In the US, consider the possible losses from the ban on the supply of RD-180

Not long ago, the US Department of Defense ordered a report in which it would like to receive information concerning damage to the state in the event of Russia's failure to supply RD-180 rocket engines. The report was prepared by a group of experts, consisting of retired generals of the US Air Force, as well as ex-NASA staff. Reports about it ITAR-TASS.

Experts in the course of the research have concluded that if Russia decides to abandon the deliveries of RD-180, which are used for American heavy carriers, this will lead to a revision of the entire segment of the American space program. In the US, more than 30 launches of carriers with Russian RD-180 are planned, and if these launches are canceled or even postponed, then the losses, according to the most modest estimates, will be 5 billions of dollars. If the United States decides to switch to developing its own engines of a similar type capable of replacing Russian ones, the first result will appear no earlier than 2020 of the year, which is unacceptable for NASA.

At the same time, American experts are confident that the United States itself must phase out Russian rocket engines for several reasons. One of them is this: the program to launch military satellites is tied to the use of the RD-180 in the USA. After Washington’s expanding sanctions package against Russia, Moscow said it was ready to supply rocket engines to the United States only for civilian projects. Launch programs in the interests of the military can be seriously affected.

And now there are corpses and burnt equipment. Despite the anti-aircraft guns, they did not expect that they would be attacked by their own using airplanes.

According to preliminary estimates, the Americans will have enough of their own forces for launching. These will be lighter or heavier missiles depending on the situation. They complain that it will be much more expensive.

Americans have proven 1000 times that they are not reliable "partners". So there are sanctions for sanctions.
Imagine this situation. As soon as they develop their engine, they will abandon ours.
And our production facilities will be out of work, will suffer a loss.
Moreover, with the help of them, military (and at least civilian) satellites are launched. who spy on us and solve other problems

So much for Kuzkina’s mother! As the saying goes - did you want sanctions? so we have them!

It is high time to stop supplying. Moreover, there is where to put these engines on our rockets .... If I'm not mistaken, the RD-180 is equipped with the Soyuz-2 launch vehicle.

[sub307]

It is good, of course, to have your own leisure opinion. But there is a problem: "
Members of the US Congress share this opinion and therefore the Pentagon’s draft budget for the 2015 fiscal year, prepared by the House of Representatives, provides for an allocation of $ 220 million in order to create an engine that can replace the Russian RD-180. American experts believe that such an engine may appear in the United States by 2022.
In the meantime, the United Launch Alliance and the US Department of Defense have accelerated the purchase of RD-180s from Russia in order to create the largest possible stock of them. NPO Energomash is ready to help its American partners in this and plans to supply the United States with new RD-2016 rocket engines after 181.
With regard to the feasibility of terminating exports to the USA RD-180, then this is not the first time that this has been discussed in Moscow. However, Energomash's management warns that such a move could lead to a sharp decline in orders and revenues for the company. As Solntsev noted, "recession can make up about 60% of the production volume, and then the company can be closed". Not I" composed ":

By 2022, this will happen. So what? Americans will establish their engine and abandon ours, and we will help them in this. Sanctions are double-edged weapons. The management of Energomash needs to look for other customers, or keep silent in a rag and plow on mattresses until they are thrown out as unnecessary.

I have not heard ... The first stage of "Soyuz-2" is equipped with 4 × RD-107A. I did not remember the second one, I looked at the "Vicky" -RD-108A. RD-180 use mattress covers on Atlas 3 and Atlas 5. It is assumed that for the first stage of the Soyuz-2.1v rocket, the RD-193 will be used. It should also be on the Angara, which, by the way, is about to debut. As for the RD-180, we must not leave the mattress market. We will find a replacement, and we will go to bed without this market. It costs about $ 10. Do we have a lot of high-tech products of the world, avant-garde class that we can export? I don’t like mattresses for arrogance , for a careless attitude towards others, confidence in their infallibility, but don't be hysterical. Don't scare anyone, you need to work calmly.

[clidon]

RD-180 is received only by Americans. The own project of using them in the Rus-M launch vehicle has been canceled. That is why American orders are very important for "energomashevists". In case of failure, both parties will suffer. Moreover, from the "Protons" (for which they also make engines) will gradually be abandoned. Exactly the same as from "Zenith".

[max702]

USA - ENEMY !!! And with that, everyone was selling wheat, strategic raw materials, and many other things to Hitler ... did it help a lot? Or how many of our people, thanks to this "help", did the Nazis destroy? Isn't it a similar picture? And as for the enterprise, if our astronautics do not need these engines. it means that we need to reorientate for the release of something else, now all and sundry are shouting about the lack of a technological base and skilled workers, but here everything is in order .. Grab everything with money to measure, everything that strengthens our enemy must be stopped! How is it with Marx "the capitalist for the sake of profit will sell the rope on which he will be hung"

[clidon]

The enemy - when everyone is preparing for war, there are problems of an ideological or geopolitical nature insoluble by diplomacy. But so far there is none of this, even no one is really imposing sanctions against us, for laziness will even strike at ourselves.
We are not yet leaving the WTO, and by and large are not going to. We are a capitalist country, like the United States, and so far nothing has changed in this regard. And the capitalist makes money, as you rightly noted.

What would you know. Before the war, Germany sold us a first-class machine-tool fleet, samples of all its weapons, including ALL aircraft, communications, and much more. Italy handed over to the USSR the ships we ordered. We will get nothing of this THEN wherever else could not.

It seems that RD-180 is not used on ours.
"..." Soyuz-2.1v "
It is a light class rocket with a payload of about 2800 kg into a low (200 km) low Earth orbit. The modification was previously known as Soyuz-1.
Compared to the Soyuz-2.1b version, the NK-33-1 closed-cycle liquid-propellant rocket engine developed by the SNTK im. N. D. Kuznetsov, which has more than twice the thrust compared to that used on Soyuz-2.1a and Soyuz-2.1b RD-108A .... "

NK-33 has not been produced for a long time. Several dozen of them were manufactured in Samara. Later it was decided to destroy them. Clever Nieolai Dmitrievich locked them in a hangar, where they were stored for many years. Now we sell them mattress mats on the "antares" carrier. They are running out. ..

Alexey, this is a boomerang, not an answer. First, the YuSers banned their components and the launch of satellites from Russian launch vehicles. Well, and the "trampoline" they were offered after these freaks. So, in all its glory, Newton's third law: "As it comes around, it will respond!"

[lexx2038]

It is necessary to stop deliveries so that they suffer damage, otherwise they will quietly assemble their engine, and unexpectedly for us will refuse themselves, then we will suffer damage. Damage to money is not everything, but how many tasks have not been completed, and this also causes damage, I think much more. Until 2020, half of their satellites will fall, space. After all, the grouping must be updated.
PS It’s only planned to create an engine, but whether they will assemble it, this is a big question, if they could, then they would have already collected it.

Fig them, not engines. You shouldn't sell such products to our mattress "tailors".

It seems that the generals are hesitant, and the field commanders stupidly lack the courage and intelligence to understand that they and the soldiers are consumables. The turning points are because they are turning points, that it is necessary to make tough and the only right decisions. When will they "finish off" and go over to the side of the LPR and DPR? After all, where is the elementary instinct for self-preservation?

They are now being used as cannon fodder, and then when Julia and Petya begin to find out which of them is more patriotic, they will put the army as an extreme in military crimes, or throw them under militias or ends in the water - they will finish with an erroneous bombing ....

The Americans won't feel anything. As before, they will stupidly eat their burgers .... they will buy these 5 lard, only sausages for a picnic. When one nation lives like the owner of a "supermarket", it will only be able to feel something when the supermarket is on fire. The fact that they have long lived beyond their means, at the expense of the rest of the world, is clear to everyone. But, the flywheel is too massive, it still turns by inertia, but there is a hope that we will stop the quiet. Let's make a little weight, build and run from state to state for the separatists.

Enough for our leaders to chew and snot from the USA and Europe! They imposed sanctions and we need to introduce the same. We have enough leverage to push them. What are the little things our statesmen? What are they waiting for? Think they’d change their minds? Yes, no hell like that! We must act with their own weapons, wisely and toughly act!

[clidon]

Our "statists" understand that any sanctions are a double-edged sword. And in many places everything is much thinner here than in the west. We have two real levers - Oil and Gas. Oil with a capital letter, gas with a small letter. But the Russian budget also rests on the same levers. Therefore, no one will touch them once again.
The rest for the USA and Europe is mosquito bites - all the more so that the levers can be counted on the fingers of the hand - space (for the USA more, for Europe less), metals (titanium and aluminum, to some extent copper, the rest will not be noticeable there) .. . All?
There is also nuclear energy and weapons, but of course, "on the other side" will only be glad of our withdrawal from the market. Rare earth metals, diamonds, gold, timber and industrial products occupy scanty lines.
The rest of the category "we will not buy something", but alas, our purchases are not that great, or "we will expel someone" - about the same.
Therefore, it is not worth breaking the "sanctioned" stools once again. Better to slander satirically and think of good things.

Yes, what are you talking about. As long as the "liberal and democratic" economy and industry (and not the state in strategic sectors) flourish, money and profit will be at the forefront and our capitalists do not care about national interests. Just imagine for a moment, the USSR is selling US rocket engines for military satellites. Even those who hinted about it would never have been seen. And here they sell it, with the knowledge and approval of the entire leadership of the country. LIBERALISM and DEMOCRACY, as you want.

It is not the United States that terminated this decree of our president to cease the use of foreign technology in the sphere involved in ISS (I have a relationship with this company).

[Boa kaa]

the use of the RD-180 in the USA is “tied” to a program for launching military satellites.

well, as they say, God himself ordered the wings of the reconnaissance satellites to be cut. Let me remind you that EBE’s decision to sell RD-180 to the states saved the striped (according to our military experts) 10 billion dollars.

In the USA, more than 30 launches of carriers with Russian RD-180 are planned, and if these launches are canceled or even postponed, then the losses, according to conservative estimates, will amount to 5 billion dollars.

Well, at least a little, but the balance needs to be adjusted. Yes, in general, this is not even the case. The main thing now is TIME!

If the United States decides to switch to developing its own engines of a similar type, capable of replacing Russian ones, then the first result will appear no earlier than 2020, which is unacceptable for NASA.

And this is to the question of BSU and MSU. Without space grouping, they are simply not feasible. And all systems tied to space will be seriously affected.

The ban on the supply of engines in response to US sanctions and aggressive statements by US government officials ... an excellent move.
The United States will experience the financial (what they most understand) and technological consequences of the stupid behavior of the country's leadership.

[USSR]

During the time of perestroika, I heard such a thing that it was as if the states spent about 50-70 billion dollars a year only on espionage in Russian space. At this time, if they lose 5 milliliters, then this is already a good answer to enemy No. 1 from Russia. This is our geopolitical interest.

If someone explains to me why we are selling the ENEMY RD-180 - I will be very grateful. This is one of the few puzzles in this world that have remained for me.

Balderis, for your similar "trampolines" you need a lot of green lards for design and preparation of production, therefore - losses. In addition, amers' similar engines will come out a lot more expensive (which only one space fountain pen costs 100 bucks a piece).

[Korablev]

Now he is feeling, most likely, he doesn't like how it turned out. But being a natural LAMB or MONKEY, he still stands his ground ... Russia needs to be bolder with such stubborn rams. That's when the Americans realize that they've gotten themselves into FULL - then, you see, they will want to reconsider the relationship. Help, Russians, we can't do it without you! Now the main thing for Russia is not to get involved in a big OPEN war in Ukraine. This is their entire calculation amerikosovy.Nu remember, exactly 100 years ago in Europe, the turmoil began, in which Russia got one of the heaviest shares. And who then skimmed the cream? Of course Uncle Sam! But to hell with him, not a big war! Moreover, we have signed large contracts with China. And with such a neighbor (and I hope that a friend), we can still use sanctions. Rd-180 ourselves. Well, if not, then this year Angara should fly. Let her "wave her wings to Obama" over America - ardent greetings to monkeys!

[Zomanus]

You can not leave their field of play. We must learn to do them in their own field, according to their own rules. While we are selling engines to them, we need to think about where to use production in the future when these engines are not needed.

[Bad_gr]

Quote: Zomanus

While we are selling engines to them, we need to think about where to use production in the future when these engines are not needed.

RD-180 is a half of the RD-170 engine with four combustion chambers instead of two (RD-180).
The same chambers (with nozzles) are on the RD-171 engines (4 units, but in a movable suspension. It is installed on the Zenit rocket) and on the RD-191 (1 combustion chamber. Used on the Angara launch vehicle and on the Korean launch vehicle "Naro-1").

They differ only in different performance pumps (of course, on a four-chamber it is four times more productive than a one-chamber).
I do not think that production will be idle without orders.

[Lyton]

Something tells me the Americans will get out and take our engines, NASA isn’t stupid and these sanctions are not good for them, they will just tactfully ask them to return everything to the ass.
