On April 20, at 5:30 pm, Russia announced the successful launch of a new type of ICBM at the Plesetsk spacecraft, the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, which had destroyed targets on the Kamchatka Peninsula.
A type of missile like the Sarmat, called the Satan II in the West, has the head of several independently controlled nuclear cartridges, the missile contains smaller missiles (10-15) that are launched at a given moment and each has its own target. Sarmat is also a supersonic speed device that uses the upper layers of the atmosphere and is supposedly invincible by any of the defense systems that exist today. Supposedly.
This rocket test was planned earlier and is not a whim, and the rocket development itself began in 2009. For a long time, it was not even possible to create a prototype, later tests were postponed, and so on. Last year, it was planned that 5 test launches would be made in 2022 and then 20 units would be armed with these missiles.
DEVELOPMENT OF HYPER - SOUND ROCKETS
The carrier itself is not a problem - Russians (an army that likes to rape kids) have enough rockets to do the job. The problem is what flies out of those missiles - i.e. hypersound devices that are supposedly impossible to knockdown.
Hyperspeed?
Hypersonic speed is 1500-3000 meters per second or flies from Munich to Prague in about a minute.
Temperature
What material to use for such a rocket? The surface temperature of a supersonic rocket heats up to 2200 degrees Celsius from friction (Lockheed Martin data). Titanium melts at about 1600 degrees. Titanium is a popular metal in aerospace engineering because of its lightness and hardness. The temperature of the fire in which the wood burns is about 600 degrees. Now imagine a rocket in the middle stuffed with communication modules, controls, and other electronics that also can’t burn.
Communication
The hypersonic missile must be controlled. Can’t run a nuclear cartridge and forget about it. Everything would be ok, but during a hypersonic flight, the gas (air) on the outside of the rocket turns into plasma (Lockheed Martin data). Plasma can block communication signals that always occur when crossing the Earth's atmosphere (e.g., NASA astronauts had no communication in their landing module).
Navigation
When an object is moving at such a speed, its electronics must work super accurately, because traditional means are not enough to control such a cartridge at the target. As a result, all microelectromechanical devices must be of the highest class. Not just good, but top-notch.
Maneuvering
At such a speed, any adjustment of the course immediately turns into huge loads on the rocket hull and the outer elements that have those tremendous forces to hold and not smash to pieces.
Integration
Creating those things described above is one thing, and intertwining them with each other, sorry, is not a lego with a child construct. Any change in one element immediately changes all other parameters that need to be rebuilt. Probably the closest example would be: when dropping without a parachute, try to untie the cords of the iPhone headphones that have been pulled out of your pocket.
Aerodynamics
The rocket must also be smooth for airflow, but must also have external elements that generate lift. Like an airplane span. All this must also be coordinated in such a way that the accuracy, speed, and durability of the flight are not compromised. And you still need to be able to distribute the weight correctly. Supersonic (e.g., fighter) system engineers have historical data on perennial experiments and real-world systems in operation, while hypersonic systems engineers usually have to discover everything themselves.
IN THE MEANING OF REALITY
- In Ukraine, meanwhile, people have swallowed or painted signs because they realized that the second world army tended to wander and did not have any normal means of navigation. The means of communication with the occupiers are all kinds of civilian and Chinese-made bofengas.
- Production of the fifth-generation multifunction fighter SU-57 has not started, because in 10 years Russia has not been able to produce a functional fuselage and engine that meets the requirements for a real fifth-generation military aircraft.
- On February 25 photos of the alleged Sarmat rocket were distributed through pro-Russian propaganda channels, but this turned out to be untrue. This was confirmed by the AFP Factcheck study.
- In 2019, another type of ICBM - 9M730 Burevestnik, an experimental nuclear-fueled missile with virtually unlimited range, exploded near the village of Nyonoksa in the Arkhangelsk region. Five soldiers and engineers were killed and three were injured in the landfill. The explosion was recorded at the Bardufoss Observatory (Troms, Norway).
- The best Russian rocket engines RD-180 are based on RD-170 engines, which is a 40-year-old technology baby.
- The Russian Sukhoi SuperJet will actually be out of service after half a year because there are no parts for the engine that was developed without the French.
- KamAZ will resume production of 1960 models. Lada will produce light cars without electrical components...
I don’t know about you, but I can’t believe that in one area everything is so good that it is impossible to replicate anywhere else in the world, and elsewhere so bad that it is close to the level of North Korea.
The South China Morning Post reports that China has set up a test site for nuclear weapons to destroy bunkers, in which they investigated how to destroy such underground structures as possible. It turned out that the bunker could be destroyed at depths of up to 2 km using modern nuclear weapons.
Putin’s bunker near the Ural Mountains is 300 meters deep.
How such a bunker could be destroyed? USA 2016 developed nuclear missile B61-12 that is not powerful (compared to others), from 0.3 to 50 kilotons (21 kiloton bomb was dropped and Nagasaki). It is super accurate and allows you to destroy targets without destroying everything within a radius of tens of kilometers.
How it works: From a spacecraft, just above the target, throw those nuclear missiles (a total of about 12, and possibly up to 30). The missiles are launched from an altitude of 500 km and can develop speeds of more than 35,000 km/h. No defense system can react to a device flying so fast. It would appear to observers on the ground that a meteorite was falling at a vertical angle, followed by a line of light flying through the rocket. The whole process would take about 1 minute and the Putler bunker would be gone (you can see the tests on the Sandia National Labs Youtube channel). The missiles can also be carried by the latest F-35 multifunction fighter, which, despite the insights of the writers, is not seen by any Russian anti-aircraft defense system.
