the newest models in 20 years. No need to keep an ICBM functional for 50+ years. The US is going to learn the hard way
that this is not the proper approach.

The facilities which make the Soyuz-5 or Angara rocket could be making the Sarmat's replacement whenever it becomes necessary to do it. The tools equipment are basically the same and the know how is pretty similar. There is some specialized knowledge to handle hypergolics. But not THAT different. I already said more than once that I think Russia has way too many liquid rocket families for space launch and this is another manifestation of the same issue. Russia needs to handle its budget more carefully than the US since it can't just blow money uselessly like they do.

Are the ATGMs and rockets launched by Mi-28, Ka-52 cold launched?GarryB wrote:Cold launch systems means reloading is quicker and easier because there is no damage to the launch tube.
To be clear cold launch means the motor of the missile or rocket is not started till it is clear of the launch tube... their might be flames coming out of the launch tube as the cold launch system used to eject the weapon might include a rocket motor too.
Who are these people? South Korea is surviving on Russian product management techniques. Ditto for China. Most Russian university toppers in STEM are immediately hired by Samsung, Huawei and other Asian tech giants.kvs wrote:People find the product development process in Russia strange because it seems to occur from enterprises that are not nominally
focused on such development.

I gather, helicopter launched rockets cannot be cold launched. ATGMs probably. Not sure though.
I think they should tell the EU to insert their car regs up Ursula dan ver Hairgel's date ....

But a number of helicopter launched rockets being used by both Russia and NATO are precision guided. So they don't need to follow a ballistic path. Yet these rockets are not cold launched.GarryB wrote:Rockets are generally hot launched and follow a ballistic path so the shift in weight as the rocket fuel burns is accounted for in the ballistic charts or ballistic aiming tables for them
