"Thunder-2" mixed with "Dongfans". Where do the legs of the Ukrainian OTBR grow and is it too early if we laugh?

89


In early December 2017, the general director of the Ukrainian state-owned enterprise NPO Pavlograd Chemical Plant Leonid Shiman made a rather unexpected and contradictory statement about entering the Thunder-2 operational tactical missile system into the final phase, which even then created a real “dump” in Runet »From the comments left by both opponents and supporters of the criminal Kiev regime. The first ones traditionally (in the standard marasmic form) defended the swift adoption of the “Thunder” into service with the Ukrainian formations with the possibility of “shelling of the Central Russia from the positions in the Sumy region”. The latter, as standard, without particularly thinking about the details of what is happening, began to make fun of the project, emphasizing the lack of experience, capabilities and financial resources of the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau enterprises and NPO Pavlograd Chemical Plant enterprises under their control. An even bigger commotion in the network began after placing video demonstration bench tests of prototypes of accelerating stages with solid-propellant rocket engines, one of which ended with an explosion and the demolition of the demonstrator at the final stage of burning a solid fuel charge due to an unforeseen pressure jump above the allowable limit.



During the period from the publication of the project’s existence (2013 year) to the beginning of bench tests (the end of 2017 year), the program has acquired many useless myths that often distract us from the threats that may arise after the first OTRK has acquired operational combat readiness. What do we know about this project? It can be said for sure that it is a conceptual analogue of the early draft of the operational and tactical missile complex Borysfen, which was created within the walls of the Dnepropetrovsk Yuzhnoye Design Bureau in 1994, and after a few years had to replace the outdated Elbrus 9К72 complexes. "And 9K79-1" Point-U ". It was planned to equip the prospective operational-tactical ballistic missile Borysfen (OTB) with a guidance system with a new element base.

It was supposed to include not just a more advanced command-gyro device with a fiber-optic or ring laser gyroscopes, but a gyroscopic inertial measurement module + a more advanced optical-electronic correlation unit-GOS with a possible option in the form of a GPS navigation module that would provide rocket KVO about 15 - 20 m. According to the plan of specialists of Yuzhnoye Design Bureau, the Borisfen rocket in speed of the march flight was significantly ahead of the Elbrus OTBR and the OTBR 8М14 -9 komplesa "Tochka-U" to improve the capacity to overcome the enemy's missile defense. It is obvious that the Ukrainians made an alignment on the high-speed operational-tactical ballistic missile 79М1 of the Oka complex, the detachable warhead of which turned into 9 - 714 - a degree dive at a speed of about 80 km / h on the approach section of the trajectory. This was also confirmed by plans to give Borisfen a range of 90 km. Nevertheless, against the backdrop of the difficult economic situation of the middle - the end of 10500-s, the project, to our happiness, remained at the level of sketches. Otherwise, at the beginning of the escalation of the Donbass in 500, when the militia did not have the proper air defense systems and was not familiar with the operation of these weapons at all, in the hands of Kiev would be completely "tested" at the landfills tactical missile system capable of more long distances to hit the peaceful cities of LDNR and advanced units of the Armed Forces of Novorossia.

However, the Ukrainian militarized formations and without a new complex for more than three years have created intolerable living conditions for the peaceful Russian population of the Lugansk and Donetsk people's republics using barreled and rocket artillery, as well as the Tochka-U OTRK. Fortunately, a certain amount of Tor-M1 and other air defense systems capable of intercepting “Points”, moving at speeds from 600 to 800 m / s, appeared on the NM LDNR units. However, this does not completely eliminate the problems of the possible adoption of the "Thunder-2". In 2009, the draft of the finalized OTRK Borysfen reappeared in the list of promising defense programs “Square”, but already under the name Sapsan. The product was supposed to be equipped with a promising guidance system based on miniature solid-state MEMS-semiconductor gyroscopes (possibly in staff ADXRS150 (300), as well as accelerometer ADXL330, as was done on the first Iskands. ” during 4 years (until 2013), while the then Minister of Defense, the regional Pavel Lebedev, did not announce the closure of an ambitious project, which the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau and the Southern Machine-Building Plant were working on. At the same time, problems with The financing of Sapsan started back in 2010 year.

As for the “Thunder-2”, the information about the start of development appeared on 1 September 2016 of the year on the Ukrainian resource depo.ua with reference to “Design Bureau“ Yuzhnoye ”and“ Pavlograd Chemical Plant ”. Moreover, it became known that the enterprise developers secured financial support for the Persian regional superpower - Saudi Arabia (the acceleration of the design pace is due to the interest of Riyadh against the background of failed contracts for the purchase of Russian “Iskander-M” and American “ATACMS”) This radically changes the situation. The Saudis who invested more than 40 million into the project will surely check that the new product will become operationally ready as soon as possible. And the opinion of some commentators and “experts” is very erroneous that with 64-year experience in designing various types of medium-range ballistic missiles, ICBMs and launch vehicles, the former OKB-586 (now Yuzhnoye Design Bureau) will stretch the design of the “Thunder-2” for a whole decade; Do not forget that the project is supervised by Riyadh. Now about another interesting detail regarding the origin of the complex "Thunder-2".

We all know that the Ministry of Defense and aviation Saudi Arabia has an approximately 30 year old history cooperation with Chinese research institutes and state aerospace companies. So, back in 88, the Royal Saudi Strategic Missile Forces, in secret from the US, purchased from the Celestial Empire more than 50 medium-range ballistic missiles DF-3A in peak of the Israeli lobby in the US Congress, because of which Washington refused to allow Riyadh to acquire E-3A Sentry long-range radar detection and control aircraft. Later, in the middle of 2000, a scandal broke out about the acquisition by Saudi Arabia of even more advanced MRFM DF-21 with the permission of the White House, which was partially described in the book “Patriot Lost” by American analyst and naval engineer Jonathan Scherk. At the present stage, this cooperation is expressed in the purchase of 300 advanced long-range attack and reconnaissance UAVs “Pterodactyl-II” (“Wing Loong-II”) worth about 10 billion dollars. In other words, Riyadh may well acquire from Beijing also documentation on other types of weapons, besides those that possess unique constructive and radio-electronic elements using critical technologies.

Now let's turn our gaze to the 5-based mobile all-terrain launcher developed by KrAZ or the Design Bureau for them. Morozova (GP KMBM). At its base, we see a rather bulky paired launcher with heavy transport-launch containers ~ 8,5-9 m long and about 1,2-1,5 m wide. Also, on the provided video, it can be approximately calculated that the diameter of the Thunder-2 OTBR building in the area the starting engine ranges from 0,85 to 1 m. We can see almost identical (by design) paired PU in the Chinese tactical complex M20 (the version for the PLA - DF-12), with the only difference that in the Chinese complex 4- host chassis. What is even more remarkable, the mass of the Thunder-2 warheads, indicated by the Ukrainian developer, fully coincides with the weight of the Chinese M20 combat equipment (kg 480). The only loophole traced here is where the ideas of the Thunder-2 design, in which the documentation on the OTBR M20 (DF-12) acted, were taken into the hands of the Independent Square, and the representatives of the special services and the Ministry of Defense of Saudi Arabia acted as the main link in this action. It is also possible that Beijing transferred the Yuzhnoye Design Office to the DF-12 production technology in exchange for the provision of any Soviet critical technology that did not fall into the hands of Chinese specialists. There can be a lot of tangles here, but one thing is clear: for the speedy adoption of the “Thunder-2”, huge efforts are being made, and this is a very bad sign!

Judging by the dimensions, the operational-tactical ballistic missile of the “Thunder-2” complex can get a range from 350 to 600 km, which makes it possible to deliver powerful blows to the Luhansk and Donetsk people's republics from the central regions of the Square. And as an effective protection, neither the Torah-M1 nor the Pantsiri-С1 will pass here, since the speed of the flight of the Thunder-2 in the final part of the trajectory will be from 7 to 9M (like in Oki), therefore for protection will require anti-missile systems such as C-300PM1, C-300B4 or Buk-M3, which will need to be transferred to the Donbass urgently. Today, the thoughtless ridicule of the next Ukrainian project should be thrown aside and it is good to think about countermeasures if this product is brought to mind with Arabian and Chinese help, because the Chinese people of Donbass and the differences between Moscow and Kiev are absolutely indifferent.

          Visually, the base of the Grom2 tractor is longer than the "Chinese", and is apparently designed for a large load (after all, not only for specific pressure). What for?
          the mass of the Thunder-2 warhead indicated by the Ukrainian developer fully coincides with the weight of the military equipment of the Chinese M20 (480 kg).

          And why not compare with the Iskander M - the mass of the warhead: 480 kg?
          We will take a look at the 5-axis mobile cross-country launcher developed by KrAZ or their design bureau. Morozova (GP KHKBM).

          - The machine with a wheel formula 10x10 designed and built SE "Kharkov Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering named after A. Morozov" (KHMB), presumably using KrAZ aggregates and imported ones. Self-propelled launcher is supposed to accommodate two transport-launch containers with ballistic missiles OTRK "Thunder-2" -

        And who of the thieves in power in Kiev will agree so much dough to "piss off"? lol Remember the hammer and everything else. And also the words of those who constantly say - "The Nazis in Kiev do not need Victory, in the Donbas, they need a War for which they will write off all their atrocities !!!"
        Someone asks - but they didn’t "regret" the point-U spend. And everything is simple - Americans did not allow them to sell them trite tongue . And with "so do not get to anyone," they applied them.
        Well, you think it yourself - suppose (God forbid) they destroy and capture Donbass and SHO? Then comes the “oil painting”: there is Victory, there is “occupied Crimea”, there are Nazis for whom the “liberation” of Crimea will become a slogan !! belay And then what to do “publicly” as a thief in Kiev, to go a real war to the Crimea - but for this you can not only sukashvili “choke on a tie”, but you can also get a cruise missile into your own mansion belay crying . And if there is a Thief, he’ll be there at the moment, he’s “choking on a croissant” (bacon with a vodka) and it is possible to “choke” to death. So really fight for the Crimea-not an option. But then what to do with the crazy Nazis, what to do with all this scum that is now fascist in the Donbass (and this I recall about 200 thousand Cove?
        Therefore, even there is a “thunder-2" will become a reality in the metal and will fly where necessary, it will not change anything in the war in the Donbass.
        I want to recall the use of such terrible weapons as the Nuclear - they burned two cities of Jeroshima and Nagasaki, BUT - the victims were LESS than from the raid on Tokyo with conventional (and incendiary) bombs negative . Well, instead of point-U they’ll launch their “thunder-2” and sho, but a lot more people will die from conventional artillery.
        LDNR should not be prepared for a "new weapon", but for that - to defeat (physically destroy) the Ukrofashists and move their troops away from their cities !! good . And the S-300 will put them Abkhazians or South Ossetians feel

          One thing is true and true, joking over Ukraine is more expensive for yourself! They still have a good production base and staff, and what is especially important is the passionarity of a large part of the population, no matter how our media try to hide it. It is also unacceptable to make gifts in the form of ships, planes and other military equipment remaining in Crimea

      From an interview with the Director of Defense Express Information and Consulting Company SERGEY ZGURETS.
      - That is, it’s premature to say today that this is a weapon for Ukraine?

      - Nobody talks about this. This is a complex that is produced on the basis of a contract for one of the Middle Eastern countries. But this significantly reduces the financial and technological risks associated with the development of these weapons, which, in fact, are necessary for Ukraine.. And the military is really betting on this weapons system after completing all work related to another country.

        Ukraine does not have many industries to establish a series of such machines and missiles, which means it will have to purchase. What this leads to can be seen in the production of ATGMs of "Ukrainian production", where you also have to buy a lot and what, did Ukraine produce a lot of such missiles? And OTR is not an ATGM. Something is possible and will receive, but it will be calculated in units.

        In fact, the problem with the explosions is not the problem of mortars, but the problem of ammunition. The propellant charge of a mortar mine is too weak to break the barrel. This is a fuse issue that triggers a blast during a shot. There can’t stand any mortar.

Material support has become generally deplorable: aviation is no longer there, what could still fly, militias shot down in the summer of 2014, if you want, you can even read the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces aviation on Wiki. There were almost no tanks and other armored vehicles, there was also no artillery, there were not enough small arms either, the racers had to rake out warehouses from the DP, DShK and other junk from the Second World War. Well, with ammunition, the condition is generally sad, the only ammunition factory in Ukraine was located in Lugansk, and now it is controlled by the LPR authorities. There are almost no stocks of ammunition, it is not without reason that Poroshenko and other leaders want to switch to NATO standard ammunition, since in this case they hope to receive supplies from the EU and the USA.

    Let's start with simple problems:
    comments left by both opponents and supporters of the criminal Kiev regime. First traditionally (in a standard marasmic form) they flaunted the speedy adoption of the Thunder into the armament of the Ukrainian forces with the possibility of "shelling of Central Russia from positions in the Sumy region." Recent ones .., they began to make fun of the project, emphasizing the lack of experience, capabilities and financial resources of the cooperative junta of enterprises of CB Yuzhnoye and NPO Pavlogradsky Chemical Plant.

    Opponents are not mixed up with supporters?
    An option is also possible where Beijing transferred the Southern Design Bureau to the production technology of DF-12

    Nothing impossible exists at all, the question is different: who at 404, even for the Saudi money, is able to put the product on the conveyor? NPO Pavlogradsky Chemical Plant a couple of years after receiving TD? Very unlikely.
    In other words, despite
    tremendous efforts are being made for the speedy adoption of Thunder-2

    I recall the toast "I have a desire, but I have no opportunity."
    If the impossible happens, I believe that the anti-Thunder weapons will be not air defense systems, but "unidentified persons who committed the arson (undermining or other muck)."

    I don’t think that the opinion of some commentators and “experts” is erroneous, that with 64 years of experience in designing various types of medium-range ballistic missiles, ICBMs and launch vehicles, the former OKB-586 (now the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau) will stretch the “Thunder- 2 ”for a decade. Those people who were engaged in the construction of Soviet missiles are already retired. How old are those who actively worked in the late 80s. At 70 -65 minimum who was then young. In addition to washing personnel, there is such a thing as accumulating experience in designing and manufacturing complex systems with new personnel. If there is no experience, scientific and industrial groundwork, it is very doubtful to speak of rapid success in creating an advanced modern OTR. The help of the Saudis is 40 million, well, this is not impressive. Except that enough money to support the pants. Of course, if they strain and set a goal, over time, at least five years, if they really try, they will receive the finished product, but we will see what they get.

        In the late eighties, the USSR announced a "conversion", and almost the entire defense industry and allies "stood up." Salaries are not paid. The people first went on unpaid leave, and then everyone quit. The plants were empty. In winter, the snow was not removed, the buildings drifted along the roof. Those who remained for the winter were driven into one building, it was drowned. The rest were disconnected from the heating to save. so not one year. Where the "trainees" practiced. There was no real work. These "trainees" were the first to quit.
        And all the documentation is out of date. Soviet GOSTs canceled. There are no components, construction materials (necessary according to the old documentation) (nobody has been producing them for a long time). Nobody orders or buys products. While the fight did not begin, no one "itched." Now they are forced to solve all these problems. Well, they decide one way or another. But not as fast, and not as high quality as we would like. And money is of course an important "component", but not the main one. Take such a "half-dead" production, pour money on the roof. And nothing will happen. Only numerous “masters” of this money will appear. And over time, everyone will master them. People are needed, specialists. And they must be prepared in advance, and kept in good shape.

      I support - it’s just “just a scumbag” of what “young specialists” are. And the point is not only the ability to draw up a drawing or write a note, often the key problem is the inability to think as a designer, I don’t even know how to describe it. Many people think that - such an uncle (aunt) sits and draws something on the kulman (by the way, for this word, the designers will most of all knock on the head feel ) as they say "from nail to nail." And here is the CRANKS tongue it’s dozens, hundreds, thousands of people and each develops his LITTLE piece, then they try to “stick a square into a round” all this “disgrace”. belay request .
      And now imagine that during the lack of orders - smart specialists did not stay idle and banally went to other areas of design (yes it’s possible), but it usually remains - mediocrity which no one wants to hire or the “middle peasant” who didn’t have enough to change jobs . And here come the Saudis with the dough and the Kiev authorities - "GET IT !!" And what to “give”, if often the remaining just themselves can not or do not know how to do the required. Actually, that’s why the explosion on the test and the exploding “hammers” do not surprise me, it’s enough to be a dunno in such “trifles” as formulas, standards, etc. and - they thought something wrong, forgot something somewhere, and the materials that were fundamentally incapable of doing required task (load). fool Yes, look what’s going on in the Russian cosmonauts - it seemed like it was loot and missiles were launched (experience and inheritance of skills), but now something like disorder and mess has reached unthinkable sizes. Therefore, it is expected that now, in Ukraine, not based on Soviet developments, Ukraine will be able to do something working No. . No, if they had mountains of dough to exclude all the wrong options by the method of scientific poking, there would be a chance to create something working, but the Sauduks obviously would not pay for these "dances with tambourines"

    Fortunately, a certain number of Tor-M1 air defense systems and other anti-aircraft defense systems capable of intercepting the "Points" moving at speeds from 600 to 800 m / s nevertheless appeared in NM LDN cases.

    Damantsev, exactly? Some appalchants told? What else has appeared? The points that went to Lugansk were strayed by a completely different tool .... And what they showed on all the media is a divorce in order to cover the real vector of opposition. It’s approximately the same as in the case of EM “Donald Cook” - where the flight of the aircraft was just a cover for the operation of another system, which burnt all the electronics on the ship. Later, the need for camouflage disappeared when, in the 2017 year, the Russian Ministry of Defense conducted a teaching about which they spoke in passing. But which terribly bothered all our fucking partners.

    A certain unit of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation conducted an exercise on delivering an electronic strike in a certain area where all technical and electronic systems were disabled (full discharge of batteries from those that are on the equipment and ending with batteries in watches, optical and other sights, etc. , network breaks and other pleasures that left the group of troops there only with small arms in their hands without the means of communication and control ... But this is not the most important thing .... And the fact that the area was hit from 4 000 kil meters.

    And yet - there is so far no development of KRAZ.
    And now let's look at the 5-axis mobile cross-country launcher developed by KrAZ or their design bureau. Morozova (GP KHKBM). At its base we see

A retaliatory strike will follow by the forces of the air forces and heavy barrel artillery, large-caliber MLRS. There will be little left from the APU.

    Now on Mount Karachun there is a huge number of 122-caliber gun shells. According to the military, 16 thousand were shot there.

    On May 2, 2014, control over the mountain several times passed from one side to the other. On May 3, 2014, the Ukrainian army established control over the height and the television tower. Subsequently, the rebels repeatedly attempted to storm the mountain and regularly bombarded it, including with the use of mortars. On May 9, 2014, an attempt was made to attack the DNR militias on the positions of the Ukrainian military in Karachun. The attack was unsuccessful, the use of combat helicopters played a key role in repelling the attack. As of May 9, 2014, a position on the mountain was held by a company of airborne paratroopers of Ukraine.

    On May 13, 2014, during the clash, seven paratroopers of the 95th airmobile brigade of Ukraine were killed, one armored personnel carrier and one GAZ-66 with a mortar installation burned down. The rebels also suffered losses. On May 19, 2014, during a mortar shelling, a soldier of the 95th airmobile brigade, Gennady Belyak, was killed. On May 29, the Mi-8MT helicopter of the National Guard of Ukraine was shot down by the rebels, which, after unloading food and rotating personnel, returned from the Karachun mountain region. 12 people were killed - six soldiers of the National Guard of Ukraine, including two people from the helicopter crew, and six representatives of the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, among them Major General Sergey Kulchitsky. On June 24, 2014, shortly after taking off from Mount Karachun from MANPADS, the rebels shot down a Ukrainian Mi-8 military helicopter, killing nine people. On the night of July 1, 2014, as a result of shelling of Ukrainian positions on Mount Karachun, the mines killed the cables that held the TV tower, and this tower collapsed. After that, the fighting over the mountain stopped. "

    Something I do not see the mention of at least one device that can shoot 122mm.
    And yes, 16 sleeves are 000 cubic meters of metal. Or a grid of funnels with a side of 168x50 meters over the entire area of ​​Slavyansk. Or 50 square meters of solid pits. Mathematics is an entertaining thing ...)

    with 64 years of experience in designing various types of medium-range ballistic missiles, ICBMs and launch vehicles, the former OKB-586 (now Yuzhnoye Design Bureau) will extend the design of the Thunder-2 for a whole decade; do not forget that the project is supervised by Riyadh.

    I agree that we must rely on the worst option, then all the deviations are in the direction of absolute happiness. But I personally know cases when, after the 90s, defense enterprises received government orders and could not fulfill it - there were no corny people with the necessary qualifications (quit) and, sometimes, the loss of equipment was superimposed on this.
    In principle, it’s not a secret for anyone that in Russia the path from the project to its adoption is not only long, but criminally long. And it's not about the money, but in the frames. I do not think that the situation in Ukraine is better.

    Underestimating the capabilities of the Ukrainian military industry is the stupidity of people who have little idea of ​​what Ukraine was in the military-industrial complex of the USSR. I really hope that people in the General Staff of Russia and other competent units of our country understand this very well. There are 2 options for solving the problem: either a political settlement of relations with Ukraine, with an unambiguous change in the course of a neighbor, or calibrated attacks by the Russian air forces deep into the Ukrainian defense, in order to destroy its military potential, in the event of any military conflict with this country. There is indeed a third option: Ukrainians should see a constantly charged Russian barrel in front of them, ready to smash their country into the trash.
