Two new Russian missiles

In the summer of 2013 in the White Sea tested a new ballistic missile "Skif" that can be in standby mode on the sea and the ocean floor and at the right time to shoot and hit the ground and maritime facilities. "Skif" uses the depths of the ocean as a kind of shaft installation. And the deployment of such systems on the seabed will provide the necessary invulnerability retaliation weapon.

Strategic Rocket Forces Command in 2013 conducted a pilot launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile, the middle class, "Vanguard". This is the fourth since 2011 launch. In the upcoming test rocket will fly with the layout of regular combat unit, not with the ballast, as before. " "Vanguard" - a fundamentally new missile and not a continuation of the family "Topol". According to calculations of the Strategic Missile Forces Command, "Topol-M" may be amazed 1-2 antimissiles type promising US SM-3, and for each "Vanguard" requires at least fifty missiles. That is a breakthrough efficiency defense increases by an order.

The "Vanguard" to replace the usual, with a multiple independently targetable warhead missile (MIRV) comes a new system with a controlled warheads (UBB). Warheads in MIRV sit in one or two layers (as in "The Governors") around the engine breeding stage. At the command of her computer degree turns in the direction of a particular purpose and sends a short pulse motor mounts are already exempt from combat unit at. In this last flight he flies a ballistic curve, as a thrown stone: to maneuver the course and altitude, he can not.

In contrast, the controlled unit is a completely independent missile with its own control system and guidance engine and rudders in the form of a conical "skirts" on the bottom of the cone trimmings. Engine allows him to maneuver in space, and "skirt" - in the atmosphere. Due to such management warhead can fly 16 thousand. Km with a height of 250 km. That is, the range of "Vanguard" in general may exceed 25 thousand. Km!
