The ability of the multipurpose nuclear submarine Kazan of the Yasen-M project to use the Zircon hypersonic missile has been confirmed

The head multipurpose nuclear submarine "Kazan" of project 885M (Yasen-M) is capable of carrying hypersonic missiles "Zircon" for use against sea and ground targets. The commander of the 11th submarine division of the Northern fleet Rear Admiral Alexander Zarenkov.

The new multipurpose nuclear submarine "Kazan", which was accepted into the Russian Navy in May this year, is capable of carrying and using cruise missiles "Caliber", anti-ship missiles "Onyx" and hypersonic missiles "Zircon". This is provided by the universal launchers installed on the submarine.

The Kazan nuclear submarine, the first multipurpose nuclear submarine of the improved project 885M (Yasen-M), was launched on March 31, 2017. In comparison with the project "885" Ash "new submarine received many improvements and new systems that were not used on submarines earlier. Submarines of the" Yasen-M "project have a displacement of 13800 tons, immersion depth - 520 meters, crew - 64 people, autonomy - 100 days, submerged speed - 31 knots In service are mines, torpedoes 533 mm, cruise missiles "Caliber" and "Onyx" and "Zircon".

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defense confirmed that the tests of the Zircon hypersonic missile will be completed this year, 2021. At the beginning of the month, the Zircon launches from the Project 885 Severodvinsk multipurpose nuclear submarine were announced; tests from a surface ship are already underway. The military intends to put the new missile into service early next year.

Earlier, the US press wrote that if the Zircons appear in the arsenal of the Russian Navy, this will increase the level of threat to American aircraft carriers, as well as to the coastal infrastructure of the naval forces. Separately, it was pointed out that the United States does not have a missile defense system capable of counteracting hypersonic arms.

Good news. The underwater component of Russia's strategic nuclear forces is developing very dynamically. And this is in the face of strong pressure from the collective West. The budget still allows, the shipyards are loaded, design bureaus are working on improvements. Pah-pah, so as not to jinx it.

Guys, please explain why there are so many names for one submarine? What do they mean? And what is "head"?

This is the lead boat of Project 885M. The code is "Ash-M". The first launched "Severodvinsk" project 885. Based on the results of trial operation, changes were made to the project. And the project received the code "Yasen-M", respectively, the project number 885M. She is the lead boat of this project. And project 885 can be considered a working prototype of the boats of this project.

How interesting. Thank you very much

[Vladimir Mashkov]

Well, "proven ability." Someone in the US got sick of this news. And the Russians (except for the "fifth column" and all the faint-hearted ones) - felt better!

[Sergej1972]

It's true. Only "Ash" are not related to the strategic nuclear forces.

[Borz]

I know that this is not an SSBN. But in the aggregate, multipurpose boats perform parallel tasks, weapons allow.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defense confirmed that the tests of the Zircon hypersonic missile will be completed this year, 2021.

The news is great, but with Zircon it's a little unclear to me, if last year they said that they were taking it into service, how can our Defense Ministry say today that the tests will end in 2021? The question is rather rhetorical, I understand that perfectly well. It seems to me that it is necessary to present military equipment and weapons to the people at the moment when their tests are completed and they are accepted for service.

[avg]

Actually, there is nothing new here. And in Soviet times, it happened that the equipment was in service, and the tests continued.

In the past, they said they had accepted.

Yes, there was no such thing! You got it wrong! Perhaps you came across an article from the "yellow press" ...?

[businessv]

Quote: venik

Yes, there was no such thing! You have confused something!

Maybe it was not about Zircon it was said, but S. Karakaev, the commander of the Strategic Missile Forces, spoke on TV Zvezda, and when the host asked "when will hypersound go to the troops?" He answered: "I have already entered!" but tell them how to roll down the mountain! At that time, the Strategic Missile Forces had already had a hyper for a relatively long time in the form of the Vanguard, so it is not clear what he said. It is clear that Zircon is not their department, but the conversation was about combined arms.

And what should be the appearance of the rocket, which is fired from containers standard for Onyx? I would not be surprised if only a specialist can distinguish them by their appearance. Mortar start, then auxiliary engines turn the rocket in the desired direction, after which the head with these engines is shot back. Here there may already be some differences in the appearance of the rocket, but who will see them?

By the external shape of the air intake, it is easy to distinguish hypersonic
ramjet engine from a supersonic ramjet engine.
In a hypersonic engine, an air intake is inevitably an example
"chopped" rectangular shape (to slow down the speed of the incoming
air flow).
In a supersonic engine, the air intake is usually rounded.
for better aerodynamics.

ramjet engine from a supersonic ramjet engine.

This is clear. But if the air intake is in the nose of the rocket, then it can be covered with a cap with orientation engines, which is reset after the rocket has launched and turned on a combat course. For example, "Onyx" is exactly like that.

[voyaka uh]

Here is Yakhont / Onyx / Brahmos
Quite a modern and efficient supersonic anti-ship missile.
Tested in India thoroughly.
Nobody hides the air intake under the starting cap. Everything is shown.

[Astor 27]

if the air intake is in the nose of the rocket, then it can

no, he can not
The nose should have a special shape (very characteristic): blunt, spade-like (or iron-like - as you like): see the sketches of Dyna Soar, Tu-135, Tu-130 (DP), photos and sketches of the X-51). There is nowhere to put an air intake there. In addition to the fact that there is nowhere, the leading edges must be heated to extremely high temperatures (no one can cancel the Stefan-Boltzmann law (I don’t remember whether they pass it at school or already at the institute?), So the air intake made on such a rocket in front will simply melt and will leak.

Why are we)) so excited? Give him the photos ... Or maybe you still need to upload all the technical documentation to the Internet? not a child - you will get by with what they give. If you don't like it - you know the address where to go, or give you a hint? .pi.si. you go to Hollywood more often, there you EVERYTHING draw - you will not erase!

There is no bridge, "Vanguard" will not fly, FSE cartoons !!!

[Momento]

it looks like it is onyx with a different targeting head.

[voyaka uh]

With a different launch trajectory

[Momento]

why so? in the video that published my launch trajectory was the same as that of onyx. I'm talking about the start of course. those. the initial booster looks the same. and the cap (fairing) fell back as well as onyx.
and what is there next is only me can say. well, those who tracked of course. In general, there was an article in the American magazine, but unfortunately I only read a paragraph - the subscription costs $ 80 - it was not bought from me. Surprisingly, Americans have a couple of very good online magazines with subscriptions under $ 100 per year. there are a lot of interesting information.

[Momento]

onyx and zircon have the same cell. all over the zircon is coming out with new fuel and a new guidance head. something like this. from this, by the way, it turns out that zircon is not interchangeable with the caliber. the caliber has a smaller diameter.
on the wiki it is written (of course, who knows, maybe they are lying), either 4 onyx (zircon) or 5 calibers fit into the ash cell.

and ideally when there are hundreds of units in the troops ... the point is that hypersound is primarily a political instrument and its sounding in itself brings dividends

[Astor 27]

Zircon is a great wunderwaffe (crossed out) wunderwaffe of our army and navy (well, and the Air Force, of course). Here's something like the "death rays" or "miracle weapons": no one saw it (in all the photos I know - either the 3M55 Onyx anti-ship missile system, or the American X-51 CR (this one is really hypersonic)), but everything is intensified they report and intensely frighten the adversary (it is obvious that this only makes the adversary laugh).

[maiman61]

The other day I watched a video about the creation of the Tu-22. So the question was categorically posed by the testers that such an aircraft should not be accepted for service, but Tupolev's colossal work brought the plane to such a state that it flies perfectly today and will fly for a long time! And after the modernization and adoption of hypersonic missiles, it becomes a quiet horror of our "partners"!

[Pravodel]

And without a report from the division commander, the Minister of Defense was not aware that the latest nuclear-powered ship can use the latest missile?

[tralflot1832]

Now I have an insoluble question: Ash was made under Zircon, or Zircon was made under Ash. But in any case, well done, everything was fused together. Not only under water, but also on surface ships. And the amers cannot fuse Burke and Hypersound. Only with an iron and then after reducing the ammunition. So the rumors about the loss of scientific potential are greatly exaggerated by us. Counterintelligence works well, no one has seen Zircon, but he is.

[lucul]

Counterintelligence works well

While working)))

[Podvodnik]

Ash under Zircon made, or Zircon under Ash

The ship is made "around the weapon". The entire purpose of the "iron box" is the effective use of this very weapon.

By the way, they have not been released for a long time, so if you see, take them, no one else makes anything especially jewelry out of zirconium, the rarity will be great in the near future ..
