The trip to the base BZHRK

Will 100 pictures wait ...

BZHRK - Battle railway missile system RT 23UTTH "Good" (NATO reporting name SS-24 Scalpel). The complex was able, without revealing himself, to overcome more than 1000 km per day, and launch missiles at any point on the route.

By 1999, three missile division deployed armed BZHRK and ICBMs RT-23UTTH (in the Kostroma Region, the Perm Region and the Krasnoyarsk Territory), each with four missile regiment (12 BZHRK formulations, three launchers each). Within a radius of 1,500 km from home bases BZHRK were held jointly with Russian Railways Ministerstvvom measures for the modernization of the railway line: packed heavier rails, wooden sleepers replaced by concrete, strengthening embankments done more dense rubble.

Rocket trains were a constant headache for the Americans. The Pentagon spent on tracking them more money than the creation of brothers Utkin. Twelve satellites scouts looking for them all over the country and even from space could not distinguish these ghost train from conventional refrigerators. Back in the 60s of last century, Americans began to develop similar systems, but it did not go. And after the rocket train on the way MEAs they have taken unprecedented action: under the guise of commercial cargo from Vladivostok to one of the Nordic transit they were shipped containers, one of which was stuffed with intelligence equipment to intercept, analyze the radiation environment and even the filming through a secret membrane in the container body spy. But after the departure of the train from Vladivostok container was opened by our counterintelligence.

Yes, the Americans have achieved a lot, they put a condition on the disarmament negotiations destruction was SS-18, "affectionately" called them "Satan", and a unique missile train "Scalpel." Gorbachev came to power immediately agreed, Yeltsin followed suit. The Americans quickly allocated money to destroy the hated missiles and even provide the latest cutting machines. One after the other missiles turned into scrap metal. Although the rockets could launch satellites that are suitable in the national economy. After all, unforgivably stupid to destroy the complexes, which worked on the creation of the cream of Russian science in different branches.

According to the START-2 treaty, Russia had to retire (and destroy) all missiles PT 23UTTH until 2003. After the unilateral US withdrawal from the ABM treaty, Russia declared the irrelevance of this agreement. However, in 2003-2005, all the complexes BZHRK were removed from combat duty and destroyed.
