The Zircon hypersonic missile was first tested from an underwater carrier

The Navy conducted the first test launch of the Zircon hypersonic missile from a submarine carrier. According to the press service of the Ministry of Defense, the tests were recognized as successful.

The Russian fleet began the stage of flight design tests of the Zircon from an underwater carrier, in the role of which was the Yasen multipurpose nuclear submarine Severodvinsk. The first firing from a nuclear submarine was carried out at one of the Severny fleet in the Barents Sea. The launched missile hit the target with the specified accuracy, the military reports about this with reference to the means of objective control.

Earlier, a source in the OPK said that the Navy is moving on to testing the Zircon from a submarine, the LKI stage from a surface carrier, in the role of which the frigate Admiral Gorshkov acted, has been completed. According to him, two launches will be carried out by the end of the year, one from the surface position at the beginning of October, the second from the underwater one in November. Moreover, the exact date of the second test will depend on the results of the first.

In the future, tests will continue in 2022, and the flight design will smoothly go into the state ones even in this. At the same time, the planned delivery of "Zircons" to the armament of ships and submarines of the Russian Navy will begin.

Recall that the Defense Ministry has already signed a contract for the supply of Zircon hypersonic missiles. The parameters of the contract were not disclosed, but it is known that it is calculated until 2025. At the same time, it is specified that the Zircon missile is unified for use both from surface and underwater carriers, the only difference is in the launcher.

Because of the cloudiness, it is not clear there solid propellant rocket motor or scramjet engine.

You have seen the work of a solid fuel starter anyway.

It seems that they were filming (launched) on purpose at night. Something flew away somewhere, and then you have to believe MO

I think - both that and another: the accelerator is clearly solid propellant, and the main engine is more likely a scramjet!

[75 Sergey]

Was the launch underwater or surface?

[PN]

And if you carefully re-read the article and revise the video, the answer will be obvious ...

Chukchi reader. I do not like videos, since they are often uploaded in Ukraine for monetization

The start is surfaced, even the carrier is visible in the video.

Usually the system works: Fires back capsule with a rocket, pops up, and there is already a start!

[Vladimir Vlasov]

Acceleration during acceleration is very low. Where did Mach 7 (this is more than 8,5 thousand km / h) come from? Maybe in the area of ​​descent near the target, for 5 seconds?

[Stepan S]

Where did Mach 7 (this is more than 8,5 thousand km / h) come from? Maybe in the area of ​​descent near the target, for 5 seconds?

The rocket reaches its maximum speed at an altitude of 20 km, and not at the launch stage. And the declared speed (maximum) is about Mach 8-9.

EMNIP flight altitude 40 km. Another reason why it is difficult to knock it down.

[voyaka uh]

At the terminal site in a dense atmosphere, braking to supersonic is inevitable.
Otherwise, the GOS will not work, it will burn.
The maximum speed is after the booster, at an altitude of 20-30 km.
Further, a gradual deceleration on the straight-through.
Next, braking downhill.

[Orange bigg]

.At the terminal section in a dense atmosphere, braking to supersonic is inevitable.
Otherwise, the GOS will not work, it will burn.

Your logic is strange. How will braking, in your words, help to supersonic at the terminal section, if, in your opinion, the seeker burns out when flying at hypersonic speed? But with your words, braking to supersonic will begin. The meaning is then to reduce the speed to supersonic, if during the flight on hypersonic the seeker burned out already before this “braking to supersonic”? Where is the logic?

... The maximum speed is after the booster, at an altitude of 20-30 km.
Further, a gradual deceleration on the straight-through.
Next, braking downhill.

[voyaka uh]

"If, according to you, when flying at hypersonic speed, the seeker burns out?" ///
---
At altitude, on hypersound, the seeker is disabled. Sensors (active radar or video) are covered.
When approaching the target, after braking, the seeker turns on to lock onto the target.

[Orange bigg]

So from what do you think the seeker should burn out? From a flight at hypersonic speed or from turning on the seeker itself when flying at hypersonic speed? and if you turn it on when flying on hypersound, will it burn?

. When approaching the target, after braking, the seeker turns on to lock the target.

It looks like you came up with it yourself.

How is deceleration to supersonic connected with the fact that the seeker will not burn out, if before that the same seeker flew on hypersound and did not burn out?

The seeker of the Iskander ballistic missile works in the same way. It is also hypersonic, only the trajectory is different.
When descending to the target, the rocket is decelerated against the dense layers of the atmosphere. The speed is reduced to supersonic (3-4 MAX).
For the last few seconds, the seeker radar turns on for terminal correction.
If you turn it on earlier, it will burn.

[smersh chek]

self-deception is good in peacetime (it allows you to sleep peacefully), and in war it is guaranteed defeat and death .. S300,400 anti-aircraft missiles fly at a speed of 9400 km / h and their gsn does not "burn" in the atmosphere judging by their effectiveness))

[Barberry25]

or the seeker is triggered until the moment when dense layers create problems)

It is not clear due to cloudiness there solid propellant rocket engine or scramjet engine.

Yes, this is what is of fundamental importance.

How is it with Zhevanetsky: I will not believe that ZIL 130 presses until it hits the chest with a wheel!

[Stepan S]

Already launches of "Zircon" do not add any intrigue. Everything is regular, according to the schedule. Judging by the fact that flight design tests are smoothly and at the same time turning into state ones, and supplies for armament are already planned, the test results are quite satisfactory for the military.

[faterdom]

Well, October 4 is still a holiday for Russian missiles.
They started intrigues back in 1957.
And they continue to intrigue partners.

well and good!

It seemed to me alone that there was no "underwater" situation and clearly not the TA. They're making a fool again

Essno, it is necessary to have a snack so that it does not seem. For users from the article:

Earlier, a source in the OPK said that the Navy is moving on to testing the Zircon from a submarine, the LKI stage from a surface carrier, in the role of which the frigate Admiral Gorshkov acted, has been completed.

Is November on your calendar ???

[mvg]

Is November on your calendar ???

For testing with nuclear submarines, they have been advocating for a year and a half. do not consider it for work, read the VO on this topic for the specified period of time.
And everything is smooth in my calendar. To work at 7, from work at 22-23 .. I, purple, what a month, I know that the mushrooms have already departed, and this year there is not enough salmon. Imported trout in the pond stinks of "fish meal". These are everyday life.
PS: When I drink, I eat only the first week. Now, unfortunately, there are four "0" after the decimal point, in ppm

[Dikson]

Well, good luck ..)

[smersh chek]

in the Ross media there is no patriotic hysteria about this launch like "netanalgovmire" (which is really so), successful launches of hypersound are presented as ordinary ordinary news among a heap of other news, and after all, it took 40 years to direct hypersound! and this is generally a great event in significance and difficulty comparable to the launch of Gagarin, we are again the first on planet Earth!

[Vadim237]

It would be even more interesting if the rocket itself was shown, but alas, the construct is secret on this and the news about launches is not used by the excitement.

By the way, the RF Ministry of Defense reports that this was the second launch of the Zircon state-of-the-art complex from Severodvinsk. And he was underwater, from 40 meters they shot back. The surface launch of the Zircon, the video posted, was performed earlier.

How are you going to determine in flight what kind of engine works there if, after firing the accelerator, the rocket disappears from the field of view very quickly? This is not some kind of Caliber

It will be very expensive, scare them with zircon, you can scare them with a burst and scare them from the AK-630 or from the AK-130
