kerbiloid Posted Thursday at 12:32 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:32 PM Not about the politix, but about the missile launches. Tonight missile strike on the Yuzhmash plants in Dnepropetrovsk. Some say, by the new RS-26 Rubezh IRBM (the offspring of Yars/Topol) with MRV head (not officially confirmed). https://vk.com/video391444100_456239055?ref_domain= https://vk.com/video-31371206_456276253?ref_domain= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natso Posted Thursday at 12:59 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:59 PM It is not a space missile , it is a 3-stage, global-range "RS-28 Sarmat" ballistic missile carrying a nuclear warhead that crashes into the target at a speed of 4000m/s. Unfortunately I don't have the ability to build a launcher vehicle like "Topol" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me is interested to have a look at the internals of the memorial R-36M at the Yuzhnoe. Not from bad nature, but to see, what's inside from the 3d modelling pov. The 2d pictures are too schematic, and they don't present the geometry in the same way. Hard to distinguish the panels and the seals. (Unlikely there is another chance to see that in details.)

It's a Yars minus one stage. 2 hours ago, kerbiloid said: Me is interested to have a look at the internals of the memorial R-36M at the Yuzhnoe.

Still thinking: six shot sixpacks straight verticaly. Of course, this can be lightweight RVs and heavy decoys around them, but what if it's a secret orbital ion cannon? It would be nice to send one to the (Moon, Mars, whatever) to collect evaporated ground samples. *** Upd. Officially, it was the new IRBM Oreshnik / Hazel.

kerbiloid Posted Saturday at 07:29 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:29 PM (edited) Technically, about the launch (the one mentioned above), but actually about the European Avio space company (can't find a thread on it). https://topwar-ru.translate.goog/254314-posle-prileta-oreshnika-rukovodstvo-juzhmasha-ne-kommentiruet-perspektivu-proizvodstva-raketnyh-dvigatelej-rd-843-dlja-stran-nato.html?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru&_x_tr_pto=wapp (Like always, ignore the comments.) Quote After the arrival of the Oreshnik, the management of Yuzhmash does not comment on the prospect of producing RD-843 rocket engines for NATO countries. <...> It is noteworthy that in mid-September, the management of Yuzhmash announced that it would continue to produce RD-843 rocket engines for the European company Avio until 2027. In European terminology, this engine is called MEA. The company is represented by factories in France and Italy. It is engaged in the production of rockets, spacecraft (including spy satellites for France and other NATO countries). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RD-843 Edited Saturday at 07:35 PM by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very much durians in Russia. Maybe somebody's perfume was not packed well, and is broken. Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
