A hypersonic device is a very promising branch in the military field, which cannot be overestimated. As a rule, under this definition is designated an aircraft that can reach from 6,100 to 12,300 kilometers per hour. In the ongoing debate about the question that Russia has developed a hypersonic aircraft, new information has arisen.
“It is assumed that the U-71 will be used for combat equipment of the Sarmat ballistic missile, and the fact that the version of the supersonic device will be adapted for the future PAK DA bomber will not be removed.”
Boris Obnosov, the supreme head of the Corporation Corporation Tactical Missile Armament, indirectly certified the introduction of innovations under the program “Object 4202” to “VPK.name”.
The head of “KTRV” made it clear that discussions about the “4202” project are strictly prohibited, and explained that the creation of such weapons requires well-coordinated work that is being done in this direction.
“About hypersound everyone is remarkably aware of the media. Over these work many countries. We have a huge historical background. ”
Boris Obnosov noted that a brief interpretation was made even during the activity of the MAKS-2015 salon, but the pretext for its announcement was received only after recent notifications about another successful verification of the supersonic apparatus by the Chinese army.
The start of the secret equipment of the People's Republic of China was traced by the Pentagon. According to his delegates, the DF-ZF flying device was abandoned by a ballistic missile from the Uchzhai shooting range from the main Chinese village of Shanxi. It was disconnected from the owner at the edge of the atmosphere, and then it was shuttled to an object that is located at a distance of several thousand kilometers from the launch point. This test was the sixth in the list of China.
Information about the testing of the USPA in the Russian Federation is also “leaking”. For example, last summer, the American magazine The Washington Free Beacon (WFB), referring to a report by analysts at Jane's Intelligence Review, said that Russia had sent the U-71 device on the surface area, where it was presented by the UR-100 intercontinental ballistic missile. from the trench territory of the Dombarovsky association of the Strategic Missile Forces in the Orenburg region.
Experts note that Russia has been working on the development of a test apparatus since 2009. The task of the secret project "4202" is to develop a supernovae of advanced supply, which will significantly increase the potential of the Strategic Missile Forces. The Yu-71 has the ability to be formed by both conventional and nuclear projectile. The line of the hypersonic device cannot be calculated, because it moves at a speed of more than 11,000 kilometers per hour and has the ability to perform maneuvers. These qualities make it impossible to intercept GZLA components of anti-aircraft or anti-tank defense.
Speaking about the "great historical experience" Boris Obnosov has in mind the material of the USSR, who was fortunate enough to get close enough to the practical implementation of a hypersonic aircraft. At the end of the 1980s, a hypersonic test aircraft, also marked with the number "X-90", was produced at the Raduga ICB, which today consists of OJSC KTRV. By construction, it was a cruise missile with a folding wing and a body, where the ramjet engine was located. The X-90 missile had the ability to pick up speed of at least 4.5 M (1 = 1225 kilometers per hour). According to verified sources, however, the data not publicly witnessed, at the turn of the 1980s, the X-90s were sent from a carrier aircraft, and the rocket picked up the estimated speed.
According to “VPK.name” in “KTRV”, today flights with a speed of 3.5-4 M have already been comprehended. However, when the speed changes to 6-7, problems with the propulsion system immediately appear. It is necessary to clarify that at the International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS 2018, the Central Institute of Aviation Motors demonstrated a hypersonic engine, which is capable of developing a vehicle speed of up to 9000 kilometers per hour.
CIAM has the largest platform in Europe, which allows to design the state of flight on the swiftness of 5-7.5 M - 6125-9187 kilometers per hour. Employees of the Institute have created a module acting on a hydrogen fuel hypersonic engine. In the process of testing, with rigging on the stand conditions that are commensurate with the flight number M = 7.4, a positive movement was recorded.
According to Western Chartists, the Russian installation of the U-71 was created in the late 2000s and overcame testing four times. The first trial start occurred in December 2011, the second came in September 2013, the third 2014, the fourth most recently in 2018.
It is planned that the Yu-71 will be used as a military installation of the new intercontinental ballistic missile "Sarmat".
Technical Reference U-71
The Russian Federation has the ability to compress the performance of the US missile defense system thanks to the U-71 hypersonic aircraft, which is currently undergoing tests. The latest weapon will strike a nuclear strike with a speed exceeding 10 times the sound. In the position of impregnable secrecy, Russia is testing the hypersonic operating U-71 flying device. The government manufactures such units to cope with US missile defense.
According to The WashingtonFree Beacon, the flying device is some kind of secret Russian program to develop a certain object 4202. Experts note that the last launch was carried out thanks to the UR-100N UTTH rocket, in which the object 4202 was the upper part, and ended unfavorably.
It is possible that under this indicator there are marked new conversions of hypersonic warheads that are being provided by Russian ICBMs over a long period. The established departments subsequently disconnected from the launch vehicle were ready to change the flight line, and also safely bend around both the current and the created missile defense systems.
This will allow the Russian Federation to make calculated strikes at certain targets, and together with the permissibility of its anti-missile defense device, the capital will be able to safely hit the target with just one projectile. Twenty-four supersonic aircraft with nuclear warheads will soon be installed at the Dombarovsky military base from 2020 to 2025, the Jane's Information Group military analyst firm said. It has been suggested that such actions are being conducted with the aim of influencing Washington during the discussions on the issue of arms control. By this time, the capital will already have the latest intercontinental ballistic missile that can carry the U-71.
Acceleration of hypersonic devices can exceed 11,000 kilometers per hour, and unforeseen agility makes the assignment in their direction absolutely impossible, says the Washington Times.
It is necessary to emphasize that not only the Russian Federation is developing this type of weapon, the USA and China are also engaged in this. However, the Russian Federation is in no way inferior to its competitors. The military journalist Dmitry Litovkin is very optimistic about the production of hypersonic weapons in Russia. Dmitry is sure that our state does not have significant difficulties in this matter. Tension on designing a hypersonic weapon is necessary for a fifth-generation strategic bomber, which will arise shortly and will be equipped with hypersonic cruise missiles that have emerged by this time, - said Dmitry Litovkin.
Despite the non-existence of an accurate, definite position of the Russian authorities, the specialists assume that the government of the Russian Federation is aware of the seriousness of investments in the development of hypersonic technologies. News of intentions in this direction rarely become public property, since information on the development of supersonic weapons is under cover of the strictest secrecy.
