"Exploded in the mine": Reported unsuccessful test launch of RS-28 "Sarmat"

124

The test launch of the Russian RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile was probably unsuccessful. The missile, as сообщают Russian military analysts, exploded right in the mine, causing damage to the Plesetsk test site in the Arkhangelsk region.

Satellite images published online show a huge crater formed as a result of the missile explosion. In addition, the FIRMS fire monitoring system recorded a serious fire in the Plesetsk area. In all likelihood, specialists will now need a lot of time to restore the test site infrastructure.



"Exploded in the mine": Reported unsuccessful test launch of RS-28 "Sarmat"

It is worth noting that experts, analyzing what happened, are not inclined to sprinkle ashes on their heads, emphasizing that at present only the latest Russian intercontinental ballistic missile is being tested. They are necessary in order to eliminate all existing defects.





Let us recall that the RS-28 Sarmat ICBM is positioned by its developers as a missile that cannot be intercepted. Experts explain this by the reduction of the active section of the flight trajectory.

Let us add that the first full-fledged launch of the Sarmat was carried out from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in April 2022. It went according to plan. The training combat units then safely arrived at the Kura test site in Kamchatka, and the calculated characteristics of the rocket were confirmed at all stages of the flight.

The Sarmat ICBM is a development of the V. P. Makeyev State Rocket Center. Experts claim that it has the ability to deliver a multiple warhead weighing up to 10 tons to any point in the world.

    No big deal. The first pancake is always lumpy. The main thing is that a start has been made. By 2030, we will have our own import-substituting ballistic missile.

        Developed by Yuzhnoye Design Bureau. Manufactured by Yuzhmash Production Association. This is the city of Dnepr (Dnepropetrovsk), Ukraine. The control system was developed by NPO Elektropribor in Kharkov.

          It is indecent to lie.

          The development of engines for the RS-28 Sarmat rocket was carried out by NPO Energomash, which received a technical assignment for the development of a promising propulsion system in early 2013. The product was named PDU-99. By decision of the Russian Ministry of Defense, production was given to the PAO Proton-PM enterprise. The first successful fire tests of the first stage engine took place in August 2016.

          On June 28, 2015, the Washington Free Beacon published information about the development and testing in Russia of the hypersonic UBB Yu-71 "Glider" (object "4202") - initially a warhead of the ICBM "Sarmat", which turned into an independent project (speed up to 11 Mach) (C)

          Yes. But the first one is a modernized version of the second one, developed in the USSR, on a Soviet, not imported, element base. And therefore there is no talk of any import. Accordingly, there is nothing to import-substitute.

            That's exactly it, the USSR. And Ukraine was part of that USSR. And the development of the Sarmat began because the service life of the Voevodas had expired, which had been extended several times already, and it is unknown what state they are in now. Otherwise, it may turn out that Putin is scaring NATO with his bare ass. That's why they didn't care about all the red lines. The bet was made on the Sarmat, but they still can't bring it to fruition.

                        The operational-tactical complex "Sapsan" can be considered a conditional prototype of the "Zelensky missile". The project was truly all-Ukrainian - almost 2013 million hryvnias were spent on it until 200. Up to 12 thousand people from all over the country were involved in the design of the product. In 2013, "Sapsan" was frozen, and after the Maidan, Kiev did not have the funds to restore the work. But the money was found among the Saudis, who decided to take advantage of Ukraine's Soviet legacy and get their own ballistic missile on the cheap. This is how the "Thunder-2" project appeared, on which Saudi Arabia spent several tens of millions of dollars. The finished sample was never presented to the customer, and later the SVO began. No Ukrainian thunder exists in nature.

                        Supervisor,

                        According to a statement from the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, Russian air defense forces have shot down a Grom-2 tactical missile belonging to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) for the first time.

                        I think we can end here.

                        That is, when Konashenkov says that they destroyed the petriot, he is lying shamelessly, but as for the supposedly shot down Grom-2, he is telling the truth. laughing
                        It is difficult to assess the combat potential of the Grom-2 even theoretically. Tests in Saudi Arabia were never conducted. The missiles are vulnerable to Russian air defense. Officially, the Grom-2 is not produced and is not in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

                        In August 2022, explosions occurred at the Saki airfield near the village of Novofedorovka in Crimea. It was assumed that it was Ukrainian Groms that reached the strategic facility. The key words are "assumed" and "not produced and not in service"

          1. SATAN mod.1,2,3, aka RS-36M of various modifications up to R-36M UTTH, were produced in the USSR. The final assembly of the last product of this type was made in the USSR. So no import. But the fisheries came for regulations - from Dnepropetrovsk, and from Kyiv, and from Kharkov until the very final dismantling.
          2. SATAN mod.4,5, aka R-36M2, aka "Voevoda", was produced until the collapse of the USSR. All products underwent final assembly stages during the USSR. Industrial supervision was carried out according to the same scheme.
          All current missiles in Russia are assembled in Russia.

            Before you write nonsense, define your concepts and time, okay? What was then and what is now. Everything that was before the collapse of the USSR is now irrelevant. In the current reality, the RS-36 of all modifications is an imported product. Hence the desire of the Ministry of Defense to make the same, but entirely on its own base.

The R-36M and its subsequent modifications were not and are not imported products, since they were produced on the territory of the then USSR. Missiles after it are also not imported products, since they are produced on the territory of Russia exclusively from domestic components and on a domestic element base. Imports are not allowed in the Strategic Missile Forces. Only MZKT was able to occupy this niche. And there are reasons for this.

The main thing is that if something happens, they could take off from the silos. For example, Bulava had 33 test launches before being put on active duty.

                  It is impossible to classify - they are obliged to warn. It is impossible to hide the launch of a ballistic missile anyway - but it is possible to run into trouble. If no one is warned and does not know whether it is a training/test launch or a combat launch against the US naval base. No one will wait to see whether it will fly to, say, Norfolk or to Kourou.

Sometimes, you won't believe it, but because of our secrecy, they simply praised our developments as their own, although they weren't even available yet. Look, Trump said that we stole hypersonic weapons from the Americans. And they believe this statement in the West, and some people believe it in us too.

Yeltsin's words to Kravchuk are not yet a document. In addition, keep in mind that the border with Ukraine was not demarcated. Moreover, their own constitution was in effect there and, paradoxically, Ukraine never abolished it. Therefore, all those votes that were held there on the status of Crimea since the collapse of the USSR are actually legal.
                    And the fact that someone does not recognize Crimea for some political or economic reasons, so what. But Crimea was returned to us quite legally, legally. China also recognizes Taiwan as its own and the Americans, as it were, too, but what is the result?

      As an option) in fact - a big problem and not only for us, but for all nuclear powers. With the exception of the DPRK) computer modeling is good, but does not replace physical testing. The warranty period for a thermonuclear warhead in the USSR was 10 years. After all, processes are ongoing. And whether it will explode at all after this period is a question. They are not subject to repair - only replacement. Only practical tests of a 20-year-old charge can answer this question. But tests are not carried out. So either withdraw from the Treaty (but this is also in everyone else's hands - they will also gladly use it), or take dozens of different charges with different expiration dates, which are in service in the Russian Federation, to North Korea and conduct tests there to obtain real results.

        It seems like little children are here. The heads are removed and sent for recycling, getting rid of the waste elements that accumulate there over time due to the decay of plutonium. New or recycled and restored ones are put back on the missiles. This is the case with us and the Americans. The quantity already on the missiles according to the Treaty is important. And their performance and their fuses have long been tested at the testing ground and worked out like the Kalashnikov assault rifle, so blowing them up for testing is unnecessary.

      That's the mystery, there was an explosion in the mine.
      Again, from history.
      During one of the first tests after exiting the mine, Voevoda went vertically downwards - the control unit did not start. At that time, the explosion crater was 70 meters in diameter.

    Let us add that the first full launch of the Sarmat was carried out from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in April 2022. It went according to plan.

    The author forgot to clarify that after April 2022, at least, there were no more successful launches, this was the first successful launch, and it is also the last one for now. What kind of tests are these, if after a success there is complete silence for two and a half years? Please do not tell us about the SVO and about the fact that there was no time for the "Sarmat" - if we are positioning what is happening as a war with NATO, bringing new ICBMs to mind is a priority project. Have there been any insoluble problems? Well, judging by what happened, it has clearly not been possible to eliminate them yet.

    At launch, the powder charge is triggered, pushing the rocket to a certain height, and only after that the starting engines begin to work. If there is an explosion in the silo, then perhaps there was a problem with refueling, since a large amount of heat was released. This has already happened once, though with another rocket, then the commander of the USSR Missile Forces died. Then it was an installation error in the 2nd stage launch block. No matter, they figured it out and the rocket subsequently flew. Now the telemetry is of better quality, they will figure it out. Of course, it would be bad if there was sabotage. But on the other hand, if there is sabotage, then the rocket itself is normal and having eliminated the cause, everything will be fine. Although, maybe and most likely some kind of error in preparation for launch.
    Well, it's strange that the incident was reported only by one source. Maybe another fake news story?

The continuity of generations in the nineties and noughties was broken. The new generation can basically only google on the Internet.

Now they are reprocessing various instrumentation and weapons systems. Technologies do not stand still and it is not worth copying the old when there is an opportunity to improve the machine.

    It is just a concept-opinion: the temperature occurring on the walls of the rocket rising from the silo is not borne by the rocket walls themselves, which transfer the heat to the inside of the rocket causing it to explode. For the Sarmat, which has a diameter of three meters, was the diameter of the silo adjusted in relation to the heat produced and the travel time to total exit? Remember that as the diameter of the rocket doubles, the diameter of the silo must be quadrupled. One must also take into account the output duration; the longer the duration, the greater the exposure to direct heat that is difficult to dissipate; it is 200 tons, there is a lot of inertia, a lot of heat.

      The launch control point is located in a well-protected bunker at a considerable distance - at least 1 km from the mine. This is a testing ground, after all. The bunker for monitoring the launching missiles is located 5 km from the mines.
      If anyone died, it was probably several people who were doing the refueling and monitoring it. Unless, of course, it was done automatically. That is, the connection for refueling was made, they connected it and moved away to a safe distance of up to 1 km, to the launch control bunker. Heptyl is still very toxic and even a small leak can lead to death. Perhaps some other solution. But in any case, there were a minimum of people there. Perhaps 3-4 people in the shaft, no more. Control of the correct loading of the rocket into the shaft and connection of communications. But this is before refueling.
      And since there are no condolences or references to death from the Ministry of Defense, then most likely there are no losses either. . In general, the rocket is loaded into the shaft in a special case, the necessary connections are made and the people leave, then the automation and telemetry work. That's it. After refueling, all systems are checked remotely, the task is entered into the heads - models. That's it, the rocket is ready for launch.

      No need to invent. There were no problems with Sarmat launches up to this point. And even then, if it exploded in the silo before launch, then it was not the rocket itself. Or the propellant charge spontaneously started for some reason with the hatch closed and destroyed the rocket, causing a fire or a violation of safety regulations when filling with liquid fuel before launch. Although the launch was a test. Something was changed in the design and put to the test. Or they produced a series and decided to conduct a trial launch of one of the rockets from the test stand to confirm normal functionality.
      Malicious interference during assembly is also possible.
