Russian Military Weapons to Destablize the World Order and Disrupt Conflicts

Some of the Russian Weapons that can destablize the World Order, and mantain the capability of Nationalism, Regionalism, Conservadorism, etc. The Arms Race between Russia and USA still goes far, both countries keep investing on that and Russia' style can support a more powerful system, not to use randomly, but to use as proxy provocations, phony wars and disruptive conflicts, at hybrid scenarios.

According to The Independent, the climax of the Cold War keeps boiling between both countries and the recent facts in Syria and Proxy Wars in Syria and Korea can reveal that both countries are fighting for a Hegemony in Geopolitics and worlwide new politics.

Vladimir Putin has said Russia is ready to develop new weapons systems in response to other countries doing the same – and warned that if the US pulls out of a treaty on intermediate-range nuclear weapons, Moscow will do likewise.

Mr Putin said Russia will adhere to a landmark Cold War-era arms control treaty for as long as America sticks to it. 

He said he believes that global nuclear disarmament is a real possibility and that Russia “want[s] it and will be striving to achieve that”. It is a statement never heard before from a Russian leader. 

In 2018, March, Russia announced a missile uncapable to get intercepted, and with the diplomatic capabilty to finish every conflict before it can be considered a treat to them. The wafare-diplomatic Russian strategy got in focus at the time the Country was accused of used Dumb Bombs in the Syria conflict, responsible to death of many children and civilians.

The defense and attack capabilty of the country surpassed the whole world capability, and that's the reason Trump and US Defense are trying to provoke Russia to show its full capabilty, that sometimes its called bluff, but not getting into a direct conflict to them.

Not only using the regular forces, but private military companies that act in shadows, and the uncountable numbers of weapons, but the advanced weapon capability and technological avant-garde.

Some of the weapons they use are:

ATBIP - Aviation Thermobaric Bomb of Increased Power (The Father of All Bombs).

The thermobaric device yields the equivalent of 44 tons of TNT using about seven tons of a new type of high explosive. Because of this, the bomb's blast and pressure wave have a similar effect to a small tactical nuclear weapon, although on a smaller scale. The bomb works by detonating in mid-air. Most damage is inflicted by a supersonic shockwave and extremely high temperatures. Thermobaric weapons differ from conventional explosive weapons in that they generate a longer, more sustained blast wave with greater temperatures. In doing so, they produce more damage over a larger area than a conventional weapon of similar mass.

AVBPM has a capacity equivalent to 44 tons of TNT, which the military did not have before. Between existing Americans GBU-43 bombs and vacuum our huge distance size. It has been achieved by the use of a new type of explosive, the composition is strictly classified. "They" 8200 kg of explosives has an output equivalent to 11 tons of TNT. "We" 7100 kg of explosives equivalent to 44 tonnes.

The bomb is reportedly four times as powerful as the US military's GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb (whose official military acronym "MOAB" is often colloquially called the "Mother of All Bombs" as a backronym). This Russian device would therefore be the most powerful conventional (non-nuclear) weapon in the world.

RS-28 Sarmat - SS-X-30 Satan 2

Russian liquid-fueled, MIRV-equipped, super-heavy thermonuclear armed intercontinental ballistic missile in development by the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau from 2009, intended to replace the previous R-36M missile (SS-18 Satan).

Its large payload of about 10 tonnes would allow for up to 10 heavy warheads or 15 lighter ones (350 kiloton each) or up to 24 hypersonic glide vehicles Yu-71/Yu-74/Object 4202, or a combination of warheads and massive amounts of countermeasures designed to defeat anti-missile systems; it was heralded by the Russian military as a response to the U.S. Prompt Global Strike. It is suspected to have a Fractional Orbital Bombardment (FOBS) capability.

It has a short boost phase, which shortens the interval when it can be tracked by satellites with infrared sensors, like Space-Based Infrared System.

It is speculated that RS-28 could fly a trajectory over the South Pole, completely bypassing any current U.S. missile defense system.

R- 36M - SS-18 Satan

The R-36 (Russian: Р-36) is a family of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and space launch vehicles (Tsyklon) designed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The original R-36 was deployed under the GRAU index 8K67 and was given the NATO reporting name SS-9 Scarp. It was able to carry three warheads and was the first Soviet MIRV (multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle) missile. The later version, the R-36M was produced under the GRAU designations 15A14 and 15A18 and was given the NATO reporting name SS-18 Satan. This missile was viewed by certain United States analysts as giving the Soviet Union first strike advantage over the U.S., particularly because of its rapid silo-reload ability, very heavy throw weight and extremely large number of re-entry vehicles. Some versions of the R-36M were deployed with 10 warheads and up to 40 penetration aids and the missile's high throw-weight made it theoretically capable of carrying more warheads or penetration aids. Contemporary U.S. missiles, such as the Minuteman III, carried up to three warheads at most.

The R-36M (SS-18) is similar to the R-36 in design, but has the capacity to mount a MIRV payload of 10 warheads, each with a 550–750 kt yield, or a single warhead of up to 20 Mt. Throw-weight of the missile is 8,800 kg. This makes the Soviet R-36 the world's heaviest ICBM; for comparison, the heaviest US ICBM (the retired LGM-118 Peacekeeper, that carried 10 warheads of 300 kt each) had less than a half of this, at 4,000 kg. The R-36M has two stages. The first is a 460,000 kgf (4.5 MN) thrust motor with four combustion chambers and nozzles. The second stage is a single-chamber 77,000 kgf (755 kN) thrust motor.

The R-36M was placed into a 39m deep silo in a tubular storage/launch container. Upon launch the missile was shot out of the tube in a mortar fashion, by a piston driven by the expansion of gases from a slow-burning black powder charge. The missile's main engine was ignited tens of metres above the ground, preventing any damage to the internal equipment of the silo from the engine's exhaust.

Russian Cruiser Unlimited Missile

According to CNN, Russian President Vladimir Putin boasted Thursday of new weaponry he claims will render NATO defenses "completely useless," delivering a warning to the world about Russia's resurgent military might.

According to The Diplomat, Russia has been testing its deadliest nuclear weapon currently under development, the super-heavy thermonuclear-armed intercontinental-range ballistic missile (ICBM) RS-28 Sarmat (NATO designation: SS-X-29 Satan 2), Russian President Vladimir Putin announced during his annual State of the Union address on March 1.

“We have launched the development of the new generation of missiles, and, in particular, the Defense Ministry jointly with the missile and space industry launched the active phase of tests of a new missile complex equipped with a heavy intercontinental missile. We called it Sarmat,” Putin said, according to TASS news agency.

A video released during the Russian president’s speech appears to confirm that a much anticipated ejection test — which tests the mechanism of a missile leaving its launch container — has taken place. The launch (there is ongoing speculation about the precise nature of the test) apparently occurred in December 2017 at the Plesetsk space center, located in Arkhangelsk Oblast, approximately 800 kilometers north of Moscow.

The December 2017 test is only the second test of the Sarmat ICBM. “So far, we know of one single test of the new weapon system. In August 2016, the Sarmat’s first stage engine, named PDU-99, was tested. Analysts believe that the engine is a modified version of the RD-274 liquid rocket engine used on the RS-36M ICBMs. However, it is unclear whether the test was successful or not,” I reported in January 2017.

The Sarmat is expected to enter service by 2020, replacing Soviet era RS-36M Voyevoda

ICBMs, which have constituted the backbone of Russia’s silo-based strategic nuclear forces for the past 25 years. However, the program has encountered multiple delays and it is highly unlikely that the missile will be operational by then.

Underwater Drone with Nuclear Propulsion

According to NY Times:

An underwater drone armed with a nuclear warhead powerful enough to sweep away coastal facilities and aircraft carriers.

A hypersonic vehicle impossible to intercept as it flies in a cloud of plasma "like a meteorite."

President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that Russia has these new strategic weapons and many more, declaring: "No one has listened to us. You listen to us now."

Putin unveiled the stunning catalog of doomsday machines in his annual state-of-the-nation speech, saying that Russia had to build them to counter the potential threat posed by the U.S. missile defense system.

Kinzhal Missle Sistem - TOR

The Tor missile system (Russian: "Тор"; English: torus) is an all-weather low to medium altitude, short-range surface-to-air missile system designed for engaging airplanes, helicopters, cruise missiles, precision guided munitions, unmanned aerial vehicles and short-range ballistic threats (Anti-Munitions). Originally developed by the Soviet Union under the GRAU designation 9K330, the system is commonly known by its NATO reporting name, SA-15 "Gauntlet".

A navalized variant was developed under the name 3K95 "Kinzhal", also known as the SA-N-9 "Gauntlet". Tor was also the first air defence system in the world designed from the start to shoot down precision guided weapons like the AGM-86 ALCM day and night, in bad weather and jamming situation. Tor can detect targets while on the move. The vehicle must stop intermittently when firing, although trials are being conducted to eliminate this restriction.

Accordint to Medusa:

In early December, Moscow started deploying the experimental hypersonic, high-precision-guided “Kinzhal” air missile system in Russia’s Southern Military District. Using this weapon, aircraft can deliver missiles to a launch point in a matter of minutes. While in flight, the missile performs maneuvers along its entire route, moving at more than 10 times the speed of sound. These rockets can travel more than 2,000 miles (1,250 miles).

Accordingo to TASS, The Kinzhal hypersonic complex capable of delivering missiles to a discharge point within just several minutes assumed combat duty in south Russia from December 1, 2017, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in his State of the Nation Address to the Federal Assembly on Thursday.

"As an important stage of armament development, a precision hypersonic aviation and missile complex has been created," Putin said.

From December 1, 2017, the new missile complex called Kinzhal "started carrying out its experimental and combat duty missions at aerodromes of the Southern Military District," the Russian president said.

According to Putin, "the unique flight and technical characteristics of the high-speed aircraft-type carrier make it possible to deliver missiles to a discharge point within just minutes while the missile flying at a hypersonic speed exceeding the speed of sound by 10 times maneuvers at all the flight trajectory’s sections, which enables it to reliably overcome all existing and, I believe, future air defense and anti-ballistic missile defense systems, delivering nuclear and conventional warheads to the target to the distance of over 2,000 kilometers," Putin said, adding that the system was called Kinzhal.

The RS-26 “Avangard” missile system

According to RBTH, Russia has created an entire range of hypersonic cruise and nuclear missiles that can prevent any potential conflict.

On March 1, during the annual address to the Federation Council, Russian President Vladimir Putin presented a new weapon that has made the world stand up and take notice.

https://www.rbth.com/science-and-tech/327726-new-russian-weapons

A technological breakthrough in Russia’s weaponry is the RS-26 “Avant-garde” missile with a floating winged unit.

“For obvious reasons, we cannot show the appearance of this product. Even this today has significance, serious significance. I think everyone understands this. But trust me, we have all this and it works very well,” said Putin.

According to Medusa: The “Avangard” missile system is Russia’s latest high-tech weapon to go into mass production. The new weapon can travel intercontinental distances in dense layers of the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds faster than Mach 20, maneuvering and striking its target “like a meteorite, like a fireball.” The rocket travels so fast, Putin says, that it nearly melts into plasma in mid-flight.

Weaponized Laser System

Accordint to NEWS, It may sound like something out of a hi-tech future war movie, but plane-mounted lasers capable of hitting enemy satellites are real.

Russia’s military has reportedly moved a step closer to this reality with the country’s engineers creating such a laser.

A source told Russian media agency Interfax that weapons maker Almaz-Antey had “completed work on the anti-satellite complex” which includes a laser and ground control equipment.

“The development of this complex took place, all the work done will allow to make a step forward in the creation of such aircraft,” the source said.

According to Interfax, defence companies have been working on the plane-mounted laser, which if confirmed to be true, will be capable of hitting enemy satellites.

Russia will “actively use the developments gained in the creation of the aircraft with laser weapons A-60” it said.

In 2017, The Diplmati reported: 

Russia says it is working on a new range of laser, plasma and electromagnetic weapons as well as hypersonic missiles which would be able to hit a US aircraft carrier before the Pentagon even realised it had been fired.

The Kremlin's Deputy Defence Minister Yuri Borisov said yesterday: 'Coming next are hypersonic weapons, which require the use of principally new materials and control systems that operate in a completely different medium, in plasma.'

A hypersonic weapon is a missile which travels at Mach 5 - five times the speed of sound - and it would enable the Russians to strike a target thousands of miles away within minutes.   

Tass reported that Mr Borisov told journalists at the Russian Academoy of Sciences that Moscow: 'We expect an especially serious breakthrough in the field of laser issues, electromagnetic weapons and so on.'
