Avant-garde passions: a present under the Christmas tree
A few days ago held a regular start, the last before the statement on combat duty in the next year, the first regiment of the combat missile systems (DBK) RVSN 15P771 "Vanguard" with IDB 15A35-71 and controlled maneuvering and planning aeroballistic hypersonic combat equipment (AGBO) 15YU71. The regiment will be adopted at first in a reduced composition, as usual, they will first introduce 2 silo, then 6, and then 9 or 10. The tests took place and were recognized as fully successful in all respects. Considering the participation in this event of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin and his wide media coverage, his speech about the “best gift for the Christmas tree” and the speeches of various leaders involved in the event, interest in Avangard escalated to the same extent as in the spring, after the memorable speech to the Federal Assembly. Of course, from all the cracks, like cockroaches, various “experts” and “commentators” climbed, especially from one non-fraternal territory, and the Western media could not help but add idiocy to the discussion.
For example, various “Ukrainian experts” and simply “conscientious and non-living” liberals in their Facebook community tried to ridicule the statement that the speed of 15Ü71 is up to 27М (Mach numbers, speeds of sound). They say, how is it that almost 9 km / s is obtained, greater than the first cosmic velocity, the device would go into orbit, and not chaotically maneuver in dense layers of the atmosphere (even 60-100km are already dense layers) in height and course. Like, "political adviser lies."
But the victims of the Bologna system forget that the speed of sound at different altitudes is different, and at that altitude where the hypersonic gliding BB is flying, and this, say, 80-100 km, is completely different than on the ground - not 330- 340 m / s and, say, on 80 km there will be 282 m / s, and 27M will be on the order of 7,6 km / s, and the first space velocity will be at this height 7,85. In addition, people forget that this is an ICBM, and the speed of any BB ICBM when launched at a solid intercontinental range also approaches the first space one. And it is not so important, whether it is a launch using conventional ballistics, a flat energy-intensive trajectory, or we have AGPO. In addition, it is not indicated which part of the speed 15Ü71 reaches 27M, maybe immediately after separation with the carrier, or at the stage of diving into the atmosphere, and then the speed will vary from this value to 20M, and with the entrance to the troposphere at the final section , before the explosion, and much less. As a matter of fact, there is no difference how many Machs are there, combined with the unpredictable maneuvering of the glider at the rate and height, you still can’t do anything with it, even if the enemy had a missile defense capable of actually working on the BB ICBM and SLBM of intercontinental range. But the task of the "ridicule" is not in this; their task is to question any success of the country and its leadership. However, with regard to the idiotic assessments, the Western media these days are no better than the saucepan and white-headed alternatively gifted "specialists" in rocket production.
For example, there was a gem stating that in order to intercept one AGGB Avangard, "no less than 50 SM-3 interceptor would be needed"! Why not 1000? Approximately the same efficiency will be in this case. Even if the unit did not maneuver, but was a normal intercontinental BB, it would be possible to spend at least all SM-3 of all existing blocks (1А, 1В, 2А) released by the American industry - well, these anti-missiles cannot knock down anything but BRMD / BRSD, and far from all. Intercepting a falling satellite can also be ignored as an example; orbital targets are much simpler than falling ones in ballistics, not to mention AGFO. But the western man in the street doesn’t know these subtleties, he won’t dig into the SM-3 test reports, although it’s easy to find them, and he will swallow the lies about the 50 missiles with a bang. After all, from this another conclusion suggests itself: it is necessary to produce several thousand antimissiles and everything will be fine. In general, do not hide your money in banks and corners. No, 1000 ants won't overwhelm an anteater. But in this case they will help financially necessary and good people from corporations.
The well-known channel CNBC distinguished itself, more than once delighting us with its "insights" about the latest strategic weapons of Russia, allegedly from American intelligence (if that's all true from there, then Langley slipped to the level of the SBU). Somehow their pearls were already dismantled here, but this time the guys outdid themselves. They told about successful and unsuccessful tests of hypersonic RCC and AGBO, confusing the truth with their own fairy tales, or about imaginary problems with materials for making the same Avant-garde, or even asserted this fall that "Russia will not be able to create a hypersonic weapon", although it was already created by that moment long ago. Now they have completely agreed to the fact that the speed of 15Ü71, they say, is not 20-27М, but only 5. Again, it’s not possible to say that they don’t tell a grain of truth - speed can to be comparable when the block has already slowed down in the troposphere and is above the target, but at this moment usually a small but very warm sun lights up in the sky.
Reluctantly, but Western media and officials admit that "there is no protection from Avangard", but this is manipulation again - they don’t have protection from the usual old Topol, which is actively removed from service and soon the whole will be replaced by Yars. Sometime, maybe it will. And this manipulation is also aimed at calming down his philistine, they say, well, only from this protection and no. And from everything else, we have GMD with GBI and destroyers with SM-3.
But worse than the non-brotherly "officers' daughters," of course, there is no one. Crowds of “daughters of aerodynamics”, “grandchildren of engineers” and other riffraffers crawl out of Twitter, sprinkling saliva and screaming, and they prove that it’s impossible to fly at such speeds in the atmosphere, they say. What can you say? The crisis of education in the neighboring territory began long before 2014, and now they are simply reaping its benefits in the form of such "analysts", "experts" everywhere and kopitoruki "volunteers" who are trying to construct something on their knees ATO ". The higher nervous activity inside the skull of such characters is limited only by the centers of physical activity and speech, but memory and thinking simply do not work.
A character surpassed everyone, who said that "the American reconnaissance satellites did not record a launch or a defeat on Kamchatka that day." Well, yes, there is no Avangard, everything is filmed at Mosfilm, as is the Crimean Bridge. Although it is precisely the reconnaissance satellites (species, say, intelligence) that they could not record anything - no one conducts tests during their passage, and they are not adapted for such tasks. The first echelon satellites of EWS are engaged in fixing the rocket launch, what do we have, what do we have. What they saw there is an interesting question. Acceleration of the ICBM should have been seen, but the device itself, when it dived into dense layers, is no longer, or very insecure. Of course, the American intelligence community generously shared information about its failure with a kind of Ukrainian network fool.
But if the cards were a little different, then after all the “Avant-garde” and the truth now could not be. Leave behind the brackets that there would be another device, say, a previous generation or a new one, but at a different time. Indeed, as Deputy Prime Minister Borisov said, 2014 discussed the question of what to do with the program, which was not very successful at that time, but it was decided to give industry and science a chance, which the chief designer of the system asked the supreme commander, and, they say, it worked. What is it about?
As we remember, the 15Ü71 is not the first generation of such controlled maneuvering combat equipment of the Strategic Missile Forces, but the first serial one. “Zero” at the beginning of 80 was UBB 15Ф178 for “Governor”, which was not brought, then was “Albatross” at the end of 80, then in 90 and “zero” and right up to 2010 was already flown by the immediate ancestor - 15Ü70, including at the well-known strategic exercises 2004, when Putin announced the creation of such weapons in Russia. And only then, from 27 December 2011, - 15Ü71. The first launch was successful, then in 2013 and 2015 there were at least two unsuccessful start-ups, one, however, due to the ICBM, and not the unit itself - the older XBNUMXX15 MBRs took all the tests, because the rocket is still in its original configuration is on combat duty, although it is already actively replaced by the mine "Yars-S". But the accident of the carrier itself happened in 35, but in 2015 there was an accident of the AGBO itself 2013Ü15, and probably some serious problem was identified that threatened the entire project. But then they decided to continue the project (by the way, it was possible to return to "71," but, apparently, the best is the enemy of the good, and did not do it), and in 70, real success came, two start-ups in a row with full confirmation given TTX. True, CNBC assured that there was still an emergency launch in 2016, but we already know what the "insiders" of this channel are worth. In 2017, a test was scheduled, but due to a detected problem, it was canceled and rescheduled for this year. That's the whole "failure". And this year the success was again confirmed, although the contract for the supply of Avangard DBK 2017P15 was already signed and executed by that time.
Total: since 2011 took place at a minimum, because it is impossible to exclude undeclared launches, including successful tests, 6 or 7, and successful ones from them 4 (there is unreliable information, for example, about a partially unsuccessful launch of 2014, and not only it). However, we do not know which of the various special carrier launches (K-65МР and Topol-E) from Kapustin Yar to the Balkhash test site were related to this topic, if they were, because in parallel, there was the creation of new non-maneuvering unobtrusive BB, the newest KSP PRO - a complex of means of overcoming, guaranteeing a breakthrough of a PRO in any conditions and so on. Some tasks could be worked out there.
Well, this is the usual thorny way to create rocket technology and military equipment in general. Sometime, maybe years through 20, about the peripetia of creating the first complexes of hypersonic weapons - Avangard, Anchar-RV, Zircon, Dagger and a number of other samples, they will make documentaries and write books. Perhaps there is also a director who could make something that is at least a little short of "Taming the Fire" - after all, the topic is, in general, a very worthy perpetuation to the cinema. But, given the state of our cinema, it’s probably faster to wait for the creation of a starship in Russia. It’s a pity, because what these people did when they continued to work in 90-s and at the beginning of 2000-s, except as a feat, and not to name it. And not only in the field of rocket production, in almost any area of the defense industry, where Russia is now making a leap. New missiles, anti-missiles, air defense missile systems, platforms "Armata" and "Kurganets-25", SAU "Coalition-SV" and much more that will ensure the guaranteed security of Russia in our increasingly insane world.
So it is better not to refuse such “gifts under the Christmas tree”, the consequences of the absence of these gifts can be painfully expensive. Happy New Year, 2019, dear readers! I am sure that in the new year other similar valuable gifts are waiting for us. Including very unexpected.
