Bulava Missile to overcome any missile defence system

The Russian Navy will shortly put in service the Bulava intercontinental ballistic missiles, Navy Commander-in-Chief Victor Chirkov said.

Bulava Missile to overcome any missile defence system: Voice of Russia

As a result, Russia's marine strategic nuclear force will be significantly strengthened. The Bulava missiles will be put in service on board the strategic nuclear submarine Yuri Dolgoruky, implemented under the Project 955 Borei class, says editor-in-chief of the daily "Nezavisimoe Voennoe Obozrenie" Victor Litovkin.

"Yuri Dolgoruky" will be followed by cruisers "Alexander Nevsky" and then "Vladimir Monomakh". Each cruiser will be equipped with 16 Bulava missiles each having 6 warheads," Victor Litovkin said.

The range of the fourth-generation Bulava missile is 8,000 kilometers. The missile should be the basis of Russia's advanced nuclear deterrent force up to 2040-2045. According to Victor Litovkin, in many aspects, this is a unique missile.

"This is a solid fuel missile and is launched from under water with a higher speed than the liquid-fuel ones. It's impossible to intercept when launching it and air defence systems cannot target it. Moreover, its warheads fly along unpredictable trajectories at hypersonic speed. In view of this, it's quite difficult to intercept the warheads. In addition, Bulava missile overcomes air defence systems with the assistance of falsified targets. In short, the warheads disperse falsified targets and fly in a cloud of these targets. In these circumstances, an air defence radar cannot identify real targets, and missile-interceptors cannot launch real attacks. In fact, Americans have not learned to do this yet," Victor Litovkin added.

We Wish India can develop such technologies where by our enemies are afraid to challenge us.

Bulava reportdly does not have a BUS but uses each warhead which has its own guidance and porpulsion system and can fly towards the target autonomously.

RS-24 and Bulava uses the same warhead as both at developed by MITT , the real breakthrough is not only in warhead/RV design but also decoys.

india can ....... if "we" succeed in streamlining the politics and cleaning out at least the major aspects of corruption

Not unless we improve management of these Defense PSU's and start paying the scientists who develop cutting edge tech something good

Dk, the cash money is complimented in way of Bungalows and apartments given to them. I see the apartments of my college friends in DRDO and

The technologies we have in Agni-3 and Agni-5 are good enough to counter our potential enemies which is China and Pakistan.

The advanced technologies that Russia develops in Bulava or other ICBM are more to counter the massive ABM systems planned in Europe and CONUS by US.

Honestly no one in Delhi is think of going to war with US or NATO and nor our nuclear potential is capable to do that so we dont really need these technologies.

Always better to be prepared to fight anyone.

Realistically speaking our nuclear deterrent is revolved around fighting Pakistan and deterring China .

I will give Russia a lot of credit they did not give on this missile after many failures for years.

Yes, and our current arsenal is more than enough to deter them. But technology keeps changing, and if we do not continue to upgrade at this pace, we'll suddenly be behind. Plus, we also need to deter the faraway nations that might have any interest in taking India.

Re:

I think by having such unbeatable warheads you defeat your enemy psychologically ! No one wishes to use the second strike capability.

China has lots of money sooner or later they can copy or develop such warheads. Second strike capabiliy makes sense only if you manage to save your cities and people from nukes. I think it is useless to nuke your enemy after getting completely anihilated. Hence Bulava type missiles are game changers.

This is unlikely to happen for decades govt has capped ballistic missile program at 5,000km.
