Terms of decommissioning the Topol intercontinental missile announced

33

In the Strategic Missile Forces (Strategic Missile Forces) of the Russian Federation, a major update of the arsenal is expected. In this regard, the terms of decommissioning the solid-propellant monoblock intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) RS-12M "Topol" have already been named.

About this news agency TASS said a defense industry official.



The source claims that this event will occur in 2024.

This process is already under way gradually. The Topol missiles, which have reached the end of their service life, are being replaced with Yars MIRVs. The source said that some of the decommissioned Topols will be used for peaceful purposes. As a result of the conversion, they will become Start-1 launch vehicles.

Representatives of the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering (MIT), where intercontinental solid-fuel missiles are being developed, refrained from commenting on this information. But last year, the general designer of this organization, Yuri Solomonov, said that launches of the Start-1 space rockets, converted from combat ones, were soon going to be resumed. Then he said that there is no final decision on this issue yet, but it will be made in the very near future.

    On the way saplings saplings are green
    Restless spring, you rustle with foliage
    And you can not sleep with me
    Poplar poplar in restless spring
    You rustle with the poplar foliage of the poplar
    And you can not sleep with me
    Poplars poplars are crowned by the sun
    The roads await me and new alarms
    I go far into my heart, I take you away
    Like an exhilarating spring noise
    Poplar poplar I go far away
    In your heart I carry poplar poplars
    Like an exhilarating spring noise
    Poplar poplar we grow and grow old
    But with a loving soul, we will remain young
    And how in your youth suddenly you drop the fluff
    On the eyelashes and shoulders of girlfriends
    Poplar poplars and as in youth suddenly
    You will drop the poplar fluff of the poplar
    On the eyelashes and shoulders of girlfriends

      Poplar not only served, but became a stage in the development of domestic solid-fuel ICBMs, also mobile, on the experience of which Yars and even Bulava were created. Although, of course, Poplar is again a continuation of the royal RT-2, and in this sense, the mother of Yars and Bulava is RT-2, and Poplar is her son laughing

      There was, of course, the Temp complex, a victim of SALT-2, but we suspect that Poplar is (of course, modernized), and Pioneer is a victim of the INF Treaty, but without the third stage. And even in the guise of Yars, the figure of a slender great-great-grandmother RT-2 is visible laughing And we see that despite the intrigues of the cunning Americans and the oak-headedness of the political bureaucrats, in the form of the SALT, START and INF Treaty, the direct descendants of the RT-2 have climbed mine / mobile, and even with MIRVs they now terrify the United States. The Americans themselves, after the failure of the mobile Midgetman, did not leave the medium range (only if London laughing), generally spat on this matter and concentrated on the dull, dividing heads of members of the Central Committee of the CPSU of individual guidance.

          Before the marked, members of the Politburo did not differ much from their extreme fosterlings. An example of the same Tempo, but in fact the future of Yars, is indicative. Even remembering Khrushchev is disgusting. Therefore, Gorbachev acted within the framework of the snotty philosophy of his oak-headed predecessors. And the same Pioneer, Gorbachev's main victim, was not lying next to Temp. Another weight category, although from Anadyr they shot the entire West Coast of the United States with Pioneer, covering 50 million people, not to mention Europe and do not forget, then hostile China. As for the Oka, since the agreement was signed, there are no complaints. This is the myth of a favor. At 400 km, the Oka threw a 400-700 kilogram landmine, but in the case of the SBS, which is 150-200 kilograms, it flew into shorter-range missiles. Nothing, our Iskander is, first of all, versatile and apart from the BR, there is also a mobile Caliber installation. And also with a half-ton landmine of Iskander's ballistic missile - OTR, and with an SBS, at least a shorter-range missile. Least. And the withdrawal from the ABM Treaty, with the trick of deploying a Mark-41 VPU in Romania and Poland, gave us a reason to send cunning partners away. The same Iskander (and Dagger, respectively) has the ability to put a second stage with a turbojet engine and even a ramjet engine, which will deliver a light charge of TNW to a medium range unambiguously.

            Recently I heard from Platoshkin that the National Union of Artists was a very decent communist. It shocked me. But what about the famous reduction in 1955: "Three times two hundred - the court of honor - one million two hundred"? An excerpt from the narration:
            Fate was favorable to the brave commander, which cannot be said about the overwhelming majority of the officers of his division: many front-line soldiers were dismissed from the army without a pension; some were short of a year, some - two; there were those who had only a few months to serve until retirement... "The army is not social security for you," they said harshly to such officers when they were fired.

            I was personally acquainted with a lieutenant colonel who worked as a watchman at the landing stage in Saltymakovo, who fell under this reduction. He told everything one to one.

              The comparison is inappropriate. From Fusée to Mosinka, there are several qualitative, revolutionary transitions. From muzzle-loading to breech-loading, from a flint lock to a bolt, from a single-shot to a magazine, from a smooth barrel to a rifled one, etc. From Korolevskaya RT-2 to Poplar, there are quantitative improvements and one qualitative leap to Yars in the form of a MIRV. The line-up and mass-dimensional characteristics do not have any cardinal differences.

                However, not surprisingly, -3 missiles !: Vicki: "3 RSD-10 Pioneer missiles."

                They were not based in mines, they were mobile launchers on the MAZ-547 chassis. The rocket launch could be made both from a special shelter in the main position from a storage with a sliding roof, and from one of the prepared field positions - a concrete launch pad.

                The missile targets were US missile attack warning radar stations, as well as the Kitsap nuclear submarine base near Seattle ... "

                  No, I didn't get excited. What to expand the Pioneer was not given to the end, a separate topic. The main thing is that Pioneer-UTTH has reached 5500 km, and the distance from Anadyr to Los Angeles is exactly 5400 km. in a straight line, and this is the south of the West Coast of the United States. Actually, UTTH was done with this calculation, the rest of the problems were solved by 15Zh45. And yet, launchers against the territory of the United States were deployed, that 3 pieces or more, only responsible workers know. But of course the first targets are important military installations and megacities. Regarding the snotty doctrine of the political bureaucrats, it was reciprocal. A kind of vindictive, therefore, it is the megalopolises of the enemy, according to the Soviet doctrine, that are the main goal for causing unacceptable damage. Therefore, our strategic nuclear forces are also more powerful, etc. Do not forget that a Pioneer with a MIRV and even if there are three launchers, but there are 9 targets, and then how the breeding platform works. Whether it is possible to hit San Francisco, Los Angeles and Sacramento with one rocket, I don't know. wassat With regards to RT. By and large, Topol and Yars are a modernized RT, and a more advanced guidance system, solid fuel composition, MIRV, mortar launch, etc., are precisely the subject of modernization. Mine or mobile launcher, in general, is a secondary matter. The compactness of the RT made it possible to make a mobile launcher. Let me remind you that the first ICBMs were carrying a tractor, set in an upright position and launched. Philosophy is closer to a mobile installation than a mine wassat The only thing when introducing a mobile installation was a mortar start from a pipe. Here Yangelevskaya P-14 is being launched. And this R-14 is larger and heavier than the RT-2, although it flies twice as close. I will repeat myself. In fact, Yars is a modernized RT. The base is one.

            What's wrong? And yes, Nikita Sergeevich carried out the reduction of an exorbitant army and equally military expenditures, which stifled the economy and doomed the country and people to poverty.
            PS: And for the closure of the wretched construction program of the obviously outdated ones already at the time of laying down the battleships deserves a special medal. For the prevention of damage to the national economy of the SSR for the sake of incomprehensible and insane "Wishlist".

              It’s all right with your brother, they say, but they didn’t want to wassat Why then did they design, do and test? Moreover, they passed throw tests and reached the home stretch before being put into service, namely, they started flight tests. The truth of life is that both tests have failed completely. It's a shame to stutter about the first launch. And on the second launch, at least they did not reach the declared range of 11 thousand, to defeat targets in the depths of the USSR. Allegedly, they reached a little more than 7 thousand and that is hard to believe. For the main liars on the planet are the United States. And they overestimate their achievements all their lives. Neither the USSR nor the Russian Federation, on the contrary, were noticed in this, they become pauper and underestimate the characteristics of the weapon. The truth of life is that there was no way to fix the jambs. And even put Midgitman on the negotiating table, even in embryo (rather abortive material), as an argument for bargaining for the START-1 negotiations, in order to achieve a refusal to place the mobile Poplar, which was already adopted three years ago. An example of the LGM-118A "Piskiper" rocket or, among the common people, Em Ex. An extremely unsuccessful rocket, but it was used successfully for bargaining, and we achieved restrictions on our heavy missiles. They wrote it off and crossed themselves. A separate and shameful topic ... for America laughing If Pioneer was exchanged for Pershing, then there was simply nothing to cover Poplar. Therefore, the development turned out to Topol-M, then Yars, etc., including the promising Frontier that passed flight tests and the projected Cedar.
              According to Khrushchev, the country before this toad was rebuilt from the post-war ruins, rebuilt from the ruins of Central Europe and China. In nuclear technology, it overtook the collective West by making the first hydrogen bomb, not the Teller-Ulam device with a three-story building. And rocket technology is a bad result. The economy of the USSR was dispersed like a locomotive and coped not only with a large, well-equipped army that had undergone rearmament, including small arms, but the backlog of jet aircraft still allows us to be in the lead. Before Khrushchev, the first nuclear power plant on the planet was built in the USSR, etc. And this bastard, this locomotive broke, which caused terrible shocks in the economy, army, society. Because of this fool, China went over to the West, etc. The myth for idiots is that he has improved the economy. He arranged a collapse of the economy, which was corrected a little by Brezhnev, but the USSR could not fully recover from this. Therefore, his corpse will still be dug up and placed in the toilet for ablution.

                It’s all right with your brother, they say, but they didn’t want to

                Which "our brother" has? Well, what do you mean "but did not want to." In connection with the end of the so-called. During the Cold War, the US specifically saw a reduction in military spending from more than $ 500 billion a year to less than $ 300 billion a year. The fact that part of the weapons development programs with such budget cuts is no longer surprising.
                Plus, in 1991, the START-1 treaty was signed. Which not only prohibited the further build-up of nuclear missile forces by Russia and the United States, but also prescribed their bilateral reduction (which was carried out). In simple terms, the deployment of new units and formations armed with Midgetman ICBMs has become simply impossible. The use of the Midgetman as an SLBM is impossible for purely technical reasons (the Topol-M and Yarsa are also, for the same reasons), the use of it (the Midgetman missile) as a silo-based system is deprived of any there was no practical sense.
                The truth of life is that both tests have failed completely. It's a shame to stutter about the first launch. And on the second launch, at least they did not reach the declared range of 11 thousand, to defeat targets in the depths of the USSR. Allegedly, they reached a little more than 7 thousand, and that is hard to believe.

                The fact that during the development of the rocket some launches are unsuccessful is not surprising. Therefore, talking about "stuttering ashamed" is, to put it mildly, strange.
                The second launch was not "supposedly reached" but was more than successful. The missile was launched from the Vandenberg VVB launch pad and hit a conditional target at the Kwajalein test site, covering the distance of 7300 kilometers between the two points.
                An example of the LGM-118A "Piskiper" rocket or, among the common people, Em Ex. An extremely unsuccessful rocket

                What common people? MX (Missile eXperimental) - the name of the program for its development officially used by the US military. Introduced into service as the LGM-118A "Peacekeeper". Removed from service in the framework of the implementation of the SOR treaty of 2001 EMNIP of the year.
                What is her "extreme failure" then?
                The economy of the USSR was dispersed like a locomotive and coped not only with a large, well-equipped army

                At the cost of the total poverty of the people to maintain an exorbitantly large army? Nafig right away. Reducing exorbitant military spending in such a situation is absolutely the right decision. Deserving only praise.

                  It was under Khrushche that poverty began. With regards to Midgetman, I repeat once again for the dull. They were in a hurry to do it before the signing of the contracts. At that time, the signing of START-1 was the future. You are scratching this now, as a fact, but at that time there were no guarantees that the Humpbacked Treaty would push through. They signed it at the very end of July, and the USSR was dissolved at the end of December. Those. 5 months and hello. START-2 has already been concluded by the Russian Federation and EBN. Now to START-1. Read carefully and you will understand everything. Firstly, the treaty limited not carriers, but warheads. There were NO media reductions. Secondly, it was forbidden to develop airborne ballistic missiles, ala Dagger, bottom launchers and orbital rockets. Everything. And here, thirdly, there is a separate point on Poplar. Precisely for Poplar and only for Poplar, for there were no other mobile, ground-based ICBMs. And Midgetman just died at the testing stage. This abortion did not hit any conditional target, it did not reach the calculated range at all. The only thing is that Gorby and our Defense Ministry agreed to allow the basing of mobile ground missile systems, I repeat, Topol and only Topol, only in limited and declared areas. Due to the total failure of Midgetman, the absolute superiority of the Union in mobile complexes, in fact, overthrew the Americans. Their Doctrine of Disarming Strike has died down here. The Russian Federation went on to develop Poplar and reached Yars with MIRV. But the failure for the common people Emeks (an abbreviation for the words experimental rocket can only be common people and applies not only to Peskyper, but to the entire Batwawassat ) discloses the START-2 treaty, which dealt with MIRVed missiles and which the Duma never ratified, but the United States "voluntarily" threw Peschipera into the trash. This "voluntariness" according to Midgetman and Peskyper only for people like your brother ... Western lovers does not raise questions. Firstly, Peskyper lost in all respects to Stiletto, not to mention Satan already in terms of the stated parameters and in the bargain immediately looked pale. Could not make a BZHRK with it, etc. They were adopted in pauses, even without a ready-made inertial guidance system. Those. adopted an expensive dummy unusable. Naturally, the so-called retrofitting of dummies already standing without full flight tests and somehow adopted into service with the AIRS guidance system for missile specialists causes a laugh. Naturally, because of this, the platform-breeding quack, and in the US Congress there were a number of terrible scandals. Our intelligence naturally found out about this, so START-2 was not accepted. Naturally, they did not exchange our terrible missiles Scalpel and Satan for non-combatant dummies. It was especially funny to listen to the criticism of zapodolyubs about the Bulava, which was taught to fly before being put into service when there were dummies in the mines of the United States. When the United States understood. that the number did not work, then the dummies were removed. As an RN please, but as an ICBM in any way. And against the background of Midgetman's abortion, the formidable Yars went to the Poplar base. Against the background of the dummy-Peskyper, on the basis of the formidable Satan, the menacing Sarmat is tested, and Stiletto became the bearer of the Vanguard. And now the United States is in complete sadness. Minuteman-3 is morally and physically dead, and Trident-2, although not bad, but rested on rusty, forty-year-old Ohio. This is not to mention our new hypersonic devices and intercontinental torpedoes with CD. And the current deplorable state of the United States, the failure of the Rimland doctrine and the flight from BV and Afgan are rooted in the failure of Midgetman and Peskyper. Russia, after the collapse of the Union, survived due to the failure of Midgitman and Peskyper, there was nothing to inflict on us a disarming blow without receiving a return. And their withdrawal from the ABM Treaty preceded the removal of dummies-Peskyper, they began to fence other plans against Russia. Those. already the concept of a global strike, but with non-nuclear weapons against the background of missile defense. That there is already an abortion, like Midgetman laughing I don’t need to answer, I already gave a lecture for the sake of your enlightenment, I don’t think that this will be of any use to Western believers, but nevertheless. I will not read, I will not answer. hi
