ICBM RS-24 "Yars" successfully hit a conditional target at the Kura training ground (Kamchatka)

The Office of the Press Service and Information of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reports on the successful launch of the RS-24 “Yars” intercontinental ballistic missile from the Plesetsk cosmodrome. The test launch of the newest ICBM was carried out at 14: 30 Moscow time by joint combat RVSN and Aerospace Forces.

From the message press service Main defense department:

The main task of the launch was the confirmation of the reliability of a batch of rockets of a similar class made at JSC Votkinsky Plant.

It is reported that warheads conditionally hit a given target at the Kura range (Kamchatka Peninsula).

Ministry of Defense:

The set launch goals have been achieved, the tasks have been completed in full.

The adoption of the RS-24 ICBM with a split head reinforced the combat capabilities of the Strategic Missile Forces strike group to overcome missile defense systems, thereby strengthening the nuclear deterrence potential of the Russian strategic nuclear forces (SNF).
In the future, the ICBM RS-24 will form the basis of the mobile grouping of the Strategic Missile Forces, which will be capable of ensuring the security of the country and its allies as part of the Russian strategic nuclear forces.

This type of rocket is equipped with a Kozelsk missile compound.

For reference: the IBR RS-24 “Yars” is capable of carrying at least 4 individual targeting warheads. The height of the rocket 23 m, diameter - about 2 m. The number of stages - 3. The first launch of the rocket took place in May 2007.

Our best guarantee in case someone thinks that we have forgotten! Such news is good!

[Vyacheslav 64]

We must constantly keep our "friends" in good shape, so that they do not relax too much. A kind of disturbing fire.

[crazyrom]

Why are they all shooting this Kura range? There probably already know the rocket road by heart, it is necessary to somehow diversify, unexplored routes to test, in America, or something.

You are probably joking. American warning systems will quickly calculate the place where training blocks fall, but they cannot distinguish between a training launch and a combat launch. In a word, their military will fly back to us in response, even before the fall of our training blocks on their territory.
Bravado is sometimes good for raising your spirits, but you must not overdo it.

A good cooler of hot overseas heads.

That's right, and "Topol" will still serve. Especially modernized for the new block guidance system. They, too, were recently tested for maneuverability-detection and also went well. Well done! And let them talk that Russia drank itself and fell apart. Such is our complex, and we are not shy !!!

I heartily congratulate the entire working team on a successful launch! Great job! Keep it up countrymen!

Actually Yars and built on the basis of Topol

Add some joy!

Positive News Day today! Well done rocket men!

[Observer2014]

ICBM RS-24 "Yars" is capable of carrying at least 4 individually guided warheads.
The fact that ours made a successful launch five points to them for it!
But I’m interested in something else. And Yars will be able to lay 4 warheads at a target from Kapustin Yar at a training ground in Kazakhstan. Monoblock Poplar is easy, there were already two launches. But here is a 4-block Yars!
If Europe can, it will very much suffer from diarrhea.

[Talgat]

but in general there is the problem of updating the Strategic Missile Forces to Satan and the UR100 are already old - they are repeatedly prolonged - but you can’t do this indefinitely - and most of the blocks are on these old missiles

The aggressor may have an illusion of impunity

T e Russia and all of us are now "walking along the edge" - we will have time - we will not have time

The most important thing is that this Sarmat was launched on time and managed to be done in the right amount - to replace the URs and Voivods

Well, at least the new SSBNs have gone - there is some compensation - but all the same, ground-based strategic missile forces will be the basis of security

In general, these problems are very out of time - this is due to the collapse of the USSR and the betrayal of the Gorbachev Eltsins, etc.
T e China has not yet gained potential - and Russia's strategic nuclear forces are outdated - the aggressor is tempted

I hope, of course, that we will all survive this dangerous period - and the Sarmatians will take up duty - and then China will become "Hegomon No. 2" and the United States will no longer have time for us

Then we will think how to isolate ourselves from the Chinese "friendship"

Here it is a retaliatory strike.

I’m terribly interested, but how can they be tested and tested and can be used again, or is it cut into metal?

"Greenhouse Greenhouse Combine" is intended for year-round use in all climatic zones of the country ... Something like this

It already smells like ground and not tested .. God forbid, of course ..!

[NDR-791]

This is what it smells like, and already distinctly ... And at the expense of the need for real tests, they abandoned them not so much because of ecology, but simply because it became possible to mathematically simulate the previously tested ("live") parameters.

[Vitaly Anisimov]

There is nothing surprising here ... Everything works and flies and hits the set target! But what's wrong ..?

[roskot]

Gunpowder must be kept dry. And check that it would not get wet.

But I wonder who knows what the cost of launching such a rocket?

It costs a lot. It would be better to distribute rockets to pensioners and children.

Seriously, this launch should have been done anyway. Without it, the Strategic Missile Forces simply would not have accepted the next batch of ICBMs:

Borya comes to Yeltsin and says:
- Mr. President, is it true that a minute of war costs five million dollars?
Yes, my friend, unfortunately it is.
Mr. President, I have a commercial offer for you: let's stop the war for an hour !!! Enough even for our grandchildren !!!
(The truth of the times of Budennovsk ...)

It is symbolic. Kozelsk - "EVIL CITY". So it was called by the Horde in 1238. So let today's enemies teach Russian history. I look forward to the appearance of the Yevpatiy Kolovrat ICBM.

Who would doubt that!? The missile brothers hit both the target (conditionally) and the imagination of a potential adversary (quite realistic)! ..

[Gunther]

This can be seen as a peculiar response to NATO's bustle in the Mediterranean (Trident Juncture-2015).
We send them a ray of light and understanding (let him incinerate these woodpeckers).

But nothing, if they, the Americans also test uncharted routes. Instead of Kvadzheleyn use for example Russia? After all, for a change, too, is not the worst option ...

Let's go back. Would you like to have a "House in the Village" at the training ground? Very cheap, almost for nothing ...

Yeah. Written off "Topol" and under the new system of breeding blocks in the amount ONE UNIT

Can be cut into metal, especially a plastic container

Right, sorry. What about a conditional target for their missiles, for example Moscow? Or still let them shoot at the firing range, without such proposed frills ???
