Million in TNT equivalent, the firing radius covers the territory of the USA. Baijiahao: the Yars missile can reach anywhere in the world, and it is impossible to intercept itThe Topol-M ICBM is considered a "nuclear superbomb", but Russia has an even stronger weapon, writes user Baijiahao.
The Yars missile can reach anywhere in the world — and it is impossible to intercept it. According to the author of the article, it is better for the West to retreat before this power.
You can say that Putin is already at an advanced age, or that the Russian economy has been rather sluggish in recent years, or that Moscow cannot keep up with the current pace of development. But never dare to say that Russian missiles are bad. They are still at the top of the world and at the forefront of development and research.
Today we will talk about a missile that is even more powerful than a nuclear super-bomb — the Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). What kind of weapon is this? How strong is it?
As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalates, the economic sanctions imposed by Western countries against Moscow are becoming more intense, as a result of which Russia's military spending is growing at an incredible rate, and the material security of the people is deteriorating. But Putin knows well that those who lag behind will be beaten, so it's better to save on clothes and food, but invest in the development of the defense industry. After all, only having a firm fist, you can have the right to vote in the international arena and protect the territory of your country from encroachments.
Therefore, Russia has created a ballistic intercontinental missile comparable to the Topol-M. If you look at it, you might think: isn't this "Topol-M"? Maybe it's an upgraded model? In fact, these are different devices, just the external design is similar. Although they are both launched from self-propelled installations, the internal structure and technology of the rockets are different.
The design of the Topol-M ICBM still uses the inertial guidance of the previous generation Topol and a common three-stage scheme with solid-fuel main engines, but the ratio of the components of the fuel mixture has been changed. Therefore, the Topol-M is capable of carrying a larger warhead compared to the previous model, the accuracy of hitting the target has increased.
As for the Yars intercontinental ballistic missile, it was developed by the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering. The length of the ICBM is about 23 meters, its diameter is about 3 meters. The main feature is that it has a firing range of 12 thousand kilometers. Thus, from whatever point in Russia it was launched, it is capable of hitting any corner of the world.
The payload of the Yars is even more admirable. The ICBM can carry four more warheads than the Topol-M, which raises its strike power several times. If one warhead is designed for 200 thousand tons in TNT equivalent, then the total explosive power of the Yars can be equivalent to a million tons! Who wouldn't be afraid of such power?
Yars has another incredible ability: no missile defense system in the world can stop the penetration of a missile.
The maximum speed limit of the "Yars" reaches Mach 14. Just imagine: an ICBM with a capacity of one million TNT equivalent can reach speeds of up to Mach 14! Most anti-missiles won't be able to fix even her tail flame, that's how scary she is!
Even a perfect interception system, in principle, is not capable of blocking Yars with absolute accuracy. And as soon as the rocket reaches the target, grass will not grow for a long time within a radius of a hundred kilometers.
Therefore, I advise all Western countries to properly assess the situation and retreat, even if it will be difficult. Don't wait for the polar bear to get angry and send the "Yars" into the air. Once the rocket rises into the sky, there will be no stopping it. If it really comes to this, I'm afraid that you will be able to tell your secrets only to the Lord.
