A successful combat training launch of the RS-12M Topol rocket was conducted from the Plesetsk cosmodrome

19 (20) October 2012 of the year from the Plesetsk cosmodrome at 13 hours 12 minutes Moscow time by joint combat crews of the Barnaul formation of the Strategic Missile Forces and the Aerospace Defense Forces launched an intercontinental ballistic missile RS-12MM combat training launch of the RS-XNUMXMM.

The launch objectives were to confirm the stability of the main flight-technical characteristics of missiles of this class during the service life extended to 24 years and to evaluate the possibility of extending them to 25 years.

The missile combat training unit struck a conventional target with high precision at the Kura test site on the Kamchatka Peninsula.

The Topol missile system forms the basis of a group of strategic missile forces. At the same time, it is distinguished by high survivability due to its maneuverability, secrecy and short time of preparing missiles for launch.

Strategic Rocket Forces, together with development companies, are tackling the task set by the President of Russia to maximize the technical potential of rocket complexes by extending their service time beyond the established warranty. Currently, the life of the complex has significantly exceeded the initial warranty period, which was 10 years.

Extending the service life of the Topol group of RK with minimal financial outlays allows for the systematic replacement of the decommissioned missiles with new-generation missiles without peak loads on the military budget.

The predicted assessment of the reliability and technical condition of the Topol RK indicates that it is in principle possible to extend its service life in the future.

We must always post such articles on American sites. Let the local electorate rejoice at our successful launches. No, well, what are we partners

Poplar is a useful tree in general, but has the unique property of causing allergies in people who are many thousands of kilometers from the tree, across the ocean ...

[strannik595]

then it will be easier for the Pentagon to knock money out of the government and saw, saw this ....... pear !!! let them think better that we are weak, get snot like in Georgia and howl at the moon ....

[tronin.maxim]

Comrades! Then I remembered the tale of Pinocchio! Who went to the country of fools and instilled manna. Not knowing why, but I remembered it! Perhaps this refers to the Pentagon!

[alexng]

What are pears growing on poplars?

[klimpopov]

The photo is good !!! And the horizon is not littered ...

Sure, not a problem but I don’t own aglitsky; here moderation is not strict, http://www.city-data.com/forum/ look in the aviation section they have already been introduced to the Caspian monster, and there are many ours. And here it will be more complicated http: //www.military-quotes.com/forum/ and here http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?6-Strictly-Photos-amp-Vide
o. And all the same, to infuse the Yankees with the culture to instill, well, so as not to be arrogant.

“I decided to leave something good in memory of my work at NATO, so I planted poplar. I think poplar is the place in NATO, ”Rogozin wrote in his microblog on Twitter.
Journalists found symbolic meaning in this, since the name "poplar" is the Russian missile system. However, the NATO administration considered it "not possible" to plant poplar on the territory of its headquarters, reports RIA Novosti.
Rogozin responded to the ban - he planted two trees at once, however, in the territory of his former residence. “Since NATO was not happy with my poplar ... I decided to plant two at once,” he wrote and published a photo on which he planted two small trees. “On the left is just poplar, and on the right is poplar-m.”

Poplar crowns above NATO headquarters will be visible from a distance of 20 kilometers

Well, something like this

[Dart weyder]

to begin with, put the Turk in place - and then you can Brussels and Fashington

[Nickname]

That's interesting, but if the launch failed?
What conclusions and actions would follow?
Missiles are not reliable - cut?

[d1m1drol]

I think they would repeat ... and yet ... until the conditional enemy is completely destroyed)

[Wedmak]

Checking all the missiles of this series, analyzing the malfunction and eliminating it (if possible), launching again, if it flew - well, no - speed up the replacement for Yars.

[Ash]

They would say that successfully.

Even Serdyukov would never have such an idea, there weren’t successful mace launches, but they didn’t cut them, but they continue to test and establish production, well, judging from a recent article

[Rezun]

Actually, "scheduled launches" - it is a sin to doubt, young man ...

[Ash]

Only most of the divisions with the Topols are now stationary. They go out for half a day on the "war" and that's all, and they are on duty in "Crones" because multiple malfunctions take place.

Oh, they assigned me a captain. For the second time in my life :)

[Rezun]

...Congratulations...

[AK-74-1]

Petrovich 3030, Respect (comment smiled) .
The news is correct. We need to print this news on the first pages of news feeds, next to reports of unrest in NATO countries.

[krutishka]

The news pleased me, it's good that without incident, the main thing is to continue to produce yars and "dress" our nuclear shield)

[B_KypTke]

And I have one standing right outside the window ... more precisely, the TPK from it .. it stands like a monument to the creators of the Russian missile shield.

Let's pity the poor democratized Americans and their shepherds ....
Well, if their konfrashka of Russian openness is not enough, they will come up with some kind of crap on the topic of protecting the rights of warriors-rockets and that their rights are violated by the need to be present at missile launches in which most of the fuel components are TOXICA .... immediately environmentalists will be attracted to Bolotnaya .... Do you need it? .... They quietly tested ....... We were convinced that they were still flying ... even if they were stationary ... and continue to work for the good of the Fatherland))))

[Phase]

Despite the claims of some liberals about "rusty Russian missiles", the technique works reliably. There are no people willing to check its rustiness on themselves.

Here you are a respected colleague and sadist !!! What do you want their kandrashka to run? Well, it’s somehow softer, they are weak people who can’t stand the strain.

[Rossmk]

It's okay. And then they already seem like a democratic raspberry

[anchonsha]

It’s good that the military began to count money even here. and then everyone steals and steals.

[tarks]

here are the goodies

[Lakkuchu]

Colleagues, such information slipped here - Research is underway in Russia to create military railway missile systems, but no final decision has been made, Colonel Vadim Koval, spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defense’s Strategic Missile Forces press service and information on the Strategic Missile Forces, said. - newspaper "LOOK"

[Praetorian]

Why develop them? There were already such. They took off, as far as I heard.

[Lakkuchu]

Were yes swam. The fact of the matter is that they removed it, and now they are apparently thinking about the revival of this topic.

[lm_]

This, as I understand it, extended the life of one year? And next year, what will our Poplars be sent to the scrap?

[sxn278619]

Of course to the scrap.
Gunpowder loses energy intensity.
The missile simply does not reach the target, or the goal is to change - London, Paris, Warsaw.

[Wedmak]

What kind of gunpowder, what are you talking about ... And it’s not a matter of energy intensity, the charge starts to collapse from time to time, cracks and the like appear, which prevents it from burning correctly and can cause the destruction of the entire rocket. And changing it is almost impossible.

[wax]

Reliably made in the USSR. We could survive the long devastation. Now, Presidential candidate Prokhorov with his billions of E-mobile does and does everything. Can such a thing be entrusted not only with Russia, but also with a village?

[Yuri11076]

Yes, the American poop doesn’t like this, they have dreams that we would put our own rockets on the needles, but a great oblomaytung awaits them)))
