USA responds to Avangard

At the very end of 2019, the Strategic Missile Forces put their first Avangard hypersonic complex on alert. A number of third countries consider this weapon a threat to their security, requiring an appropriate response. A variety of countermeasures and protection measures have been proposed, but their potential remains questionable.

US response

An interesting opinion about the potential of Avangard and responses to such a threat was published on September 18 by The National Interest in the article by Peter Suci "Is the Russian Avangard Hypersonic ICBM a Serious Threat?" The material examines the main features and overall potential of Russian weapons, as well as the means by which the United States can respond to them.

TNI suggests that hypersonic weapons will not necessarily give a potential adversary a significant advantage over the United States. The enemy, with his first strike, can disable American silo launchers with ballistic missiles or strategic bombers at airfields. However, the Pentagon will have the means for a retaliatory strike - first of all, these are submarine ballistic missiles.

They also remind that the United States is developing a promising weapon that will become a deterrent and prevent Russia from using "traditional" intercontinental missiles and the Avangard complex. So, earlier in September, the Pentagon and Northrop Grumman signed a contract for the development of a new Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) ICBM worth $ 13,3 billion.

In addition, this year, US President Donald Trump spoke about the presence of a number of modern promising models, incl. own American hypersonic missile. It is claimed to be 17 times faster than any other missile in existence, with a range of thousands of miles and an accuracy of 14 inches.

P. Suci recalled that the description of the American hypersonic missile was questioned. However, even in this case, it is clear that the US armed forces will not allow other countries to break away from them in the field of strategic weapons of intercontinental range.

Symmetric response

The TNI publication does not fully reflect the real views and opinions of the US military and political leadership, but it reveals the main ideas circulating in these circles. In general, the American leadership considers the Avangard complex to be potentially dangerous and requires a response of one kind or another.

In the TNI publication, attention is drawn to the fact that only strike systems are listed as an answer to Avangard. Any missile defense systems are not mentioned at all. In addition, almost immediately we are talking about a retaliatory strike after the destruction of part of the nuclear missile potential while maintaining only the most stable systems.

All this may well be interpreted as a recognition of the fundamental inability of the United States to intercept the most complex hypersonic maneuvering targets. Avangard at a speed of up to 27M and with an intercontinental range is considered capable of guaranteed breaking through the existing missile defense system and hitting objects of strategic importance. However, work on the development of anti-missile defense and the creation of new systems is underway and in the future may give the desired result - however, the timing of this is unknown.

The answer to the Russian hypersonic complex is called land-based and sea-based ICBMs. At the same time, along with the existing missile systems, they mention the promising GBSD, which so far exists only in the form of a preliminary project. Missiles of this type will take over duty in 2027, and until then, the ground component of the nuclear forces will be based on existing Minuteman products. As follows from the available data, GBSD will be a "classic" ICBM with conventional warheads - hypersonic gliders are not expected.

Donald Trump's “super-duper-rocket” that made a lot of noise, according to popular versions, belongs to the category aviation weapons. A strategic aviation complex based on an existing or promising long-range bomber with a hypersonic missile is of high value for the armed forces. It is doubtful, however, that it can be a symmetrical and highly effective response to Avangard.

Provide an advantage

The United States intends to maintain its superiority in the field of armed forces and strategic weapons. For this purpose, new bombers, missiles, hypersonic complexes, etc. are being developed. Measures are also taken to protect their facilities from a possible enemy attack.

Currently, the United States is developing several hypersonic missile systems for different types of troops. Moreover, current programs have several characteristic features. So, the Pentagon has no plans to equip hypersonic warheads with nuclear warheads. In addition, the creation of intercontinental range systems has not yet been reported. Finally, none of the American hypersonic projects - despite commendable optimism and numerous bold statements - have yet to be brought to alert.

Thus, the Russian armed forces have bypassed the most developed foreign army in terms of promising developments. The number of "Vanguards" on duty is still not too large, but even in this case, the newest complex significantly affects the capabilities of the strategic nuclear forces. How soon the United States will be able to complete its projects and ensure parity in such weapons is a big question.

Protection problem

As can be judged, at the moment the US strategic missile defense system is not able to intercept the maneuvering hypersonic unit from the Avangard complex. For this reason, further development of missile defense must be carried out taking into account new threats, which requires a special concentration of forces and significant expenditures.

It is necessary to improve satellite and ground-based missile early warning systems. In flight, the hypersonic unit unmasks itself in the radar and infrared range, which to some extent simplifies its detection. Despite this, high-speed data processing and control loops are required to provide timely response.

The existing missile defense systems are designed to defeat ballistic targets, while hypersonic weapons are maneuvering. Accordingly, there is a need for new means of destruction. It is not known whether it will be possible to create an effective interceptor missile to combat the Avngard or other similar weapons.

Containment issues

The Avangard complex with a number of characteristic features has the highest combat characteristics and can be considered the most advanced type of missile weapons. It is almost impossible to defend against its strike, thanks to which the complex becomes a highly effective means of strategic deterrence capable of seriously influencing the military-political situation.

The US military and political leadership is well aware of this and is trying to take action. In the absence of other solutions, we have to rely only on "traditional" strategic weapons, and this point of view is spreading in the media. How soon this situation will change, and the Avangard can be answered not only with the help of ICBMs, is a big question that does not yet have an answer.

In fact, as many as 2 "unmatched in the world" missiles UR-100NUTTH from the time of the production of dear Leonid Ilyich were put into service. And the response of the Americans, struck by such unprecedented power, was to completely ignore Mr Putin's calls to sit down at the negotiating table, consistently withdraw from all existing treaties and yesterday's chutzpah demanding that the Russian Federation join the START extension on their terms.
Well, so in the article everything is written correctly

Putin's appeals? In my opinion, they made chutzpe with your own words. On the one hand, they will have to spend billions to solve the problem of the vanguard. On the other hand, if the vanguard is not a weapon of a preemptive strike, then what prevents them from covering the mines with a block of 500 kilotons

[Odysseus]

Quote: Pilat2009

Putin's calls?

Read all of his speeches and speeches of the Foreign Ministry over the past few years - they constantly call on the United States to start negotiations. Think of the famous cartoon performance of 2018. Everyone remembers the cartoons, but the point was that they served the purpose so that they (the leadership of the Russian Federation) would finally be listened to.
But, alas, the Americans ignore these appeals completely. But in internal propaganda and for pushing military budgets, the "Russian threat" is now used constantly

Quote: Pilat2009

on the other hand, if the vanguard is not a preemptive strike weapon

Vanguard is a new warhead with a missile defense penetration system. Moreover, there is no rocket for it, so I had to put it on an old, unfilled Soviet rocket 40 years ago, which miraculously survived since it was in reserve in the Ukrainian SSR, and then was transferred to the Russian Federation. This missile can be a weapon of any strike, depending on your goals.

Quote: Pilat2009

what prevents them from covering the mines with a block of 500 kilotons

From a technical point of view, nothing. Again, this is just a new warhead with unknown characteristics. Rockets in Tatishchevo in old mines. The old missiles could theoretically be destroyed as well as the new ones. There is no difference. The sad thing here is that poverty is passed off as a virtue - the launch of two 2-year-old missiles is passed off as an "achievement" (and the notorious American missile defense system would have missed the UR-40 with the old warhead as it would with the new one).
Putting into service and serial production of new Sarmat missiles would be a real achievement and a very important matter for Russia, because our main caliber, the R-36, has long since expired.

The mines and control points of the UR100 have been verified in Semipolatinsk by an actual test of nuclear weapons. Withstand up to 1 megaton and remain functional)))

on an old, unfuel Soviet rocket 40 years ago, miraculously preserved since it was in reserve in the Ukrainian SSR, and then was transferred to the Russian Federation.

rockets were produced at the Moscow Machine-Building Plant named after M. V. Khrunichev until 1985, returned both from Ukraine and to the Russian Federation remained in storage, conversion rocket ("Rokot")

The sad thing here is that poverty is passed off as a virtue - the launch of two 2-year-old missiles is passed off as an "achievement" (and the notorious American missile defense system would have missed the UR-40 with the old warhead as it would with the new one).

After the death of Chelomey, work on the UR-100 was headed by Herbert Efremov, who is also the designer of the Vanguard, naturally, it was decided to put a new unit on the UR-100 until the Sarmat was ready. tests from Dombarovskiy went, so there is a UR-100))). As for the US missile defense, then you are right, they cannot cope with the old warheads either)))

[Petrik66]

Everything is lost? Drain the water? Khodarkovsky for president, Putin and his gang in The Hague?
Or will we arrange a procession with the cross to the Ukrainian embassy with repentance, and then to the Lithuanian and Latvian ones? are our tanks rusty boxes? Have the missiles rotted long ago due to the lack of Ukrainian spare parts? And the best weapon of the red commander is a PM to shoot himself?

[Tcheluskin]

And what is the "Vanguard problem"? That before the Americans could not shoot down most of the 6 warheads of the UR-100N UTTH missile, that now they cannot shoot down one more powerful Vanguard.

[kris_67]

"now they cannot bring down one more powerful Vanguard" - did the Americans tell you?

Arms Race - 2, let's see who has more money.

The US has more. In addition, judging by the articles, they are preparing for this process in detail, developing a new concept for the accelerated development of high-tech products. If they succeed, then Russia will merge this race, like the previous one, either by an economic collapse or by a gradual lag in all directions.

[Grazdanin]

They have an extremely systematic approach. Now 6 programs are running simultaneously. This means that in each program several weapons systems are developed.

[spectr]

It is understandable that finance allows a large number of expensive developments to be carried out simultaneously. It's just that I got the impression that the warriors are now trying to combine two polokho compatible parameters over the hill. Reduce deadlines and at the same time increase the number of "good" projects.
In Russia, they are trying to solve this in the old fashioned way "to squeeze some organs in a vice for developers." In the United States, they are trying to develop proposals so that developers have the opportunity to avoid this unpleasant procedure.

There is nothing strategic here. Well, except that the Virginia nuclear submarine can be ranked as a semi-strategic one, in which the rubber outer skin falls off. They still do not have a new aircraft carrier, although it was laid down 15 years ago. The F-35 is like a raw turkey that does not meet modern requirements (1000 flaws, 100 of which are critical - this is serious!).

And the systematic destruction of manufacturers / designers. This also includes Skrdyukov's obsessive desire to "combine" all the aircraft-helicopter design bureaus into one, and today's news about claims against shipbuilders for shifts in timelines beyond their control (the delay in delivery associated with the Navy parade, the World Cup and engine supplies was hanged on shipbuilders), and other stuff. At the same time, we are withdrawing money over the hill (according to Glazyev's estimates, the amount of eaten money is close to a trillion dollars - how many weapons could we create with this money?). We help banks, kaa the most in need - a trillion rubles in the banking sector is entered with enviable regularity. And then banks with this money either buy up foreign currency, aggravating the crisis in the Russian Federation and accelerating the fall of the ruble, or they (state money!) Lend them at interest to the executors of government contracts who are forced to take out loans, because the projects ordered by the state customer are not properly funded ... And so on, so on.
So here and besides the difference in economic development, there is a mountain of problems.

They were not put into service in connection with the appearance of the Vanguard - they were already standing. It was on them that the Vanguards were installed and this is a big difference.

There is a big difference between a thermonuclear explosion and a release from a reactor, after a thermonuclear explosion, soldiers can be sent in half an hour, and the reactor's emissions live for tens of thousands of years, almost all plutonium burns out during a thermonuclear fusion, the contamination will be, but minimal, mainly from induced radiation

[garri-lin]

Here on parallel branches this was discussed. If you bang a couple of hundred kilotons near the reactors, then the infection will be tens of times greater than Chernobyl. One warhead can make half of Europe uninhabitable.

[KCA]

Not every reactor can be blown up with hundreds of kilotons, for example, we have a reactor that is no longer working, the walls of a building are 3 meters thick of cast concrete, if there is an air explosion, nichrome will not happen to the reactor

Back in the days of the USSR, I read in the journal Science and Life about the tests of the reactor building by a Boeing 707 hit, with a photo, did not shmogli

If 200 kilotons arrive at the NPP, the impact will be complex. And from the blast wave. And a seismic shock. And fires. And disconnection, and a sharp one, of the load. There will be damage. And at the same time, there will be no forces and means to eliminate the consequences. There will be no resources. Even if the protective domes are resistant, there may be problems.

Why not after burying?

[KCA]

I don't think that the BB of a strategic missile with hypersonic speed can go deep and not collapse, this is not GBU-28, where the mass of cast iron is 10 times more than a warhead, 2 tons

[garri-lin]

I'll tell you a secret. A nuclear warhead is most of all similar in structure to cast iron. Recessed warheads are available. They hit the mines like that.

[KCA]

Models of BB rockets are shown constantly, maybe not entirely true, but clearly not weighing 2300kg for penetration, "Topol" throws 1200kg, this is BB and a bus, and false targets, what remains on the BB itself? The CH charge is not hexogen with aluminum powder, the detonation system is a little more complicated there, if the CH BB lands on the ground and goes deep at a speed of 7 MAX, will it work? Or will it fall apart? It is possible to create a BB, say, from tungsten carbide, but in comparison with the 1420th TY charges in Russia this is laughter, well, 1-2-3 mines will be destroyed, but in response what?

[garri-lin]

A lot of weight is not needed. Small warheads go deep too. They will hit the mines and bunkers like that.

[KCA]

Above the mines there are shrapnel installations, just in case of an attack on the mine, the missiles hang on shock absorbers, I don’t know how much pressure the cover can withstand, the mines are not dug one at a time, but for a whole regiment of the Strategic Missile Forces, and, again, no one has KVOs for ballistic missiles did not cancel where and how it will go deep, the question

[garri-lin]

Tobish 200 kilotons what is it you don’t understand?

And yes. KVO modern Russian warheads 200-300 meters. When a standard 550 kiloton warhead explodes, a plasma ball with a diameter of 500 meters is formed.
3 meters of concrete for a nuclear explosion is nothing if the air explosion is at least 300 meters from the shelter.

[KCA]

The cover of the mine of a strategic missile is much less than 3 meters thick, but it is designed for an air thermonuclear explosion, and moreover, in the event of failure of the mechanisms, it is fired by squibs by 20 meters, so that a cast reinforced concrete structure can only be destroyed by a direct hit, or by placing point charges in places of maximum tension, but that's a different song

Google it - explosive deuterium energy.
In this project it is supposed to be used as protection against only 10 kt explosion, a wall of 25 meters! reinforced concrete. Plus, the side that will face the explosion is additionally laid out 40 cm! steel plates. The explosion should take place 200 meters from the wall. The charge at the moment of detonation must be surrounded by hundreds of tons of liquid sodium. Liquid sodium at times softens the effects of an explosion on a wall. If there is no liquid sodium, the very first explosion will cause irreversible changes to the wall. And the exploitation of the wall will become impossible. Although it will not be completely destroyed.
Now imagine a 55 times charge! more powerful. And instead of 25 meters of concrete + 40 cm of steel + the damping effect of hundreds of tons of liquid sodium - only 3 meters of concrete. And you will understand that in these conditions, from 3 meters of concrete, there will be no more benefit than from a sheet of paper.
Oh yes. The cover for mine rockets is made of steel. And 60 cm of alloy steel surpasses 3 meters of concrete in strength.

They are looking for an opportunity to bang and NOT get an answer.

In fact, they are simply afraid. It has long been clear that even 1-2 missiles will bring unacceptable damage, and if instead of Russia there is a radioactive desert, then Europe and the United States will also be crappy. Therefore, it is better to choke the enemy with sanctions and a fifth column. Well, in local conflicts Yao most likely they will not use it. didn’t use it in Syria and in the Yom Kippur War. in fact, the United States is afraid of WMD falling into the hands of terrorists. because a test tube with plague or anthrax can be carried anywhere

[Alexander I]

Now wars are carried out by completely different methods and so far they are winning. Ukraine, now Belarus and no missiles and tanks, and Russia is being pressed by economic and internal conflicts

[KCA]

What internal conflicts are there in Russia? I have lived here for a long time, not everyone lives up to my age, I have not encountered conflicts

[2 Level Advisor]

I agree that at present they have no need to strike at us with nuclear weapons ... What is at least one reason? Prevent the spread of communism across the Earth? Get the resources that we already sell? Capture territories? what for? Now there is really a world economic war, and we are losing in it so far - with a devastating score ... so what is the need for them to move into the plane of a classical war, and even more so a nuclear one ..

[Ross xnumx]

Intercontinental missiles were invented as a means of delivering nuclear weapons. It's strange to read:

Several third countries considers such weapons a threat to their securityrequiring an appropriate response.

And who for the first time and in the existing exclusivity used nuclear weapons against other countries and peoples? And then - they were concerned ... This is the Russian answer to the recommendations: "How to quickly die without waiting for the results of the use of nuclear weapons against others."
Sit there, across the ocean and think ...

[Cowbra]

First, the whole point of creating the Vanguards and Poseidons is just an asymmetric answer. The vanguard ONCE made the entire US missile defense system a fiction, for which they ditched a lot of money, incl. in Europe, Poseidon made no sense of all superiority at sea. Russia, without getting involved in an arms race, where we will lose, has put the United States in cancer. who threw a lot of money down the drain and now pretend that they have plasticine in their pants.
Tales about the fact that "we will answer ... to the vanguard ... sea missiles ..." Even the sect of Saint Mask should be rzhach - the Russian Federation is simply unable to wage an offensive war against the United States. so the Vanguard is not a weapon of invasion, but of defense. So the United States does not have an answer to the Vanguard, the answer could be some kind of anti-avant-garde missile defense systems, which would theoretically enable the United States to deliver an unanswered strike against the Russian Federation. But the Vanguard at once cancels out the entire strategy of US domination. At any moment, any target in the United States of the Russian Federation is able to hit, and there is nothing to answer

[Zaurbek]

The answer may be some kind of space systems firing past the early warning system

[Cowbra]

... on a rocket flying with hypersound in the atmosphere and maneuvering?))) Exactly for the same reason, it is inaccessible from the ground, for which it is from space

[Zaurbek]

In the places of basing and that would not be seen by the early warning radars. If the Russian Federation releases everything, even old missiles, there will be a bad ending anyway. The point is to disarm the main amount and prevent it from flying.

[Cowbra]

Well, they have a drone flying in orbit now. But this will be a violation of international conventions on the demilitarization of outer space - one, and two - not much of the fact that they will be able to block or even find all the bases of the Vanguards. However, even this is unimportant - it does not negate the fact that the entire missile defense system, together with the deployment in Europe, became money at once. thrown into nowhere

[Zaurbek]

Yes, spending on missile defense is in the trash (although technology will help against third countries) .... and a new missile defense system is becoming more difficult and more expensive than a complex one.

[Passing]

Quote: Cowbra

this would be a violation of international conventions on the demilitarization of outer space

This treaty prohibits only nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction in outer space. Nothing prevents the use of anti-bunker bombs specially created for the shuttle that has been on duty in orbit for years for a disarming strike on our silos, and on mobile ones too. On the prototype x-37 and is working out the strike space fighter, which will provide their concept of "Rapid Global Strike" within an hour on any point on the earth.

Quote: Cowbra

And the further development of the X-37 will make the entire ground component of Russia's strategic nuclear forces fictitious, together with the Vanguard and any other, arbitrarily revolutionary developments.
Actually, this is why the Americans are not worried about missile defense, they have already calculated and adopted the most economical and effective version of their absolute superiority, and this is not a missile defense, this is a "Rapid Global Strike". BSU. Forget about missile defense, it is only to divert our and Chinese resources and attention from the true threat.

I doubt it) This is exactly prohibitively expensive, about like sticking ABM missiles at the border.
Again. the strategy is not to deliver a disarming blow, but to deliver a NON-RESPONSE blow. Ch-37 was originally considered as an ELEMENT of the BSU, aimed at command. And there can be 1-2 such drones, well, three - which is clearly not enough for all the squadrons. And the finished missile defense was supposed to cope with the ICBM, now it will not cope

[Passing]

It's prohibitively expensive about the Space Shuttle. For a pioneer, and in general 100 tons into orbit cannot be cheap. But ten to twenty tons, which have been hanging in orbit for years, is quite acceptable money, especially in light of the successes in dramatically reducing the cost of launches by the notorious Musk. So they can quite count on dozens of devices.

Quote: Cowbra

Ch-37 was originally considered as an ELEMENT of the BSU, aimed at command.

Given its low carrying capacity, only for single purposes, such as a command post, it can be adapted. But do not forget that the X-37 is a test of the pen, a test of practical feasibility. A real breakthrough unmanned striker will be built behind it, with stealth, mega sensors and large ammunition.

[Cowbra]

Firstly, not by Musk, but by NASA and the Pentagon, in fact, this is not even hiding. Why is the rocket called that? Because she is the carrier for the fucking Falcon DAPRA Project program, which, by the way, includes the X-37, namely BSU.

Here they grabbed this stealth, like a shag))) What the fuck is stealth in space? !!!
* The vacuum has the highest possible transparency.
* The background is either 4K (relict) or predictable (stars).
* A ship inevitably emits heat generated inside it and reflects or re-emits sunlight. Especially when he maneuvers.
* The sensitivity of modern telescopes is enough to take a picture of Voyager beyond Pluto's orbit.
And further -

It's prohibitively expensive about the Space Shuttle. For a pioneer, and in general 100 tons into orbit cannot be cheap.

And why is nobody building a "second mover"? For nichrome is not cheap! And about the carrying capacity - it is the Falcon designed for the needs of the Pentagon that flies with a 10% load commercially - 2,5 tons versus 22 carrying capacity - commerce does not need as much as the warriors. And yet, it is expensive not to launch, expensive - the drone itself, control, guidance, weapons, maintenance. And just prohibitively expensive, because there will not be dozens of them, this is not even a "golden bomber" Bi-2

[Passing]

Quote: Cowbra

You are encroaching on holy things. The same as saying that not Korolev, but the Politburo and the Ministry of Defense (or whatever it was called then). Formally correct, but in fact the work is done by specific people who work for Musk, not for the Pentagon. Moreover, well-motivated by Musk, people work for an idea (in American transcription - for a portfolio, for a career), and not for money.

Quote: Cowbra

Why is the rocket called that?

Because Eagle was left in reserve, for an even cooler rocket.)))
And for a hypersonic warhead for BGU, civilian missiles are not an option, only mine, so Musk is all in white here.)))
And the X-37 was created long before Falcon DAPRA Projec, so who is where it is is still a question.

Quote: Cowbra

What the fuck is stealth in space ?!

Yes, the best possible. It is in space. Because:
1) Between the observer and the vacuum, there is guaranteed to be a thick-thick layer of the atmosphere, which is full of all sorts of opaque objects, such as clouds, including high-altitude pyerous ones, which ordinary aircraft do not hide, and all this is optically unstable, "flickers" due to fluctuations of the atmosphere.
2) On the background of the galaxy in 4K on violet, because it is negligible in comparison with the rest.
And the thermal background will mainly be set by the hot atmosphere of the Earth, which has a complex sawtooth temperature gradient from altitude, and at an altitude the temperature is higher than at the ground and reaches 50 degrees Celsius per 150 km. Plus the brightest spots from clouds, including high-altitude ones, plus fluctuations of radiation from an icy suspension outside the clouds, plus dust, plus from the "solar wind" on magnetic lines, plus 300000 pieces of space debris continuously moving, plus billions of stars continuously "twinkling" in the atmosphere and creating a background noise for recognition systems of insurmountable complexity.
Against this background, any thermal radiation of the device from the operating electronics will be lost. Let me remind you that modern satellites have an unheated filling, i.e. heat up exactly as much as consumed energy. How much does a running computer consume, a dozen or so watts? At night, it is simply unrealistic to find a non-stealth device in orbit by its own thermal radiation (unless it is a telecommunications satellite with kilowatt radio transmitters). When the Sun heats up the device, of course, a problem arises, but for this stealth is needed, for example, we reflect the solar radiation with a mirror plane, or on the night side we open a cold "umbrella" towards the Earth, which closes the device heated by the Sun. And on the daytime side, for example, we accumulate heat inside the device, and on the nighttime side we release it under the cover of an "umbrella". There are enough options for invisibility in the IR range.

Quote: Cowbra

The sensitivity of modern telescopes is enough to take a picture of Voyager beyond Pluto's orbit.

IMHO, you confuse, everything was exactly the opposite, not from Voyager's Earth, but from Voyager's Earth. Such a small nuance. However, it makes no difference. I was talking about stealth, black paint will perfectly solve the problem in the visible range. I have already told about IK above.

Quote: Cowbra

And why is nobody building a "second mover"?

And what is the X-37?

Quote: Cowbra

And just prohibitively expensive, because there will not be dozens of them,

It is prohibitively expensive in our understanding, but for a mad dog a hundred miles is not a hook. The Americans are not much bothered by the 3 billion Zumvolt, plus the life cycle cost of 4 billion 7 billion for a ship that is not really needed in practice, solving the purely symbolic task of keeping the flag of the world leader in the ocean.
And you say that the means of absolute domination in the form of fifty orbital strikers does not cost any money? Yes, it's funny, money, it's just cut paper, and world domination is a means to sell that very cut paper (I exaggerate, the sale of candy wrappers is deeply secondary here), and to ensure the highest standard of living now (not only in the material sense), plus provide yourself with a historical perspective ... The choice is obvious.

[Cowbra]

Fir-trees, on Earth, all detection has long been built on satellites, do you think that it is logical to track targets in space from Earth ?! And what for? Scratch your right ear with your left hand ...
About expensive. So that's it, the United States ran into a threshold - it is ALREADY too expensive to maintain even the ILC - and it was cut. Zamvolty have already been in the past together with the F-35, judging by the fact that the F-15 was resumed to rivet and in general Super Tucano went. The money turned out to be not endless, even if it is cut paper, but there is not enough paper either. If LCS has already cut half of it, I do not care about image losses - because there is no money for them. So I stand by my opinion

[Passing]

Suppose that stealth will not work well for an observer from a higher orbit, such as less interference, it is more difficult to cover the vehicle from different angles. It seems like tracking from space looks good in theory, but so that the underlying surface of the earth does not interfere with the observation, so that the background remains stable, and does not "fly" at a speed of several kilometers per second, which is important for the radical simplification of automated recognition against the background of the Earth, you will have to observe from geostationary orbit, from 36000 km. And then a small but unpleasant nuance appears, well, as usual it happens in reality. And it is called the resolution. Let's consider specifically for optics. For 10 cm optics, the resolution will be around 175 meters. For meter optics, conditionally 17,5 meters. This is physics. Those. absolutely any body in low orbit will look like a point. And go and figure out what exactly appeared there in orbit, if the students are indulging, they launched a couple of dozen microsatellites, or the combat system is being deployed.

[KCA]

Satellites tend to move in orbit around the Earth, one flight of an hour and a half, and it is unrealistic to shoot missiles from a geostationary orbit, the range of 38 km is not small, satellites fly in spaced orbits so as not to collide, one missile from the Kh-000 will cause a retaliatory strike, by all means and by means, this is a satellite in the cinema, always at the right time in the right place

[Passing]

What kind of retaliation? We are talking about a preventive, disarming strike. No single rocket. At a strictly scheduled time, from low orbit, there will be a massive launch of relatively cheap "bombs" at mines and other objects. Then there will be nothing to answer.

[Cowbra]

Quote: Passing by

S-s-s ... Read at least Clark. "You can't drop anything from orbit" !!! Not bombs. and rockets, and with a powerful engine to extinguish the space speed in orbit, and with a complex and expensive system - stabilization and guidance

[Passing]

Imagine, I can do that too, s-s-s ... you seem to have mastered Clark with difficulty, because it's too difficult, and on the wave of your intellectual super-effort you think that the men don't even know ...
Imagine, I have an education about missiles and airplanes, so I am well informed, but I am not writing a verbatim dissertation, but relatively quick comments on a topic where you involuntarily write easier to save time and printed signs.

[Cowbra]

It is clear, after you were pointed out to your incompetence, you did not find anything smarter than writing nonsense. And further. Clarke was very well versed in space mechanics, and the geostationary orbit is not accidentally called Clark's orbit.

[Passing]

Quote: Cowbra

after being pointed out to you about your incompetence, you did not find anything smarter than writing nonsense.

It's just amazing, they thought it up themselves, they laughed themselves. Bravo, you are on the right path of the Internet troll!
Now to the facts. My direct quote:

there will be a massive launch of relatively cheap "bombs" at mines and other objects.

First, notice the word launch. Do not shoot, do not throw. You can only launch something that has a mover.
Secondly, a bomb means an ammunition that is free falling along a ballistic trajectory. Notice the quotation marks in the word "bomb". Why do you think I put these words in quotation marks, if I meant that the bomb would fall freely? Do you know there are rocket-powered gliding bombs?
I'll give you a free tip to help you not look ... um ... weird in the eyes of an opponent. Other people may have a different context than yours. For you who studied the mechanics of space flight according to Clark, mentioning the word bomb in the context of space is one layer of knowledge, but for someone who studied space professionally, it is completely different. And before you cheerfully rush to expose someone's ignorance, carefully read the opponent's message for nuances that are incomprehensible to you, perhaps it is there that something that is not obvious to you at first glance is hidden.

[Cowbra]

Already by the fact that you piled above about a 10-ton shuttle with a load - all 10 tons, and below - about 10 bombs per shuttle - it is clear that you did not mean rockets, and now you are trying to get out of that puddle in a frying pan. which they imprisoned themselves. And once again, for "according to Clarke" - the geostationary orbit was so called by people who understand YOU clearly better.
In parting, I will say that your attempts to OIL from the outside look just pathetic.

[Passing]

Quote: Cowbra

Why should I spin in a frying pan, my position as it was and remains unchanged. "Bombs", not rockets, because in the context of my baggage of knowledge, rockets are pointlessly redundant here. The function of the rocket, to deliver the "bomb" (warhead) to the launch point, is taken by the shuttle itself.

Quote: Cowbra

In parting, I will say that your attempts to OIL from the outside look just pathetic.

Mmm .. it seemed like I was leading the usual discussion, brought my arguments to yours, there was a typical such dispute, and suddenly you just started to drown in the style of yourself ... Well, if you persistently translate the discus to personalities ... I already said that you look strange? A person who pokes his finger at me invented flaws himself messes up in a big way, at least in four points:
1) About the Mask and the Pentagon. NASA, let it be with a stretch.
2) about the Falcon DAPRA Project, which was supposedly planned to be based on the Musk rocket, is generally beyond the bounds. The meaning of the venture is to defeat any target within an hour from the receipt of the command. What a nafig start from the launch pad, preparation for the start there lasts days and weeks! Only a mine-based, or sea-based BR, there can be no other options.
3) About the Falcon DAPRA Project, which supposedly meant the creation of the X-37, although the latter was already tested when the Falcon DAPRA Project was just being formed.
4) About the geostationary orbit named after the outstanding scientist Clark. Clarke was a writer though. He was not a scientist, he did not have scientific papers, and where did they come from, he did not even have a higher education. And the scientist who suggested using the geostationary orbit was Tsiolkovsky. And Clark is honored for popularizing space, deservedly so. But not for his scientific contributions.
These are only obvious, 100% facts. I have already spoken about your other theses, they are at least controversial, i.e. debated. But, it is pointless to discuss with a person who is not capable of a civilized discussion.

[garri-lin]

Their patrol zones are rather limited. In the event of an aggravation of the situation to such a critical situation, it is quite possible to begin to "pollute" the space with those very pair of buckets with nuts. The militarization of outer space will trigger a response in any case. Because this is really a pistol at the temple and will fight with this ultimatum.

[Passing]

Are you serious? Now a critical situation has come, and you propose to launch a preemptive strike and to take all satellites out of orbit? And theirs and others? Is this your plan for victory? Do you understand that after that, all those who have nuclear weapons will immediately use them, without options? Those. Based on your strategy, virtually any crisis will 100% end in a world massacre, and Russia will be the culprit in unleashing it. You have a funny plan, Doctor Evil is spinning in his coffin with envy.

[garri-lin]

If you have a 24/7 warhead hanging over you with which you cannot do anything, then the war has already begun and, moreover, is lost. There is nothing to do here.

[CBR600]

And the further development of the Kh-37 will make the entire ground component of the Russian strategic nuclear forces a fiction

Launching this fool will remain a study. 1 ton of payload. How many tons do you need to destroy the strategic nuclear forces of Russia? Are you seriously? By the way, this is our Bor project, which the states licked up. And, excuse me, are you sure that Russia does not have such a program? Bohr flew (according to words, it is true) in the 60s, in parallel with Gagarin. And this is not just an apparatus, it is a system complex, by the way.

[Passing]

Quote: CBR600

How many tons do you need to destroy the strategic nuclear forces of Russia? Are you seriously?

We have 100 mine rockets and 200 mobile ones. A total of some pitiful 300 orbital bombs for the land component. Let's say 10 bombs per shuttle. In total, 30 shuttles are needed. Ridiculously small for a task of this level.

Quote: CBR600

Are you sure that Russia does not have such a program?

I'm sure I'm sure. With space programs, everything is very sad for us, and it would be fine if there was a vital necessity, as with ballistic missiles and or the Vanguard, since we actually do not need a space striker, we do not plan a preemptive strike, we have a defense strategy.

[KCA]

What's sad about military space? I don’t remember a single unsuccessful launch, but few know what is being launched into orbit.

[Passing]

Precisely because few know, and do not remember. But something is slipping, for example there was at one time a massive failure of the Glonass satellites. As a result, full coverage of the Earth came several years later than planned. Liana could not be finished. Although they have been sawing since the 90s. So it flies without a radar component, and the system is vital for the fleet, without it, the fight against AUG looks difficult to implement, although I'm not a pro here, maybe there are tricky options with an air control center for anti-ship missiles. And the cherry on the cake is our images from military optical reconnaissance satellites. They were presented to the public during the events in Ukraine. The quality is not very good, to put it mildly, the resolution is optimistic about a meter, although in the West it has already reached 30 cm (EMNIP), and in the civil sector.

[KCA]

The USSR successfully tested the satellite-1 fighter, now the mattresses are howling about the research satellites, how many are launched, how many can be launched, 100 grams of TNT is enough to damage the X-37, or its analog, any crap in orbit is under observation , and we, and the mattresses, if it is known that the X-37 is a carrier of TNW, "researchers" will immediately hang on it

[Ros 56]

On the pages of newspapers and the Internet, you can talk as much as you like about the advantages and disadvantages of this or that weapon, as well as its owners. But experience says that this is all nonsense, how it will actually be nobody can say.
For example, the USSR in June 41 had more than 20 thousand tanks, the Germans attacked the pass with about 4 thousand tanks, and not of the best quality. In terms of airplanes, roughly speaking, roughly equal positions, in terms of human resources, about the same story. And according to the results of the first three months of battles, it was possible to raise paws at all, but it was not of course, as a result, Germany fell and its flags were thrown to the foot of the Mausoleum.
So this Peter, whose he is there he can joke about as much as he wants, but the West must understand that there will be no Russia, there will be none of them, from the word at all.

[Zaurbek]

Now there is no superiority either in people, or in the amount of weapons, or in industry, or in the depths of the territory .... But there is nuclear weapons.

[Ros 56]

The General Staff probably shared information with you, well, how do you know what anyone has? I’m guessing, although I could be wrong, if something is shown to the general public, then there is something in the bastard.

[Zaurbek]

Well, there is the size of the army and the population ..... and there is the enemy .... They have a NATO standard, we have our standard.

[Ros 56]

When you learn to think, and not theorize templates. In October-November 1941, you could raise your paws and surrender, everything was for the Germans, they looked at Moscow through binoculars, and what happened in the end?

Then there was an army larger than that of the Germans .... there were rear areas .... established production in Siberia.

Yes, it's easier to put your people in leadership positions. Less money will be needed. I'm convinced that our fifth column is not sickly and it is worth the Americans to redirect financial flows a little as in 20 years they will have their own president. Then our government also contributes to its financial and national policies.

[Zaurbek]

The United States has a bunch of tools for attack and response without such missiles ..... Just a diagram:
1.mass and pinpoint strike against mines and launchers
2. Completed that that took off on the accelerating trajectory
3. Finished shooting of falling warheads

With new systems, it ceases to be at least somehow realistic. The realization comes that it will arrive anyway. So they are revising the schemes.

[Volder]

Quote: Zaurbek

1.mass and pinpoint strike against mines and launchers

Our mines are now well protected, not 1-2, but several missiles will be needed to destroy one mine. And where does the mass character come from? The dead end will overstrain to ensure this mass character.

2. Completed that that took off on the accelerating trajectory

How to provide it ?? Where should anti-missile missiles be launched from in order to shoot down on the booster section? Obviously not 1000 km away. At the same time, we have mines in the depths of the country ...

3. Finished shooting of falling warheads

They fall at hypersonic speed, i.e. it is impossible to bring down. And they fly to the goal, actively maneuvering. The American missile defense system is incapable of shooting down maneuvering blocks.
PS I'm talking about ICBMs "Topol", "Yars", "Voevoda", "Sarmat", "Bulava".

[Zaurbek]

1.According to their standards, everything about everything requires about 7000-10000 kr and highly accurate MRBM.
2.And they will finish shooting Aegis from Europe and from the seas. The new missiles have a reach of almost 1.5-2000 km. And the warheads will catch THAAD

[Volder]

Quote: Zaurbek

1.According to their standards, everything about everything requires about 7000-10000 kr and highly accurate MRBM.

God, how far you are from the real state of affairs ... Where are the 10 thousand CDs ?? There won't be enough carriers. The maximum that they can scrape together is 3000 KR, and even then on condition that their carriers freely approach the shores of the Russian Federation.

2.And they will finish shooting Aegis from Europe and from the seas. The new missiles have a reach of almost 1.5-2000 km.

Thank you, amused. We have ICBM mines, I repeat, NOT on the coast, but in the depths of the Russian Federation. Imagine the distance in your mind, or take a ruler and map. In order for Aegis to shoot down ICBMs at the acceleration stage, these Aegis must be located right on the Russian coast. Question: will Russia let the Aegis carriers go straight to the shore? Stationary installations in Europe will also fall short of response times. By the way, can Aegis interceptor missiles shoot down maneuvering missiles with not yet separated blocks? Answer yourself, I know the answer.

And the warheads will catch THAAD

No, they won't. Again, due to the maneuvering properties and high speed.

[Zaurbek]

Missile defense is progressing in terms of range. And they do not stand everywhere where they can stand .... and in the wrong quantities. In Romania and Poland, trial ones are already .. There is Ukraine .... Belarus and the USSR / RF with revolutions and wars 4 times in 100 years. Naturally, no one will tempt fate against the modern Russian Federation. And against the Russian 90s? With the oligarchs?

Exactly, and the rest will sit and wait for the striped ones to start everything.

[voyaka uh]

It does not seem that the Americans are preparing some kind of breakthrough in the ICBM.
And they will not copy the Vanguard.
They focused on medium-range missiles and tactical missiles. Including with planning warheads.
To deal with China from the Pacific without hurting Russia.
In aviation, it seems, the United States is preparing a technological breakthrough: high-speed methods of designing and producing combat aircraft.

aircraft ... drones (read "terminators"). Affects not only the air environment.

[voyaka uh]

Not just drones. Let's see how the production of the Raider bomber develops. They set a record time for its release. The prototype has not yet taken off, and a brand new assembly plant is already under construction.
This is very unusual.

At the end of 2018, R&D began, and this month it has already completed 100 flights. Two years!
And this is a full-fledged jet fighter. Although educational.

[Grazdanin]

This is especially true for drones. In the United States, there are now dozens of programs for different types of aircraft, all have their own requirements, all put 23-24 years as the appearance of pre-production samples. Companies that can deal with more UAVs, the entry threshold is lower. The same Kratos is the same age as SpaceX.

[Zaurbek]

This will provoke MRBM in the RF Far East ..... with any planners and without BG. But already with a range to the USA.

[voyaka uh]

Before the USA - only ICBMs. Except Alaska.
MRBM - up to 5500 km.
From Kamchatka to California - 6500 km

Yes. But the bases on which the fleet and bombers are closer and they also need to be hit

PBC "Avangard" (adopted in December 2019 as part of the UR-100N UTTH complex), moving in the upper atmosphere (80-120 km) completely nullifies the existing American missile defense system, built on transatmospheric kinetic interceptors with infrared homing (lower boundary interception 130 km).

As a result, the Americans need to at least invest in the development, production and deployment of a second missile defense system with atmospheric interceptors with radio command guidance.

[Dmitry Vladimirovich]

break through the existing missile defense system and hit objects of strategic importance

and how does this affect nuclear parity? No way ...

the Russian armed forces in terms of promising developments bypassed the most developed foreign army

Good - once again celebrated this event. How does the Avangard complex affect a retaliatory nuclear strike? No way ...

the latest complex significantly affects the capabilities of the strategic nuclear forces

A naive delusion: one complex - one maneuvering block, one target. One protected target can be hit and ... this does not change anything in the containment strategy (hostage cities), does not prevent a retaliatory strike in any way.

A similar complex with a "traditional filling" carries 10 non-maneuvering blocks, at least the same number of quasi-heavy LCs - capable of destroying a large metropolis with suburbs and major enterprises - the strategy of "hostage cities" has not gone anywhere.

Every time the United States tried to drag it into an arms race, it ended with a recovery in its economy, another strengthening of the United States, and the collapse of its rivals.
This was the case in WWI, WWII, and the Cold War. I think the current leadership of Russia understands this well and does not pretend to make a fourth attempt, and all these reports to the sound of panfares about the next "conciliatory" wunderwaffe are intended exclusively for domestic consumption. Well, the Americans are not without benefit, sometimes torment their average person.

A massive strike of the triad does not hold the missile defense of either a potential enemy or ours. This has long been known, in fact, why in the 90s they abandoned the PKB (now Avangard).

America is hopelessly behind Russia in this respect,
while they tried to otmaidan Russia following the example of Ukraine,
- Russia created real weapons.

D. Trump's "super-duper-rocket" that made a lot of noise is in the section of "myths and tales of the redhead"
Otherwise, the statement that mattresses will not allow someone to get ahead sounds very funny. They will sniff the dust for another 30 years.

Our mines are now well protected, we will need not 1-2, but several missiles to destroy one mine.

Protected in the same way as previously protected. Nobody brought the security of the silo for "Topol-M" to the level of silo "Voevoda". so that the bulk is designed to defeat conditionally 1-2 BB

Quote: Volder

They fall at hypersonic speed, i.e. it is impossible to bring down. And they fly to the goal, actively maneuvering. The American missile defense system is incapable of shooting down maneuvering blocks.
PS I'm talking about ICBMs "Topol", "Yars", "Voevoda", "Sarmat", "Bulava".

That is, the A-135M system is actually a fiction and is not capable of shooting down American BB, albeit in limited quantities? Do not forget that the blocks only enter the atmosphere at hypersonic speed. And they tend to slow down in the atmosphere. It is on this that the principle of selection of false blocks is based, when light LCs are inhibited faster than heavy ones.

I have not yet learned how to shoot down the maneuvering units of ANY missile defense system, since they have NEVER been shot down. As for actively maneuvering BB of existing ICBMs - leave this statement on the conscience of those murziloks who write this. They tried to test maneuvering warheads at Voevoda, but after four tests the program was closed. At the same time, the maneuvering unit itself was much larger in size than the uncontrolled Voevoda combat unit.
"Topol" maneuvering blocks. which is almost removed from service and its units are developed in the early-mid 80s - this is of course creative, but does not correspond to realities. As well as the existing BB "Yarsa". In the future, if the Anchar-RV program is brought to series, then it is quite possible that the maneuvering unit will also receive Yars and Bulava. Now they just won't understand them. Well, and "Sarmat" - such a missile has not even been tested yet ...

Even a non-massive blow does not last. EMNIP, then our missile defense system of Mosca, having 100 interceptor missiles, could theoretically intercept up to 32 blocks, coming not simultaneously and not from different directions. In fact, the only missile defense system that exists at the present stage is a missile defense system capable of intercepting a maximum of a medium-range missile, and even then not during a mass launch.

From Chukotka (missile base "Anadyr") to California - just the same 5500 km.

Wake up, Andrey. There has been no etyo base for almost 60 years, and many, like you, dream of a base there. Once and for all, Kazydub proved that placing something there, especially a mobile one, is money into the void. And stationary - to give the opportunity to destroy even at the start

It will take Americans 20-30 years to do this. So let's wait and see how things go. So far, all tests ended in explosions ...

UR100NUTTH, as it were, 30 pieces from Ukraine received dry ones, and how do you know how many of them were put on the database and how many are equipped with the Avangard BB? Are you the commander of the Strategic Missile Forces? Or a super spy? Yes, it got 30 dry, and only 130 after the collapse of the USSR

Actually, the question you are asking, comrade, belongs to the "Open secret" section. Those who try to at least keep themselves informed of the topic of interest to them understand perfectly well that even 2000 dozen "dry" ICBMs transferred to Russia in the early 3s does not mean at all that their number really remains in the region of 30. Even "dry" ICBMs can be recognized as inoperable (individual copies), because even in dry conditions, elements may fail, especially those related to sealing. But that's not even the point.

There is still a START-3 treaty, according to which the Americans and I exchange data on the number of carriers and weapons. And if we do not publish even this in the open press, it does not mean that such materials are not published in the Western. And to take a sheet of paper, a pencil and a calculator and do elementary calculations is not so difficult. And such calculations (also confirmed by Western sources) allow us to conclude

1. In the positional area of ​​the Tatishchevskaya division, where the bulk of the UR-100N UTTKh ICBMs were located, the number of "not deployed" silos of these missiles in 2010 was about 30. The rest of silos were converted to accommodate Topol-M ICBMs. By 2017, the number of "non-deployed" silos in the positional area of ​​this division was reduced to 20, and by 2018 to 10. In addition to them, there were still 2 regiments (20 silos) in the PR of the Kozelsk division, which is now being re-equipped with Yars-M. So elementary calculations show that no silos for UR-100N UTTKh missiles for 2020 are available. There is simply nowhere to deploy such missiles
At the same time, in the positional area of ​​the Yasnenskaya division, work began on the reconstruction of silos from R-36M UTTH missiles to silos for 15A35-71 Avangard missiles. There was open information about this on such a resource as "Goszakupki", where it was said about work on 2 silos in the PR of this division. So far, no more public information on this topic has been found in the public domain.
At the end of 2019, the Supreme Commander spoke about putting into service 2 Avangard complexes. The first regiment should be fully equipped with EMNIP by 2023-3024, and the second regiment by 2027. As a result of the deployment of two regiments, 12 Avangard complexes will be delivered. All. Dot. No other UR-100N UTTH and "Vanguards" can be supplied due to the lack of silos they need. In the first half of 2020, the Strategic Missile Forces received 10 ICBMs. It is unlikely that there is "Vanguard" among them, for it is necessary to re-equip the already rearmed regiments, and "Vanguard" is not in a hurry ...

Forget about 130 UR-1990N UTTH that were in service at the beginning of 100. They have been gone for a long time. Some of them were scrapped, some were used to create the Rokot launch vehicle

The question is, if the United States had an analogue of the Vanguard, would they destroy Russia ?! I think yes. Then why do we sit back and watch these jackals at our borders?!?

Putin's calls?

Read all of his speeches and speeches of the Foreign Ministry over the past few years - they constantly call on the United States to start negotiations. Think of the famous cartoon performance of 2018. Everyone remembers the cartoons, but the point was that they served the purpose so that they (the leadership of the Russian Federation) would finally be listened to.
But, alas, the Americans ignore these appeals completely. But in internal propaganda and for pushing military budgets, the "Russian threat" is now used constantly

Quote: Pilat2009

on the other hand, if the vanguard is not a preemptive strike weapon

Vanguard is a new warhead with a missile defense penetration system. Moreover, there is no rocket for it, so I had to put it on an old, unfilled Soviet rocket 40 years ago, which miraculously survived since it was in reserve in the Ukrainian SSR, and then was transferred to the Russian Federation. This missile can be a weapon of any strike, depending on your goals.

Quote: Pilat2009

what prevents them from covering the mines with a block of 500 kilotons

From a technical point of view, nothing. Again, this is just a new warhead with unknown characteristics. Rockets in Tatishchevo in old mines. The old missiles could theoretically be destroyed as well as the new ones. There is no difference. The sad thing here is that poverty is passed off as a virtue - the launch of two 2-year-old missiles is passed off as an "achievement" (and the notorious American missile defense system would have missed the UR-40 with the old warhead as it would with the new one).
Putting into service and serial production of new Sarmat missiles would be a real achievement and a very important matter for Russia, because our main caliber, the R-36, has long since expired.

! Your opuses are mind-bogglingly stupid in every line! I already answered you about the rocket, but about the block .. Write that this is "just a new block with unknown characteristics" - an apotheosis of stupid anger and stupidity filled with a manual to crap all Soviet and Russian. To name a block that can be controlled in a plasma cavity at a speed of under Mach 30 is just new and no more .. Well, then you just post comments on the forum about Pokemon. And yet the "clever man" weaving it Scalpel is not a means of striking as such - it is a carrier for removing the strike unit, and even with the appearance of Sarmat, weaving will cope with this task faster than it - Sarmat can take more Vanguards' and no more .. "

[shahor]

This is what I don't understand. In the foreseeable future, the possibility of creating systems for intercepting MIRVs that are used today is not seen. Why equip the Vanguard? Wouldn't it have been better to wait until a potential partner spent a lot on the development of means of countering the weapons of the previous generation - and say - and we got what!
