Recently, Russia’s “Stability 2008″ military exercises attracted much attention. The exercise started from September 22, ended October 21, is the largest since the Soviet Union since the last exercise. During the exercise, Russian armed forces successfully test-fired several missiles, sea and air to showcase the Trinity nuclear forces, so that people see Russia prepare for war deterrent force to enhance the determination of the enemy.
navy and air force were displayed to verify
“stability 2008″ goal of the exercise is clearly declared the Russian military’s global capability. The idea of ??the exercise scenario is: a regional escalation of the conflict as Russia and its allies, Belarus and Western countries, large-scale war between the two sides out of the land, sea and air forces, and finally the use of nuclear weapons. Consistent with the scene set, the Russian land, sea and air “triple” nuclear strike force all involved in the exercise, invested a total of more than 60,000 officers and men.
air deterrence, the Russian Air Force Strategic Air Force to use 20 bombers, for a week of great training. On the one hand the implementation of Russia’s strategic bombers from the Soviet Union since the first “full-load full launch of the” drill, which covered some of the participating bombers fired missiles and all; the other hand, the Russian Tu-160 and Tu-95 strategic bombers near U.S. Russian subarctic Alaska airspace nuclear cruise missiles at a live firing exercises, public demonstrations in front of the U.S. state.
land and sea, the Russian “Tula” nuclear submarine from the Barents Sea 11, launched a new service at the end of the intercontinental missile “Sailing” (SS-N-23 Skiff), the missile successfully over 11,000 km, first hit the Pacific Ocean near the equator of the target. The Russian strategic rocket forces in the northwest of 12 from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russia test-fired a “Topol” RS-12M intercontinental ballistic missile.
ICBMs update speed
in Russia’s strategic nuclear deterrent capability, the land-based missiles is the fundamental force, which is due to Russia’s strategic bombers and strategic submarines Technology backward than the United States, while Russia’s vast territory, to facilitate the deployment of land-based missile launch position.
the Soviet Union, due to economic reasons as well as Russia’s foreign policy adjustment, the loss of Russia’s strategic nuclear forces, almost half of land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, leaving only about 490, and many of the main battle serious type of ICBM extended service. February 3, 2006, representatives of the Russian Strategic Rocket Forces publicly disclosed, there are three models of its equipment ICBMs, including 80 SS-18 missiles, 130 SS-19 missiles, 270 “Topol” missile, with a 1788 nuclear warheads.
significant because the aging missiles, missile base for maintaining the existing operational considerations, live-fire training in the Russian strategic missile forces has greatly reduced the number of times. However, with the eastward expansion of NATO Russia’s economic recovery and increasing pressure to bring Russia, May 2006, when Russian President Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation meeting made clear that “the military strategy of nuclear deterrence and balance” is still the core of Russia’s nuclear policy. Therefore, as an important part of the strategic deterrent force of the Russian strategic rocket troops once again become the focus of Russian objects.
Russian in order to try to modify the existing missiles to extend their service period, he began to deploy a comprehensive update of its land-based strategic missile components, “Topol-M” that has strong penetration and destroy the ability of new ICBM row mounted speed is increased dramatically. “Topol-М” is “Alamo” and improved a range of 10,050 km, an accuracy error of less than 90 meters, firing way road mobile launch and launch silo. According to Russian media reports, the end of this year, Russia plans to “Topol-М” mobile missile launchers to 15, well-type launchers to 50. There is a saying that in 2010, the Russian military will be equipped with 35 mobile launchers, 65 pit launchers.
last year, Russia has successfully test-fired the most advanced intercontinental ballistic missile RS-24. According to reports, RS-24 is active, “Topol-M” new multi-warhead improved. According to local media quoted the Russian Defense Ministry sources said, RS-24 missile will have two kinds of fixed and mobile, capable of carrying 10 warheads, a range of over 10,000 km.
10 22, Russia’s strategic rocket forces commander Solovtsov to the media that the Russian strategic rocket troops in 2009 will be equipped with multi-warhead RS-24 intercontinental ballistic missiles. National security threats in the case of the Russian strategic rocket troops have effectively completed the task of curbing large-scale aggression. After 2050, RS-24 will replace the SS-18, SS-19, with “Topol-M” with the single-warhead intercontinental ballistic missiles, until the mid-21st century to protect the safety of Russia’s main strategic nuclear strike weapon. On the same day, Russia’s strategic rocket troops Press and Public Relations Bureau Wo Fuke announced that Russia successfully launched a day of SS-19 intercontinental ballistic missile, which indicates that the missile’s performance did not change the basic flying skills, you can continue to extended service.
land-based nuclear arsenal in Russia to speed up update at the same time, Russia has stepped up the number of missile-firing, to keep Russia as a nuclear power should have influence. According to Russian media reports, the Russian strategic rocket troops in 2006, a total of six strategic ballistic missile launch tests in 2007 conducted 12 combat training and trial of the missile firing, which also simulated nuclear weapons applications.
new submarine upcoming
in sea and air deterrent, the biggest move in recent years, Russia is Russia’s strategic nuclear submarines and strategic bombers have resumed the global combat duty. Recently, the Russian Navy Commander Admiral Vysotsky will the media: “the construction of submarines, and fourth-generation multi-functional development of the Navy strategic nuclear submarines is a top priority, to build a new generation of Russian efforts to ensure adequate strategic missile submarine funding. “
Vysotsky said new-generation strategic nuclear submarine, referring now to step up construction of 955″ Borey “class submarines that will replace the third generation of 941 Russian Navy active duty type “Shark” class (NATO called “Typhoon”), 667 type “sea eel” class (NATO called “Delta IV”) and “squid” class (NATO called “Delta-3″) ballistic missile nuclear submarines. “Borey” abandoned “Typhoon”-class submarine large awkward shape, figure and the United States “Ohio” class is similar, so its stealth performance, noise reduction and mobility is much better than other indicators, “Typhoon.”
the boat’s “trump card” is being stepped up testing of the “Bulava-M” intercontinental ballistic missile, the Russian view, use the “Bulava” missile “Borei”, will the Russian strategic nuclear forces even more powerful trinity. “Bulava-M” is the “Topol-M” missiles, submarine-launched, and implemented with the “Topol-M” maximum degree of integration. Hit error of only 60 meters, the missile defense system killer. Russian Navy officials recently said it would be fitted out in 2009, “Bulava-M”. However, due to the missile test-fired 8 times, including at least 5 times a failure, but also allow people to worry about, “Borey” class submarines first boat, “尤里多尔戈鲁基” and “Bulava – M” of fielding may be delayed.
military experts believe that in current circumstances, Russia’s key security “Borei” the construction and fitted out, mainly to reduce Russia’s strategic missile submarines with the same period of active service in the United States, “Ohio”-class submarine gap. Can grasp from the current situation, “Borey” overall performance better than “Ohio.”
as the country’s economic situation improved, the reason why the Russian military once again a great effort to create undersea warfare forces, mainly based on its long-standing strategy followed by the Navy to use point of view. Control of the sea and the Western tradition of thinking is different from the Russian Navy’s strategic use of the basic features, not captured in the ocean off the coast of the sea control, but according to their own and the opponent’s strength to determine a unique “side operations.”
so-called “side operations” mainly refers to the use of ballistic missiles, nuclear submarines and long-range cruise missiles carrying nuclear warheads, nuclear submarines, to destroy the enemy from the sea, an important military and economic targets and armed groups, paralyzing the country and the military command, so as to achieve significant strategic results. According to the Russian Navy’s future construction plans, the Russian Navy will continue to increase ballistic missile nuclear submarine force and the multi-purpose submarine construction, and sea-based strategic nuclear forces remain in the “trinity” of strategic nuclear forces of not less than 50% of GDP.
strategic bombers global demonstrations
in space-based, at present there are three Russian bombers: Tu-160, Tu-95 and Tu-22. Among them, the Tu-160 and Tu-95 long-range strategic bombers are, you can hit 10,000 km away strategic objectives. Tu-22 belonging to the late 1970s the production of medium-range bomber, slightly old.
from last year, the Russian air deterrent action frequently. In August 2007, when President Vladimir Putin ordered the resumption of the interrupted 15-year strategic bombers patrol duty. As a result, Russia resumed its long-range aviation in the Arctic Ocean, Atlantic, Pacific and Black Sea area’s strategic patrol flight. According to the Norwegian Joint Air Operations Command Center, in 2006 the Norwegian Air Force F-16 fighter planes to intercept Russian “map” strategic bombers and scrambled 13 times, once in 2007 soared to 44 times. In February this year, also exposed the Russian bombers enter Japanese airspace, approaching U.S. aircraft carrier and other news.
Although U.S. officials once the Russian “map” strategic bombers as a “classic cars”, but the air combat nuclear and conventional cruise missile precision strike capability, or the United States did not give up on them vigilance. “News of the World”

Russian troops to enter the fast recovery
been asserted that the “8. 8 “(Russian military conflict broke out on grid) as a watershed, the Russian diplomatic and military strategy has begun to significantly adjust and become more full of initiative and offensive.
in the massive “stability 2008″ military exercises before the meeting, the Russian military have been in the Pacific, Baltic, Mediterranean and other places held a series of military exercises. In recent years, with the country’s economic situation is becoming increasingly better, the Russian military strength, military spending, military equipment, constantly updated, all military branches continued to increase exercise. Late last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin approved a special cost of nearly $ 200 billion, “2007 to 2015 military revitalization plan” to reduce the gap with NATO. Some experts believe that the Russian armed forces have come out of difficult maintenance phase, has entered the fast recovery period. (Li Jing)
