The latest military developments in Russia. Perspective military developments in Russia
The rearmament of the fleet and the army is not only the supply of modern technology to the troops. In the Russian Federation, new types of weapons are constantly being created. Their future development is also being decided. Let us next consider the latest military developments of Russia in some areas.
Strategic intercontinental missiles
This type is an important weapon. The basis of the Russian Federation's missile force is the heavy heavy ICBM Sotka and Voevoda. The operating period was extended to three times. At present, the heavy complex "Sarmat" was developed for their replacement. It is a rocket of a hundred-ton class, which carries in the head element at least ten separating combat blocks. The main characteristics of Sarmat have already been assigned. Serial release is scheduled to begin on the legendary "Krasmash", for the reconstruction of which the federal budget allocated 7.5 billion rubles. Already a promising military equipment is being created, including blocks of individual breeding with promising means of overcoming missile defense (R & D "Inevitable" - "Breakthrough").
Installation of Avangard
The commanders of the Strategic Missile Forces in 2013 conducted an experimental launch of this middle-class ballistic intercontinental missile. This was the fourth launch since 2011. The three previous launches were also successful. In this test, the rocket flew with a mock-up of the combat staff part. He replaced the previously used ballast. "Vanguard" is a fundamentally newest missile, which is not considered an extension of the Topol family. The command of the Strategic Missile Force calculated an important fact. It consists in the fact that Topol-M can hit 1 or 2 anti-missiles (for example, the American type SM-3), and one Avangard will need at least 50. That is, the effectiveness of the missile defense penetration has increased significantly.
In the Avangard-type installation, the newest system, which has a managed combat unit (UBB), is now replacing the already familiar missile with the self-guided detachable headpiece. This is an important innovation. The blocks in the MIRVEN are located in 1 or 2 tiers (in the same way as in the Voevode installation) around the engine of the breeding steps. With the computer command, the stage begins to unfold toward one of the targets. Then, with a small impulse of the engine, the released combat unit is sent to the target. His flight is carried out on a ballistic curve (like a thrown stone), without maneuvering at the same height and course. In turn, the controlled unit, unlike the indicated element, looks like an independent missile with a personal guidance and control system, an engine and rudders that resemble conical "skirts" in the lower part. This is an effective device. The engine can allow him to maneuver in space, and in the atmosphere - "skirt". Due to this control, the warhead flies 16,000 km from a 250-kilometer altitude. In general, the range of the "Vanguard" can be more than 25 000 km.
Bottom rocket complexes
The latest military developments of Russia are also present in this sphere. Here, too, there are innovative implementations. As early as the summer of 2013, tests were carried out in the White Sea on such weapons as the new Skif ballistic missile that is capable of firing and striking a land and sea object in the expected regime on an oceanic or seabed at the right time. It applies the thickness of the ocean as an original shaft installation. The location of these systems at the bottom of the water element will ensure the presence of the necessary invulnerability to weapons of retaliation.
The newest military developments in Russia - mobile missile systems
In this direction, a lot of work was invested. The Ministry of Defense of Russia in 2013 began testing a new hypersonic missile. The speed of its flight is about 6 thousand km / h. It is known that today in Russia, hypersound technology is being investigated in several developing areas. Along with this, the Russian Federation also produces combat railway and sea missile systems. This significantly upgrades the armament. In this direction, the most advanced experimental military design of Russia is being actively conducted.
Also with success were the so-called launching test launches of Kh-35UU rockets. They were released from installations located in a cargo container of the Club-K complex. The anti-ship missile "X-35" differs by flight to the target and low visibility at an altitude not exceeding 15 meters, and on the final part of its trajectory - 4 meters. The presence of a powerful combat unit and a combined homing system allows one unit of this weapon to completely destroy a paramilitary ship with a displacement of 5,000 tons. For the first time the prototype of this missile system was shown in Malaysia in 2009, in a military-technical salon.
He immediately made a splash, because of himself, Club-K represents a typical cargo twenty and forty-foot containers. This military equipment of Russia is transported by rail, on sea vessels or trailers. In this container, command posts and launchers with multipurpose missiles of the type Kh-35UE 3M-54E and 3M-14E are deployed. They can hit both land and surface targets. Each container ship that carries Club-K, in principle, is a missile carrier with a crushing volley.
This is an important weapon. Absolutely any train with these installations or convoy, which includes heavy-duty truck containerships, is a powerful missile unit that can appear in any unexpected place. Successfully conducted tests proved that Club-K is not a fiction, it's really a combat system. These new developments in military equipment are a confirmed fact. Similar tests are being prepared with missiles 3M-14E and 3M-54E. By the way, the 3M-54E missile can completely destroy the aircraft carrier.
Strategic bomber of the latest generation
At present, Tupolev develops and improves the long- range aviation long-range aviation complex (PAK DA). It is a Russian strategic bomber-rocket carrier of the new generation. This aircraft is not an improvement of the TU-160, but will be an innovative device that is based on the latest solutions. In 2009, a contract was signed between the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the Tupolev company for R & D on the basis of the PAK DA for a period of three years. In 2012, an announcement was made that the pre-design of the PAK DA was already completed and signed, and then the experimental and design newest military developments began.
In 2013, it was approved by the command of the Russian Air Force. PAK is itself famous, as nuclear modern missile carriers TU-160 and TU-95MS.
Of several options, we stopped at a subsonic invisible aircraft, which has a "flying wing" scheme. This military equipment of Russia is not able to overcome the speed of sound due to the design features and the huge wingspan, but it may not be noticeable for radars.
Future Missile Defense
Continue to be carried out work on the creation of a system of anti-missile system S-500. In this new generation, the armaments of the Russian Army are supposed to use separate tasks to neutralize aerodynamic and ballistic missiles. The S-500 differs from the S-400, designed for air defense, in that it is created as an anti-missile defense system.
Also, it will be able to combat the hypersonic funds actively developing in the United States. These new military developments in Russia are important. The S-500 is an aerospace defense system, which they want to design in 2015. It will have to neutralize objects that fly above 185 km and at a distance of more than 3,500 km from the launch facility. At the moment, the draft sketch has already been completed, and in this direction, Russia's promising military developments are being carried out. The main purpose of this complex will be the defeat of the latest air attack type weapons, which is produced today in the world. It is assumed that this system will be able to perform tasks both in the stationary version and during the deployment to the war zone. Destroyers (destroyers), which Russia should begin to produce in 2016, will be equipped with a ship version of the anti-missile system S-500.
Battle lasers
There is a lot of interesting in this direction. Russia before the United States of America began military development in this area and has in its arsenal the most advanced samples of precision chemical war lasers. The first such installation Russian developers tested in 1972. Then, with the help of the domestic mobile "laser gun" it was possible to successfully hit the target in the air. So in 2013, the Ministry of Defense of Russia requested to continue work on the creation of combat lasers, which can hit satellites, aircraft and ballistic missiles.
This is not unimportant in modern weapons. New military developments in Russia in the field of lasers are conducted by the organization of air defense "Almaz-Antey", Taganrog Aviation Scientific and Technical Concern named after. Beriev and the company "Khimpromavtomatika." All this is controlled by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. TANTK them. Beriev began to modernize flying laboratories A-60 (based on IL-76), used to develop the latest laser technology. They will be based at the airfield near Taganrog.
Prospects
In the future, with successful development in this area, the Russian Federation will build one of the most powerful lasers in the world. This device in Sarov will occupy an area equal to two football fields, and at its highest point will reach the size of a 10-storey house. The installation will be equipped with 192 laser channels and a huge energy of the laser pulse. The French and American analogue is equal to 2 megajoules, while in Russia it is approximately 1.5-2 times higher. The superlaser will be able to create in the substance colossal temperatures and densities, which are the same as on the Sun. This device will also simulate the processes observed during the testing of thermonuclear weapons in laboratory conditions. The creation of this project will be estimated at about 1.16 billion euros.
Armored vehicles
In this regard, the latest military developments also did not take long. In 2014 the Ministry of Defense of Russia will begin to purchase the main effective battle tanks based on a single platform of heavy Armored vehicles. On the basis of a successful batch of data, the machines will conduct controlled military operation. Release of the first tank prototype on the basis of the Armata platform, in accordance with the current schedule, took place in 2013. This military equipment of Russia is planned to be delivered to the military from 2015. The development of the tank will be conducted by Uralvagonzavod.
Another prospectus of the Russian defense industry is the "Terminator" ("Object - 199"). This combat vehicle will be designed for neutralizing air targets, manpower, armored vehicles, as well as various shelters and fortifications.
Precision Weapons
The Russian Air Force will adopt missiles to carry out attacks against surface and ground targets with guidance on the GLONASS. At the testing ground in Akhtubinsk, the Chkalov GLITS tested the S-25 and S-24 missiles, which are equipped with special sets with the GOS and the overlays on the steering wheels. This is an important improvement. The GLONASS guidance kits began to arrive massively at the airbases in 2014, that is, the Russian helicopter and frontline aviation has completely switched over to high-precision weapons.
Missiles unguided (NUR) C-25 and C-24 will remain the main weapon of the Russian bomber and assault aviation. However, they hit the squares, and this is an expensive and inefficient pleasure. The GLONASS homing heads will transfer the C-25 and C-24 into high-precision weapons that are capable of hitting small targets with an accuracy of 1 meter.
Robotics
The main priorities in the organization of promising varieties of military equipment and weapons are almost certain. The emphasis is on the product of the most robotic combat systems, where a safe operator function is assigned to the person.
In this direction, a set of programs is planned:
- The organization of power armor, familiar as exoskeletons.
- Work on the development of underwater robots for a variety of purposes.
- Designing a series of unmanned aerial vehicles.
- It is planned to establish technologies for the transmission of wireless electricity. They will allow to realize Nikolai Tesla's ideas on an industrial scale.
Russian experts relatively recently (2011-2012) implemented the creation of the robot SAR-400. It is 163 cm high and looks like a torso with two "manipulator hands" equipped with special sensors. They allow the operator to perceive the object to be touched.
The SAR-400 is capable of performing several functions. For example, fly into space or conduct a remote surgical operation. And in military conditions, it is generally indispensable. He can be a scout, a sapper, and a repairman. In terms of its working capabilities and TTX, the Android SAR-400 surpasses (for example, by shrinking the brush) foreign analogs, and American ones too.
Weapon
The latest military developments of Russia are also actively being conducted in this direction. This is a confirmed fact. Weaponsmiths of Izhevsk began to develop small arms automatic weapons of the latest generation. It differs from the world- wide popular Kalashnikov system . It implies a new platform that allows you to compete with analogues of the latest models of small arms in the world. This is not unimportant in this area. As a result, the law enforcement agencies can be provided with fundamentally new combat systems that correspond to the rearmament program of the Russian army until 2020. Therefore, at the moment, significant developments are being made in this regard. Future small arms will be of a modular type. This will simplify the subsequent modernization and production. In this case, more often a scheme will be used, in which the weapons store and the shock mechanism will be located in the butt behind the trigger. To develop the newest small arms systems, ammunition will also be used with innovative ballistic solutions. For example, increased accuracy, a significant effective range, a more powerful penetration ability. Before the gunsmiths the task is to create a new system "from scratch", not based on obsolete principles. To achieve this goal, the latest technologies are used. At the same time, the modernization of the AK-200 series "Izhmash" will not be renegotiated, as the special services of Russia are already interested in supplying this type of weapon . At present, further military developments are being made in this direction.
The result
All of the above emphasizes the successful modernization of the Russian Federation's armaments. The main thing is to keep up with the times and do not stop there, implementing the latest improvements in this area. Along with the above, there are secret military developments in Russia, but their publication is limited.
