The dates for the start of flight design tests of the RS-28 "Sarmat" ICBM have been confirmed

Flight design tests of the newest Sarmat ICBM will begin this year, they are scheduled for the 3rd quarter. This was announced by the general director of the Krasmash plant, Alexander Gavrilov.

According to the general director of the enterprise, which will be engaged in the production of the newest intercontinental missile "Sarmat", the first flight tests of ICBMs are scheduled for the 3rd quarter of 2021. Gavrilov did not give more accurate information.

The first flight tests will take place this year. 3 quarter planned

- leads TASS his words.

Thus, the information previously announced by some sources about the timing of the first flight tests of the latest ICBM in the third quarter of 2021 was confirmed. In early May, data appeared that the Ministry of Defense had decided on the beginning of flight design tests (LKI) and three launches would be made within this stage. All of them will pass from a silo at the Plesetsk cosmodrome, traditionally used by the military for testing. One of the planned launches will be at maximum range.

State tests of the "Sarmat" will start in 2022 with the first regiment being put on alert at the end of the year.

The Ministry of Defense does not comment on the data in any way news, limiting ourselves to an earlier statement that the "Sarmat" LKI will begin and end in 2021.

The RS-28 "Sarmat" ICBMs are being prepared to replace the world's most powerful silo-based ICBMs, the RS-20V "Voevoda" (NATO - SS-18 "Satan"); the missile will become the carrier of the Avangard hypersonic blocks.

One of the parts of the nuclear triad will be seriously strengthened.
It is a pity that new BZHRKs are not being developed ...

[tralflot1832]

And surely they are not working on the BZHRK? And the Sarmat for the maximum range, where is it? And they say Rogozin does not work!

If only very behind the scenes ...
In general, lately, most of the super-projects are beginning to be promoted long before they are put on alert ...

[tralflot1832]

With Zircon, we were already confronted with the fact. Before that, there was a continuous "fog" about the developments.

[Doccor18]

Quote: tralflot1832

With Zircon ...

Well, yes, but it has been announced for more than two years now, and the tests are still going on ...

[For example]

One of the planned launches will be at maximum range.

Quote: tralflot1832

And Sarmat to the maximum range, where is it?

Yes, along our borders, it will fly to the Kura.

[Barberry25]

there is no longer the missile itself being tested, but its equipment ... still there are 2 more missiles on the way

[Erik]

When there are no victories, all that remains is to PR! The main thing here is to tighten your belts and be patient! Give Russia at last 20 years of peace, internal and external! Do not shake the pelvis!

And Sarmat to the maximum range, this is where

Whose is Kamchatka for us? Kura ...
Somewhere else.
True, it will not work out to the maximum ...

[tralflot1832]

So I’m talking about the same thing, they’ll pull along a different trajectory, two circles over the NSR, and then the Kura.

[dzvero]

And Sarmat to the maximum range, where is it?

For example, the southeastern Pacific

[Pechkin]

And they say Rogozin does not work!

What does Rogozin have to do with this? Developer GRTs named after Makeev.

Quote: Pechkin

The developer of the Makeev SRC.

JSC "State Rocket Center named after Academician V.P. Makeeva ”is part of the state corporation Roscosmos.

NSHr has been gone for a long time. and his work lives on. The Strategic Missile Forces are developing.

rupture of the template from the BZHRK --- today a threat to London - in 3 days to Seattle.

[Ros 56]

How is it known about the BZHRK?

[aszzz888]

The Ministry of Defense does not comment on this news in any way, limiting itself to an earlier statement that the Sarmat LKI will begin and end in 2021.

The truncated is gone! will start now! again, MO does not give comets to the professor ...

And now on ours. They said - they did it. Dig bunkers who wish the death of Russia.

[Asad]

Like they wrote that they are building a test site in the Krasnoyarsk Territory? And in the article Plesetsk?

[Desperado]

What is the point of developing a new ICBM, the mine-based RS-24 is not enough? Or do they not go into the mines of the 20s? Or is the unification of ICBMs not ours?

[For example]

What is the point of developing a new ICBM, the mine-based RS-24 is not enough?

RS-24 "Yars" differs from "Topol-M" only in the head part and a more modern control system.
The start of work on this rocket is forty years ago.

The time has come for a new rocket.

Do you want a mobile phone 82 year of release?

[Desperado]

Looking at the opponents ... The LGM-30 Minuteman 3 missiles have been in service with the US Air Force since 1970 and are the only land-based ICBMs in service today (Vicki). What prevents further modernization of the RS-24?

[For example]

Quote: Desperado

have served in the United States Air Force since 1970 and are the only land-based ICBMs

And this is an example to follow?

There, the minister threw himself out of the window, shouting the Russians are coming.
Should you do that too?

Each product has a lifespan.
Technology does not stand still.
Retrofitting also costs money.

Sarmat is being created in Russia. USSR in the past. All the cooperation has died.

[Desperado]

Not imitation, but an example of unification and economical spending of state budget items. Someone may have thrown himself out, for example, our Minister of Defense apologized to Gorbachev for supporting the State Emergency Committee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-c2i4ATT4w

[For example]

It is important that the USSR is no longer there.
The defense industry enterprises that were in Ukraine have died for us.

When creating your own new production, it is better to create a new rocket than to pull the old one by the ears.

Savings will not work here.

There are costs in any case.

[For example]

Quote: Desperado

Defense Minister apologized to Gorbachev for supporting the Emergency Committee

And here everything is correct.
Gorbachev was the minister's boss.

It is a pity, of course, that there were weaklings in the GKChP. But they wanted to save the country.

Maybe he apologized that the GKChP failed?

I was for the Emergency Committee. True, it was felt that they were old and weak there.
Security officials by function, but weak by nature.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.

[bk316]

The LGM-30 Minuteman-3 chum has served in the US Air Force since 1970 and is the only land-based ICBM in service today.

In fact, whoever follows the news knows that the Americans have already scored on the ground part of the triad. Therefore, they do not change. Half will fly well already.

[Cottodraton]

Yars is a mobile system with a light rocket. There are three blocks in total. And then there was a heavy rocket with almost a dozen yagches. These are different missiles

[Terran ghost]

Well, as far as I understand, "Sarmat" is a replacement for the materially obsolete (and WITHOUT the possibility, for certain reasons, to carry out work to extend the service life) RS-20V "Voevoda".

[rica1952]

This is just complete nonsense about the beginning of flight tests, which is not said by the general designer, but by the director of the plant. It means that this statement is not worth the price.

[bk316]

this statement is worthless.

Calm down, of course, of course, these are all cartoons

And as I understand it, the BZHRK was developed, but "in metal" was not made.
They wrote a lot about this topic that they refused from double cars for distributing the mass of the launcher, fitting it into one slightly larger one, and a control system was created ... There was "Good job", there was "Barguzin". And the Yars rocket.

I remember that Molodets was the brainchild of Yuzhmash, but Barguzin was already developed by the Moscow Institute of Heat Engineering.

That is, it remains to assemble, test and put on alert. If need be.
