Weapons of this Doomsday. In another way what Russia has is impossible to name. RS -28 or Sarmat is a strategic intercontinental mine base missile. It was developed for almost 7 years in the State Missile Center named after Academician V.P. Makeev. The notorious predecessor of the “governor” is forced to go into the background. What is the reason for the replacement and what is the differences between the "Sarmat" and the "governor"? We have prepared answers to these and other questions.

Round -the -clock control and heart of the Strategic Missile Forces

The central command post of strategic missile forces (Strategic Missile Forces) is located in Vlasikha, in the Moscow Region. All warnings and information about missile attacks are received at the central point. All launching of the country is controlled from it. Around the clock, without a break in combat posts, there are 6,000 troops of the missile forces. They do not leave their posts for a second.

The central command post is a huge underground city in several floors. It consists of endless corridors, bunkers and equipped with gateways. The length of the corridors is almost 10 km. In the Soviet years, there was even a bike that it was there that a secret metro line was laid straight from the Kremlin.

The command post of the rocket regiment is considered the safest place on the ground. It is located in a steel capsule and suspended in an underground shaft on shock absorbers. This system will withstand everything from the earthquake to the nuclear explosion. There are always increased pressure in underground rooms. This is done for security in the case of a chemical attack. Thanks to increased pressure, poisoning gases from the surface will not penetrate inside.

R -36M2 or “governor”, ​​which replaces the Sarmat complex, was made in cooperation with Ukraine. It was put on combat duty in the 80s.

The "governor" was outdated morally and technically. In addition, all documentation was transferred to Ukraine in the 90s. The reports also stored information about all the weak places of the rocket.

Heavy liquid missiles have a long accelerated area. If you knock them down, then only on it. The system of American missile defense (PRO) was just built on the flying characteristics of the Voivodes.

Sarmat is not a semblance of “governors”. This is a full -fledged new rocket. It differs from its predecessor with greater power and flight range. The designers of the rocket assure that there is enough traction to fly through both poles. Also, Sarmat is completely built of Russian materials and is equipped with domestic components. The new rocket is many times superior to the “governor” by such signs as the active area, range, accuracy, resistance to the damaging factors of the nuclear explosion. In addition, Sarmat can be equipped with strategic hypersonic.

“Voivodes” and “Sarmat” are similar in two parameters. The first is the length and width, because both units are in the same mines. The second is the principle of a mortar start. The rocket flies out of the underground shaft as a core from a gun.

The latest Russian development is the Avangard strategic missile system. Adopted in 2019. A hypersonic maneuvering block flies with a crazy speed for understanding - 10 km/s. These missiles are already in underground mines on combat duty.

Test start

The first test launch of the Sarmatian took place from the Plesetsk cosmodrome near Arkhangelsk.

A few minutes before the start, the hatch lid opens. At the command post of the Strategic Missile Forces, combat readiness is announced. The rocket rises from the mine and visually hangs above it. During this time, a powder battery is shot. It is he who pushes Sarmat to the surface, and then marching engines are turned on.

During the tests, a discharged space is created inside the mine. It allows you to test the rocket in real conditions, given the features of space space. An artificially modeled atmosphere allows you to work out what years would go to in real life.

The combat unit without a charge leaves a funnel behind. Its diameter is about 20 meters, and the depth is 8 meters. Full re -equipment of the Strategic Missile Forces should be completed within two years. As soon as all Sarmat missiles will take its places in underground mines, Russia will receive reliable nuclear parity for the next half century. Further, let's hope that there will never be awake to wake a heavenly beast.

Where did the name of the ballistic missiles come from

“The governor” in America was not in vain nicknamed “Satan”. Under the nasal fairing in special compartments, the missile placed separated combat blocks with a total capacity of 500 Hiroshim.

The North Atlantic Alliance calls the new Satan -2 missile. In the Russian army, fantasy is more developed. Their rocket is associated with ancient nomad warriors. Sarmatians inhabited the territory from the Danube to the Aral Sea. These warriors were very brave, created a heavy armed cavalry. Later on this cavalry, a straight breaking sword for intimidation and retaliation began to be located on this cavalry.

In conclusion, we give the words of general designer Vladimir Degtyar about the Sarmat missile:
