Russia adopted the RS-24 Yars division
Megaexperts who cried about the fact that Russia supposedly would soon be left with almost no nuclear missiles were screwed up again.
Strategic Missile Forces have adopted a new strategic intercontinental Yars missile with a divided head.
“We took and put on duty the first division,” First Deputy Minister of Defense Vladimir Popovkin told reporters.
PC-24 Yars (according to the NATO classification - SS-27) is a Russian solid-fuel intercontinental mobile-launched ballistic missile with a split head, developed by the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering under the guidance of Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Yuri Solomonov.
On the characteristics of the PC-24 is not yet known. According to the most reliable information, its range should be at least 11 thousand. Km, and the power of combat units, most likely, will be within 150 – 300 kilotons. The ccw on startups at the Kura range does not exceed 200 meters.
In terms of its tactical and technical characteristics, the Yars missile will be between Topol-M, which carries a single-piece warhead with 550 kiloton capacity, and will be equipped with three RGM-IN with 150 – 300 kiloton and PC-20 heavy carriers “ Voevoda ”(according to NATO characteristics - SS-18 Satana), carrying up to 10 warheads with 750 kiloton capacity.
In addition to warheads, the PC-24 carries a complex of missile defense systems that makes it difficult for the enemy to detect and intercept, which dramatically increases its value in the context of the deployment of a global US missile defense system.
The American Republican Senator John Kyle and a group of like-minded people resented the development of the PC-24, considering it a clear indication of Russia's violation of the START-1 Treaty. Senator Kyle said that the rocket is forbidden to adopt, because it has a divided head. In this regard, the senator wondered why the Russians were testing her.
At that time, the senator was told that it would not prohibit the launching of a START-1 rocket, but we would accept it and we will deploy it after the expiration of the treaty. That is now.
Meanwhile, the Russian government has decided to allocate billion rubles for the next three years to begin construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome for the next three years, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said today at a meeting in Korolev.
"I want to inform and inform you pleasant news. Yesterday, late in the evening, at night, in fact, or early in the morning, the government decided to allocate for these purposes a full-scale construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome 24,7 billion rubles for the next three years, ”Putin said. to create the necessary base and take the next steps after this deadline. "
“I’m very hopeful,” Putin noted, “that the Vostochny spaceport will become the first national spaceport for civilian use, guarantees Russia the complete independence of space activities. He stressed that the rocket and space industry is one of the main state priorities.
The prime minister signed a decree that regulates access to the RSC Energia territory by NASA and other space agency specialists, including Ukrainian partners.
Speaking about the priorities of the development of the national rocket and space industry for the period up to 2015, Putin stressed that the goal had been set to conduct a large-scale technological re-equipment of the industry.
