According to reference sources, Russia's Putin said that the Russian Strategic Rocket Forces will receive 15 launchers of the "Yars" intercontinental missile and the "Avangard" hypersonic missile. "In the conditions of changes in the nature of military issues and the emergence of new military-political risks, the role of the nuclear triad in ensuring the strategic balance of power in the world has increased significantly ......," Putin said at an expanded ministerial meeting of the Russian Ministry of Defense
Fifteen launchers of the Yars ICBM and the Avangard hypersonic missile will be put on combat duty by the end of this year. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said at the meeting that in 2023, the Russian army will build a total of 592 facilities for the installation of "Sarmat" intercontinental missiles, "Avangard" hypersonic missiles and "Yars" intercontinental missiles.
The Petrel is a subsonic missile with a small nuclear-powered engine that can theoretically fly for up to 3 years until it runs out of fuel. Its yield is more than ten times that of the atomic bombs dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
It adopts a composite guidance method of inertial guidance, satellite navigation, and terrain matching, and has extremely strong precision strike capabilities. The biggest advantage is the ultra-long flight distance and ultra-low-altitude flight penetration ability. The long flight range means that the strike route can be flexibly planned to avoid interception by enemy anti-missile systems as much as possible. In addition, the missile has a built-in nuclear reactor, which will not dare to be easily shot down even if the enemy finds it, because once shot down, it may lead to nuclear ** or nuclear contamination.
According to The Paper, because the "Haiyan" has a strong strategic deterrent effect, it has aroused great concern from the United States and other countries. John Hayden, commander of the US Strategic Command, said frankly: "The US military has no way to stop Russia's new missiles.
If these missiles, which can carry nuclear warheads or even carry their own nuclear power units, approach, even if they have a 50 percent success rate, they will still cause unimaginable catastrophes. "The head of the British Defense Intelligence Agency, Lieutenant General Jim Hockenhull, also believes that the "Petrel" that Russia is testing is too dangerous and will pose a serious threat to European security.
Karakaev, commander of the Russian Strategic Rocket Forces, said that the study of the demonstrative study on the path of missile perfection has not been interrupted, which helps the military to make a timely decision on starting the construction of new systems and improving existing ones.
"The creation of a scientific and technical reserve on the basis of the research already carried out to guarantee the creation and improvement of strategic missile systems is included in the state armaments program and other federal programs," Karakaev said. Karakaev pointed out that all of Russia's strategic rocket mobile units have been equipped with the "Yars" missile system.
He also said that the development of the new "Sarmat" silo-based missile system has been basically completed, and the system has unique tactical performance and embodies Russia's advanced achievements in the field of rockets and space.
According to The Paper, Russia** reported that the world's most powerful Russian "Sarmat" missile is preparing for flight-design tests, including launching missiles to fly to the South Pole. Military expert, retired colonel Sergei Overchenkov believes: "Russia seems to be moving towards a distance of 1The 50,000-kilometer South Pacific range test-fired the Sarmat missile.
We need this test launch, both from a military-technical point of view and from a diplomatic point of view. First of all, Russia will demonstrate to the whole world the strategic power of its most powerful new ICBM. Secondly, in the context of the global confrontation between Russia and the West triggered by the conflict in Ukraine, this will be a show of strength for Russia.
Putin has previously stressed that the reason why Russia wants to develop the "Haiyan" missile is, on the one hand, because the United States withdrew from the "Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty," and on the other hand, it is also the result of Russia's long-term pursuit of an "asymmetric counterbalance strategy." What exactly Russia's conventional military power is has already shown very clearly in the "special military operation".
On the whole, Russia's conventional military strength has long ceased to be the second highest level in the world. Strategically, Russia is no longer able to contain NATO's eastward expansion and the all-round strategic encirclement of Western countries. As a result, Russia had no choice but to move out the "Haiyan" missile once again, and constantly emphasized its advantages of "unlimited endurance," "strong breakthrough capability," and "nuclear strike capability."
In the face of Russia's lead in missile technology, the United States naturally felt tremendous pressure. The United States has long been regarded as a world leader in military technology, but in the field of missile technology, there is a noticeable lag. On the one hand, in terms of conventional, Russia has certain shortcomings.
Therefore, Russia can only seek a breakthrough in the strategic aspect and achieve overtaking in a technological corner. On the other hand, the United States Fire Dealer focuses more on developing products with high economic efficiency and easy market sales. This has led to a noticeable lag in the United States in the strategic sphere. Thus, for a certain historical period, the United States will still not be able to catch up with Russia in missile technology.
According to CCTV, military observer Meng Xiangqing believes that the current accelerated development of hypersonic by the United States and Russia will stimulate other countries to launch an arms race in the field of relevant equipment research and development, which will also bring instability to the global security situation.
In general, Russia is building a more comprehensive triad of nuclear forces, while the US nuclear forces are mainly concentrated in air-based and sea-based nuclear forces. Russia is ahead of the United States in hypersonic missile technology, which gives it an even greater advantage in terms of nuclear forces. The United States, on the other hand, has an advantage in nuclear strategic flexibility and precision strikes, especially in terms of prudence and legitimacy in the use of nuclear weapons. In today's world, reducing nuclear risks and maintaining strategic stability have become issues of common concern to the international community. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to use diplomacy, arms control and other means to urge the two sides to exercise restraint and rationality on the nuclear issue and jointly maintain global peace and stability.
In the midst of this international political upsurge, people have begun to think: Is this kind of armed confrontation really the best way to solve the problem?Some observers believe that relying too much on military means could lead to an escalation of tensions in the region and even uncontrollable consequences. On the other hand, there are those who argue that only a strong stance can preserve the dignity and security of the country. This controversial summary highlights a topic of great concern in current international relations: how to safeguard national interests while avoiding a situation of unmanageable conflict.
In the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia is in the active position. The "nuclear punch" that Russia has prepared for the United States in 2024 must be very advantageous. If new missiles and new warheads, including new launchers and support devices, are added to the combat sequence, so that under the US blockade, what Russia will show is, first, the speed at which new ** equipment will enter the ranks will continue to increase;Second, the performance of new first-class equipment has been continuously improved. New, new technology equipment, its technical state is constantly improving. The United States' goal of weakening the Russian economy and reducing Russia's innovation ability through the Russia-Ukraine conflict has not been achieved, but under pressure, Russia's ** height has exceeded the expectations of the United States.
Russia's military modernization is not only a technological upgrade, but also a staunch defense of its national and international status. The combat readiness of 15 sets of "Yars" and "Avangard" missiles, the accelerated construction of 592 facilities, and the accelerated construction of nuclear power infrastructure are undoubtedly a series of decisions that play a crucial role in shaping the future military pattern
In the face of this change, the international community needs to think seriously and find a way to safeguard the security interests of all countries and jointly promote peaceful development. At this critical juncture, Russia's arms escalation has provided us with profound enlightenment and a deeper understanding of the complex variables in international politics
