Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN): Discussion & News

Nice

If the collective Western warmonger retards want to hyperventilate about "Russian agression" or "invasion of (the) Ukraine" then lets give these fukstiks something to worry about.  The only thing that gives these evil reptiles in US/EU/NATO a reason for pause is the concern that going too far might result in sudden arrival of 600 kT buckets of artificial sunshine delivered straight to their doors. Uber Eats has nothing on this weeks specials from Russias Strategic Rocket Forces.  Order a Yars , get a Bulava for free.



After us, silence.

In 2022, the share of modern weapons of the Strategic Missile Forces is planned to be increased to 86%

In particular, the rearmament to the Avangard complexes continues, said the commander of the Strategic Missile Forces, Colonel-General Sergei Karakaev.

MOSCOW, 5 June. /TASS/. The share of modern weapons of the Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN) is planned to be increased to 86% this year, Colonel General Sergei Karakaev, commander of the Strategic Missile Forces, said in the Military Acceptance program on the Zvezda TV channel.

"We continue to re-equip with Avangard complexes. Sarmat - we are approaching putting the first regiment on combat duty in the Uzhur formation this year. Further, their number will only increase. The level of modern armament today of the Strategic Rocket Forces according to last year - 83%, the task is to increase by the end of this year, taking into account the putting on combat duty of the complexes, up to 86%," Karakaev said.

As reported by the Russian Defense Ministry in early 2020, the Strategic Missile Forces will completely switch to modern missile systems by 2024. On December 21, 2021, at an expanded meeting of the board of the military department, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that more than 20 launchers with Yars, Avangard and Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles will be delivered in 2022.

Russia will develop a new "killer missile" for the Navy
Russia is developing a new “aircraft carrier killer” — the Zmievik ballistic missile with hypersonic combat equipment for the Navy. This was reported by TASS with reference to sources close to the military-industrial complex.
“The Zmeevik ballistic missile with hypersonic combat equipment has been developed for quite a long time. It will be designed to destroy large surface targets, primarily aircraft carriers, ”the agency reports. According to one of the sources, the missile may enter service with coastal missile units of the Navy.
In July, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the successful launch of the Sarmat stationary-based intercontinental ballistic missile from the Plesetsk cosmodrome. It is the most powerful missile in the world with the longest target range, capable of overcoming any missile defense systems that exist and can be created in the future. Russian President Vladimir Putin specified that the newest missile system would be put into operation at the end of 2022. https://ura.news/news/1052569306

The AShBM will be 1 more arrow in their quiver that will make up whatever gaps in other platforms they may have.

At the breakup of the SU, Soviets were quite advanced in experimenting with multiple warheads AShMs. I suppose this is a kind of follow-up to this projects.

The missile will probably be based on the RS 26. So Russia has a ready-made platform. The question is whether the warhead will be a HGV or something with a scramjet engine such as a Cirkon as the last element.

Interesting article about the Makeev office and strategic missile projects. About Sarmatians etc.

Here is such a curiosity.

Incidentally, the Sarmat ICBM also uses a number of special-purpose solid-propellant engines. Including the own developments of the GRC Makeev, which perform certain functions throughout the entire trajectory of the rocket. wrote:

Shoigu said that five formations of the Strategic Missile Forces are preparing to deploy new missile systems

The head of the Ministry of Defense noted that work continues on the creation of an interspecific test site in the Krasnoyarsk Territory through the space forces.

MOSCOW, 30 November. /TASS/. New missile systems are going to be deployed in five formations of the Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN), head of the department Sergei Shoigu said at a meeting of the collegium of the Russian Defense Ministry on Wednesday.
"At the end of the meeting, we will discuss the draft list of capital construction facilities for the next year. At the moment, five formations of the Strategic Missile Forces have completed the construction of infrastructure facilities to accommodate new missile systems," he said.

The head of the Ministry of Defense noted that work is continuing along the lines of the space forces to create an interspecific test site in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. In the Navy, coastal energy infrastructure facilities in the village of Gadzhiyevo and facilities of the main base in Kaspiysk were put into operation. According to him, all the tasks set by Russian President Vladimir Putin to restore infrastructure in new regions of the country are being fulfilled ahead of schedule. When preparing a list of capital construction projects for 2023, special attention will be paid to construction in the interests of strategic nuclear forces, Shoigu added.

"It is important to maintain a balanced approach to construction planning within the allocated budget funds. It is necessary to ensure the commissioning of infrastructure facilities and simultaneously with the supply of modern weapons and military equipment to the troops," the minister set the task.

Missile launches in 2022 and plans for 2023

According to the commander of the Strategic Rocket Forces, Russia conducted four missile launches in 2022 (all of them from Plesetsk) and plans to launch eight missiles in 2023. Some launches will be conducted from the Kapustin Yar test site.

Two of these four launches were conducted as part of strategic exercise - mobile Yars on 19 February 2022 and on 26 October 2022. One launch was the first flight test of the Sarmat ICBM on 20 April 2022.

There was no official announcement of the fourth launch. It is reported to be a test launch of a Sirena-M command missile, based on Yars ICBM, that was conducted in June 2022.

The upcoming launches of ICBMs from Kapustin Yar may be somewhat significant. In these launches an ICBM is normally launched to the Sary-Shagan site in Kazakhstan. The array of radars deployed at Sary-Shagan by the Soviet Union helps collect all kinds of data related to warhead re-entry. The most recent test of this kind took place in November 2019 (there was another one shortly before that, in July 2019). One potential issue is that Kazakhstan is a state party to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which entered into force in January 2021. The treaty prohibits its parties from assisting anyone in any activity prohibited by the treaty. While ICBMs are not, of course, nuclear weapons, carrying nuclear warheads is their only mission (at least today). One can interpret TPNW provisions in different ways, but I would think that assisting someone in developing better ICBMs is not exactly consistent with the treaty obligations. It is, of course, something for states parties to decide.
