The Russian military has successfully tested a short-range ballistic missile interceptor designed to destroy incoming nuclear warheads with a nuclear explosion in the air. These missiles are used in Moscow’s anti-ballistic missile system.
The A-135 ABM system protects Russia’s capital and its surroundings from a possible nuclear missile attack. It consists of phased-array radar, a command center, and launchers that release two types of interceptor missiles, the long-range 51T6 and the short-range 53T6.

On Friday, Russia’s strategic missile forces and air and missile defense forces jointly tested a 53T6 missile at the Sary Shagan test range in Kazakhstan. Of course, the missile, which has been dubbed Gazelle by NATO, didn’t have a nuclear warhead like those in the 68 silos around Moscow.

“During the test, the ABM system interceptor successfully performed its task and hit a provisionary target,” Deputy Commander of the Air and Missile Defense Andrey Prikhodko said.

The video of the test was provided by the Russian Defense Ministry.

The Russian military tests interceptor missiles once or twice a year to confirm their combat readiness.
The 10-meter-long rocket reportedly can deliver a 10-kiloton nuclear tip a distance of up to 80 kilometers at a speed of three kilometers per second.

Russia is currently developing a new interceptor missile that is now approaching a phase that requires intensive test launches, according to Russian military officials. Dubbed the Nudol, most information about the long-range projectile is classified.

The Russian Air Force has successfully tested an upgraded version of its missile defense system, firing off a modernized anti-ballistic missile from a testing facility in Kazakhstan. The test was caught on film.
TrendsRussia-NATO relations
The missile was test-fired on Thursday from the Sary Shagan testing range located in the steppe of Kazakhstan, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

Though the Defense Ministry did not disclose the type of the missile, it released a spectacular video showing the cylindrical projectile being transported on a heavy truck and then uploaded into a silo.

“The anti-ballistic missile followed the flight plan and successfully hit a mock target,” said Colonel Andrey Prikhodko of the Russian Air Force. The officer did not elaborate on the test, but said all objectives of the test “have been completed in full.”

Russia is among the few military powers to have developed a fully-operational ballistic missile defense system, commonly known as the A-135. The 53T6 anti-ballistic missile, the main component of the A-135, is believed to protect the airspace around Moscow.

According to the Defense Ministry the system, comprising interceptor missiles and sophisticated early warning radars, is also designed for monitoring outer space. The system is currently in use with the Russian Air Force.

The news comes at a time when Washington is building up its ballistic missile shield in Europe. Recently, the US has installed a new Aegis Ashore missile defense system in Romania, sparking fresh tensions with Russia. Poland is to install its component of the missile shield in 2018.

While the US insists that the Aegis Ashore systems are installed to help protect European allies from Iran or North Korea’s missile threats, Moscow believes that the systems can be easily adapted to deploy offensive weapons.

Although PLA said their huge biggy DF-41 rocket is adaptable to become an ultra powerful interceptor and satellite killer, it is mainly a TEL mobile. This Russian interceptor is specialized to intercept only. It is as large / heavy as DF-21 and it is using NUKE against incoming ICBM. IT IS SILO BASED (fixed deployment) not TEL mobile. And obviously multi-staged, as video showed it switched to 2nd stage rocket within less than 60 sec from launching.

No shit! Chinese says Putin has a new SLBM without Submarine, aka under-sea fixed SLBM, which is surely better than silo in terms of avoiding detection and surviving from attacks. It is deployed secretly by small submarines. Chinese says they will be learning this trick from Puin.

Silos can not be hidden from satellites' view, hence had been always marked for monitoring and 1st strike elimination.

从内陆水下发射弹道导弹首先是安全
  前俄罗斯空天军总司令维克托·邦达列夫一语惊人。他说:“我们的军火库里有核动力导弹巡洋舰和强大的反舰导弹——‘锆石’高超音速导弹和‘赛艇’海底弹道导弹。”据俄罗斯生活新闻网站11月22日发表题为《“锆石”和“赛艇”:武器新时代》的文章称,专家认为,邦达列夫要么是“白痴”,要么是“叛徒”,他要么是在吹牛,要么就是把俄罗斯最秘密的武器公开了。实际上,只要拥有“赛艇”和“锆石”,对俄罗斯发动的任何核打击就失去意义了。这些秘密武器将极大改变全球地缘政治图景。

Aj3q-fypatmw6049397.jpg
水下弹道导弹的作战示意图
  一般来讲,关于战略核导弹的部署方式有三种,一是陆基弹道导弹,包括陆基地井弹道导弹、陆基机动弹道导弹和铁路机动弹道导弹,主要有美国的“民兵-3”、中国的东风-26和俄罗斯的SS-24;二是潜基弹道导弹,主要是战略核潜艇携带的弹道导弹,包括美国“俄亥俄”级携带的“三叉戟Ⅱ”D5型、俄罗斯的RS-26“边界”和中国的“巨浪-2”;三是空基巡航核导弹,主要有大型战略轰炸机携带,像美国B-1B和B-2A携带的AGM-86B,俄罗斯图-160携带的X-55SM和中国轰-6K携带的CJ-10导弹等。

Nq1w-fypathz5837030.jpg
图-160实施核打击的想象图
  但俄罗斯总是别出心裁,实际上早在2013年就传出在白海试验一种世界上独一无二的水下杀手——“赛艇”海底弹道导弹的消息。这种弹道导弹应该是俄罗斯继铁路机动弹道导弹之后,研发的又一款神秘武器。该导弹可以部署在海底,以导弹方箱的方式坐沉在海底,平时可以不用维护管理,而一旦开战接到指挥部的指令,可随时激活已对敌方的陆地及海上目标实施打击。但目前无论是俄军方,还是相关研究机构都拒绝透露研制“赛艇”导弹的详情,因此为其蒙上一层神秘的面纱。

idbD-fypatmw6049399.jpg
俄罗斯新型战略核潜艇服役
  那么,俄罗斯装备“赛艇”海底弹道导弹有什么好处呢?据说这有三个好处,一是可避开美俄有关条约的限制,因为俄只是把这类导弹部署到其内湖里,比如拉多加湖、白海和贝加尔湖等大型湖泊里,这些湖泊的深度均超过200米,很适宜部署;二是令敌人无法探测,因为“赛艇”导弹部署在俄内陆湖里,美国只有通过卫星进行侦察这一种方法,但这是根本无法发现目标的,大大提高了导弹打击的隐蔽性;三是价廉物美,其它导弹发射平台平日都需要几十数百人进行管理维护,而“赛艇”导弹则不然,一般5年检修一次。

BftX-fypceiq2002421.jpg
中国的巨浪-2导弹也有这种部署可能性
  分析认为,随着近年来俄罗斯经济的恢复,各种新一代武器装备的研制也纷纷启动。虽然俄罗斯不可能像在冷战时期那样与美国展开全面军备竞赛,但在关键领域进行竞争是可能且必要的。而部署在海底的‘赛艇’导弹对敌人来说几乎是无法发现的,可以无需动用敌人容易发现的战略潜艇而打击敌人的战略目标,相比于弹道导弹核潜艇,优势非常明显。从重新启用铁路机动导弹列车,到新一代955A型战略核潜艇下水,再到图-160M2下线,可以看出俄罗斯正在一步步走上与美国战略对抗的新道路!(作者署名:军评陈光文)

前俄军司令曝俄已有海底弹道导弹 从贝加尔湖发射可防核武
2017-11-24 10:12:55 来源:参考军事 责任编辑:黄晋一
核心提示:海底导弹对潜艇的优势显而易见。核潜艇不但比弹道导弹贵得多,而且会被声呐跟踪。一旦爆发冲突,潜艇还可能被摧毁。但水底导弹不会。往贝加尔湖里投核弹是没有意义的。

参考消息网11月24日报道 俄罗斯生活新闻网站11月22日发表了亚历山大·别列津的题为《“锆石”和“赛艇”:武器新时代》的文章。

前俄罗斯空天军总司令维克托·邦达列夫一语惊人。他说:“我们的军火库里有核动力导弹巡洋舰和强大的反舰导弹——‘锆石’高超音速导弹和‘赛艇’海底弹道导弹。”专家认为,邦达列夫要么是“白痴”,要么是“叛徒”。这种情绪化的反应可以理解。实际上,只要拥有“赛艇”和“锆石”,对我国的攻击就失去意义了。这些秘密武器将极大改变全球地缘政治图景。

著名武器军事专家伊利亚·克拉姆尼克在自己的脸书主页上写道:“要么邦达列夫说了关于海底弹道导弹的实话,那样的话他要为泄露国家机密而坐牢——违反海底条约和限制战略武器条约可不是闹着玩的。要么他是在撒谎,那样的话他就是一个危险的白痴,因为这种话可能招致灾难。”

先说国家机密。研制“赛艇”导弹不过是老生常谈,2013年就有消息称,这种准备保存在水底的导弹完成度已经很高。“锆石”则更加透明:国家媒体2017年报道了它开始量产的消息。如果非要指责邦达列夫,那也应该先怪罪俄新社的编辑。当然,这种国家媒体根本不会出卖国家机密,除非是国家“有必要”发声。

此外,“赛艇”海底弹道导弹不违反海底条约。因为该条约管不到俄罗斯领水——比如白海和贝加尔湖。我国有10个深度超过200米的湖。新导弹在白海和北冰洋近岸水域也可以合法执行战斗值班,这样的地方多得是。

“赛艇”实际上只是普通的远程潜射弹道导弹。它放在海底的特制集装箱里,这种容器可以隔绝压力,与地面控制站保持通信。一旦岸上发来信号,集装箱的压载水舱就会进气排水,上浮到水下50米深处,然后从那里发射导弹,跟潜艇一样。

海底导弹对潜艇的优势显而易见。核潜艇不但比弹道导弹贵得多,而且会被声呐跟踪。一旦爆发冲突,潜艇还可能被摧毁。但水底导弹不会。往贝加尔湖里投核弹是没有意义的。水可以有效地削弱核冲击,哪怕爆炸就在集装箱上方,“赛艇”导弹也能安然无恙。就算理论上能研制出钻入深湖投下核深水炸弹的“神奇导弹”,在湖底找到“赛艇”也难比登天。所以,“神奇导弹”没有用。

Putin have quite a few creative Deadly Nuke ideas that USA have no defend for.

Here is a huge nuke torpedo or undersea ICBM to range 6200mi (exactly sufficient to nuke NY & whole East Coast's cities from Russia. It can dive as deep as 3280 feet and speed 56knots (100kh/h).

This is not detectable by existing US defense. No submarine is needed to go a long way (& return) just like a drone for single use. It will give US cities @1million ton TNT equivalent nuke warhead. Enough to wipe cities off maps.

Pentagon Confirms Russia Has a Submarine Nuke Delivery Drone

This is very bad news.

By Kyle Mizokami
Dec 8, 2016



The Pentagon has confirmed that a new Russian nuclear delivery drone is real. The undersea drone, which carries an enormous nuclear warhead to destroy coastal cities and military bases, was tested late last month. The test was leaked by unnamed sources to The Washington Free Beacon.

Russia calls the system "Ocean Multipurpose System 'Status-6," and it is allegedly capable of traveling underwater to distances of to 6,200 miles. It can submerge to depths of 3,280 feet and travel at speeds of up to 56 knots.

The U.S. intelligence agencies estimate Status-6 will carry a multi-megaton thermonuclear bomb payload. For comparisons' sake the bomb dropped on Hiroshima was 16 kilotons, several orders of magnitude smaller. A one megaton bomb is the equivalent of 1,000 kilotons—one one million tons of TNT. Reports from Russia indicate the bomb could be as large as 100 megatons.

Status-6 is designed to attack enemy coastal cities, ports, shipyards, and naval bases. Once Status-6 arrives at its destination it detonates the bomb, causing an enormous amount of damage through blast and heat. A 100 megaton bomb would generate artificial tsunamis, carrying the destruction far inshore.

As bad as that sounds, it gets even worse. Reports from Russia indicate the bomb could be armed with a "salted bomb", or one that "salts the Earth" with the dangerous isotope Cobalt-60. Such a bomb could spread such high levels of radioactivity it would prevent anyone from using the attack zone for approximately 100 years. Depending on location and prevailing weather conditions, such an explosion would also carry vast amounts of radiation inland.

The existence of Status-6 was originally greeted with some skepticism—the weapon sounds so horrible, so devastating, and so completely over the top it is difficult to process that someone would actually want to build such a thing. Unfortunately for all of mankind, it appears that it is very real.

Russia is thought to have conceived of Status-6 as a response to America's missile defense system. Although the system is so small it cannot hope to stop a concerted Russian nuclear attack, the Russians have been looking at ways to defeat it. Status-6 skirts around the missile defense system entirely by going underwater to attack American nuclear submarine bases such as those at Kings Bay, Georgia and Kitsap, Washington. While this wouldn't stop American "boomer" missile subs already at sea, in a prolonged nuclear war it destroy submarines in port and would prevent subs at sea from going back for missile reloads.

Status-6 would be a difficult weapon to stop. Its top speed of 56 knots would be faster than the current generation of American homing torpedoes, meaning it could simply outrun its pursuers. It's alleged maximum depth would allow it to dive much deeper than American torpedoes. A faster, deeper-diving torpedo is technically possible but would have to be developed first.

According to the Free Beacon, intelligence agencies monitored a test of the drone on November 27th. The drone was accompanied by a Sarov-class weapons testing submarine. Based with Russia's Northern Fleet, Sarov submarine may act as a mothership to Status-6 in wartime.

The drone's existence was originally revealed in 2015. The release, which was thought to have been an embarrassing mistake, stated the drone would be ready by 2019, with tests to begin in 2019-2020. This "mistake" may have been intentional to fool foreign intelligence agencies into believing the program was not as far along as it really was.

Russia Wants the Strangest of All Weapons: An 'Underwater ICBM'
e5yrtyrt.jpg

TweetShareShare

Before the U.S. spends trillions on developing on strategic anti-torpedo defense, let's take a close look at the alleged Russian super-weapon. First, a torpedo with a 6,000-mile range weapon isn't a torpedo, it's an underwater ICBM. Except that a real ICBM can reach targets on the other side of the world because missiles zoom into open sky, into outer space, and then down again through more open sky. But 3,000 feet below the ocean are lots of undersea mountains and canyons (a U.S. nuclear sub nearly sank after colliding with a mountain at a depth of 525 feet). So how exactly would a Status-6 torpedo travel 6,000 miles without slamming into a rock, unless it had some kind of ultra-sophisticated navigation system, or there were kamikaznik pilots at the controls?

Is Russia declaring war on the fish in the deep blue sea?

Moscow claims to be developing a nuclear super-torpedo that can radioactively contaminate economic targets on enemy coasts, which presumably includes fishing grounds. The weapon was revealed last month when Russian state TV "accidentally" broadcast a shot of a document being read by a military commander during a meeting with President Vladimir Putin.

The Status-6 torpedo is designed to create "wide areas of radioactive contamination," according to the BBC translation. The submarine-launched weapon can "destroy important economic installations of the enemy in coastal areas and cause guaranteed devastating damage to the country's territory by creating wide areas of radioactive contamination, rendering them unusable for military, economic or other activity for a long time."

Recommended: Could the Battleship Make a Comeback?

But that's not all. The "leaked" document describes a torpedo with a range of 10,000 kilometers (6,200 miles) and a depth of 1,000 meters (3,300 feet). They will be launched from Russia's newest “Belgorod” and “Khabarovsk” nuclear missile sub projects.

(This first appeared in late 2015.)

As if that's not enough, despite government spokesmen calling the leak an accident and removing footage of the document, the state-run Rossiiskaya Gazeta newspaper described Status-6 as a "giant torpedo—essentially a robotic submarine" with a speed of 100 knots (115 miles per hour) and armed with a cobalt warhead.

This isn't a weapon. It's a Transformer.

Recommended: 5 Reasons No Nation Wants to Go to War with Israel

A speed of 100 knots is quite zippy for a torpedo: the U.S. MK-48 has an estimated speed of only fifty-five knots. In that regard, the Status-6 sounds closer to the Shkval, the Russian high-speed supercavitating torpedo. But the Shkval and the MK-48 are tactical weapons designed to sink nearby ships. The Status-6 is supposed to be a strategic nuclear weapon. At a speed of 100 knots, it would take almost thirty-six hours to travel 4,000 miles from Murmansk to New York. An ICBM launched from Russia would take just a half hour, and even less if fired from a sub off the East Coast.

So why build such a weapon, or even talk about building it? There is a clue in the final sentence of the Rossiiskaya Gazeta article, which speaks of Status-6 as being part of Perimeter, the Soviet-built automatic command system that is supposed to launch a retaliatory missile strike should Russia's leaders be wiped out by an American first strike. The implication seems to be that Status-6 will deter a U.S. nuclear attack. Frankly, given that Americans would be busy climbing from under the radioactive rubble created by Russian ICBMs, nuclear torpedoes would be the least of their worries.

Pages

And what exactly would Status-6 target? The weapon is described as striking economic targets in coastal areas. But interestingly, it is also supposed to be capable of creating radioactive dead zones (hence the cobalt warhead, which creates extreme radioactivity). The blast of a nuclear warhead would be sufficient to destroy a port city as an economic hub, but intense, long-term radioactivity would be more devastating to natural resources such as offshore oil fields and fisheries.

So the message from Moscow seems to be: We won't just destroy your cities. We'll nuke your tuna fish as well.

Russia's 'secret' underwater nuclear mega bomb creates ripples throughout the world

A TV grab of 'Status 6’ that contains details of the long range 'multipurpose system’ that can strike at a target 10,000 km away.
NEW DELHI: The 'leak' of an ambitious plan by Moscow to develop an autonomous underwater vehicle armed with a nuclear warhead has taken the strategic community by storm, with some Russian experts terming it as being as significant as the arrival of the Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) in the late 1950s.

While the concept of a long range nuclear torpedo with inter-continental range has been around for a while, the new Russian project, known as of now only as 'Status 6' is more akin to a roving submarine designed for a single, suicide mission to annihilate a coastal target by emerging undetected from deep underwater.

The plans for the project were `leaked' in a Russian television report on President Vladimir Putin's meeting with military officials earlier this week. A TV grab of `Status 6' that contains details of the long range 'multipurpose system' that can strike at a target 10,000 km away.

Unlike the ICBM's that form the bulk of the Russian and even Chinese nuclear strike force as of now, Status 6 is designed to - according to the leaked document - travel undetected at depths of close to 1000 meters and at a speed three times faster than any submarine in the world.

The document identifies the designer of the new system as Russia's Rubin Design bureau based in St Petersburg that currently is tasked for conventional underwater systems as well as strategic submarines. The purpose of the new system, according to the Russian document, is the annihilation of the enemy's economic facilities in coastal region and 'unacceptable damage' to the country.

There is much speculation in the western media however on whether the plans for the Status 6 project were deliberately leaked by Russia to warn its enemies or was an inadvertent mistake. Moscow's almost immediate public reprimand of the Russian Television for broadcasting `secret information' has raised suspicions of a targeted leak.

However, irrespective of the manner in which the information came out, Status 6 could be the next level of strategic deterrence for Russia that has of late embarked on an ambitious plan to revive its armed forces. A nuclear bomb roaming the depths of the oceans remotely would be a scary scenario for any nation to deal with. While in the past most nations have innovated on missile defence systems and early warning devices for missiles and aircraft, it is much harder to detect, track and neutralize targets underwater.

"More details are needed but this thing appears to incorporate huge achievements in at least four very different areas of science and technology. The advent of this thing is comparable to the advent of the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in the late 1950s," a Russian expert who did not wish to be identified told ET. Information coming to Russia indicates that the project is in a fairly advanced stage and successful tests have already been carried out.

Russia confirms 6,000mph HYPERSONIC Zircon missile ready for war ‘as of TODAY'
RUSSIA has confirmed it now has hypersonic weapons in its arsenal – with missiles capable of reaching more than 6,000mph.


By Henry Holloway / Published 24th November 2017
Vladimir Putin’s defence bosses confirmed “as of today” its military has weapons which we can supposedly fly up to eight times of the speed of sound.

Head of the defence council Viktor Bondarev confirmed the Zircon cruise missile is now available in Russia’s arsenal while speaking on Tuesday.

The weapon – which Russia boasts is capable of Mach 8 – was last tested back in June.

Hypersonic weapons are the at the centre of the next arms race between the US, China and Russia.

And it appears Moscow have taken an early lead as they boast the weapons can beat NATO missile interceptors.

Bondarev
The Zircon – also known as Tsirkon – has been in development for over 20 years since first being unvieled in 1995.

Russian warships, submarines, missile launchers and planes will be armed with weapon capable of manoeuvring around defence systems.

It is designed to blast enemy ships out of the water and is capable of flying 250 miles at speeds of up to 6,138mph.

Chillingly, current Royal Navy missile interceptors are only capable of shooting down missiles hurtling towards them at speeds of Mach 3.

Bondarev said: “As of today, we have in our arsenal unique strategic bombers tactical missile systems with powerful ballistic and cruise missiles, Sarmat heavy missile complexes, air defence missile systems, intercontinental ballistic missiles, nuclear-powered missile cruisers with powerful anti-ship missiles and Skif bottom missiles.”

Russian media reports he is referring to the hypersonic weapons when he says “powerful anti-ship missiles”.

Moscow has been investing billions as its looks to bring Russia back to the world stage as a military superpower on par with NATO.

Scientists have previously warned Russia is up to 15 years ahead in the new hypersonic arms race.

Russian Army has been flexing its muscles by staging massive military exercises

A huge military exercise has be staged in the Kamchatka region of far eastern Russian, where more than 1,000 Russian infantrymen from the National Guard of the Russian Federation took part in drills and training.

Russian forces also tested it on their Backfire bombers, and from ground-based missile launchers.

The missile is said to be so advanced, Russian scientists have had to develop new fuel to power it.

俄罗斯“赛艇”海底弹道导弹价值思考
来源:中国航天报 日期:2013/07/05 字体:【大】【中】【小】
  近日,俄罗斯传闻已久的新型水底弹道导弹终于浮出水面。

  这个被誉为“海底刺客”的“赛艇”弹道导弹,由圣彼得堡“红宝石”中央设计局与马克耶夫国家导弹中心联合研制,导弹由潜艇布设在海底,平时可部署在海底待命,战时根据特殊指令激活并发射升空,从水下发射打击水上和陆地目标。

  独一无二的设计理念

  “赛艇”潜射弹道导弹在当今世界上是独一无二的。它可以布设在海底,而且无需战略潜艇或者水面舰艇携带即可根据指令随时对陆地及海上目标进行打击。该潜射战略导弹有不同于其他导弹的特点:

  首先,它摆脱了潜射战略导弹型号研制和发展受制核潜艇的现状。由于平台的限制,与陆基导弹发射平台易于实现相比,潜射战略导弹的型号发展受到了潜艇的严重制约。一般来说,战略导弹核潜艇的研制周期长、建设费用高,因此潜艇的保有量一般不多。同时,潜艇对潜射导弹的长度、直径、重量等进行了严格的限制,潜射导弹的总体性能往往不是最优,与相近年代的陆基导弹存在差距。

  “赛艇”导弹布置在海底,无需以战略核潜艇为作战平台,可以无需动用战略潜艇而打击敌人的战略目标。因此,相比于弹道导弹核潜艇,其优势非常明显,极大扩展了潜射导弹的发展空间。同时,也解除了发射平台对导弹总体研制一定程度的制约,有利于潜射导弹总体性能的提高。

  其次,它提高了导弹的生存能力和作战使用性能。核潜艇一次战略巡航很少能超过1个月。并且,一艘潜艇即使在最佳状态下,一年也只能出征5个月,其余7个月要进行人员休整和潜艇保养。

  俄罗斯国防网站编辑德米特里·科尔涅夫表示,战略导弹潜艇在敌人反潜装置跟踪之下是很脆弱的,它很容易被发现并遭受攻击。只要发现潜艇,必要时就可轻而易举地破坏导弹的发射。

  据推测,未来这种弹道导弹将装在储藏、运输、发射一体化容器中,由小型潜艇悄悄将其运输到预定海域投放。它将在海底潜伏,待接到激活指令后,再从海底发射升空执行攻击任务。可以说,部署在海底的“赛艇”导弹对敌人来说几乎是无法发现的。

  充满争议的新武器

  “赛艇”导弹由俄罗斯潜射导弹传统研制单位马克耶夫设计局承担,以该单位承研的SS-N-23“轻舟”导弹及其改进型“莱涅尔”导弹为基础,根据形势需要创新发展,既继承了成熟技术,确保研制的进度与质量,又实现了技术创新,能够满足新的核威慑需求。并且,多型不同功能、使命的导弹形成了系列化的导弹武器型谱,能够保证潜射导弹的长远可持续发展。

  该导弹突破了海基核力量必须依靠潜艇的传统思维。潜射战略导弹武器系统复杂庞大,不仅涉及到导弹本身,更受到发射平台的约束。“赛艇”导弹通过在近海岸海底布置导弹并隐蔽发射,不以潜艇为发射平台的思路,不仅能提高导弹的布置数量,减少了导弹平台费用,还能增强导弹的隐蔽性,提高作战使用性能。

  尽管如此,该导弹的发展还是引发了相关质疑。针对“赛艇”导弹,俄罗斯退役海军少将扎哈洛夫表示,如果敌人探明该导弹在海底的部署地点,就很容易将其清除。他认为,运送这种弹道导弹的小型潜艇很容易被跟踪,如果其行踪暴露,导弹的部署地点也就被发现,那就根本谈不上秘密布放,“一切都取决于小型潜艇的隐蔽性”。

  同时,如果导弹放置在水底开阔地段,先进的声呐系统可以轻而易举地发现,因此导弹的效用在很大程度上将取决于艇长的操作。

  弥补战略短板

  目前为止,无论是俄军还是相关研究机构,都拒绝透露研制“赛艇”导弹的真实原因。军事专家认为,研制这种导弹的目的在于对战略目标实施更隐蔽的打击。根据相关公开资料与俄罗斯近几年潜射战略导弹研制情况,对“赛艇”导弹的研制背景和原因能够有理性的认识。

  首先,俄罗斯目前的潜射战略导弹的核威慑能力不能满足俄罗斯的战略需求。美国一家信息分析机构的报告认为,俄罗斯目前在海洋上对美国基本不构成威胁,因为俄罗斯战略核潜艇在2012年的活动趋于零。而且美国五角大楼也给出确凿证明,称俄罗斯战略核潜艇去年从北方舰队与太平洋舰队的基地深入到海洋执行任务的只有5艘。与冷战时期比较,仅1984年一年,苏联海军就在全球海洋执行了102次战略巡航任务。相比之下,当今的俄罗斯三位一体核打击体系中存有明显的漏洞。

  其次,俄罗斯战略核潜艇的数量有限,生产和交付的进度较预期有差距。虽然近年来俄罗斯加快了第四代“北风之神”级战略核潜艇的研制与生产进度,如今年1月北方舰队接收了可携带12枚洲际弹道导弹的“尤里·多尔戈鲁基”潜艇,而其研制始于1996年且是该级别的首舰。第二艘潜艇“亚历山大·涅夫斯基”还处于海试中,第三艘“弗拉基米尔·莫诺马赫”在2012年12月才从船坞入水。

  总体来看,俄罗斯指望新型核潜艇迅速形成战斗力,并且弥补海基打击力量的薄弱环节难度较大。

  并且,由于布拉瓦新型固体潜射导弹服役期一再推迟,为弥补海基战略核力量逐渐萎缩、削弱的窘境,俄需要对技术成熟、战术指标较高的液体导弹进行持续的深度改进。

  近年来,莫斯科热力工程研究所负责研制的潜射固体战略导弹布拉瓦虽然取得了试验的连续成功,并开始交付部队,但当前液体导弹作为俄潜基核力量支柱地位并没有动摇,充分利用马克耶夫设计局在液体潜射导弹研制中形成的大量工程设计经验和积累,不断发展新型导弹武器系统,是俄罗斯一直坚持的道路。

  因此,从“赛艇”导弹的研制可以预见,未来相当长的一段时期内,“液固并存、同时发展”将是俄罗斯潜射战略导弹研制坚持不变的思路。(魏海鹏)

Ракета «Скиф»: Для США и Англии это страшнее «Циркона»
Стратегическое оружие нового принципа базирования готово к боевому дежурству

Владимир Тучков

Глава комитета Совета федерации по обороне и безопасности, экс-главнокомандующий ВКС генерал-полковник Виктор Бондарев сообщил, что гиперзвуковые противокорабельные ракеты «Циркон» и ракеты донного базирования «Скиф» входят в арсенал Вооруженных сил России.

Это заявление было сделано в ходе ознакомления журналистов с готовой к утверждению Владимиром Путиным Государственной программой вооружений на 2018−2025 годы. «На сегодняшний день мы имеем в своем арсенале уникальные стратегические бомбардировщики (Ту-160), ОТРК с мощными баллистическими и крылатыми ракетами (семейство «Искандеров»), ракетный комплекс «Сармат», комплексы ПВО С-400, межконтинентальные баллистические ракеты, атомные ракетные крейсеры с мощными противокорабельными гиперзвуковыми ракетами «Циркон», ракеты донного базирования «Скиф», — сказал Бондарев.

Сенатор перечислил в качестве наиболее актуальных оружейных комплексов и другие образцы, которые должны «встать на крыло» к середине следующего десятилетия. Среди них и перспективный истребитель-перехватчик, и ударные беспилотники, и новые высокоточные ракеты. Но наиболее интересным для рассмотрения оружием является ракета донного базирования «Скиф», сведения о которой в связи с секретностью разработки строго дозированы.

И «Циркон», и «Скиф» являются вооружением Военно-Морского флота России. Однако «Скиф» — оружие более серьезное, относящееся к ядерному оружию сдерживания. К созданию этой ракеты петербургское ЦКБ морской техники «Рубин» и миасский Государственный ракетный центр им. Макеева приступили в начале 90-х годов. Питерцы разрабатывали платформу, а миассцы непосредственно баллистическую ракету.

В зависимости от базирования ядерные баллистические ракеты подразделяются на три типа. Наземного базирования, воздушного и морского. Ракеты морского базирования устанавливаются на атомные подводные лодки, которые скрытно перемещаются в мировом океане.

Одно из главных требований к ядерным МБР — скрытность их нахождения. Это необходимо для того, чтобы противник не нанес по ним упреждающий удар, лишив возможности ответного удара. Первые наземные ракеты были в этом отношении наиболее уязвимы. Но затем появились мобильные «Тополь» и «Ярс», постоянно перемещающиеся по маршрутам патрулирования. А МБР «Воевода» (по натовской терминологии «Сатана») размещена в мощной шахте, способной выдержать ядерный удар. Таким же образом будет базироваться и комплекс «Сармат».

Дальний бомбардировщик получит новую ракету

Воздушная составляющая ядерной триады занимает промежуточное положение по скрытности. Ну, а самые замаскированные от всех видов стратегической разведки — МБР, установленные на подводных лодках. Примерно такой же уровень скрытности и у ракеты «Скиф». Она располагается на дне на достаточно большой глубине. И длительное время находится на постоянном дежурстве, ожидая команду на старт.

Известно, что первые испытания «Скифа» прошли в 2008 году. По их результатам в 2009 году опытные образцы были направлены на доработку. В 2013 году ракета была передана на государственные испытания. Точных данных о том, что «Скиф» принят на вооружение, нет. Слишком все секретно и очень туманно.

В связи с туманностью вопроса то там, то сям попадаются «достоверные свидетельства надежнейших источников», которые, видимо, не вполне знакомы с возможностями современных военных технологий. Наиболее «компетентные» рассказывают о двадцати ядерных боеголовках, которые летят к целям на окологиперзвуковых скоростях, огибая рельеф местности. При этом в них по максимуму использован искусственный интеллект, а сами они абсолютно невидимы для системы ПРО противника. При этом часть боеголовок берут на себя задачу целенаведения для другой части, «менее интеллектуальной».

В действительности же сама ракета «Скиф» не является чем-то особо уникальным. И, вероятно, это модификация уже известной МБР морского базирования — «Синевы» или «Лайнера», благо они разработаны в Центре имени Макеева в Миассе. И вряд ли это модификация еще одной нашей «подводной» ракеты «Булавы». И не только в связи с тем, что у нее другой разработчик — Московский институт теплотехники. У «Булавы» и дальность не столь впечатляющая, и забрасываемый вес меньше.

Основной технической проблемой было, несомненно, создать платформу для ракеты. То есть транспортно-пусковой контейнер, в котором ракета могла бы находиться продолжительное время. Как минимум десятилетие или больше. Находиться в агрессивной морской среде, которая способна «пожирать» металл. Существовала и еще одна серьезная проблема. Контейнер с ракетой все это время должен находиться в работоспособном дежурном состоянии без какого бы то ни было технического обслуживания. И это означает, что ЦКБ «Рубин» проделал громадную работу по существенному повышению надежности всех систем подводного комплекса.

В испытаниях «Скифа» принимала участие дизель-электрическая специализированная подводная лодка «Саров», приписанная к Главному управлению глубоководных исследований (ГУГИ) ВМФ. Именно она, по сообщениям экспертов, доставляла контейнер с МБР к «месту службы». Судя по требованиям, предъявляемым к глубоководности «Скифа», в операции спуска контейнера на дно принимал участие «Лошарик». Это неофициальное название глубоководного атомного аппарата АС-12, способного опускаться на 6000 метров. И это тоже лодка ГУГИ, управления, которое проводит по большей части секретные исследования и эксперименты.

Задача скрытности нахождения на боевом дежурстве ракеты «Скиф» решается довольно просто. Лодка-носитель подходит под водой к заданной точке и сбрасывает контейнер. Никаких монтажных работ не требуется, поскольку контейнер просто ложится на дно. При получении команды на пуск за счет частичной продувки контейнер приобретает качество игрушки-неваляшки, то есть занимает вертикальное положение. После чего продувка продолжается, и контейнер начинает всплывать. Существует мнение, что выброс ракеты из контейнера при помощи твердотопливного ускорителя происходит на глубине в 50 метров. То есть, как это происходит и на подводных лодках.

Однако подводный старт ракет с подводных лодок преследует единственную цель — не обнаружить свое местоположение при всплытии. «Скиф» же является оружием одноразового использования, так что рациональнее использовать надводный старт.

В чем еще заключаются достоинства ракеты донного базирования? В дешевизне. То есть эксплуатация «Скифа», после постановки его на боевое дежурство, абсолютно бесплатна. И в этом смысле данный тип оружия сдерживания принципиально отличается от стратегических подводных ракетоносцев, вооруженных примерно такими же межконтинентальными баллистическими ракетами с ядерной боевой частью.

Размещать «Скифы», что называется, под боком у вероятного противника не получится. И не только потому, что работы по установке ракетных контейнеров поблизости от зоны противолодочной обороны скрытно провести не удастся. Но и в связи с принятым в 1970 году международным «Договором по морскому дну». Он запрещает размещение ядерного оружия на морском дне за пределами 12-мильной зоны, прилегающей к берегу. Однако и в этом случае получается значительный выигрыш, если ставить «Скифы» на дежурство на арктическом шельфе. В связи с чем время подлета МБР к американскому материку существенно сократится. Это важный фактор сдерживания противника от необдуманных решений.


"Skif" rocket: For the USA and England it is more terrible "Zircon"
The strategic weapon of the new principle of basing is ready for combat duty

The head of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security, ex-Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Colonel-General Viktor Bondarev said that the hypersonic anti-ship missiles "Zircon" and the Skif ground-based missiles are part of the arsenal of the Russian Armed Forces.

This statement was made in the course of acquainting the journalists with the State Armaments Program ready for approval by Vladimir Putin for 2018-2025. "To date, we have in our arsenal unique strategic bombers (Tu-160), OTRK with powerful ballistic and cruise missiles (Iskander family), Sarmat missile system, S-400 air defense complexes, intercontinental ballistic missiles, nuclear missile cruisers with powerful anti-ship hypersonic missiles "Zircon", rockets of bottom-based "Skif", said Bondarev.

The senator listed other weapons as the most relevant weapon systems, which should "rise on the wing" by the middle of the next decade. Among them there is a promising fighter-interceptor, and drone drones, and new high-precision missiles. But the most interesting weapon for consideration is a rocket of bottom basing "Skif", information about which, in connection with the secrecy of development, is strictly dosed.

Both "Zircon" and "Scythian" are weapons of the Russian Navy. However, the "Scythian" is a more serious weapon, related to nuclear weapons of deterrence. To the creation of this missile, the St. Petersburg Central Design Bureau of Marine Engineering "Rubin" and the Miass State Rocket Center. Makeeva started in the early 90's. The Piters developed a platform, and the Miass was directly a ballistic missile.

Depending on the basing, nuclear ballistic missiles are divided into three types. Land based, air and sea. The sea-based missiles are installed on nuclear submarines, which covertly move in the world's oceans.

One of the main requirements for nuclear ICBMs is the secrecy of their location. This is necessary in order to prevent the enemy from preemptively striking them, depriving them of the possibility of a retaliatory strike. The first ground-based missiles were in this respect the most vulnerable. But then there were mobile "Topol" and "Yars", constantly moving along the routes of patrolling. And the Voevoda ICBM (in the NATO terminology Satan) is deployed in a powerful mine capable of withstanding a nuclear strike. The "Sarmat" complex will also be based in the same way.

The air component of the nuclear triad occupies an intermediate position in stealth. Well, the most disguised of all types of strategic intelligence are ICBMs installed on submarines. Approximately the same level of stealth and the rocket "Scythian". It is located at a very deep depth. And for a long time is on constant duty, waiting for the team to start.

It is known that the first tests of the "Scythian" were held in 2008. Based on their results in 2009, prototypes were sent for revision. In 2013, the rocket was handed over to state tests. There is no exact information about the fact that the "Scythian" is accepted for service. Too everything is secret and very vague.

In connection with the nebulosity of the issue, there are "reliable evidence of reliable sources", which, apparently, are not completely familiar with the capabilities of modern military technologies. The most "competent" talk about twenty nuclear warheads, which fly to targets at okologi per-sound speeds, skirting the terrain. At the same time, they use artificial intelligence to the maximum, and they are absolutely invisible to the enemy's anti-missile system. At the same time, some of the warheads undertake the task of targeting for another part, "less intellectual".

In reality, the Skif rocket itself is not something particularly unique. And, probably, this is a modification of the already known ICBM of sea basing - "Sineva" or "Liner", since they were developed at the Makeev Center in Miass. And it is hardly a modification of yet another of our "underwater" missiles "Bulava". And not only in connection with the fact that she has another developer - the Moscow Institute of Heat Engineering. The "Bulava" and the range is not so impressive, and the throw weight is less.

The main technical problem was, undoubtedly, to create a platform for the missile. That is a transport-launch container in which the missile could be for a long time. At least a decade or more. Being in an aggressive marine environment that can "devour" metal. There was one more serious problem. The container with the rocket must be in a working duty state all the time, without any maintenance. And this means that the Central Design Bureau "Rubin" has done a tremendous job in significantly increasing the reliability of all the systems of the underwater complex.

In the tests of the "Scythian", a diesel-electric specialized submarine "Sarov", attached to the Main Directorate of Deepwater Research (GIHI) of the Navy, took part. It was she, according to experts, who delivered the container from the ICBM to the "duty station". Judging by the requirements imposed on Deepwater "Scythian", in the operation of lowering the container to the bottom took part "Losharik". This is the unofficial name of the deep-sea atomic device AS-12, capable of dropping to 6000 meters. And this is also the boat of the HUGI, the administration, which conducts for the most part secret research and experiments.

The task of stealth of finding the Skif missile on alert is solved quite simply. The carrier boat approaches under water to the specified point and resets the container. No installation work is required, since the container simply lies on the bottom. When receiving a command for start-up due to partial purging, the container acquires the quality of toy-tumblers, that is, it occupies a vertical position. After that, the purge continues, and the container begins to float. There is an opinion that the rocket ejection from the container using a solid-fuel accelerator occurs at a depth of 50 meters. That is, as it happens on submarines.

However, the underwater launch of missiles from submarines pursues a single goal - not to detect their location when they surfaced. "Scythian" is a non-expendable weapon, so it's more rational to use a surface launch.

What are the merits of the bottom-based missile? In the cheap. That is, the operation of the "Scythian", after putting it on alert, is absolutely free. And in this sense this type of deterrence weapon is fundamentally different from strategic submarine missile carriers armed with roughly the same intercontinental ballistic missiles with a nuclear warhead.

To place the "Scythians", as they say, near the probable enemy will not work. And not only because the installation of missile containers near the anti-submarine defense zone can not be carried out secretly. But also in connection with the international "Treaty on the seabed", adopted in 1970. It prohibits the placement of nuclear weapons on the seabed beyond the 12-mile zone adjacent to the shore. However, in this case, a significant gain is obtained if we put the "Scythians" on duty on the Arctic shelf. In this connection, the time for the approach of the ICBM to the American continent will be substantially reduced. This is an important factor in deterring the enemy from rash decisions.

The fact is that there is a very real possibility of the US withdrawing from the Treaty on medium-range and shorter-range missiles. Congress has already allocated $ 58 million to develop medium-range ballistic missiles. If the contract is hacked, then there is no doubt that the Americans will deploy these missiles in Europe. As a result, the time for the approach of nuclear missiles to the European part of Russia will be substantially reduced. So, thanks to the unfolding of the "Scythians", the time of their approach to the territory of the USA will be symmetrically reduced. However, this is not the only way to answer the likely US withdrawal from the INF Treaty. Plans are also planned for the deployment in the Arctic of compact but quite powerful Kurier missiles, the development of which wa


Дело в том, что существует вполне реальная возможность выхода США из Договора по ракетам средней и меньшей дальности. Конгресс уже выделил 58 млн. долларов на разработку баллистических ракет средней дальности. Если договор будет взломан, то, сомневаться не приходится, американцы разместят эти ракеты в Европе. В итоге существенно сократится время подлета ядерных ракет к европейской части России. Так вот, благодаря разворачиванию «Скифов», симметрично сократится и время их подлета к территории США. Впрочем, это не единственный вариант ответа на вероятный выход США из договора РСМД. Планируется также размещение в Арктике компактных, но вполне мощных ракет «Курьер», разработка которых была остановлена в 90-е годы.

Skif concept is very suitable for Kim Jong Nuke. Here is why & how:
  • He can place it off the USA coast using a sub & remote control after the crew abandon the sub and left.
  • He can nuke USA even when whole NK is flattened by US nuke.
  • USA won't be able to detect intercept.
  • He has got all the means and technologies necessary already.
  • He don't need a very long ranged ICBM which USA can still have chance to intercept.
  • He can remote control this attack even after he fled to anywhere from a US attack.
  • Many ways to remote control it, including a preset-reset timer, which mean unless received a reset signal it will tick off by itself, meaning it will happen even after he got killed. So he reset timer once a day or weekly, before it tick off.
