Modernization of the Strategic Missile Forces in 2021

Mobile soil complexes of the Teikovo division, August 2020

The modernization of the strategic missile forces, which are the basis of our strategic nuclear forces, occupies a special place in the current State Armament Programs. To date, it has been possible to carry out a full-fledged rearmament of the mass of the Strategic Missile Forces units and increase their combat effectiveness. In the coming 2021, these processes will continue and will give a new increase in quantitative and qualitative indicators.

Achievements and plans

Actual successes in the direction of rearmament of the strategic nuclear forces and the Strategic Missile Forces were announced on December 21 at an expanded meeting of the Collegium of the Ministry of Defense. President Vladimir Putin said that by mid-December, the share of advanced models in the nuclear forces as a whole had reached 86%.

A few days earlier, Krasnaya Zvezda published an interview with the commander-in-chief of the Strategic Missile Forces, Colonel-General Sergei Karakaev. According to him, the share of modern missile weapons in the troops has reached 81%. New plans have been drawn up and adopted for the further modernization of the Strategic Missile Forces, the implementation of which will lead to an additional increase in such indicators.

Plans for the near future are already known. In general, for strategic nuclear forces, the share of modern weapons in 2021 it will be increased to 88,3%. It is obvious that the modernization of the Strategic Missile Forces will make a decisive contribution to obtaining such results. It was reported that by the end of 2021, the missile forces will again increase the share of modern models, although certain systems of old types will remain in service. In addition, the process of replacing equipment and auxiliary systems will continue.

Abandoning the old

The key element of the Strategic Missile Forces modernization program is the modern Yars missile system in silo and mobile versions. This complex has long gone into series and entered the army, where it replaces the older products of the Topol family. In the near future, the units will completely transfer to the modern Yars - the process of such rearmament has already reached the home stretch.

In mid-December, Colonel-General Karakaev recalled that missile regiments from eight divisions were being transferred to Yars. At the same time, rearmament was carried out in five divisions, and the regiments have already taken up duty with new complexes. Three more receive a new material part. The Barnaul and Bologovskoye units of the Strategic Missile Forces abandon the old Topol and switch to the mobile version of Yars, and the Kozelsk division receives a mine-based complex. These processes will be completed in 2021 with understandable consequences for the state of the Strategic Missile Forces.

Earlier it was reported that to date, at least 150 Yars complexes have been delivered to the Strategic Missile Forces in a mobile and mine version; the number of missiles transferred is significantly higher. It is not known how much materiel is needed to complete the rearmament of the regiments of the three remaining divisions. However, the indicated deadlines for the completion of such work show that most of the measures have already been completed, and the bulk of the required products have been accepted by the troops.

Hypersound at the forefront

In December last year, it became known that two new Avangard missile systems were put on alert. Thanks to this, the total number of deployed complexes reached 4 units. In its current form, the complex is built on the basis of the UR-100N UTTH intercontinental ballistic missile, capable of carrying one hypersonic gliding warhead.

Demining vehicle "Foliage", transferred in 2020 to the Irkutsk missile division

The new "Avangards" belong to one of the regiments of the 13th missile division of the Orenburg Red Banner Strategic Missile Forces. It is already known that in 2021 this regiment will receive and put on duty two more Avangard complexes. This completes its rearmament. In the future, the rearmament of the second regiment of the missile forces will start, on which it is planned to spend several years.

According to the plans of the military department, in the future the Avangard combat unit will be used with the Sarmat heavy ICBM. However, such a complex will be able to enter service only after a few years. To date, throw launches have been carried out, and full flight tests will begin only this year. It takes some time to carry out all the necessary measures, which determines the possible timing of the Sarmat's entry into service - both as an independent weapon and as part of the Avangard complex.

Aids

Along with the missile systems, the Strategic Missile Forces are supplied with samples of a number of other classes. First of all, this is the equipment necessary to ensure the watch and patrol of missile systems. The contours of troop control are also being updated. Fundamentally new weapons systems are being introduced to protect against enemy activity.

Anti-sabotage vehicle "Typhoon-M" accompanies PGRK on the patrol route

In recent years, regiments equipped with mobile ground-based missile systems have received several pieces of equipment to ensure safe patrolling. These are MIOM engineering support and camouflage vehicles, Typhoons-M anti-sabotage vehicles, Foliage remote mine clearance complex, etc. Not all connections have received such equipment in the required quantities, and its deliveries will continue.

Quantitative indicators of such deliveries have not been specified. At the same time, it is known that in 2019-20. troops received several dozen support vehicles annually. Probably, similar rates of rearmament will continue in 2021, which will allow, in a limited time, to increase the safety of missile systems on duty.

Last year, five missile divisions received a fundamentally new weapon - the Peresvet laser systems. Now these products are in experimental military operation and carry out the suppression of enemy reconnaissance in order to conceal the movements of missile systems. It cannot be ruled out that this year the Strategic Missile Forces will receive new models of "Peresvet", which will cover several more missile regiments.

The Peresvet laser complex is one of the most interesting novelties for the Strategic Missile Forces

Development trends

To date, the Strategic Missile Forces and the Strategic Nuclear Forces have achieved record-breaking indicators for the share of modern weapons. At the same time, the Ministry of Defense does not stop there and continues the systematic transfer of missile units to new complexes, and also supplies them with a variety of auxiliary equipment. The gradual introduction of fundamentally new systems, missile and others, is of decisive importance.

However, a complete transition to new models is still a matter of the distant future. The main difficulty in this context is the lack of a ready-made heavy ICBM capable of replacing the cash UR-100N UTTH and R-36M. The new Sarmat complex is expected no earlier than the middle of the decade - and the old missiles will remain on duty until that time. Accordingly, the existing R-36M and UR-100N UTTH will continue to occupy a certain share in the total number of deployed missiles.

In December last year, the degree of novelty of the Strategic Missile Forces' weapons was brought to 81%, and by the end of 2021 this figure needs to be brought to 88,3%. The work and successes of recent years show that obtaining such results is quite realistic. In addition, it should be borne in mind that the modernization of the Strategic Missile Forces will continue further. In the medium term, these processes will make it possible to completely abandon old models and completely switch to modern weapons, which will certainly have a positive impact on national security.

this story refers to Gorbachev's betrayal ... they simply could not understand at that time how to store and dispose of all this (the commissions of the American military visited almost all of our Strategic Missile Forces divisions) ... there was no processing capacity in the world ... but how to destroy missiles / the speakers worked out different methods according to Western recommendations ... the topic was paused and then they could not agree with the new leaders ...

[Bow]

It's not about prudence, but about the heightened sense of peace by the 5th point, which is characteristic of such individuals. I felt ebn that among the security forces (and not only) there might be those who, for an attempt to "reject" nuclear weapons, would still decide on a coup or something like that. And having decided - he will. For the people were fed up with ebn and Co. and would have supported such a movement desperately. It could easily become the last straw.

And tell me, smallogram, what are the advantages of mobile Yars?
It is clear, theoretically, they can leave the garage and drive off a certain distance, safe when hitting the garage.
And practically they always, or almost always live there and will be able to escape only if they know in advance about this blow. That is, this weapon can only be guaranteed to fire if it fires first.
In case of a sudden impact, the missilemen will not even have time to start the engine of the tractor, not to mention even to go to the parade ground in front of the gate and raise the TPK to the starting position. And those garages that are shown on TV are unlikely to protect Yars if Trident arrives.
There is, of course, a patrol mode when missiles go "into the woods" just in case. But how many of these patrolmen are there to retaliate? And with the current cameras and radars on satellites, finding them in the forests is not so difficult. And there the Yars are no longer defenseless not only from nuclear Tridents and Minutemans, but also from TNT Tomahawks.

[Lech from Android.]

Tomahawks have a subsonic speed and in order to fly to the center of Russia they will have to overcome the echeloned defense of the Russian air defense with zero success, I don’t know the secrets of our air defense personnel about the Tridens and Minutemans ... Contact them with this question. just don't be offended if they don't answer you.

What will they have to overcome ??? Layered defense? Oh my God, but they don't even know ...

"garages" are just a shelter, and an early warning system and over-the-horizon radars should inform about the arrival of "trident". It fixes the launches, so they will have time to "start the engines" ... but in general, the Strategic Missile Forces please and warm the soul, against the background of deplorable affairs Navy.

I would like increased attention to the positional areas in the complex.

Taking into account the answers of other members of the forum, I will add:
the presence of mobile complexes makes our sworn partners take into account the mobility and try to either invest in symmetric funds, or develop unprecedented measures to eliminate the threat, or quietly put up and cry into a pillow. It is mobility that introduces entropy - it is difficult to say where the complex is at any given time.
For the same reason, BZHRK is not being developed in vain - it is far from easy to drive primers, but the railway train - even throughout (conventionally, of course, there are enough nuances, but ...) the railway branch of the country is possible, here the strategy of direction of influence even comes into force - I wanted to move closer to Europe, I wanted to closer to the USA.

[Non-fighter]

The war does not start immediately. Before her there is a "threatened period" when they puff out their cheeks and rattle their weapons. During this period, everything that moves is removed from the garages. What does not move is also taken to the nearest forest in tow.
About the BZHRK. The fact that they did not do it right.
The life of the complexes is not less than 30 years, counting from the order to start development until the moment the last product is removed from service. Of these, at least 7-10 years are development, testing, and fine-tuning before they are put into service.
At first. Question: when is the software and hardware complex of potential adversaries able to find locomotives on satellite images and identify the type of cars in the train? In my couch view, "today", the edge of "tomorrow". There is an article next to it - the resolution is 10 cm now for commerce. For governments it is estimated to be about 5 cm. The task is perfectly parallelized and can run on cheap civilian computers. An "extra" locomotive with a refrigerator - here's a sign of intelligence. In the end, when the locomotives are framed, you can manually look at the train.
Secondly, on the ground, the main unmasking feature is a railway worker who is swearing after. Yes, we haven’t defeated gravity yet: (Remember the 8-axle bogies well? The train may not move on all roads. Okay, now the weight will be reduced to 6 or even 4 axle bogies, but still this is too much. Further, the train must move along common Great, the entire dispatching service knows where and when the "letter" train will pass. Here's a leak, you can't put an FSB officer on every railroad worker.

1. Accidental launch of nuclear weapons, possibly even massive, not a single one;
2. Rapid seizure of power by radicals in any country with full access to nuclear weapons and their instant use;

And you can rattle in different ways ...

At the expense of BZHRK. I agree, sooner or later a network of satellites and information recognition means
will lead to the fact that individual countries will be able to see the entire planet (and not only) in a real-time strategy, but also AI will be able to calculate all the options and guess the right moment for any sophistication. Now there is no such thing. So even one BZHRK, which is periodically caught and knows where it is, is still a threat. And just knowing is not enough.
In 10 minutes he will be in a different place, and nothing has learned to fly faster than 10 minutes.

[Non-fighter]

Their missile defense, even in its current state, is capable of intercepting single missiles. Yes, and a dozen goals will break through - it doesn't matter, acceptable damage. BZHRK for movement needs an empty section, its path is predictable. It is possible to retarget the "ax" in flight, and simply run along the paths to reduce mobility. It's easier with PGRK :)

[Flashpoint]

The problem of predictability of railway tracks is well known. But the routes of the primers are always trying to track and build a possible map of their location.
At the expense of their missile defense, I would not be so sure - what, how and how much specialized flies in space - is not known. What "non-traditional" means of interception may be in different countries - no one will tell.
With the retargeting of funds in flight - a separate conversation. It seems to me - there will be nuances.

Kind Konstantin. Dear colleagues, Konstantin asked to explain. And not to sarcastically, while they also threw sleepers. Konstantin, earth complexes alternately, in regiments, constantly on the move (on alert). One regiment in the fields, the second in combat, the third At the same time, the hangars of the launchers themselves with sliding roofs and for launching it takes a few minutes even in the location (if it's easier, right in the unit). During patrolling, the regiment is practically impossible to detect (unless they themselves want to pack) In addition, the launch columns cover the special vehicles that go along other routes. Fully mock the movement of combat systems. At the same time, everyone is being prevented in the long-range air defense zone and under the cover of mobile Armor. I know about exercises in the 90s, when a regimental kit on barges was dragged for two seconds in a week. half a kilometer back and forth. It's kind of simplistic.
Of course, it's great to read and listen to ceremonial reports, but the sediment is exactly the opposite. There is such a small factory VMZ (the so-called missile shield of the motherland). So they began to destroy it with great speed. After the new year, a greater reduction is coming. There are no orders for 21 years yet. All this after the arrival of RosKosmos. The Muskvichs make it clear to the locals that they will build a new plant in the Moscow region and they do not need the VMZ. So Votkinsk is still frozen in prostration and anticipation. And so we ALL JUST INSERT COMRADES.

[2 Level Advisor]

You have everything written about how it should be in theory, but in theory not even the tactics of using the Strategic Missile Forces, but in general - how it should be ideal. In fact, they leave the divisional divisions and not even from each regiment at the same time. + more sadness - there are no mobile shells with them and are not provided, air defense is also not everywhere, like air cover. I have never seen cars representing PUs and they were not told about them at the school .. besides, the road in the positional area, most often one and the other is not provided .. But otherwise you are right .. about the plant ..

[zadorin1974]

The plant is Sadness, Melancholy and Anger. And otherwise, as we were lectured (lecturers from combat units were), I remembered it. For a long time I had to duplicate the cassettes for the design bureau and the plant management after the launches. More than 20 years have passed)))

Taking into account the city-forming enterprise, Bytovukha-washing machines, children's pendants were killed.-500 series machines, vm 129-131 CNC, tsh-everything is in the past (practically. In addition to your operation, there are other famous products. The plant will die, the city will die. If you a real operator, then they should have been aware of where the production came from and the component plant that is practically nearby will also spread rot?

Strollers, washing machines, it seems like noise ... But, in terms of the level of production, components, partly, one could guess about the main products ... Sorry, I don't know the structure, affiliation of the enterprise (yes, there was no question about this before), - Everyone knew, - missiles, - Votkinsk! I can't remember any complaints about the product when I ring up ...
During real launches ("Pioneers", "Topol"), the witness, the participant of which was, - everyone left exactly. Thank you! .. You yourself understand better than me, the products are exclusive, - statistics on the use are fraught with serious expenses ... (damn, -shya everyone translates into loot !!!!) I hope that it will not be worse than in the 88th.
The Chita division was destroyed not by cutting the carriers ("Pioneers"), but by real launches.
It was then that the Americans (there were enough of them at our facilities at that time) got fucked up, all the missiles went off, all were on target, one, however, with a delay in launch. (I can't argue reasonably, but then they said that Sshav's ICBMs launched on time only 50% , of the remaining, about half did not start ...)
If any of the members of the forum has more detailed information, I would be grateful. (Somewhere there are SLIDES from the evening launches of the "Pioneers" of 1988 ...)

Machine tools ??? I saw your rocket-powered machine in 1995. The engine broke down after a couple of months. How it was bought and for how much is a separate song without words. Decent ones. It's also good that the machine was not in my workshop.

[zadorin1974]

Good time Roman. On the account of machine tools I strongly disagree !!! Himself !!!! I assembled with my own hands two series-VM -130 internal (USSR) and VM131 Export. At the end of the eighties, our workshop was practically the coolest according to the VMZ GPO for machine tools park and assembly site. The 95th line of revolving machines was one of the coolest in the union !!! Our small class milling machines did not stay in the warehouse at all. If you spoke for the production of 68 production for that period, one, if for machine tools VMZ- Electronic accessories outskirts-he took it-I even had a specialty-a computer operator of a blank warehouse (shop XNUMX) Damn, there were special marks in the pass with admissions to closed shops and departments, Anchors, diamonds, stripes, -kamendatura, subscriptions, all sorts Tolerances Understanding Responsibility EHH

[Non-fighter]

It was an ordinary vertical milling machine.
Alexei! Well, think for yourself what is the service life of a rocket engine? Acceptance including as a part of a finished product + 25 years of lying in the warehouse / in position, passing all the prescribed regulations and finally 10 minutes of flight. ALL!!! But in a rocket, every gram of weight counts, and savings due to excessive motor resources are the very thing. And the machine must work 40 hours a week according to the Labor Code, otherwise 80 if the second shift is organized. This I mean that someone smart put a rare engine with a tiny resource, and even the mechanics were funny there - one engine (the same one !!) on all three axles, a bunch of gears and shafts, including bevel :( There were moments when half of the chief mechanic's department sang and danced near this machine :(
After all these adventures, your machines will be taken exclusively on a voluntary and compulsory basis.

Then a healthy conflict of interest would move the gaps in the BMT and tactics of using the air and sea components.

[rocket757]

The strategic air fleet is not large, but everything is fine there .... not all zones are closed, there is where to "walk" quite safely. There are appropriate, in terms of range, strike means, there is no need to take risks, to climb into dangerous areas.
The Navy is a separate topic ... it is difficult to compete with a state that spends a lot of manpower and resources on countering our strategic submarine forces, and even has allies who do not disregard this topic.
In general, without an answer, no one will be able to rock a boat at us, not so commercials, they will get theirs!

If you do not go into the details of the rearmament of the Strategic Missile Forces, then according to the generals' reports, everything is very beautiful.
In fact, the staffing of divisions rearmed from Topol to mobile Yarsy has decreased by 1,5 times, from 36 to 24 launchers.
The staff of the divisions re-equipped to mine Yarsy has been more than halved from 50 to 24 launchers.
As a result, in eight divisions of the Strategic Missile Forces (6 PGRK + 2 silos), only 192 units will be in service. ICBM YARS.
After the transfer of the remaining 4 divisions to the Sarmat and Vanguard ICBMs (24 silos each), the Strategic Missile Forces will include 288 ICBMs.

Given the success in the development of missile defense systems, the bet on ICBMs with several nuclear submarines may turn out to be mistaken and our "nuclear sword" will turn into a knife ...

[nobody75]

Excuse me, about the success of the missile defense in intercepting 200 MBR can be a little - a little more detailed?

Dobrogo Ilya. Taking into account the missile defense systems in Romania and Poland, as well as the constant presence of URO-ABM ships in the Black Sea, naval base of URO-ABM ships in Japan, not everything is so transcendental. There is the possibility of intercepting an ICBM on the most unprotected launch and acceleration trajectory.

And good to you and Happy New Year (And the same with the old!)
Of course there is a possibility ... Only it has remained as it was since the 70s of the last century. Fundamentally new, except that the Aegis finished, nothing has changed.
Sincerely

Where will missile defense missiles be launched against the Kan and Irkutsk Yars?

"... In fact, the staffing of divisions rearmed from Topol to mobile Yarsy has decreased by 1,5 times, from 36 to 24 launchers ..."
You are all in a bunch ...
The staff (by l / s) was reduced even earlier, and not in connection with the rearmament to "Yars". Even under Serdyukov, it seems ... Optimization, damn it. Changed the composition of the DS (duty forces), IMHO, to unacceptable.
... We were rearmed 1: 1.

- Maybe bahnem?
- We will definitely bang. And more than once. The whole world is in dust.

[Fan-fan]

How much do we bang? I suggest half a liter for each, because if more, then definitely everything is in dust.

I agree! And we grind with beer

Basically, the update affected the mobile complexes, but the main striking force is not - the mine complexes of the voivode. Whatever one may say, poplars are not a replacement for them, but only an addition. The service life of the old governors has been extended, let's hope that they will have time to finish the replacement. The power of the governor is several times higher than that of a poplar and cannot be put on the wheels because of its weight. By the way, the silo launchers were previously planned to withstand a direct nuclear strike on the silo.

planned to withstand a direct nuclear strike on the mine.

Most likely an overhead explosion. With a ground or buried explosion (even with an increased hitting accuracy), the mine will most likely be crumpled or melted.

Above ground for silos makes sense only when missiles leave the mines.
It seems like up to 300kg / cm silos were read. The head had to withstand a 100kt explosion "on the lid" .... There are some doubts, but EMNIP was taught like this ...

What about General Kenobi?

Where will the old poplars go? Maybe they can be used to launch satellites or training?

What a wonderful line "The Barnaul and Bologovskoe units of the Strategic Missile Forces are abandoning the old Topols and moving to Yarsy." They refuse !!!!! Something like "The taxi fleet is abandoning cars such and such in favor of electric vehicles."

Also cut!
It will go on like this, it can turn out like with civil aviation, - they will buy used "Minutemen"))).
