Future Biden administration announced interest in extending START III

91

The administration of the 46th President of the United States, which is preparing to take office, is "giving signals" that it would be the best option for it to extend the Treaty on the Reduction of Strategic Offensive Arms (START III).

Recall that this agreement will expire soon, the Trump administration did not want to negotiate its extension. The Russian authorities have repeatedly offered Washington to sit down at the negotiating table and agree at least on an automatic extension of START for a year without additional conditions.



The fact is that the Trump team noted the futility of extending the treaty in its current form, when the strategic offensive weapon is not only in the United States and Russia, but also in a number of countries around the world.

Now, already in the future US administration, they decided to think about options for extending the missile treaty.

The United States emphasizes that they are interested in extending the START III treaty, "but for this it is necessary to carry out appropriate work."

It is clear that agreements of this kind (especially if they are going to be amended) cannot be extended without negotiations. In this regard, both in Washington and in Moscow, experts started talking about the fact that Joe Biden, by definition, would have to meet with Vladimir Putin and discuss the details of the agreement.

Recall that Biden assumes the presidency of the United States today at 12:00 am ET. It will be evening in Moscow at this hour.

    "... the 46th President of the United States is" giving signals "that it would be the best option for her to prolong the Treaty on the Reduction of Strategic Offensive Arms (START III)."- that's just IMHO put forward to Russia well, completely unacceptable conditions. The beginning of Biden's rule was marked by the disconnection of telephone communications, mobile communications and Internet failures at the Russian Consulate in the United States. Except as sabotage, this cannot be called.

      What's the point? Anyway, there are more than warheads and carriers, no one will do it. And we also have a lot of money. The existing potential will blow away the enemy and bystanders several times.

        The existing potential is capable of causing very serious damage to the United States. And that's all. That is, we are quite capable of forever knocking them out of the position of the strongest state in the world, but to destroy them, no, we are incapable. And this is provided that not a single strategic warhead will fly to Europe.

            Blessed is he who believes.
            After Armageddon (exchange of volleys of strategic nuclear forces), we will be left with little pieces. Today, even being untouched by a nuclear strike, we are unable to reach the English Channel. The number of our ground forces is only a couple of tens of thousands more than that of Turkey, while not all of our ground forces are stationed in the West. And in the United States, one KMP has 194 thousand people.
            In general, with such layouts, after Armageddon, it is POSSIBLE that our Armed Forces, with the help of TNW, will be able to deter the invasion of the Russian Federation. And maybe not. Europe will remain intact.

              Forgive me, but your opinion about the "intactness" of Europe has no basis.
              Our Doctrine says that any threat to our sovereignty, even with the massive use of conventional weapons with the threat of violating them, will necessarily be accompanied by the destruction of centers for making military decisions, which means that all NATO armed forces will be decapitated and it is clear that this will be tactical nuclear weapons, since NOBODY in our Armed Forces will tempt fate twice.
              And you overdid it in panic ...
              In this regard, Minutemans are much easier to catch than Russian devices.

                I am happy that you understand this. But here's the deal - firstly, our arsenal of TNW - about 2000 ammunition. Some of them are free-fall bombs, some are warheads for tactical missiles, and some, perhaps in general, are nuclear shells, although the latter is inaccurate - in theory, they should have been scrapped for a long time by their expiration dates.
                So that's it. You may not consider the actions of our tactical aviation over Europe at once - they will not fly there, they will be stopped much earlier. Accordingly, nuclear bombs for Europe disappear - well, maybe in the front line, Poland there, or someone else nearby will be bombed, but no more.
                What remains? Rockets. And of the missiles we have only "Calibers" have a decent range, But the problem is that these "Calibers":
                1) In general, it is not a fact that they have a nuclear part. They, of course, CAN carry it, but whether it is possible to place warheads from our arsenals on the Caliber is a question. And somehow we do not produce new TNW.
                2) "Calibers" are corny enough to "calibrate" Europe with them.
                3) From the same Caspian to the same France it is banal too far - "Caliber" will not reach.

                And you overdid it in panic ...

                I'm sorry, but about 173 warheads of 100 Kt are needed to eliminate 800 largest cities of the Russian Federation (with a population of 100 thousand people and above). More than half of the population of the Russian Federation lives in these 173 cities. Another 550 will be left to destroy infrastructure facilities and so on. - this is not counting the nuclear arsenals of NATO countries, I take only the US strategic nuclear forces.
                So yes, some bits and pieces.

                Neither one nor the other is caught. our air defense systems shoot down warheads, not the missiles themselves.
                A simple example to understand. During the exercises, the British Sea Wulf air defense system shot down artillery shells with almost 100% efficiency. In real combat operations against subsonic aircraft, it was fired with an EMNIP efficiency of 40%.
                Actually, we do not have enough complexes to at least theoretically be able to somehow shoot back from nuclear warheads. The same S-400 regiments are slightly more than 30, for example. And hardly all of them are capable of fighting the BB ICBM

                        I explain on my fingers. The number of strategic weapons is limited by the START-3 treaty, and it is relatively small, so for a more or less reliable defeat of the United States, we will need all the strategic nuclear forces.

              For the sake of destroying their population, it will run away from there to a new homeland, there are only emigrants - no one to get used to. An obvious internal problem will prevent them from bending over Canada and Mexico. There was no talk of the entire coastline; in Alaska, a couple of attacks on ports are really enough. Avot on the east and west coasts of the central part of the United States, retaliating with 500 charges not only withdraws the active ports, but also infects all areas suitable for mooring for half a century. Remains of those that are on the carriers and on other clever people.

                    Well, after sowing the coast, you will leave most of the United States intact. No "everything" will be infected, the largest megacities and something else will be destroyed.

If 500 is not enough for you, then they will spend another 500 crossing the border with Canada and Mexico, fly by airlines from there. 500 will remain for a start, so as not to let goats into your garden, and to prevent all resuscitation measures for the United States.

                        I will try to explain my point of view on such a duel. Yes, the Americans have an advantage; they will receive an attack warning before we do. Maybe we will take 80 percent of the strike, and you 95. But what comes next, our territories give more opportunities to the rescued, like our air defense, in which each S-400 installation will issue a warning to the area in twenty minutes, there is time to go to the shelter ... Our military forces will practically not suffer, even if two-thirds of their NZ are destroyed, they will work for years. You can't cut off our eggs, but we can do it, emigrants even in the third generation are not ashamed to dump their ancestors from their land, especially well-armed marauders, we have nowhere to cut, we will tear anyone's throat.

      you are absolutely wrong. Stopping the development and saturation of the RF Armed Forces with conventional conventional weapons can be costly. According to our military doctrine, nuclear weapons can be used in the following cases:
      1.in response to the use of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it and (or) its allies
      2. the case of aggression against the Russian Federation with the use of conventional weapons, when the very existence of the state is threatened.

      Thus, in the event of local (pinpoint) strikes by the United States (NATO) on military installations and / or defense industry facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation with conventional weapons, we will have to respond in kind. In your proposed case, there will be nothing to answer. It is not for nothing that in recent years the Americans have been diligently developing the theme of moving away from the idea of ​​a strategic nuclear war towards a strategy of limited damage. Now is not the 16th century, in order to remove a geopolitical rival there is no need to seize it or grind it into dust.

    In 15 days to remake the contract, which is usually specified by each of the parties within a year and a half? Are you kidding me? So far, we are talking only about one thing. On the prolongation of the existing START-3 treaty for at least a year. Further, if the United States agrees to conclude a new treaty, work will begin on the START-4 agreement, which will be based on the definitions and parameters of the START-3 treaty, and all conversations during this year will concern new types of weapons.
    If we agree to conclude a new START-4 treaty, we will still have to add new types of weapons to the treaty. It is a process that has never stopped. There is a Control Commission for this, which will coordinate these or those weapon systems. It is quite possible that the same Dagger system and its American counterparts will not be banned, but such a weapon can be spelled out in the "ceilings" of weapons ...
    However, "Poseidon" or "Petrel" in any case will be bargained for, as an intercontinental weapon. Avangard is already included in the START-3 restrictions. Any contract is a compromise. And, by the way, START-3 is no exception. They agreed to our condition on the number of BGs, we agreed to their condition on the number of carriers

    I am happy that you understand this. But here's the deal - firstly, our arsenal of TNW - about 2000 ammunition. Some of them are free-fall bombs, some are warheads for tactical missiles, and some, perhaps in general, are nuclear shells, although the latter is inaccurate - in theory, they should have been scrapped for a long time by their expiration dates.

    The tactical nuclear submarines include, judging by open materials, the S-300 and S-400 air defense missile systems, 53T6 anti-missiles, Redut and Bastion ground-based anti-ship missiles, free-fall bombs for the TU-22M3, SU-24M, SU-34, tactical missile systems of "Tochka" type (if any), "Iskander", ground-based missile systems of the 9M728 and 9M729 types. All.

    Quote: Andrey from Chelyabinsk
    What remains? Rockets. And of the missiles we have only "Calibers" have a decent range, But the problem is that these "Calibers":
    1) In general, it is not a fact that they have a nuclear part. They, of course, CAN carry it, but whether it is possible to place warheads from our arsenals on the Caliber is a question. And somehow we do not produce new TNW.
    2) "Calibers" are corny enough to "calibrate" Europe with them.
    3) From the same Caspian to the same France it is banal too far - "Caliber" will not reach.


    1) theoretically they can carry, but in open materials they are not yet indicated as carriers of non-strategic nuclear weapons, unlike the same Iskander. and ground-based KR, type R-500 (9M728) or 9M729
    2) during the days of the unified military acceptance, it was indicated that the number of "Calibers" was about 100-120 per year, with no indication of anti-ship missiles or operational-tactical cruise missiles.
    3) not only far away, but it must also be borne in mind that the guidance system of these CDs is such that they are forced to "go" over land, where there are correction areas. And given the fact that the missiles are subsonic and the countries over which they will go have even dead air defenses - there is simply no chance of reaching France.

    The goals are very diverse. You just need to return nuclear weapons to the ships and to questions from foreign journalists, such as "are there any" fissile materials "on board the EM" Discreet ", evasively answer - without comment. The same with Khmeimim - to launch a turntable from Tu-160 with a bomb bay "accidentally" open for all TV cameras, and the same "no comment".

    Clever. We will deploy on one destroyer nuclear weapons on two dozen. And not counting "no comment". Do not consider your opponent as a sucker. Back in the late 80s, the Americans and I conducted experiments to detect nuclear weapons remotely from a helicopter. And imagine. They found in which of the launchers of the Slava cruiser was the missile with the nuclear warhead and in which of the cellars was the depth charge with the nuclear warhead. So what an excuse for grandmothers at the entrance.

A bilateral agreement is sometimes developed for 4-5 years. Do you want to conclude multilateral? And by what criteria?

    I advise you to cut the sturgeon every 20 (TWENTY). Even if all 100% of carriers and warheads can be launched from each side and no false targets are used (you understand, this is unfeasible), then Russia will be able to intercept from 2,2 to 4,4% of the warheads fired at Russia by the Americans. And the United States is capable of intercepting from 1,4 to 2,8% of warheads fired at the United States ... There is no question of any 80 or 95%

    You can forget about the S-400, as well as the S-300. Radars of the S-400 complex will detect an ICBM or SLBM warhead approximately 80-130 seconds before the warhead explodes over the target. And for the S-300 complex, this time interval will be even shorter ...

    Our military forces will practically not suffer, even if two-thirds of their NZ are destroyed, they will work for years.

    That is, despite the fact that over the place of deployment, for example, the Taman or Kantemirovsk divisions, 1-2 charges of 100-300 kt each will explode, then these divisions practically do not try. Or if the BG explodes over a naval base, for example, in Severomorsk, it will remain combat-ready, but the Americans will have a khan for everything. Is it okay that their population is about twice as large, and the industrial potential is much greater than that of today's Russia? Enough for them and for us.
