New Russian rockets are capable to overcome American ABOUT
The Russian militarians approve, that have received the nuclear warhead, capable to overcome antimissile defense of the USA. Results of the test of an intercontinental ballistic missile lead yesterday "Poplar-th" testify to it with a new head part, informs a today's issue of the edition "Businessman".
Yesterday's rocket firing ?N-12I1 "Poplar-th" from a mobile launcher was already the sixth within the limits of test of the system created for overcoming of the American antimissile defense. However for the first time start-up has been made not from Plesetsk, and from proving ground Kapustin Jar on the tenth proving ground Balkhash located in Kazakhstan (Priozersk). It has been made that means of tracking of the USA for Alaska could not observe of the maneuvers, made by warheads after branch from intercontinental ballistic missiles. At flight from Kapustin Jara to Balkhash all parameters of flight can be supervised by exclusively Russian means of the control.
Yesterday Ministry of Defence has declared, that start-up was successful. The Russian militarians approve, that the maneuver made by a warhead on a trajectory of its flight on a final site does not allow to carry out its interception and destruction by existing systems of antimissile defense.
Under the application of strategic purpose of Nikolay Solovtsova ordering rocket armies, equipment of regular parts by mobile "Poplars-ths" with new warheads should begin in 2006. In the further annually in armies should act up to nine launchers. In parallel new warheads it is planned to establish for 40 units already developed in quantity mine "Poplar-th" and perspective sea rockets "Aoeaaa-30", created for arms of nuclear submarines.
Besides the Moscow institute heating engineers now works above equipment of "Poplars-th" by divided head parts of individual prompting. If this project will be realized, Russia for the first time will start creation mnogozarjadnyh intercontinental ballistic missiles after Moscow has refused their manufacture on conditions of niaaonei-American contract NIA-2 which has stopped the existence after the beginning of creation by Washington systems ABOUT.
We Shall remind, that all several days ago, on October, 27th Armed forces of the Russian Federation have made the first tests of other rocket of new generation "Bulava". Then the heavy rocket underwater cruiser of strategic purpose of Northern fleet "Dmitry Donskoj" under command of the captain of 1-st rank of Arcady Romanov has made start-up of a ballistic missile of sea basing "Bulava" from water area of the White sea on range the Hen on Kamchatka.
As the assistant to the commander-in-chief of the Navy - the chief of the press-service of the Navy the captain of 1-st rank Igor Dygalo has informed, the head part of a rocket in an estimated time has hit the target on range. As have noted in Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation, distinctive feature of the given rocket is that it is completely developed and created at the enterprises of the Russian defensive complex. Besides "Bulavu" probably to unify with a ground rocket complex of strategic purpose "Poplar-th".
In the ministry have added, that after test start-up the rocket will be established on arms of underwater cruisers of the project 955, one of which, APL "Jury Dolgoruky", will be a part of the Navy of the Russian Federation in 2007a.
I'm so glad we bought this new system for them with American tax-slave dollars. Enjoy Pooty! /s
Oh brother. we're subsidizing anti-US armies now... is there anything the US hasn't given money to??? I am sure they are spending millions to conduct a search for more opportunities to spend money.
This is pointless, unless they want to export it. The Russian ICBM program has always relied on lots of strikes, and huge warheads. If they ever pull the pin, we're all dead men regardless of what's up in Alaska.
What they have now is never going to something a anti-missile system can cope with, and they know it. I'm sure there is some geopolitical reason for this, but I don't know what it is.
That's OK, as our missile defense system was never designed to defend against the kind of massive attack we would expect from the Russians. It was designed to defend against a minimal missile attack from a rogue state or non-state actor.
That's how I always looked at it. A small attack from North Korea or Wherever-stan would be worthwhile to try and stop. No matter what ruinously expensive changes in their weapon hardware they made, a comparatively inexpensive software or reconfiguration could cope with it. We stay safe, they go (more) bankrupt.
Russia though? They punch a heck of a lot harder than North Korea, and not much is going to change that.
"mnogozarjadnyh"
Every day, I learn a new word on Free Republic.
Always have, always will. All in the name of trying to buy friendship.
You mean Russia's nukes are a lot more powerful than ours? I thought their military power is weakening?
I have just started the Global Right-Wing Freedomist Institute (for peace through worldwide freedom) organization and I need the fedgov to give me a few million to get it moving. Would that be the State Dept?
Non-nuclear power is weaker, if they had a real war they might have to resort to nukes because they can't fight a traditional one
Oh brother. we're subsidizing anti-US armies now
It's all about oil.
Interesting. I was considering opening the "Peace through Superior Firepower Institute". I'd like to get some funding too.
Is that in the article? Or is that your private notion?
Frankly, these computerized translations are so hard to read that maybe it does say what you (and others) imply, but if it does, I can't find it.
The administrative leaders of the Russian Federation aren't very bright, are they. ...pretty much as transparent as the Iranian leadership they're playing fog-of-war footsie with.
Iran will be dealt with despite any vain chest thumping. The Russian military has issued the same empty threat about several different missile designs since our anti-ballistic missile defense program first went public. Russia's military is really very weak and behind on technology.
New Iran missiles can reach London

Things likely must happen soon, though, friends. Let's act like Americans.
Doesn't China actually have more active missiles than Russia now?
