Pentagon: the United States will abandon the Russian RD-180, but not immediately

72
The Pentagon has no plans to order more Russian engines RD-180, used to launch satellites, however, intends to buy those that were ordered before 1 February last year, reports MIC with reference to the statement by Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter.

Pentagon: the United States will abandon the Russian RD-180, but not immediately


At the Senate hearing, Carter recalled that the Pentagon "introduced an amendment to national legislation prohibiting the United States Air Force to use the RD-180 since 2019 of the year" for consideration by Congress. This amendment aims to ensure that lawmakers allow the US military to buy back the engines that have not yet been paid for, but have already been ordered by 1 February 2014.

“We want to get rid of dependence on Russia in terms of launching military and reconnaissance satellites. However, it takes time. Therefore, our approach is not to order more (RD-180), but also not to cancel orders already made for (these) engines ", - the minister explained. According to him, "this is our strategy."

According to Carter, the United States "cannot afford to create a gap between the moment of refusal from further use of the RD-180 and the start of operation of its own power plant," which will replace the Russian engine.

              I have never been accused of love for mattresses, nor of that bluff of observance, and I will not continue to. However, I am very sorry if we lose this market. This money VERY We need it. I know what I'm talking about. And by the way, tell me, not far away, what high-tech products we export besides these engines? Will you scrape together a lot? And when our country is contemptuously called a big gas station over the hill? Do you like it? With all the dislike for mattress toppers, I have to admit -their economy is exceptionally powerful and diversified. You must first become a powerful power, and then it is easy to refuse such contracts. In the meantime, the share of the Russian economy in the world economy is 3,4%, and in the world GDP% 2. You think they have nothing to replace our carriers? You are mistaken. "Delta" is very reliable and very effective. But much more expensive. Is it possible!

                And the West at all times tries to humiliate us, and that everything ... in a coffin? Some West said badly about us. With such crap technology, and they won the Second World War from the whole West.

                    And at the expense of supplies watch the movie "The Unknown War". Until 1944, the Americans supplied fuel for the Wehrmacht. The West put a lot of things to Hitler, just to break the USSR. The West is having so much fun, every 100 years it attacks Russia, shoots it in full, and then boasts how it beat Russia.

                        I bring to your attention that the US Congress has legally forbidden mattress firms or companies with the participation of mattress capital to trade with the Axis countries, that is, Germany, Italy, Japan, as well as their allies, Hungarians, Finns, Bulgarians. Do you have any idea what it means in the states to violate the law of Congress? Another option is possible: Mattress firms traded with neutrals. Sweden, Switzerland. Re-export is not ruled out. But I have no such information. It is known that the USSR, like Germany, traded with neutrals.

      Carter is too self-confident (which is not surprising after Obama's remarks on American exclusivity).
      How did they get the idea that they could manufacture, test and launch a reliable analogue of the RD-180 in two years ??? Or are they going to copy paste, like our AK and RPG-7?

              For 2013, the world has completed 79 space launch, of which 73 launch vehicles with rocket engines. At 38 starts out of 73, rocket engines developed by NPO Energomash were used, which accounts for 52,1% of LV launches with LRE or 48,1% of all launches.
              In 2013, Russia implemented 31 launch of Russian LV (including launches of the Dnepr, Rokot and Strela conversion launch vehicles), of which 26 launches (83,9%) were performed using the rocket engine developed by NPO Energomash.

              TOTAL in 2013 NPO Energomash produced 156 rocket engines



              / RD -181: 60 engines for $ 1 billion, this amount includes not only the cost of the engine, but also a whole range of services: flight training, installing the engine on a rocket, conducting tests. /
              Until now, Antares missiles were equipped with AJ-26 engines, made on the basis of the Soviet NK-33, the first batch of NK-33 came to America in the mid-1990s, they went to Aerojet for $ 1 million apiece.


              In accordance with the law, the budget of the Federal Space Agency in 2014 will amount to 165.814 billion rubles, which corresponds to 98.9% of the amount originally approved for 2013, and slightly more than the adjusted 2013 budget, which amounted to 165.223 billion.

              At the rate of 33.4 rubles / $ used in the layout of the budget, the annual program of Roscosmos corresponds to $ 4,9645 billion, which is 28.1% of the NASA budget approved for January 2014 fiscal year ($ 17,6465 billion).

              Congress restrictions on its use in the Atlas V rocket relate to only military loads. ULA will continue to purchase RD-180 for non-military programs such as: mthe mission to Pluto “New Horizons” (2006), the mission to the Moon “Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter” (2009), the apparatus for the study of the Sun “Observatory of Solar Dynamics” (2010), the mission to Jupiter “Juno” (2011), the mission to Mars “ Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter ”(2005),“ Martian Science Laboratory ”(2011) and“ MAVEN ”(2013).

      The video posted on the Internet is accompanied by the following text: “9 May is the day when the world was born again, and, by tradition, we invite world leaders to celebrate this holiday with us with a military parade every year. This year, Barack Obama has banned many "world leaders" to go to Moscow for the Parade and refused to go himself. Well. We live in the age of high technology and therefore we can say: “If Barak does not go to the Parade, the Parade will come to Barak himself!” The students of the National School of Cinema staged a video performance in Washington, reports Russia Today. They projected onto the walls of the White House the Russian flag and archival footage of military equipment, which they called “polite tanks.” The performance was accompanied by the sounds of the march “Farewell of the Slav”.

    And one more comment, I apologize for offtop. The opposition by May 1 was also preparing.

    In Krasnoyarsk, a rally was held, the participants of which opposed the fighting in Ukraine.
    According to an NGS correspondent, the rally began at 19:00 on Theater Square. About 10 people gathered for it. They held posters with slogans against the war in Ukraine and Ukrainian flags.
    Protesters stood at the color music fountain. On all sides they were surrounded by a portable metal fence. In addition, inside the fence there was a stand with photographs of prisoners in the framework of the so-called “Swamp business”. According to TASS, the opposition march took place in Moscow on May 6, 2012 and ended in clashes with the police. A dozen and a half people were convicted of organizing the riots. At the stand they were called "prisoners."
