The Rubezh missile system in the light of international treaties

74
In the early days of October, several Newsdirectly related to Russian strategic nuclear forces. On October 1, the US State Department published the latest data on the quantitative indicators of nuclear weapons in Russia and the United States. A little later, information regarding some aspects of testing missiles by our country got into the public domain. In addition, both news of early October are most directly related to earlier events that have occurred in recent times.

The Rubezh missile system in the light of international treaties


As of September 1, according to the US State Department, the strategic nuclear forces of Russia have 473 deployed carriers of atomic weapons. The total number of unwrapped and unwrapped media equals 894 units. Deployed carriers can deliver warheads to 1400 targets. In the United States, 809 media from 1015 is currently deployed. The rockets and bombers deployed and ready for combat carry a total of 1688 warheads. In accordance with the START-3 agreement, Russia and the United States must bring the number of carriers and nuclear warheads to the following quantities. The total number of carriers in each country should not exceed 800 units. 700 of them can be simultaneously deployed and equipped with 1550 warheads.

Considering the published data, it is easy to notice one interesting feature of the ongoing implementation of the conditions of the START-3 agreement. After previous cuts in strategic nuclear forces, as well as after the specific situation of the past years, the US is ahead of Russia in all three points: in the number of carriers, including deployed, and in the number of deployed warheads. Moreover, Russian strategic nuclear forces do not fit into the terms of the agreement for just one point - the total number of carriers exceeds the allowed. At the same time, the number of deployed carriers and warheads does not reach the prescribed values. This is especially pronounced in the case of unwrapped media, the actual number of which (473 units) is significantly less than the allowed 700.

This discrepancy in numbers suggests that over the coming years, Russia may not only not reduce the number of deployed carriers and nuclear warheads, but also increase it, remaining within the framework of START-3 conditions. The simplest way to strengthen nuclear forces is to increase the number of aircraft, missiles and submarine rocket carriers on duty. Indeed, subject to the availability of a certain stock of missiles in warehouses, this will improve the quantitative indicators of the country's nuclear shield. At the same time, the field of nuclear weapons and their means of delivery has a number of characteristic features. Therefore, the available opportunities are better used to improve both quantitative and qualitative aspects.

The difference between the required and actual quantitative indicators can be filled by developing and building new carriers and warheads. Probably, the military and political leadership of Russia intends to develop nuclear forces in this way. In early October, a number of Russian media circulated information about the new contract of the Ministry of Defense. As reported, the insurance company Ingosstrakh won the tender of the military for insurance of several launches of strategic missiles. In addition, a list of types of missiles, the launches of which will be insured, was made public. Among the indices and designations already familiar to the general public, there was no previously encountered official sources. According to media reports, Ingosstrakh will insure the launch (or launches) of the RS-26 rocket. This designation was first published by The Washington Free Beacon in March of this year. Then, with reference to sources in American intelligence, it was asserted that Russia was developing some kind of medium-range missile RS-26, which could contradict the existing international agreement.

In early summer, the Russian military and defense industries confirmed the existence of a new ballistic missile project. At the same time, according to official information, the Rubezh project involves the creation of a complex with an intercontinental ballistic missile. Because of this, the new project does not contradict the treaty between the United States and Russia, which prohibits the development and operation of medium and short-range missiles. The available information about the tests of the Rubezh complex, as well as about other aspects of the domestic nuclear program, allow us to draw some conclusions. First of all, there is no longer any doubt that the PC-26 index is an alternative designation of a rocket, known as the Frontier.

After adopting the RS-24 Yars complex, the Rubezh PC-26 system became a new project of the domestic defense industry in the field of missile weapons, attracting increased attention of specialists and the public. The rocket, developed by the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering, is currently being tested. Over the past two years, four test launches were conducted, one of which ended in an accident. In the early summer of the current year, shortly after the fourth test launch, it was claimed that another rocket would be launched before the end of the year. Probably, this launch was insured, according to the press, on 180 million rubles.

The tests of the PC-26 “Frontier” missile have not yet been completed, but the plans of the military department are already known. Soon after the end of the tests of the new missile complex, the Ministry of Defense intends to adopt it. Next year it is planned to deploy the first regiment of the Strategic Missile Forces, armed with new missiles. Thus, over the coming months, the Russian strategic nuclear forces will receive a new delivery system with new warheads. Some sources claim that the PC-26 rocket carries a separable warhead with maneuvering warheads of individual guidance. For obvious reasons, we cannot yet speak about the veracity of this information. In any case, some other information about the Frontier project may contradict the version of the existence of a split head part of the rocket.

The adoption of the PC-26 missile and the start of its mass production will make it possible to quickly eliminate the lag in the number of deployed carriers and warheads. In addition, the new missile system will increase the combat potential of the Strategic Missile Forces, which should have a positive impact on the state of all strategic nuclear forces of Russia. As a result, it will be possible to bring the quantitative indicators of nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles to the maximum level corresponding to the terms of the START-3 agreement, as well as to raise the qualitative aspects by using the higher characteristics of the new weapons. The existing Russian-American agreement requires that the number of delivery vehicles and warheads be brought to the required value by 2018. By this time, we should expect the construction and transfer to the missile forces of a large number of RS-26 complexes.

          Let's say today there was a "Live theme" again by Prokopenko where it was said that Russia until the 16th century did not know vodka at all (they used light honey drinks) and Europe whipped it with might and main and now Russia is in 19th place in terms of alcohol consumption per person per year after European countries, or this you the same would not trust you so better that in Russia all the alcoholics?

            He collected information about the prospects for the supply of our alcoholic beverages to the West.
            They came to the conclusion that 90% of alcohol in the USA, Australia and Europe is smuggling or other gray schemes.
            The exception is elite varieties.
            Otherwise, it is UNFAVORABLE to produce alcohol.

            I read and watched a lot about the Chinese army. By the way, estimates vary greatly - from the likes that China is a super-duper military power, to the fact that the Chinese army is so far ahead only in number, and everything else, say, ... is "made in China", so any competent specialist can submit information can be as he wants or as required by the customers of the material.

        I absolutely support! We must not hide, but we must advertise. The leadership of the East Kazakhstan region and Strategic Missile Forces needs to create an Internet resource with free access for everyone to detailed descriptions of the capabilities of Russia's nuclear missile forces, with computer animation of possible options for using various separate and joint forces and especially their consequences for different countries.

          I agree. As for the Frontier, already about six months ago, the top officials of the state trained our "partners" and pleasantly delighted the public about their early withdrawal from the treaty on the limitation of medium and short-range ballistic missiles, or subtly hinted at changes in this treaty.

    Considering that the missile test came from the Kapustin Yar along Saryshagan it is 2000 km, then I believe Rubezh is a universal rocket with a range from 1000 km to 9000 km i.e. it has the ability to hit border countries as well, and perhaps it got the name ABROAD from this. Frontier is a headache primarily in Europe, Turkey, China and Japan, and then the United States.

          I think that it is unlikely to have increased so much that it is possible to make a full-fledged intercontinental complex with an abandoned mass of 500–600 kg (the required number of warheads, a set of means to overcome missile defense). Otherwise, it would simply not be necessary to make a modernized Yars (modernization will mainly affect military equipment), which should be delivered to the Strategic Missile Forces somewhere from 2016, but simply make the Rubezh slightly increased, adding, for example, another axis, achieving a range of 11000 km.

            A conventional nuclear weapon for an 150 mm gun weighs about 100 kg together with a sleeve and has a power of about 2-3 kilotons; a thousand kilogram carrier already has the ability to toss 10 of such units with protective equipment. What kind of development warheads are now no one knows, we can only assume and I think that the assumptions lead to an increase in the power of charges with the previous masses of warheads.

              Indeed, you can only learn about our works "tete-a-tete" in conversation with classmates or colleagues. And then, if you are well known and trusted. But the Americans are following the path of miniaturization. The bottom line: increasing the range of the carrier by increasing accuracy while reducing the weight of the BB. At the same time, the weight and overall characteristics of the weapon (ICBM) and the carrier (platform) are reduced. By the way, quite recently there was a conversation on the forum about this.

                The more powerful the head, the greater the radius of the target’s destruction. Therefore, even with low accuracy, it can be covered. It was like that at the dawn of rocketry. Everything has its reasonable limit: the size of the carrier, the energy characteristics of the fuel, the number and thrust of the engines, the mass and power of the warhead. The higher the accuracy. The smaller the charge needed to hit the same target, the smaller and simpler the carrier. Designers have chosen this path. I think that as soon as they can achieve that the warhead, having flown 8 thousand km, will fall into a circle with a radius of 8 meters and fall at a distance of 25 cm from the center of the circle, many types of aircraft and types of troops will cease to exist at all or will be reduced to a minimum .

          Son! You study physics better. Kilotons. Megatons are the TNT equivalent. and a kilogram, a ton is mass.
          These are incomparable quantities. Speaking of carriers, the terms are used: the total power of the nuclear charge, the starting mass of the carrier, the thrust of the propulsion system, the number of stages, the weight of the warhead, the specific pressure pulse in the combustion chamber, the pressure at the nozzle exit, etc. Deal with this. otherwise it’s a shame on the whole Internet.

    I would like to add the fact that in the Strategic Missile Forces there remains a large number of obsolete missiles of the UR-100UTTX type with repeatedly extended service life. And this despite the fact that in addition we are inferior to the United States in terms of the number of carriers even under the START-3 treaty !!! Here is the result of an unreasonable policy of the 90s and the beginning of the 1st century, when we were cutting and cutting what we are trying to revive (an example is the BZHRK - a railway missile complex).
    New missiles are needed, even badly needed by Russia today. Modern Strategic Missile Forces are a tangible makeweight "for forcing the alleged enemy to peace" (in what casuistry, well, LADIES - just Machiavelli and a Jesuit rolled into one !!!).

    The Votkinsk plant at one time, when we produced Pioneers, produced 120 (!) Missiles per year. Now, if you organize his work properly, these opportunities will also be. So it is necessary to increase the production of complexes of the Yars type both in the form of mobile complexes and in the mine version, placing them in the mines from which old liquid rockets will be removed, thereby you need to get away from such a variety of types as now and not to develop liquid rockets, like some offer today.

        No, I remember everything well. In the production of Topol-M complexes, it was also originally believed that there would be cooperation between enterprises throughout the USSR, but under the new conditions it was necessary to create cooperation between enterprises only on the territory of the Russian Federation - and nothing, they coped quite quickly. If you now properly organize the work, then it is possible to increase the volume of production

      While solid fuel rockets cannot compete with liquid ones in all respects, especially in the initial booster section, for this reason a new heavy liquid rocket is being developed.

        This statement is very superficial. What is the initial acceleration section, what characteristics should be achieved, for what? A heavy liquid rocket is heavy because it is large or because it has a heavy warhead? At the same range, ICBMs with solid propellant rocket launchers have more stages than a rocket with rocket engines. This means that the burning rate of the TT charge is higher. The dimensions of the carrier affect the dimensions of the silo launcher. Under the START treaty, neither Russia nor the United States can build new mines or upgrade them.

      Here you are wrong, Makevsky missiles are simply necessary, they will also create a rocket to replace Satan, which the Americans are still afraid of, and with the stubbornness of a maniac sought to destroy it !!! Compared to solid fuel, liquid ones can deliver over a long range, longer the number of warheads, heavy and light false targets, which makes it difficult to select the BB with anti-missile defense !!! The mace still does not fly, and the old Satan has already exceeded all terms of operation, it is still terrifying !!!

You just need to have such a strategic nuclear forces that, in response, are guaranteed to destroy ANY aggressor. And the lyrics here are not appropriate. If this can be achieved without creating a new sample of the complex, then it is not necessary to create it. This is a spray of money, as well as scientific and production efforts for the sake of someone's personal and corporate interests.

          Dear Nitup, liquid-propellant rockets surpass solid-fuel rockets in almost ALL parameters.
          1. Range and throw weight for solid fuel with the same dimensions is 1.3-1.5 times less. There are no such solid-propellant missiles, neither we nor pin.dos, which would be compared in the "Voevoda".
          2. Time of guaranteed (!) Operation. Almost 1.5 times less for solid fuel. And this means that they need to be changed faster. The costs are obvious.
          3. Liquid fuel rockets do not need periodic monitoring of fuel conditions. For solid fuels, it is necessary to shine through every 2-3 years with X-ray or ultrasound (!) To make sure that there are no cracks in the fuel, especially this concerns mobile soil complexes.
          4. Solid fuel missiles have minimum range limitations. This is inconvenient for possible use over short distances. Roughly speaking, if it does, it’s impossible to shoot them in Turkey or Poland, but only in pin.dos. Shallow, and in a critical situation, a significant drawback.

          Here are the BASIC weaknesses of solid rockets compared to liquid rockets.

          As for their positive qualities like
          1. Fast overclocking
          2. Ease of preparation for the start.
          3. Cheaper manufacturing.

          That is all more of a fictitious advantage.

          In order.
          point 1. Modern satellite means for detecting ballistic missile launches by their torch are capable of detecting a launch in 10-20 seconds of engine operation. Therefore, the duration of the solid-fuel engine, although less than liquid, but still significantly exceeds this indicator. And therefore does not make much sense.
          paragraph 2. All preparations for launch are carried out in equal measure according to a PRELIMINARY command from the center. And the decision-making time for launching is still significantly SIGNIFICANTly longer than the preparation time for launching and therefore this parameter is not significant either.
          point 3. According to the latest data, the costs of the production of solid rockets in Russia are significantly higher than the costs for liquid rockets. You can only gain an advantage by massing the production of such missiles. But the START treaties do not allow this to be done. And here, roughly speaking, a span.

          I consider the BIGGEST strategic mistake of the Russian command to switch to solid-fuel rockets. This proset will soon turn into a disaster for the country. God forbid, of course, but it no longer depends on the Russians ...

You don’t know their devices, you have never been involved in exploitation, you haven’t carried out combat duty, and have never been involved in preparations for launch. in factories. where they were made, I wasn’t, you don’t know the cost of missiles, you also don’t know the capabilities of tracking and warning about a missile attack. All this is available only to professionals. Become him and then you will understand what and why, how and how much, much or little, quickly or slowly, etc. etc. Without this, it’s ridiculous to talk about the grossest mistakes made by the leadership of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, the command of the RV, and the Supreme Commander.

    It would be nice to do something like Reagan did. It is necessary, together with China, to create the appearance of a unification for the development of a super ambitious and expensive project like Star Wars (hypersonic aircraft or submarine naval bases). The Americans will rush to catch up, start investing huge amounts of money and their economy will finally collapse, along with the ambitions of the world policeman.

    I absolutely support! We must not hide, but we must advertise. The leadership of the East Kazakhstan region and Strategic Missile Forces needs to create an Internet resource with free access for everyone to detailed descriptions of the capabilities of Russia's nuclear missile forces, with computer animation of possible options for using various separate and joint forces and especially their consequences for different countries.


    In personal communication with people living outside the borders of Russia, ALWAYS stated that our propaganda is VERY weak in the West.
    People, ordinary citizens, clerks, hard workers WANT to know about Russia from the primary sources.
    And the information in English and other foreign languages ​​- the cat cried.

    Would suggest:
    - carry more paid and FREE groups to Russia.
    - On the Internet it is more open to portals for various layers and groups of the population NOT SPEAKING.
    - more TV and radio programs about Russia

    But these are dreams.
    Listen to the Lighthouse, the radio of Russia.
    Tears

    Radio of Russia 2-4 minutes two three events in the country. 5-7 minutes foreign news, 5-10 minutes sports.
    The rest of the time is hidden or explicit commercial advertising.
    Advertising from approximately 9 am to 12 pm in the territory of Primorye.
    And what is being advertised ?!
    Devices from all diseases !!!
    And no one will shut their mouths.

    True, there are thematic programs in Russia.
    In them you can hear something about Russia, its history. Music, theater, prison and its inhabitants.
    But 50% of the Jews and 50% of all other nations and nationalities living from Kaliningrad to Kamchatka.
    Very little and rarely about the Heroes of Russia, about its scientists, production workers ...
