Recently, as Putin's most proud successor, Medvedev, made domineering remarks. If the United States insists on continuing to put pressure on Russia, Russia will not mind starting a third world war. As soon as these remarks came out, it was directly It caused a sensation in the world, and even Biden was frightened and trembled. After all, the nuclear strike simulation images once released by the fighting nation are still unforgettable by the United States and Western countries.
Among them is the Topol M intercontinental missile, which is known as one of the three major truths in the world. It only takes one to sink many cities in the United States to the seabed . It is precisely because of its terrifying destructive power that NATO named it Sickle B. As the name suggests, in the eyes of NATO countries, this missile is a sickle that harvests human lives, but this missile is the last century. Why does the product developed by
still have such terrifying deterrent power to this day?
In this issue, I will take you to know about the Topol M intercontinental missile, which is known as the Death Scythe in the Western world.
The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union created the birth of the Death Scythe.
The reason why the fighting nation can have such a strong military strength is all thanks to The United States, after all, the United States and the Soviet Union launched an arms race that lasted for more than 40 years, which gave the Soviet Union a huge military-industrial system and R&D technology. During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the United States took the lead in developing the Minuteman series of intercontinental missiles.
This made the Soviet Union feel threatened at the time. The Soviet Union also stepped up its research and development. After eight years, it developed the Topol M's predecessor, the Topol intercontinental missile, and equipped it with the Soviet troops in 1985. The missile was also the world's first launcher. The vehicle is a tool-carrying intercontinental missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead with a range of up to 8,000 kilometers . And once it came out, it caused a lot of deterrence to the United States.
However, with the continuous changes in missile technology, the shortcomings of Baiyang have gradually become apparent. In addition to the limitations in warhead loading, the more important point is that because the missile body is too large, the center of gravity of the vehicle is unstable, and it is often launched. A rollover accident, once a war begins, this mistake will directly change the direction of the war. With the disintegration of the Soviet Union , the fighting nation that inherited most of the Soviet military industry destroyed 50% of the nuclear weapons in the military warehouse due to the economic downturn.
However, based on various considerations, Russia decided to develop a strategic nuclear missile with greater deterrent power to supplement the military strength of the fighting nation. In this context, the Topol m came into being, and with a very high test-fire success rate, it entered the Russian missile force in 1997 and made its first public appearance in the 2010 military parade.
is a world of difference
Don't look at the Baiyang intercontinental missile and the Baiyang M intercontinental missile. They only differ by one m, but the performance of the two weapons is completely different. First of all, from the appearance point of view, the diameter of Topol M is 1.95 meters, the total weight is 47.2 tons, and the missile length increases from 19 meters of Topol to 22.7 meters. This means that each booster of Topol M has to be a little longer. This greatly increases the entire propellant charge space. The diameter of the third-stage engine is increased by more than 15%, which increases the charge space by 30%.
Not only that, Baiyang M is made of the most advanced aramid fiber material at the time. This material is five times stronger than steel, but only one-fifth of the weight. The use of this material can reduce the weight of the missile casing to a great extent, allowing higher acceleration to be achieved while the rocket thrust remains unchanged. Due to various reasons, the range of the missile exceeds 10,000 kilometers. , that is to say, it is launched in Russia and can easily reach the United States.
In addition, the missile’s flight speed reaches Mach 13, and the Russian military has also developed anti- electromagnetic interference capabilities and anti-interception technology for it, making the missile more capable of penetration. According to the Russian military, the missile can break through in today’s world. Any air defense system . At that time, only Militia Three could rival it. It is no wonder that it was called one of the three major truths in the world.
There is also a big difference in strike accuracy. The Topol intercontinental ballistic missile that was put into service in 1985 was developed relatively early, so the missile has always used inertial guidance as the main guidance method, which makes the Topol accuracy very poor. According to data We know that after Baiyang flies 9,000 kilometers, the error will reach 300 meters, which is something that fighting nations cannot tolerate.
Then in 1995, in order to improve the strike accuracy of Topol M, the fighting nation invested US$3 billion in the development of the GLONASS global positioning system. Therefore, the missile added a satellite guidance mode for the first time, reducing the accuracy of Topol M to 200. Within meters. In addition, the Baiyang M adopts a multi-warhead separately guided type, allowing it to carry four nuclear warheads equivalent to of 550,000 tons, or carry 10 separately guided multi-warhead .
Russia developed the GLONASS global positioning system
At that time, the United States only sent 15,000 tons of Little Boy to Japan. Having said this, you can know how terrifying this weapon is. Once the missile lands on the mainland of the United States, it will destroy many medium-sized cities in the United States. And what makes the United States and the West tremble the most is that Topol M can use TEL to carry mobile launch vehicles.
What is TEL?
The so-called TEL launch vehicle is the abbreviation of three English letters: Transport, Erect, and Launch. It is composed of an integrated off-road chassis, equipped with multiple wheels, and each wheel has an independent transmission and suspension system, so that the TEL carrier vehicle is endowed with strong off-road performance.
After using it to carry intercontinental missiles, it can carry out launch operations independently in a field environment without restraint. This also has two advantages. First, it can maneuver continuously to avoid the US military's reconnaissance satellites, so that the United States cannot obtain in advance. The location of the missile launch vehicle , and secondly, once the US military locates the launch vehicle, the TEL carrier vehicle can also use its strong mobility characteristics to leave the killing range before the enemy's nuclear weapons arrive.
Due to the large size of Baiyang M, the 14×14 chassis previously designed for Baiyang was overwhelmed, so Russia’s Minsk Automobile Factory designed a 16×16 MAZ79221 TEL car for it, which can carry Baiyang M avoided previous rollover accidents and greatly improved its secondary nuclear counterattack capability.
Based on its huge power and range, as well as its extremely strong maneuverability, the United States and Western countries call it Crazy Bai Yang. Although this is just a joke, it can also be seen that Western countries are afraid of poplar.. And it is precisely because of the existence of Baiyang M that Western countries dare not confront the fighting nation head-on in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Russia's new nuclear weapons are launched
With the continuous advancement of science and technology, in order to further deter NATO countries, the fighting nation has also developed more powerful nuclear weapons, Yars, Sarmat . These two nuclear weapons can also scare the West.. The Yars intercontinental missile was developed on the basis of the Topol M. It not only has various excellent properties of the Topol M, but can also be deployed on launch vehicles, and can even be deployed on trains and submarines , greatly improving the second Subnuclear counterattack capabilities.
Yars intercontinental missile
In terms of power, Yars has upgraded the Topol M's separately guided warhead. It can carry a nuclear warhead with an equivalent of 2.5 million tons of TNT, or 8 to 10 nuclear warheads with an equivalent of 250,000 tons of TNT. .In addition, in order to further form a deterrent against Laos and the United States, the Russian army developed after Yars, specifically for the Sarmat missile targeting the United States and the West. This missile is recognized globally as the king of missiles.
Sarmat
The missile has a range of up to 16,000 kilometers and can carry 10 nuclear warheads with an equivalent of 750,000 tons of TNT, or a single nuclear warhead of 20 million tons, which is one shot, directly removing a small European country from the map erase. In order to enhance the penetration capability, the missile is also equipped with more than 40 decoys, which makes the old and American air defense system useless.
As early as June 21, Emperor Putin stated that the Russian army’s first Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile will enter combat duty at the end of 2022. But from the editor's point of view, no matter how advanced and powerful these weapons are, we still hope that they can stay in the arsenal.
As Einstein said, I don’t know what weapons will be used in the Third World War, but I know that the Fourth World War will use stones and sticks, Therefore, once a nuclear war breaks out, no country can If you survive, the world will be destroyed, but world peace will always be the eternal truth in the hearts of all mankind.
