SS-X-30 SARMAT - RS-28 Sarmat
complex 15P128 or 15P228, missile 15A28


upd.11/09/2020

Heavy liquide intercontinental ballistic missile - missile for replacement of the RS-20 / R-36 / SS-18 SATAN ICBMs. 

Launch tube with ejection-test version of ICBM RS-28 Sarmat (test-site Plesetsk before launch 27.12.2017, http://mil.ru)



























Developers:
- Makeev GRTs (State Rocket Center, Miass, the lead developer)
- NPO Mashinostroyenia (Reutov)
- NPO Energomash (engines)
- KBSM (launch equipment)
Some of reserchers had idea about possibility of cooperation with Yuzhnoye Design Bureau (Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine) - it was possible before 2014.

Developing: first information about development of Sarmat was published at 2009. The terms of reference for the development of ICBMs was approved in 2011 and the technical development for the "Sarmat" was begin in 2012.

Tests: first ICBM Sarmat for ejection tests was ready from industry at november 2015 but with several different reasons first launch was delayed to 2017 - engines, truobles with pant, not ready test-site. Media wrote in 2017 that to the end of year plant must build three missiles for ejection tests.

Production of Sarmat missiles was established at main plant of Makeev produce cooperation - Krasnoyarsk Machinebuilding Plant. Contract to produce firsts Sarmats was begin in 2011. And in 2014 production was begin.

Employment of Sarmat ICBM will begin at 2021 at Uzhur (Krasnoyarsk region) RVSN division (as we know now at 2020) and later at Dombarovsky. But in 2015 they said about employment in 2018. My forecast for now - 2023-2025. 

19.11.2019 Ru MoD said that all works for emplayment will be finished at 2021 (ref).

Launch equipment: silo launch complex 15P728 similar to silo compexes for heavy ICBMs like R-36M / R-36M2 SATAN. Developer - KBSM.

Transportation-loading vehicle 15T526. Developer - KB Motor TsENKI.

New video of 9M723 launch (05/08/2020)

 New video of 9M723 launch (05/08/2020)

Russian TV channel Zvezda published at 05.08.2020 new video about training launchs 9K720 Iskander-M of 1th battery of 630th division at Kapustin Yar poligon. At video we can see 2 launchs of 9M723 ballistic missiles, 1 launch of probably Tochka-M missile or cruise missile like 9M728 or 9M729 and Smerch MLRS launchs. I want to post some frames from this video with only 9K720 Iskander-M system.

Interesting moment of launchs of 9M723 - unexpectedly drive maneuver at launch part can change traektory of missiles. 

Special maneuverable drives of 9M723 missile for same correct of traektory.

Yars designation

First post from new military blog "Missiles Underground". We will write about modern missiles systems - russian and other. But most of russian. And lets begin...

Yars designation

Russian mobie ICBM Yars have several modification

1. First mobile model Yars (Topol-MR) - SS-29 or SS-27 mod.2 SICKLE-B - name of complex 15P155M, name of TEL - 15U175M, missile - 15Zh55M, name for INF-treaty RS-12M2R, auto base is MZKT-79221. Base digits 55M because 55 was base digits for Topol-M / Universal missiles and Yars is MIRV-mod of Topol-M.

2. Second mobile mod. Yars-S with middle-class N-warheads and new equipment - name of complex 15P155M1, name of TEL - 15U175M1, missile - 15Zh55M1, name for INF-treaty RS-12M2R1, autobase is MZKT-79221. 

3. Third mobile mod. Yars-M (not in service on 2020, only tested) - new missile probably with separate engine for each MIRV - name of complex 15P180, name of TEL - 15U200 (?), missile - 15Zh80.

Also they had three silo-mod of Yars with similar warheads ability:

1. Yars - name of complex 15P165M, name of launch system - 15P765M, missile - 15Zh65M, name for INF-treaty RS-12M2R.

2. Yars-S - name of complex 15P165M1, name of launch system - 15P765M1, missile - 15Zh65M1, name for INF-treaty RS-12M2R1.

3. Yars-M - name of complex 15P181, name of launch system - 15P781 (?), missile - 15Zh81.

That's all for now about Yars.
