All the same, Russia is breaking it! US is preparing to withdraw from the INF Treaty

The Committee on the Affairs of the Armed Forces of the House of Representatives of the US Congress called for the annulment of the US-Soviet Treaty of Medium and Short-Range Missiles (INF) in the event that Russia does not comply with it.

The resolution of the committee, adopted by a majority vote of the Republican faction, states that the United States should not consider itself bound by the contract unless President Trump confirms its full compliance with the Russian side, Radio Liberty reports

Member of the committee, Republican Mike Gallagher called this measure an attempt by the United States to "push Russia to comply" with the INF Treaty, the newspaper writes.

The INF Treaty has long been a subject of dispute between those who consider it necessary to preserve the agreements concluded between the superpowers during the Cold War era and, if necessary, to modernize them, and those who propose abolishing them as an anachronism preventing America from updating its weapons.

Withdrawal from the INF Treaty will allow the United States to invest in the development of a new generation of ground-based cruise missiles, which will serve as a counterweight to the Chinese missile armsnot covered by any disarmament agreements

- Admiral Phil Davidson, commander of US forces in the Pacific, said at a congressional hearing.

In recent years, Moscow and Washington have regularly accused each other of violating the INF Treaty. In the US Congress, there were even calls to develop a bill that would directly accuse Russia of violating this document and prepare the ground for the United States to withdraw from it in the same way that Washington withdrew from the ABM Treaty.

Double standards rule. The INF Treaty is no longer a tenant. And given the fact that China and other countries that have WMDs have not signed the treaty, it loses all relevance.

And Pershing 2 will return, but does Russia need this? We must comply with the agreement, especially since it is in the interests of Russia.

Iskander, in the opinion that prevails in the West, is a missile with a range of up to 1500 km. The official 500 is an understated performance, i.e. in the West they believe that Iskander is a missile that violated the treaty. As far as this is true, I won’t judge.

Iskander is a missile that violated the treaty.

"Iskander" "Iskander" discord. The USA accuses us of violation due to one of the missiles for this complex. But we also have a number of complaints against them and it is precisely in compliance with this agreement that they are not going to discuss this. Since it’s more profitable for them to just get out of it.

[Alex777]

Their exit from the INF Treaty is our exit from the OSV-3. For 3 times or 10 times to destroy the world - does not matter. And they will be afraid.

Quote: Alex777

Their exit from the INF Treaty is our exit from the OSV-3

There is one caveat - medium-range missiles - Pioneer or SS-20, located in Chukotka, shot through the entire West Coast of the United States and its Pacific bases. Those. from the territory of the USSR, we attacked with this class of missiles the territory of the United States, and of all of Alaska and Canada. Theoretically, the agreement was mutually beneficial, we also do not need to fly to the centers of the Russian Federation in Europe. On the other hand, Russia needs to attack London, Los Angeles and Beijing, which make SD missiles. In short, we need to consider all the pros and cons, But the pros for us are more because, at least, China and Pakistan we need to consider.

[Grits]

All would be nothing ... But again, this is a huge cost for the deployment of combat missiles SD. A bunch of dough is all worth it. Americans can afford spending money (they draw money), but we cannot.

[hrych]

On the contrary, they don’t have enough money, it’s a huge debt, and not ours, it’s they have inflated the financial bubble and they have a loss of production due to the departure of jobs in China, they need to buy as much oil as mined by the United States, and this is almost the entire volume of production of Saudi Arabia. This they need to contain almost a thousand military bases and a dozen carrier groups, which Russia is stupidly unable to threaten geographically. And the deployment of a BR for the Russian Federation, and with the experience of mobile ICBMs, is not a problem. The border is ready, but so far we are not letting it into the series. Of course, they can put Tomahawks on ground installations, which they do to quiet, so we have Iskander’s CD again on a mobile platform and we can throw containers with gauges along the borders. By the way, the deployment of SD missiles is much cheaper than ICBMs and all the more so in the maintenance of thousands of bases and AUGs.

[mvg]

US oil has been stockpiled, and now it is being sold. Moreover, the entire BV for them. Do not give a damn about their 20 trillion debt, who will show them what? I do not think that we have Iskander in bulk. Moreover, we are cutting the military budget, and they are increasing. The flight time of missiles from Poland or Japan is minimal, and this further increases the chances of 3000 Axes. And Pershing is still not out of date.
PS: The New Cold War. And we already lost one, although we were in a better position. In the end, this is not good.

Is Russia ready? Dear, at least look at the map. The United States theoretically can deliver medium- and short-range missiles anywhere - from Estonia and Ukraine to Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. Let me remind you that from Moscow and let's say just over 600 km to Kharkov (just that!).
And where are we going to put such missiles - in Mexico, in Canada? True, we tried in Cuba ...
Due to the changed geopolitical picture of the USA, this agreement is not profitable and they in every way they will seek a way out of it.

The keyword is "theoretically." And so, I come to visit the cottage (Kingisepp district of the Leningrad region), fry kebabs and know perfectly well that in a few kilometers (Estonia) there are NATO units. Stalin must be turning over in his grave, to near the administrative border of the Leningrad region ..

[mvg]

25 km from Kingisepp to Narva, you can’t even catch a grunt. And to St. Petersburg 130 km.

[hrych]

These distances are not for SD barrels, but for tactical missiles and even nuclear artillery. Pershing in order to place it is still necessary the consent of the country, although there are balts, etc., but there are Cuba and Venezuela and Bolivia who are not opposed to deploying our missiles.

Quote: mvg

I do not think that we have Iskander in bulk. Moreover, we are cutting the military budget, and they are increasing.

They are forced to increase the budget, and we invested in the military-industrial complex, set up assembly shops for spanking rockets, like sausages, invested in production, now there is an opportunity to rest on our laurels and reduce costs, we have also deployed a military satellite group, and now we need not worry. Also closed the SPRN holes, which required large investments, now the systems on duty were built. They have the same expenses for the supply of bases and fleets, and the introduction of f-35, the conduct of the war in Afghanistan, and against the igiloids. They also have to invest a lot of money in deterring China, but ours is easier.

[mvg]

Just to the Urals, where are our main factories and ICBMs.
Many bases in Europe are on the balance of these states.
The supply of bases and fleets, well, they somehow still contained them in large quantities.
PS: We have Crimea, Donbass, Syria and a bunch of enemies around the perimeter. In my opinion, only Belarusians are neutral.

[hrych]

As you noticed, for every walking launcher of the Iskander there is a Charging machine. 2 missiles in the launcher and 2 missiles in the transport-loading machine, i.e. 4 on the snout. Those. In the photo there are 64 rockets, and given. that this is a mobile carrier of nuclear weapons, the hysteria is understandable. We don’t touch the Kyrgyz Republic, the declared range of 500 km of the BR, of course, under the INF Treaty. But the aviation counterpart - Dagger, did not hesitate to voice its range of 2 thousand. It is clear that the carrier lifts it to a height, it is clear that a couple of swoops at an altitude of 20 thousand meters, its starting parameters. But not from 500 to 2000, so Western specialists attribute the range closer to a thousand to Iskander, but in a nuclear version, where a tactical charge is 5 times lighter than a half-ton high-explosive, they converge in the possibility of a London attack from Kaliningrad. Crimea and Kaliningrad give us the opportunity to shoot through the whole of Europe right now. If the Americans exchanged their Pershing and ground Tomahawks for our SS-20 (which, in addition to mobility was also with a split head), then apparently not from altruism, there was already Iskander's mother - Oka and the ground version of Pope Caliber - Granat (Relief). And apparently the Americans were afraid of these things in Cuba, all this economy was already mobile and compact. Let them think. We are ready, because their missile defense in Europe has already been regarded as a violation of the treaty and taken measures.

So take a look at the map yourself, from Anadyr in Chukotka to Los Angeles 5400 km fly in a straight line, and the Pioneer SD missile could reach 5500 km and shoot through the entire West coast of the United States. Or is the USA for you only on the Atlantic coast? More than 50 million people and more than 18% of the US population live on the West Coast of the United States; there are Navy bases and megacities as priority goals.

"Pershing" will not return, there are none already. W85 removed from them are used on the B-61. The United States does not currently have the ability to produce SLBMs, nor is there the possibility of producing nuclear warheads. The Russian Federation has the opportunity to deploy in-line production of both of these for several months. By TNW we are ahead of the rest with a wide margin.
If you already decided to dig a hole with Europe ... well, we won’t take away a shovel from them. Let them dig.

"The United States does not currently have the opportunity to produce nuclear warheads." - Who told you that?

The production of NFC is not quite the same as the production of iPhones. The continuity of the production cycle is very important. The United States, no matter how hard it is to believe, has lost the technological capabilities to create a nuclear warhead from scratch. They can still upgrade existing ones and utilize debited ones, but to create new ones is no longer there. And they won’t be able to for another 10 years.
I hope you can understand why they don’t shout about this fact on every corner? This is a shame for a nuclear power. North Korea can do nuclear weapons, but the USA can’t.

[Vadim237]

"The United States, no matter how hard it is to believe, has lost the technological capabilities to create." Come on, the program for modernizing the US nuclear potential until 2030 - almost a trillion bucks, includes the creation of new nuclear submarines, cruise missiles, bombers, ICBMs and new warheads.

For a long time, such an “interesting” assumption has walked in the information space that the American missile defense is just a cover for the deployment of just such missiles, based on the fact that the missile launchers for missile defense are universal and shock missiles can easily fit into them. Just an assumption, but as they say, there is no smoke without fire ...

this is not an "interesting" assumption, it is actually an official presentation. for Putin openly talked about the fact that GBI can be used as RSD.

By the number of fighter jets that are in service with the Armed Forces, we are already inferior not only to the USA and China, but also to Israel (!)

Poles - similarly. Total and more! They even pay for what they place.

Romania is happy.

Ukraine - no comment. How much is there from Kharkiv even Toporov to fly to any Baltimore / Buturlinovka (past the most equipped air units in the west now)? 15 minutes?

Well, how do you want? The pressure will only increase. Further it will be even tougher, because not Russia is the main country of capitalism, but you know which one. And even those in the United States who advise against pressure on Russia are also not our allies. They simply propose acting thinner, with a scalpel, and not with an ax. Now the fashionable term "hybrid war" is used; this concept includes some kind of ideological format. Is the ideological format different with the USA? Absolutely the same, "chop loot all over the Earth, push beavers to the delight of people." Trump sells Patriot; GDP sells S-400. What is the difference? You see? I personally do not see. Copying each other's actions. There is an enclave war between us and the USA. We have enclaves along the borders of Donbass, Transnistria, Abkhazia and South Ossetia. We have “situational allies” —Iran, Belarus, Kazakhstan, China, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and something from Central Asia — Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. Why "situational"? Because their "multi-vector nature" can easily turn into both our and the American side, and you yourself know why they will change the government, block accounts and so on. The United States has enclaves in Syria, and they are trying to make them strong. Syria is conditionally under Russian influence. And the United States simply believes that in a conversation with the "rebellious country" one trump card should be kicked out after another. Russia's place in the UN and the Security Council is also a matter of time. So see for yourself, gentlemen, commentators. Further it will be worse internationally.

Trump sells Patriot; GDP sells S-400. What is the difference? You see? I personally do not see. Copying each other's actions

what you see poorly is obvious. strange reasoning and strange conclusions. your trouble is that you do not see and do not hear the main thing. the problem is not at all the pressure on Russia, not in the allies and not in ideology. the problem is that in the world there is a country for which there are NO rules! and who believes that he can do whatever he wants. if only some country outside the NATO block is interested in the United States at least something, it will be bombed in a few days. no matter under what pretext. and they will bomb it until it turns into a desert. and even if a country enters the bloc, they will most likely throw it out and bomb it. Putin said they don’t want to hear us, that is, something needs to be done so that the United States wants to hear . Well, it’s clear that the simplest thing in this case is to squeeze the Baltic states or Poland, but the states have quickly turned around :). Persuading Finland to join NATO is essentially an attempt to get it out of a possible Russian strike. but in general and in general they are unlikely to be able to force Russia to attack these countries unless they only try to deploy nuclear-powered warheads on their territory. but it is unlikely that these countries will agree to deploy them. Then what remains is to try to cover up Syria (the idea is good but difficult to implement. Syria is far away and the United States Iran’s only ally began to sharply push, apparently they realized that Russia could not cope without it.) We must think. and the old move with Cuba is unlikely to succeed. This is the policy of the gentlemen. very interesting country nicaragua.

It has long been clear that many people don’t want to comply with world agreements, our country is large, we can return to nuclear testing and stick nuclear mines all over the country, there’s a good place. There are more airfields to do, more airplanes. Bourgeois will have enough money to shake, there’s still to be washed . It’s necessary to take military infrastructure into space, to destroy enemy satellites. The USA naively hopes that in case of war they will be covered with European meat, and they will throw three points with impunity, but it’s not so possible to score a decisive ball from your own half. populated than Russia and the infrastructure is more developed, they will suffer more damage for any.

They have a belief that missile defense systems will save them.

And here there are already many questions. Around us there are a lot of countries that have come close to or have already crossed the line of knowledge and skills in the design and manufacture of such missiles, and there is nothing special for us to answer.

Iskander, in the opinion that prevails in the West, is a missile with a range of up to 1500 km. The official 500 is an understated performance, i.e. in the West they believe that Iskander is a missile that violated the treaty. As far as this is true, I won’t judge.

We are talking about a cruise missile from the complex, and not about OTR ... Just the Darkest said that the answer will be quick and asymmetric ...

Since it’s more profitable for them to just get out of it.

I agree, Sergey! and in general all this “ping-pong” accusations they are us, and we are pretty fed up with them. If you have something to present - present. and not all these violations of the "spirit" of the contract.

There are claims to the Iskander ballistic options - let's create a joint commission and joint combat crew. who will try to launch the BR at a range of more than 500. Launch - we are to blame. No - let them go through the forest. The same thing applies to cruise missiles of this complex.

"Pershing" will not return, there are none already. W85 removed from them are used on the B-61.

If you already decided to dig a hole with Europe ... well, we won’t take away a shovel from them. Let them dig.

You're right. Pershing in the form in which they existed did not return. And the W-85 are used. But what prevents the same Americans from using the BGs they have in operational and long-term storage from other products, in particular those that should be used, if necessary, for the return potential of Minutmen-3
The factory for the production of BR, EMNIP it is called "Hercules", they simply mothballed.

One and only question: WHERE. Our only plant that produces solid fuel rockets and so works with overload. As a result, about half a hundred ICBMs and SLBMs a year and 2 Iskander regiment kits. To put the ballistic missile on the stream, we need a new plant. If you do this, then rearmament plans will fly to hell

Actually, he's right. The production of new nuclear ammunition will be ready no earlier than 25025, and by 2030 the quantity of ammunition (new) will range from 10 to 80 per year. In this regard, the Americans were "broken"

Quote: Fedor Egoist

I hope you can understand why they don’t shout about this fact on every corner? This is a shame for a nuclear power. North Korea can do nuclear weapons, but the USA can’t.

But these are, in principle, known facts. Enough to read, for example. latest report from their ministry of energy. The euphoria of the collapse of the USSR played a cruel joke with them. They "scored" this, hoping that they had a big deal in DPS, and Russia, like the Soviet Union, was about to fall apart. As a result, Russia not only did not fall apart, but also did not lose these technologies. The Americans have to do everything anew, including and certify their materials used in the production of nuclear weapons. And these are months, or even years.

One contract is more or less, there is no particular difference.

You know, Eugene, “old Europe” will not become a silent hostage. The Americans do not have to hope that the FRG, England or Italy will again agree to deploy medium-range missiles on their territory.

They covered up Barguzin and Rubezh because they weren’t needed. I think that I’ll make 30 divisions of the S 20 with the 500 divisions, they will create a new anti-attack for the S 400, by then they will be in the United States and will create a new infantry fighting system.

I think that here is a bit superficial look on the topic. There is no need to put an equal sign between hypersonic Raman and RRS. The first can really meet in 2-3 minutes to St. Petersburg, starting from Lithuania, for example. But no one has them yet. The S-500 is just created to counter such threats. The ballistic missile systems follow a ballistic trajectory, they have their own "dead zone", less than the ICBMs, but they do. And for objective reasons, they simply will not have time to fly in 2-3-4 minutes. Such means are needed for a disarming strike. The reserve KP systems, the Perimeter and other methods “widely known in narrow circles” significantly stop the threat.

I was also interested in this question at one time - is it possible to use warheads from the strategic nuclear weapons for nuclear weapons or vice versa? I did not find the answer. I had to consult with Vyatkin. He thought and said that it is impossible (confirming my opinion):

Quote: Yar_Vyatkin

No, I do not think that B-61 can be easily converted into a charge for an ICBM. That is, to disassemble and use fissile materials, say - yes. But the question arises, where to get a number of important components that need to be produced, and not produced. And since the physical package is never interchangeable with the packages in the BB ICBM or SLBM.

If you have other sources of competent information, share, I will study with pleasure)

Quote: Old26

The factory for the production of BR, EMNIP it is called "Hercules", they simply mothballed. They developed several types of target missiles, which by their nature are almost ready to launch ballistic missiles.

Well, I didn’t say that the States, in principle, cannot create a ballistic missile defense system. I said that "the United States does not currently have the ability to produce an SLBM." And that is a fact. The Russian Federation has such an opportunity. In any case, a non-nuclear ballistic missile defense is a little useful thing in a global conflict.

Quote: Old26

One and only question: WHERE. Our only plant that produces solid fuel rockets and so works with overload. As a result, about half a hundred ICBMs and SLBMs a year and 2 Iskander regiment kits

You yourself answered your question) The rocket from Iskander is our main infantry ballistic missile in the event of the termination of the RMDS agreement. I am sure that the possibility of installing nuclear warheads with a significant increase in range was originally provided for in the project. They will slightly change the index, re-equip it (the nuclear warheads have probably already been made in sufficient quantities) and put them on combat duty.
In the Russian Federation with TNW everything is in order, both in number (5-8 thousand warheads) and in terms of nomenclature. If the contract ceases to exist, even Msta and Tulip will have the BCH in the BC. Just in case )

You are right, the BR is not intercepted in this way, and in the final section of the trajectory it is only with a low probability. But it seems to me that Vadim237 meant interception in the active section of the trajectory (the first 120-160 seconds of flight). That is, the same tactics that the States are going to use with their missile defense in Europe. This makes some sense.

ABM Treaty of 1972, CFE Treaty of 1990 Although in fairness, I note that they withdrew from the ABM treaty in accordance with the provisions laid down in the text, that is, nothing was violated de jure, the treaty simply terminated. As for the CFE Treaty, it was not the States that violated, but NATO as a whole, more precisely, its new members. Although in any case I think the CFE Treaty is stillborn initially.

Since 2001, the United States has refused to follow the protocol.

We don’t seem to be buying Minsk, our own KAMAZ version is still being tested and it is not clear how they go. In fact, because of this, they stopped talking about setting up the Rubezha database, because didn’t decide which chassis it would be on.

[mvg]

hrych,
Neither Cuba nor Venezuela will deploy missiles. Unlike Ukrainians, Poland and the Baltic states. Not that situation in the world. They tried it once. The USA over the puddle feels relatively safe. SS-20 Pioneer was 650 pieces, 3 BB each with 150 kT. Plus Oka, Spider is more than 200 rockets of 10-50 kt. Agree, a little more than 64 launchers with one BB, and not all are vigorous.
Grenades, it seems, were only in the marine version and with a bch. Now there are none. Dates.
A dagger can and flies for 2000, a carrier can climb 30 km and launch at Mach 2.5. But there are, like, a dozen carriers. Not an option. Like Kaliningrad. There is no MiG-31, he has nothing to do there.
Remaining ICBMs and nuclear submarines, at best 3-4 carriers on the database. Mine are destroyed, mobile Yars and Poplar remain.
PS: With a great desire, at the cost of Europe, they may very well try. But rather they will press economically.

[hrych]

Quote: mvg

Mine are destroyed, mobile Yars and Poplar remain.

Mine is not destroyed, SPRN gives time to answer. MSD BRs are effective at a distance of less than 3000 km relative to ICBMs, but we have the depth of the territory and the difference is that the SD Rocket, that there is no ICBM, the SPRN, which sees at 3000, will fix and give a command to respond. Also starts ZGRLS Container will start. A separate topic of the Kyrgyz Republic, but this is also resolved. The ICBM mines are located taking into account the depth and the Voivods are in Orenburg and Krasnoyarsk. Even the SMD BRs are easier to retire with air defense / missile defense systems, in particular the S-400 takes missiles with a range of 3500 km, i.e. on ICBMs is weak, on the SS-20 is weak, but Pershing-2 with a range of 1770 km is its topic, and with a margin of two. The S-400 was actually created taking into account the possible creeps of a partner. Another reason why the Turks clung to the S-400 so much, it’s for them an anti-missile defense against existing missiles in Israel (Jericho-3), Iran (Shahab-3) and Saudi Arabia (Chinese Dongfeng-3).
The IRGC unit operating abroad - Quds, with all its secrets, does not exceed the number of 50 thousand, but actually even less. We do not forget that in addition to Syria, they work in Lebanon, Iraq, and now there is a big cripple in Yemen. They are rather operatives and advisers, i.e. MTR, and directly cannon fodder provide local formations. It is for the Quds that the Israelis hunt. But Shiite volunteers from Iraq and Lebanon in Syria are really many, but not so much. At least there are no hundreds of thousands for sure. They are essentially mercenaries, albeit motivated.

[mvg]

At least there aren’t hundreds of thousands

Greetings. This is the 100 thousand Shiite group that was promised from Iraq when they break through the corridor. It’s clear that they’ve overestimated, but with Hamas, Hezbola and the IRGC, I fully admit that 100 will run. There are too many fronts, the forces are scattered, and only the Tigers are fighting. Chasing them from place to place. Mercenaries so-so fight, take care. Moreover, these are former opponents who have flipped over.
By the way, very little coverage in our press of the success of the Iranians, not a word. Even more about Turks and Kurds.
Jerekhon-3 is an ICBM, it has a range of 11, Shahab and DF-000, as I understand it, the Skad R-3, can be modernized. They should go astray, but I don’t think with a high percentage.
I somehow do not particularly believe in air defense / missile defense. How many were shot down in 1982, in 1991, in 2003 .. in Yugoslavia .. a penny. And now, out of 103, it’s declared either 77 or 37. And one lost plane. S-200, vaunted, along the way, can only bring down Boeing. A friend in the air defense, in the part that safely collapsed, leaving the barracks, pools, giant caponiers, was not too high a view. And here they consider the S-300 a panacea for everything .. forgetting that there are regular exercises with Greece and Cyprus.
Aviation ALWAYS defeated air defense.

So declared 2000-4800 km, range, and the level of ICBMs is of course doubtful. From Tel Aviv to Istanbul and Ankara, the distance is 900-1100 km (the border of short and medium range), i.e. even if the missile’s range is greater, it’s still necessary to let it go to this range, or to abandon the third stage, and from the second it was tested only at medium range.
The S-300, unlike the S-200, has mobility, the latter stationary. Even the latest S-300 missiles can work on overseas targets, i.e. can shoot the entire territory of Israel. Do not require illumination of the target, etc. The Golan Heights and the Antilivan chain close Syria from Israel and if you do not jump out from behind the mountains, then the aircraft was invulnerable. Even long-range air defense missiles can carry a nuclear warhead and can be used to strike ground targets and naval targets. A very perfect weapon. Aviation has a drawback - it is necessary to run to the plane, climb, accelerate, etc. Depending on weather conditions, highly qualified pilot training is required. S-300/400 complexes are mobile, instantly put into a combat position, etc. The S-200 is far from this. Of course, if there is no layered defense, then it is hard to fight back, unfortunately in Syria there is still an object system. And that can afford to repel attacks. And the results of the attacks of the Americans and Israelis are not impressive, and the merit of the air defense system is all the same.
