” and they spoil all the equipment, drill holes in mortars, do not weld armored personnel carriers, well, etc .. This would be a wonderful option, but it’s much more likely that it’s - theft and corruption.
      And at the expense of "throwing" the Saudis - Ukrainians even threw the Chinese belay . There was a wonderful contract for the supply of corn to China, so even this ukriya is just a contract, and even with an advance payment (!!!) I knew how to crap and not fulfill it. negative I read the “debriefing” in which “in black in Russian” it was explained - “... even with a crop failure in Ukraine itself, there was a method of purchasing corn in Russia and sending it to China under the guise of its own. Even this option brought profit to Ukraine as a country .. .. "(c) Read this quote again - the resale of Russian corn gave Ukraine profit good , there was a contract for years good . Well, here’s a “wide Ukrinets’s meat”, you couldn’t even grow the corn yourself, just take profits from the resale of another's corn - NO negative . And after that, you want to convince us that they will not “throw” the Saudyuk and in general they will at least fulfill some contracts, especially in the development and production of high-tech products - oh well, I suppose you don’t believe it yourself. lol

        Let's, yes, the same BTR-3 and BTR-4, we ourselves have created from scratch and put in several countries, as well as in our army. There is nothing like this in the Russian Federation, apparently a modern APC apparently cannot create a Russian military-industrial complex. Just do not need Boomerang to remember where he is .. But the counter question is what in modern Russia they created, put into production from scratch and is successful in world markets?

    Maybe it’s turning, maybe it’s going to turn for a hundred years, walking around the stencils they say that it’s not so bad at all, and then in Russia not everything is smeared with honey, the old people barely barely make ends meet!

    The Ukrainian Southern Design Bureau is much more lively than it seems to many. Consider at least an order for 12 Zenit missiles for Sea Launch, here work until 2023. As for OTRK Grom, its development began back in 2005, then it was discontinued in 2009 by decision of the then Minister of Defense of Ukraine Lebedev (now he is successfully working in the Crimea in the field of housing construction), and again resumed in 2013. They say that in terms of their performance characteristics Thunder is quite comparable with Iskander.

      After the collapse of the USSR, due to the lack of military orders, the plant was forced to look for new market niches. Agricultural machinery was made at PMZ, but the enterprise became famous for the production of Mriya food processors.

    Well, citizens of the forum users, history takes on such a shape that it will not work to sit out and get rid of concerns. Chamber 404 prepares offensive weapons with clear and explicit goals. What will be the reaction of Russia? I recently re-read all the publicly available information on similar situations that have occurred in the Middle East. Namely, the following operations aroused my interest:
    1. Destruction of the Iraqi Air Force N-1 by the Iranian Air Force, on which the Tu-16 and Tu-22 long-range bombers were based, in 1981.
    2. "Opera" performed by the Israeli Air Force to destroy the Iraqi nuclear reactor "Osirak" in the same, 1981.
    3. The destruction of the Syrian nuclear reactor in Deir ez-Zor by the Israeli Air Force in 2007.
    4. The Israeli operation to destroy the Iranian-built missile production plant in Syria, carried out last year.

    According to the channel, which refers to the military department, the missile system is currently ready for field testing.

    Do you want to repeat?
    On the afternoon of April 20, 2000, at seven minutes past three, the Tochka-U half-ton rocket was launched during exercises at the Goncharovsky training ground in the Chernihiv region (this is 90 kilometers from Brovary). At first, people were assured that the gas exploded. In fact, military equipment got out of control (the gas generators that controlled the rocket exploded.) And instead of a conditional target, it hit a residential building. The military did not admit their guilt for several days and even indicated a place on the training ground that the rocket allegedly hit. But the investigation showed: a rocket launched from the Goncharovsky training ground hit the building.

A win-win combination! The main thing to forget is that he wrote a year or two ago ...

    It's not about the commentators. Ukraine claims characteristics unattainable for their military-industrial complex (quasi-ballistic trajectory, evasion maneuvers, range up to 500 km). This is called PR. Meanwhile, an engine explosion was recorded on the only original video test of these missiles.

    "Thunder" is not about that: missile system tests in Ukraine ridiculed Web users
    On January 3, Ukrainian media joyfully distributed the video footage of the first field tests of the Thunder-2 operational-tactical missile system (OTRK).

    The Yuzhny Design Bureau, whose specialists are developing this complex, claims that the Thunder-2 will be able to hit single and group stationary targets at ranges from 50 to 280 km.

    It should be noted that in the bravura news on the results of the rocket engine test for Groma-2, a video from the YouTube channel of the National Industrial Portal was used (the first video).

    In this version, music is superimposed on the test video frames, and the duration of the clip is 1 minute 20 seconds.

    However, there is a more complete (1 minute 37 seconds), voiced version of the video, which also has the logo of KB "South" in the upper right corner (second video).

    But the Ukrainian media chose not to “notice” it for an understandable reason: it shows the explosion of the rocket engine during the second test.

    It is specified that the destruction occurred at the final site of the engine due to an off-design pressure increase above the permissible value.
    It is noteworthy that the uniform of the workers participating in the rocket engine tests shows the logo of the Pavlograd Mechanical Plant (PMZ): one of the units of Yuzhmash, which in Soviet times specialized in creating solid-fuel ballistic missiles.

    However, after Ukraine gained its “independence”, the glorious traditions of the enterprise sunk into oblivion, and PMZ switched to the production of Mriya agricultural machines and food processors.

    Network users also pay attention to the mismatch of the seasons: the video begins with summer shots, and engine tests are carried out in winter.

At least until 2022, they will still supply it. Perhaps by that time the issue with Cyclone-4M would somehow settle down (or maybe not, I’m not Nostradamus, I can’t make forecasts).

    They will notice, they may even take for escort. But only the speed parameters of the Shell shell do not correspond to the OTRK speeds. The complex is not intended to intercept ballistic targets of the OTRK shooting range. It can intercept targets traveling at speeds of up to 1 km / s. If the OTRK’s speed is slower, it will intercept, although it’s difficult to say what damage the core of the missile complex will cause to the same missile with an inseparable warhead
