Russian Bulava submarine launched ballistic missile can break through the U.S. anti-missile system
June 3, 2011 CCTV “Global vision” broadcast “Radio Russia sought to Bulava missile complex super-sky”, the following is the program Record:
Moderator LO Chun-yan:
We continue. Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles under development, “Bulava”, also known as “round hammer.” Over the past decade, Russia has spent a considerable effort into developing it, and want to use it and the north-class strategic nuclear submarine facilities, constitute a deterrent to the sea and the heart attack.
But the “Bulava” of the whole development process, but it is full of twists, tested 14 times, failed seven times, that the success rate is only half the battle. So Borey-class submarines to now, only to be run empty.
After a silence of more than half a year, Russia announced that this year will once again test-fired “Bulava”, but also webcast. We first look through a short video clip to “Bulava” unconventional fate.
Bulava missile launch instant
Commentary:
2, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that Russia will use the fourth-generation Borey-class strategic nuclear submarine the first pieces of “Yuri – 多尔格鲁基” No, the implementation of “Brava” type submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missiles 15th test task.
According to the plan, in June this year to 12 months, the “Bulava” missile will be test-fired five times, if all successful, will be identified to achieve this type of missile in service requirements. The missile will enter the Navy before the end of this year. The first missile, probably fitted out the Pacific Fleet. Russia hopes that by 2020, to have eight nuclear submarines equipped with “Bulava” missile. According to plan, “Bulava” missile hit the sea will become Russia’s nuclear deterrent, the core, with the Topol-M ballistic missile strike at the core of the land-based nuclear deterrent force, and the air strike nuclear deterrent force, constitute the entire nuclear deterrent system.
However, for the “Bulava” is about to embark on the 15 th launch of the road was full of lingering fear that the tragic Russian colors.
September 2004, “Bulava” missile like the whole weight of the White Sea for the first time in the test.
September 27, 2005, fired in the water, “Bulava” missile, but the warhead failed to fly scheduled area, exploded in the air.
December 21, 2005, from underwater launch of the “Bulava” three missiles success. Many people believe that this successful launch, seems to presage the Russian strategic nuclear forces will soon hit the sea to obtain a new type of strategic missiles. But the Russian strategic missile to the road ahead is far from universal smooth.
Bulava submarine launched ballistic missile
In 2006, Russia conducted three successive, “Bulava” missile tests were failed.
Since then, in September 2008, 12 months, in July 2009, 12 months, Russia has conducted four tests, but the results frustrating. It is worth mentioning that, December 9, 2009 morning, over northern Norway, a Blu-ray into the sky, and lasted ten minutes before completely disappear. Some experts, this official “Bulava” missile test-fired the day of a failure by the wake left behind, which is the “Bulava” 12th test.
In 2009, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, the lifting of duties Solovtsov, commander of strategic missile.
In 2010, Dean of the Moscow Power Engineering Thermal Ivanov Yuri Solomon, he is “Bulava” chief designer of submarine-launched intercontinental missile design, and also the Topol-M intercontinental missile designed to hit the mainland moderator. Presided over the design because of the “Bulava” repeated test failures, and was forced to resign early retirement.
To 2010, the Russian military were on the “Bulava” conducted 14 tests, of which 7 test failure, can be described as ill-fated, some media even dubbed it sad “Bulava” in the title. Former Russian President Vladimir Putin first assumed office, has pledged for Russian equipment, “Bulava” missile and its accompanying “Borey” class strategic nuclear submarines. Putin said that if necessary, you can sell the Kremlin, as it relates to Russia’s future.
According to media reports, Russia plans to broadcast live on the news site, “Bulava” missile test-firing of the entire process, the Russian “Bulava” is changing the fate of the international community will wait and see.
LO Chun-yan:
“Bulava” is called “Round Hammer”, I remember that Topol-M is called the “town of the country a heavy hammer,” the two hammers are especially important, how important is it in the end, we have also been referred to the video inside , when the development of the “Borey” nuclear submarine and the “Bulava” when the research began when, as a bit stretched on the Russian economy, Putin was still president, he said the word, that “if the money would , we can put the Kremlin to sell, because it relates to Russia’s future. ” In the end the “Bulava” How important? The “Bulava” How important?
Du Wenlong Commentator:
From now on the Russian side, the “Bulava” This test frequency, ever so intense look, the “Bulava” and the “Borey” combination, indeed the next decade, or even thirty years Russian strategic forces and combat an important part. For instance last year, Putin announced a military procurement plan the next ten years is a significant update to Russia’s weapons and equipment, of which 20% is used to update this strategic missiles. So from this perspective, it this combination, in particular, hit the sea power of such a combination of very high degree of attention.
LO Chun-yan:
The “Bulava” missile capability that be?
Are comments: “Bulava” missile performance characteristics
Du Wenlong:
Just talked in a small piece of a set of data from several sets of data I feel, at least three key words so that we can go to analysis.
First, the submarine-launched. Because the layout of strategic nuclear weapons from Russia, this point of view, Trinity, sea and air, including sea-strike weapons, it is the most hidden, the highest viability.
Second, the range. It is 8000 km, since it is launched in Haiti, it means it is a mobile platform for the ocean depths, in different transmission interfaces occupy the position, to attack each other’s home. For example, the United States its main strategic rival, it can be an important city in its domestic threat.
LO Chun-yan:
To silently close to you, then you can launch.
Expert opinion: “Bulava” – breaking the U.S. ballistic missile defense, killer
Du Wenlong:
But also can reach the mainland.
The third key is the multiple warheads, which can carry 6 to 10 with multiple warheads, that is, the 6-10 with multiple warheads, and now by the Russian side, 10 is standard equipped with warheads. Then the 10 warheads, you can specify a different target attack, along with its Topol-M designer is a designer, despite being sacked, but his technical systems, technical features, like the missiles will be transplanted, that is, It burst capacity is very strong, it can be said that the sea hit the “Bulava” It is the tearing of a U.S. ballistic missile defense system killer.
LO Chun-yan:
Killer, you mean that the U.S. anti-missile system, now it is simply Fangbu Zhu it?
Du Wenlong:
Because there is a prior model than it earlier, is the famous Alamo. Topol its penetration ability is known, it is, for example, it can take this particular fuel, rise in short-term it is very fast, that you may not be detected, or if you detect a short time. After entering the middle, it can maneuver orbit, and this maneuver orbit, was said to be S-type, M-jumping was said, the Russians said to be unpredictable trajectory and ballistics, that I may be the Russian people I say do not know, you Americans how to block.
LO Chun-yan:
So these two “Bulava” and the “town of the country heavy hammer,” the U.S. anti-missile system, anti-NATO anti-missile system is not it?
Du Wenlong:
This is the Russian courage in defiance of American ballistic missile defense system, a housekeeping skills.
LO Chun-yan:
Here I would like to ask a small question to ask, General Law. Here we also note that this time it is tested, ready to test the site, is still the nuclear submarine from the sea of white on the launch, then fall on the Kamchatka Peninsula, a test field, the path is a regular the path? Because we also know from the South Kuril Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia disputed between the Southern Kuril Islands, Japan, also known as the four northern islands, very close.
Deputy Secretary-General Luo Yuanjun things Sciences, Major General:
This should still be a routine, or a practice, because it previous test, the missile range is reached Kamchatka, so this is no, do not do too much interpretation.
Is Comment: Russia and the United sophisticated weapons who is stronger?
LO Chun-yan:
Another problem you have to interpret it. Because we know that time seems to be some coincidence, on June 1, the U.S. State Department released a report that U.S. and Russia the number of deployed nuclear warheads. Because we also know that, according to a new “strategic nuclear arms reduction treaty,” United States and Russia, their number of deployed nuclear warheads that should be less in 1550, now, according to the June 1 release of the data, the United States deployment is now 1800, and the deployment of the Russian side is 1537, that Russia is more than U.S. 263. Then came yesterday the news came out immediately, I have to restore the Russian “Bulava” missile test-fired. The two messages, one after the other out, seems to make people feel a bit too clever, and your interpretation?
Luo Yuan:
It has its occasional side, but it also has its inevitable side, is how to see that side of the inevitability of what it is like the United States and Russia, their nuclear strategy, they have implemented what is called a strategy, called the balance strategy, or call the balance of terror, or the strategy called mutual destruction, that I can destroy you, and you can destroy me. From this again to reach a balance of terror, the balance of terror is from the situation just described, the United States recently announced his nuclear warhead is 1800, Russia’s nuclear warheads is 1537, it was 263 less.
In addition to this is about the number of nuclear warheads, as well as the delivery tool, is the ICBMs, intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles, as well as a large bomber. In February this year, they reached a new strategic arms limitation treaty, is also a requirement. In this aspect, the nuclear warheads in 1550 to, just tell you, and speak of delivery tool 700. Now how many of the United States, the United States 882, Russia has only 521, so is also a gap.
LO Chun-yan:
Therefore, this time in Russia, it is likely that in order to emphasize the deterrence of nuclear warheads so you see you more than I do, I’ll test it with a deterrent force, “Bulava”, there may be such an intention.
Luo Yuan:
Is an insufficient number of quality I get to fill.
LO Chun-yan:
Well, we advanced an advertisement, advertising, and then we’ll discuss later.
Are reviewing: Russia pay big bucks into the “Bulava”
LO Chun-yan:
“Bulava” is very powerful, but here there is a question to ask Doo, why is it so difficult to research and development process? Russia should also be a weapon power, why the R & D “Bulava” process is not so well, only 50% success rate?
Du Wenlong:
Yard chip just now because of this failure is very association introduced, because the designer is the designer Topol.
LO Chun-yan:
Land-based.
Du Wenlong:
Poplar is a land attack missile, the missile into the sea from inside the land, is the missile to the sea, which requires a lot of some special factors. For instance, a missile body contour problems, and there are some strength issues, underwater launch of the issue. Because in the land launch, you just point the fire, it can automatically fly up; that you do in the water, launching a different way, then you need these technologies are not the same, so I feel that this land attack missile the sea, not a simple transplantation, is a very complex issue.
LO Chun-yan:
What if this year’s five launches, and then a few times … …
