I think so.

Anyway, it will be more in the RS-18 (SS-19) class rather than in the heavyweight class. Also I think the SRF want more throw weight to place several MARV rather than many MIRV (Just an opinion). They do not trust in the Obama “good faith” words and the modernization plan seems unchanged at all by the START talks.

Making another SS-19 is pointless!

That’s the job of the RS-24 in fact.

The SS-27 is a single warhead silo or mobile missile, the RS-24 is reported to be up to 10 warheads with silo or mobile capability, giving it the power of the SS-24 and SS-19 in combination.

This then calls for a heavy ICBM to truly replace the SS-18.

That would make the SMF consist of:

SS-27
RS-24
New Heavy ICBM

This, with the Sineva and Bulava, seems like a perfect mix of weapons.

The Russian army will receive analogue of “Satan”

Plans for the development of strategic missile forces Russia include the development of new types of nuclear weapons. As of Wednesday, June 10, the Strategic Missile Forces Commander Colonel General Nikolai Solovtsov, the question is, in particular, the missiles with multiple parts, as well as heavy rocket, the older of which is the analogue of the RS-20 “Voevoda”, known to NATO as the SS-18 Satan “Satan.” This transmits “Interfax”.

Solovtsov also said that in Russia are working on creating other types of weapons the RVSN, and the appropriate decisions to further their development had already been taken.

In addition, according to First Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia, General-Colonel Alexander Kolmakova, the development of the Strategic Missile Forces is now a priority in the state of arms, so the means for their development in 2009 and in 2010 will be allocated without sekvestirovaniya. Every year, according to the military, the needs of troops allocated about 6 percent of the state defense order.

Note that the RS-20 is considered the most powerful and efficient of the intercontinental ballistic missiles developed in the world. It can carry ten warheads, each with a capacity of 500-550 kilotons, at a distance of up to 11 thousand kilometers.

The missile was developed in the Ukrainian CB South in the early 1970’s, and production of weapons has been established there for the same machine-building plant in Dnipropetrovsk. At its core was a carrier rocket “Dnepr”, since the START-1 treaty envisaged the destruction of half the range of RS-20.

Confirmed dates operation of two versions of the RS-20, which today are armed with the Strategic Missile Forces is 25 years and 21 years respectively. Nevertheless, according to the military, they planned to extend to 30 years. In addition, as previously stated Solovtsov, retained the capacity of CB South, and an intergovernmental agreement between Russia and Ukraine would prevent reduction in the number of these missiles.

Good enough, no point for me to do a translation myself 🙂

Try googling ‘PAK FA weight’ for starters.

Every one of those sources is unofficial.
Show me something PO RUSSKI, pozhalusta!

Instead of sarcasm………….maybe you would want to consider providing valid arguments.

Just a thought…………….or maybe that is all you can offer????:confused:

I have finally conceded all my arguments and admitted defeat, and now you mock me! Shameful!

Careful guys, Scooter’s a Ponzi scheme salesman.

Ay du nat knov wat zat iz. . . :confused:

Well, its interesting that some use “Sarcasm” or “Name Calling”. Instead of providing constructive arguments……….
So, are you a member of the same club????:confused:

Well, we ski together. Does that count?

Most sources, including recent ones, seem to quote a ‘takeoff weight’ of about 20 tons ‘in accordance with the technical requirements’, which would make it significantly smaller than the Su-27.

Where are these sources?

Not precisely. The FGFA will sit in between the Su-27 and MiG-29 in terms of size.

There is no indication the PAK-FA much smaller than the Su-27.

If at all.

What you said is fundamentally correct. The real question would be whether or not the system architecture of the S-400 can accept an input from the Nebo radar to fire a missile.

That’s 99.99% likely a “YES” or the Nebo would be a very mildly effective system.

Your site is a great resource, but the info is kind of scattered 🙁

I was hoping you could make a concise list of the S-400 and S-300 PT / PS / PM radars and missiles in use, including ranges for the systems.

Are all PM variants the same in Russian service?

Everyone would owe you one 😉

I would make it myself, but I imagine you could do it off the top of your head!
