They let them in at night. So that someone did not see.

here at night, just the same, it’s better to see

Obama's reaction to what he saw at "N" hour:

I saw the "Poplar" in the sky ..
What did I want at that moment? ..
I would like to return everything back,
Shove your "cool" into the * opa,
For Russians drink a gram so one hundred
And pass the rules of the TRP ...

These "some" had a day. Moreover, "Kapustin Yar - Sary-shagan" is not more than 2 km. What topic do you think some screech, howl, yelp and howl will come up on?

no more than 2 km

In Kamchatka, missiles are tested at full range and full flight cycle. At Sary Shagan, they are experiencing the work and guidance of multiple warheads.

On Sary Shagan they experience work and guidance

But is this not an occasion for whining about violations by Russia of the INF Treaty? So prove that you are not a camel.

Well, Happy New Year, dear "Western partners"! And here are our New Year's firecrackers

[moskowit]

Thank you for the collage. Great greeting card!
It's a pity you can’t be encouraged twice.

[Hyppopotut]

But you can give it twice!
Yes, only for Europe it will be too much ! This is for partners over a large puddle.

[VNP1958PVN]

able to overcome the missile defense system,

Has the State Department already expressed concern or is changing diapers?

[aszzz888]

Fly very well! In order not to jinx it!
Happy New Year, "Poplar"!

[Tummyr]

This is of course a button accordion, but isn't the given distance for medium-range missiles?
Or are they "multi-ballistic missiles"?

[DenZ]

predetermined distance isn't for medium-range missiles

Most likely she completed the test tasks and landed nearby (in Kazakhstan). Why fly so far if only the initial section of the trajectory is needed for testing (usually they are testing anti-missile defense systems).

This is a new word in the theory of overcoming missile defense! Can be more?

I asked Poplar:
"Where is my America ??"
"Poplar" laughed in response:
"Well listen, I'm sorry ..."

[yuriy55]

Itself sang:

Poplars, poplars all in fluff ...

in the sense that to the nines ...

[Rosty]

If you want to go to America, join the Strategic Missile Forces! ... you will not miss

[Taygerus]

Our fellows, good luck to the rockets in the New Year!
the State Department as always strains and expresses concern, but we ...
Happy New Year!

[Alex_59]

I really can’t understand one thing. How do they shoot Topol at Sary-Shagan? It's just 2000 km, in theory Topol can’t shoot so close.

the launch goal was to test promising military equipment for intercontinental ballistic missiles

Looks like something is just being tested in hardware.

[Yuri VO]

This is a measuring path for collecting, analyzing, processing complex telemetric and special information.

[Panabebis]

It's all his fault ...

[An64]

... and the one on the left in the photo - the fifth year is already on the bunk ...

Bashlakov Anatoly Aleksandrovich March 1, 2011 the 3rd district military court sentenced to 7 years in prison for a bribe in the amount of 700 000 rubles, received by him in his former position as head of the spaceport. According to an unofficial version, he took the bribe for a “correctly” contract signed with merchants for the disposal of radioactive waste from the cosmodrome. Unofficially, according to Kommersant, because the investigation of the general criminal case was held in strict secrecy

Poplars near my city, friends there work. Here in our car industry would have such an acceptance of products ... and then sell this car industry at today's prices ... believe me, then foreign cars would not have been for free!

Well, to be honest, then we and the American are warning each other in advance about such things.

Of course it is!
Therefore, comments like "the State Department in a panic" do not make sense. We and they know about all launches!

[Raptor_RB]

Hello to all our fellow factory workers and Happy New Year) Another product flawlessly flew and flew where it should. Just under the Christmas tree) 95th, keep it up :)

Historical background

[Oprichnik]

YES ... Bashlakov ate his ryahu. When the forest floated to the left, being a regiment commander at the 41st site, he shared. And then, apparently, he imagines himself the last resort and "punishment has found a hero." It's sad. It's a shame for the state, believe me, these are not lofty words. When I served, I heard and saw a lot. There was a feeling that corruption was worse and more terrible than in the highest army echelons. An, no. Exists. How rotten everything is!

[aud13]

Could this Poplar be planted somewhere in Syria in the area of ​​compact residence of Daesh?
Pleasant with useful, so to speak ...

[Old26]

So what did they launch? "Topol" or "Topol-E" ?? As far as I remember, the Topol with new combat equipment is not being tested.

[ZaSU-24]

It is reported that "the training warhead of the rocket ... it was necessary instead of the training, combat and according to the Daesh
