The Russians
Sunday, December 30th, 2012The ogives possess a system of inertial orientation assisted by an orientation system to estrelar, that it uses the localization of the stars to determine position. With such ogives of such precision each, the missiles can only be used in against-value missions, that is, against the cities and population centers of the adversary. These vectors possess the reach necessary to reach all territory of the launched United States if from submarines parked in Russian territorial waters, what it guarantees that the platforms operate far from the threat represented for the anti-submarine forces of the Ocidente. It is important to cite that the missile is equipped with iscas thermal and metallic, that acts with the function to confuse radars, enemy detection systems and interceptors. Currently such missiles and its launch emplacements are in deactivation process, with the forecast of its total withdrawal of the active service no longer start of the next decade. The Russians operate 76 missiles R-29R, that carry a total of 228 nuclear ogives.
The moved missiles liquid fuel R-29RM possess a reach of 8.300 kilometers and carry, each one, four VMRI of 100 unitria power of kt. As well as its predecessor, R-29R, these missiles can, if gone off from Russian territorial waters, to all reach the territory of U.S.A. If gone off of international waters, the R-29RM can potentially reach all and any point in the globe. With a precision of up to 500 meters and with already cited ogives, the missiles can act perfectly in missions of against-value and some missions of against-force, not being able, in this last case, to effectively act against silos of missiles adversaries.
