i think there we have 3 types of missiles
p-700 granit
p-500 bazalt
p-120 malakhit

RSM you said previously that russian are fielding with Bulava/rs24 the smallest warheads they ever built.is there any talk about Cep?they sure must be accurate since there would be sm kind of computerised system to control the MARV-s but does the increased accuracy justify the “little” yield?

Rsm it seems then that russians just wrecked the missiles and not those 36 trains which carried ss-24?

any news on the remaining “3” Typhoons?

The Third stage is liquid fueled :eek::rolleyes:

i would say at least innovative…
what would be interesting is concerning the term “10hypersonic” used there…so seems they actually they managed to invent some sort of scramjet stuff

May be he mean rail-based SS-27. I knew this idea one or two month ago from RIAN. Anyway, I doubt on feasibility of this. It seems more logical and cheap to replace the Topol TELs located on Irkutsk by RS-24 TELs.

It was a simple quote of how SS-24 could have been deployed safe from BMD if they were still on use but they got destroyed.

About the RS24 they probably are going to replace already the Topols on Irkutsk with it,so maybe they after just deploy it on rails.After all,missile and erector are made in Russia,so just have to develop the carriages for ’em.
Its even lighter than the Scalpel.

lets wait for the Bulava predicted test

Russia tests another RS-24

A RS-24 multiple warhead missile has been tested today (26 Nov.), INTERFAX reports. Launch from Plessetsk, all warheads imitators reached the Kura test range in the Kamtchatka. The test emphasis was the testing of space defense measures and the calibration of new tracking instruments. It’s the third test of a RS-24 (all tests were successful).

Wait for a new Bulava test in the coming hours.

read somewhere that rs-24 is just a Topol M with the warhead bus from the ss-20 pioneer.that would explain the very fast development of it.maybe we should call more an adaptation work.

Rsm55 do u know what will happen if Bulava is a failure?will there be a revival for the BARK program or they could refit Sinevas in Borei’s as a military analyst suggested?are the options feseable?

looking at the cockpit , and other pictures this does not look like the upgraded Tu-160 , but beautiful she is for sure

maybe is one of planes not upgraded at Engelsk?it was said upgraded ones have digital cockpit or maybe it was just an “advertisment”

from another forum someone translated the pilot words.
I was trying to make a pic but the Eagle was slow,so i tried to gesture to the american pilot.He came close and faster so i took a nice pic.He was close but not hostile

Austin she or he??

that would be cool. I’d be astonished if it were true though.

sorry could somebody explain the fact for us “ignorants”:)
