Russia did not stop work on the new RS-28 Sarmat ICBM

The work on the new Sarmat heavy intercontinental ballistic missile was not interrupted due to the coronavirus pandemic; preparations for flight tests of ICBMs are on schedule. About this in an interview with RIA News said Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, all tests will be held within the deadlines set by the developers of the rocket and the Ministry of Defense.

Work is being carried out as planned. At the enterprises involved in the creation of the complex, production processes did not stop. The necessary sanitary and epidemiological measures were taken there, including testing of employees

- said Borisov.

In March of this year, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that Russia was ready for serial production of the latest Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles, having carried out an appropriate modernization of enterprises.

At the end of last year, it was reported that the year 2021 was set by the end of flight design tests of the Sarmat ICBMs. In the same 2021, industry will have to master serial production of a new weapons and related systems. In addition, in 2021, the first rocket regiment armed with the Sarmatians will take up combat duty. This will be one of the regiments of the 62 th missile of the Uzhur Red Banner Division of the Strategic Missile Forces. Next, the ICBM will go into service with the Dombarovsk division of the Strategic Missile Forces.

ICBM RS-28 “Sarmat” is being prepared to replace the world's most powerful ICBM of the mine base RS-20В “Voevoda” (NATO - SS-18 “Satan”). It is possible that the rocket will become the carrier of hypersonic Avangard blocks.

Recall that according to the data released during the Army 2019 exhibition, the firing range of the Sarmat ICBMs is 18 thousand kilometers, the starting weight is more than 200 tons, of which 178 tons are fuel. The total length of the rocket is 35,5 m, the diameter is 3 meters. The head part is divided with 10 blocks of individual guidance.

At the end of last year, it was reported that 2021 was set by the end of the flight design tests of the Sarmat ICBM. In the same 2021, the industry will have to master the serial production of new weapons and related systems. In addition, in 2021, the first missile regiment armed with Sarmats will take up combat duty. This will be one of the regiments of the 62nd Uzhurskaya missile division of the Red Banner Strategic Missile Forces. Then the ICBM will enter service with the Dombarovskaya division of the Strategic Missile Forces.

I really want to believe in it, despite all these "shifts to the right", which are full of messages on VO lately.

weight - more than 200 tons

A mighty thing! And let them be afraid!

the firing range of the Sarmat ICBM is 18 thousand kilometers, the launch weight is more than 200 tons, of which 178 tons are fuel. The total length of the rocket is 35,5 m, the diameter is 3 meters. The warhead is split with 10 individual guidance units.

Powerful contraption - the heiress of Kuzkin Mother

the end of flight design tests of the Sarmat ICBM is set in 2021. In the same 2021, the industry will have to master the serial production of new weapons and related systems. In addition, in 2021, the first missile regiment, armed with the "Sarmatis", will take up combat duty.

The end of the tests and the regiment for arming in one year - everything is ready for the series, although in the current situation this speed may not grow together in finances

[neri73-r]

Is Sarmat harder, bigger and more powerful Voivode or not? Or classmates?

[Alex777]

Sarmat has a range of 18000 km.
This range allows you to hit targets on any trajectory.
Not only through the North, but also through the South Pole.
The US missile defense was designed to protect against missiles from the North.
Well, the means to overcome missile defense are much better than on the Voivode.
No one has anything like this yet.

[voyaka uh]

Sarmat will be installed in the mines of Voivode. So their sizes
are the same.

[parkello]

Well, it replaces the Voivode. The difference in the cast weight. It is slightly larger for the Voivode, but Sarmat can cover a greater distance, more accurate, passes through the anti-missile shield and can stay longer in the air. It can carry Vanguard blocks. and the weight cast by yes, it is slightly less than that of the Governor. but it’s not scary ... it’s scary where his head will go. People have been unable to live there for a hundred years.

On the letter "F" - fsyaki. The main thing Sarmat will allow to destroy the American-Israeli warriors quickly and without problems. And no amount of invisibility will help them.

[Vladimir61]

At this point, believe it or not, the Voevoda's service life is coming to an end and they need to be replaced.
So, there is no way out, even with COVID, even without it.

[NF68]

Want peace, get ready for war. The rule is old, but today it is very relevant.

[evgen1221]

A missile is more powerful and thicker, and if it has modern gunpowder and a smaller filling, then it will take 3 warheads more in the same dimensions.

[Andrey NM]

Quote: evgen1221

and if she has modern gunpowder ...

So it is "liquid", what kind of gunpowder? And a liquid-propellant rocket with equal useful masses and flight range is usually much lighter than a solid-propellant one. In both cases, there are both positive and negative sides. For a liquid-propellant rocket, such a disadvantage was the presence of dangerous fuel, but over the past decades, the production technology and operation have already been well developed. For example, the R-29RM missiles and its modifications for the entire service period (soon 40 years) had no incidents or accidents associated with the product at all. The "hard" missiles have a shorter prelaunch and active phase. There thrust vector control is more confusing. Storage requirements are strict everywhere. There is more likely even a question of technology development. In Russia, it is better to do "liquid", the Americans - "solid".

The media claims to be "classmates." Some resources say no. So far no one can say whether it will be heavier than "Voevoda" or easier, because sometimes the first flight copy and the product going into the series can differ significantly in many parameters ...

Quote: Peter Tverdokhlebov

What types of warheads can be installed on the Sarmat?

Various. Most likely some of the MIRVs (perhaps not one BO, but several different ones), perhaps a monoblock, and possibly an "avant-garde" on it.

They didn’t even start the LCI, the rocket has not flown yet. What 21st year can we talk about? It will take more than one year for the entire LCI cycle, and if there are still troubles, as with the Mace ...

Rudolf! Even if the tests pass "without a hitch, without a hitch", then at least 4-5 tests were going to be carried out. On the nose - June 2020. Test, then, if necessary, modify, test again ... Unless the tests will be completed on December 15, 2021, and it will be put into service on December 25, 2021. It is too presumptuous to make such temporary statements.

Speaking about monoblock, did you mean the orbital or ballistic warhead?

[vkd.dvk]

Friends! DO NOT knock on spoons. We do not know how much Sarmat is different from the Voivode. If, for example, borrowing elements is high, then there is a backlog for assembly work. And we are not familiar with the Test Program and Test Procedures. Not knowing the timing and scope of the tests, we are trying to assess the situation. But aren't we insolent?

[Old26]

Quote: Piramidon

Of course no. The first source - "unnamed" generally allows you to carry any nonsense, hiding behind anonymity. The last source - "Wikipedia" - although it is a fairly mobile resource, but sometimes they carry such a blizzard ...
So to speak. Data is an analysis of open sources (if you know how to work with such sources and what criteria to use). Plus work experience (with sources of information). Plus knowledge of how such products were tested. And even though now the number of tests may be 5-10 times less than before, but still 3-4-5 tests cannot be done. Especially when you consider how Sarmat is positioned ...
In addition, the GRTS them. Makeeva DOESN'T EXPERIENCE products with a starting weight of 150-200 tons. And experience is gained by testing. But not only need to shoot the product, but also analyze the results and, if necessary, make changes.

Production is ready, modernization of production is carried out. Here are just the missiles themselves in the flight version yet. There were only throwing tests ... And the first test specimen may differ from the last test rocket.

Is different. These two missiles were created by different design bureaus. Each has its own "chips". In particular, the GRC products are distinguished by a denser layout. Borrowed elements? The main thing that distinguishes "Sarmat" from "Voevoda" is different engines, a different control system, probably different combat stages. The scope of tests is most often if they differ from each other - then not so significantly. You will need tests with various combat equipment, launches at the minimum and maximum distance.

[Peter Tverdokhlebov]

At what minimum range will they launch?

[acetophenone]

It's funny ... "Dry weight" - 11% of the total mass ... The ratio is like a 20-liter aluminum can of gasoline ...

Quote: Alex777

Sarmat has a range of 18000 km.

Range of 18000 km? And why is it needed, such a range? 11000-12000 "for the eyes" is enough to cover our partners at "their home". This range is needed unless you want to bring "light and warmth" to Chile ....

Quote: Alex777

This range allows you to hit targets on any trajectory.

“Can two hundred rubles save the“ father of Russian democracy? ”That is, with a range of 11000-12000 km, the enemy will no longer be able to hit any territory?

Quote: Alex777

Not only through the North, but also through the South Pole.

You have to understand 2 options here. Or did you safely skip geography classes at school, or were you completely banned from cartographic resources? Through the North Pole, as well as when shooting to the east or west, from the same Uzhur, 11-12 thousand kilometers of range is enough. And through the South Pole .... Only to Antarctica from Uzhur about 15,5 thousand kilometers. In order to "cover" the Americans through the South Pole, a range of about 30 km is required. What's the point of shooting across the South Pole? The head will fly to the target almost twice as long as when shooting through the North Pole. In addition, the throw weight will be almost three times less. Meaning?

Quote: Alex777

The US missile defense was designed to protect against missiles from the North.

You need to understand that a few launchers of anti-missile defense in California is purely for protection from the North?

Quote: Alex777

Well, the means to overcome missile defense are much better than on the Voivode.

Yeah. especially when you consider that this rocket never flew, its abandoned weight and the weight of the anti-aircraft missile defense system are unknown. Then it's better ...

Quote: Alex777

No one has anything like this yet.

And in the next 50 years will not. For almost all countries, except for such a powerful nuclear missile power, like North Korea, are already moving away from the creation of missiles, especially ICBMs with liquid propellants. Even Iran is trying to make all its latest developments solid fuel. China is also switching to solid fuels. Given the fact that North Korea is far from an ICBM equal to the "Sarmat" - no one has anything like this yet and will not

Quote: Andrew NM

And a liquid rocket with equal payloads and flight ranges is usually much lighter than solid propellant.

The numbers are about the same order. An ICBM 15A20 with a launching point of 50.1 tons and a launch capacity of 1,2 tons carries a maximum of 3BB for a range of up to 12000 km. The same "Yars" with a starting line of 47,2 tons and a throw of 1,2 tons carries 3-4 heads for the same range. Moreover, it is 3 tons lighter. So liquid fuel is "not much lighter" than solid fuel of the same class ... At least on one level ...

Quote: parkello

Well, it replaces Voevoda. difference in cast weight. u Voevoda he is a little more

Uh-huh. According to our dear and beloved media and analysts. The rocket has never flown yet, and it is already known that the missile thrown at the "Sarmat" is slightly less. And some say that much more. Whom to believe?

But "Voevoda" cannot? If we take the probability of hitting targets by American interceptor missiles at 0,85 and take into account how many BBs and TLCs the Voevoda carries, it is easy to calculate how many Americans will destroy the Voevoda's military equipment by firing the entire stock of interceptors in the mines ...

3M-37 weighing 40,2 tons for maximum range was tested with a payload of 2 tons, which is 11000 km. Those. lighter in weight by 25%, in thrown weight more by almost 60%. Can carry 10 carrots. And it's sea-based. Well I do not know. Probably commensurate.
