Although the era of the "cold" war remained in the past, today there are enough problems in the world, which falls from the latest developments in the field of weapons. At first glance, the main world problems proceed from terrorist groups, the relationship of some major world powers is also sufficiently tense.
Recently, the relationship between Russia and the United States has been extremely aggravated. Using NATO, the United States surrounds Russia with missile defense systems. Russia concerned about this began developing hypersonic aircraft, so-called "drone", which can carry nuclear warheads. It is with these projects that the secret supersonic head "YU-71, which is tested in the situation of strictest secrecy.
History of the development of hypersonic weapons
The first tests of airplanes capable of flying at a speed exceeding the speed of sound began in the 50s of the 20th century. It was associated with the era of the cold "war, when the two strongest superpowers of the world (USA and the USSR) tried to bypass each other in the arms race. The "Spiral" system was the first Soviet development in this area. It was a small orbital aircraft, and should have complied with the following parameters:
- The system was to surpass the American X-20 "DYNA SOAR", which was a similar project;
- The hypersonic carrier aircraft was supposed to provide a speed of about 7,000 km / h;
- The system was supposed to be reliable and not collapsed during overloads.
Despite all the efforts of Soviet designers, the characteristics of the hypersonic carrier aircraft did not even approach the cherished high-speed digit. The project had to close, as the system did not even take off. To the huge joy of the Soviet government, American tests also failed with a crash. At that time, world aviation was still infinitely far from speeds exceeding several times the speed of sound.
Tests that have already been more close to the technologies associated with the hypersub were held in 1991, then in the USSR. Then the flight "Cold" was carried out, which was a flying laboratory created on the basis of the C-200 missile complex, based on the 5V28 missile. The first test passed quite successfully, since it was possible to develop a speed of about 1,900 km / h. Developments in this area continued until 1998, after which they were cooled due to the economic crisis.
Development of supersonic technologies in the 21st century
Although there is no accurate information about the development of hypersonic weapons for the period from 2000 to 2010, having gathered materials from open sources, it can be seen that development data was conducted in several directions:
- First of all, combat blocks for ballistic intercontinental missiles are being developed. Although their mass is much higher than the usual missiles of this class, due to the implementation of maneuvers in the atmosphere, they cannot be intercepted with standard means of pro;
- The next direction of the development of supersonic technologies is the development of the Zircon complex. This complex is based on the supersonic PC "Yahont / Onyx";
- A rocket complex is also being developed, the rockets of which will be able to develop the speed, which exceeds the speed of the sound 13 times.
If all these projects combine in one holding, the rocket that will be created by joint efforts will be able to be both ground and air or ship-base. If the American project "PROMPT GLOBAL STRIKE", which provides for the creation of supersonic weapons capable of hitting any point in the world during one hour, is crowned with success, Russia will be able to protect only intercontinental supersonic rockets of their own development.
Russian supersonic rockets whose tests record British and American specialists are able to develop a speed of about 11,200 km / h. They are almost impossible to knock and even extremely difficult to track. Information about this project, which often appears under the name Y-71 or "Object 4202", is extremely small.
The most famous facts about the secret weapons of Russia Yu-71
Secret Glader Yu-71, which is part of the Russian rocket supersonic program, is able to fly to New York in 40 minutes. Although this information is not officially confirmed, based on the fact that supersonic Russian missiles are able to develop the speed of over 11 00 km / h, these conclusions can be made.
According to a few information that you can find about it, Gulder Yu-71 is able to:
- Fly at a speed of over 11,000 km / h;
- Possesses incredible maneuverability;
- Able to plan;
- When making a flight can be in space.
Although the tests are not yet completed, everything says that by 2025, in service with Russia, this supersonic glader, armed with nuclear warheads, may be in service. Such a weapon will be able to be almost anywhere in the world for an hour and put a point nuclear strike.
Dmitry Rogozin said that the Defense Industry of Russia, which during the USSR was the most developed and advanced, much lagged behind the arms race for the 90s and 2000s. Over the past decade, the Russian army begins to revive. Soviet technique is replaced with modern high-tech models, and the weapon of the fifth generation, which since the 90s "stuck" in the design bureau in the form of projects on paper, begins to gain quite concrete outlines. According to Rogozin, the new Russian weapon can surprise the world of its unpredictability. Under unpredictable weapons, it was most likely due to the Glader Yu-71 armed with nuclear warheads.
Although this unit is developed at least since 2010, information about his tests came to the US military only in 2015. The Pentagon from this fell into complete despondency, because in the case of the use of YU-71, the entire system of pro, which is installed on the perimeter of Russia, becomes absolutely useless. In addition, the United States themselves become defenseless in front of this secret nuclear glader.
Yu-71 is able not only to apply nuclear strikes on the enemy. Due to the presence of a powerful ultra-modern radio electronic combat system, the helper is capable of a few minutes, flying in the United States, to failure all the detection stations equipped with radio electronic equipment.
If you believe the reports of NATO, from 2020 to 2025, up to 24 U-71 type devices may appear in the Russian army, any of which is capable of crossing the enemy border and destroy the whole city with several shots.
Russian hyperorant development plans
Although in Russia on the issue of weaponing Yu-71, no official statements are made, it is known that the development has begun at least in 2009. In 2004, a statement was announced that the spacecraft, which was able to develop hypersonic speed, successfully passed the test. It is also known that the test device is capable of not only to fly at the specified course, but also to make various maneuvers in flight.
The key feature of the new weapon will be precisely this possibility of making maneuvers on supersonic speeds. Dr. Military Sciences Konstantin Sivkov argues that modern intercontinental missiles are able to develop supersonic speed, although they act only as ballistic warheads. The trajectory of these rocket data is easy to calculate and prevent. The main danger to the enemy is precisely managed aircraft, which are able to change the direction of movement and move on the complex and unpredictable trajectory.
At a meeting of the Military Industrial Commission, which was held in Tula on September 19, 2012, Dmitry Rogozin made a statement that the emergence of a new holding should be expected, which would undertake all aspects of the development of hypersonic technologies. Also at this conference were called enterprises that should be included in the new holding:
- "NGO Mechanical Engineering", which is now directly involved in the development of supersonic technologies. To create a holding, "NGO mechanical engineering" should exit Roscosmos;
- The next part of the new holding must be the Corporation "Tactical Rocket Arms";
- In the work of Holding, the Almaz-Antey concern also needs to actively help, the scope of whose activities is currently lies in the field of anti-missile and air-space sphere.
Although, according to Rogozin, this merger has long been necessary, due to some legal aspects, it has not yet been held. Rogozin stressed that this process is the merger, and not the absorption of one company another. It is this process that will significantly speed up the development of hypersonic technologies in the military field.
The director of the World Trade Analysis Center, the military expert and the Chairman of the Public Council under the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Igor Korutochko supports the merger ideas voiced by Rogosic. According to him, the new holding will be able to fully concentrate its efforts on the creation of new promising types of weapons. Since both enterprises have enormous opportunities, together they will be able to make a significant contribution to the development of the defense complex of Russia.
If by 2025 in service with Russia will consist not only hypersonic rockets, with nuclear warheads, but also glader Yu-71, it will be a serious application for negotiations with the United States. Due to the fact that America in all negotiations of this type got used to act from the position of force, dictating the second party only favorable conditions for themselves, full negotiations with it can be conducted, only possessing new powerful weapons. To force the United States to listen to the words of the opponent, it is only seriously frightened by the Pentagon.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at the "Army-2015" conference noted that the nuclear forces will receive 40 new intercontinental missiles. Many realized that they mean hypersonic rockets, which are able to overcome all known missile defense systems. The words of the President indirectly confirms Viktor Murakhovsky (member of the Expert Council under the Chairman of the Military Industrial Commission), saying that Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles are improved every year.
Russia leads the development of winged rockets that are able to fly on hypersonic speeds. These rockets are able to achieve goals on ultra-low altitudes. All modern control complexes that are in service with NATO are not able to hit targets flying at such low altitudes. In addition, all modern missile defense complexes are able to intercept the goals that fly at no more than 800 meters per second, so even if you do not count the Glader Y71, the supersonic Russian intercontinental missiles is enough to make NATO systems about useless.
According to the latest data, it is known that the United States and China also develop their analogue Yu-71, only Chinese development can make real competition to Russian development. Americans, to their deepest grief, until they managed to achieve serious success in this area.
Chinese glader is known as Wu-14. This unit was officially tested only in 2012, but as a result of the test data, it was able to develop a speed of over 11,000 km / h. Although the high-speed quality of Chinese development is known to the general public, about the armament, which will be equipped with the Chinese glader, there is not a word anywhere.
The American supersonic drone Falcon HTV-2, who passed tests a few years ago, suffered a crushing fiasco - just lost control and crashed after 10 minutes of flight.
If the supersonic weapon becomes the standard weapon of Russian cosmic forces, then the entire system of pro will become almost useless. The introduction of supersonic technologies will produce a real revolution in the military sphere around the world.
The Cold War, which took place between the United States and the USSR in 1946-1991, has long over. At least many experts think so. However, the arms race did not stop for a minute, and even today it is in the stage of active development. Despite the fact that today the main threats for the country are terrorist groups, relations between world powers are also intense. All this creates conditions for the development of military technologies, one of which is a hypersonic aircraft.
Necessity
Relations between the United States and Russia are greatly aggravated. And although at the official level of the United States in Russia, they call the affiliate country, many political and military experts argue that there is a secret war between the countries not only on the political front, and but also on the military in the form of a racing of weapons. In addition, the United States actively applies NATO for the environment of Russia with its own systems.
This may not disturb the leadership of Russia, which has already long launched a long-term drone aircraft, superior to hypersonic speed. These drones can be equipped with a nuclear warhead, and they will freely be able to deliver a bomb to anywhere in the world, and quite quickly. A similar hypersonic aircraft has already been created - this is the "Yu-71" liner, which is tested today in strict secrecy.
The development of hypersonic weapons
For the first time testing aircraft that could fly at the speed of sound, began in the 50s of the 20th century. Then it was still associated with the so-called Cold War, when two developed powers (USSR and the USA) sought to overtake each other in the arms race. The first project was the "Spiral" system, which was a compact orbital aircraft. He had to compete and even surpass the US Hypersonic Airplane X-20 DYNA SOAR. Also, the Soviet aircraft was supposed to have the ability to develop speed up to 7000 km / h and at the same time not to fall apart in the atmosphere during overloads.
And although Soviet scientists and designers tried to bring to life a similar idea, could not even approach the cherished characteristics. The prototype did not even take off, but the Government of the USSR reliefly sighed when the American aircraft also failed during the tests. Technology of that time, including in the aircraft industry, were infinitely far from the current, therefore the creation of an aircraft, which could several times to exceed the speed of sound, was doomed to failure.
However, in 1991, a test of an aircraft was conducted, which could develop a speed exceeding sound speed. It was the Flying Laboratory "Cold", created on the basis of the 5V28 rocket. The test was successful, and then the plane was able to develop a speed of 1900 km / h. Despite the presence of progress, the development after 1998 has ceased due to the economic crisis.
Technologies of the 21st century
There is no accurate and official information on the development of hypersonic aircraft. However, if you collect materials from open sources, we can conclude that such developments were carried out immediately in several directions:
- Creating combat units for intercontinental ballistic missiles. Their mass exceeded the mass of standard missiles, but due to the possibility of maneuvering in the atmosphere, it is impossible to intercept their means or, at a minimum, extremely difficult.
- Development of a complex "Zircon" - another direction of development of technology, which is based on the use of supersonic ORKHONT.
- Creating a complex whose rockets may exceed the sound speed of 13 times.
If all these projects are combined in one holding, the joint efforts can be created a rocket of air, terrestrial or ship-base. If the Prompt Global Strike project, created in the United States, will be successful, then the Americans will have the opportunity to hit any point in the world for one hour. Russia will be able to defend only the technologies of its own development.
American and British specialists record tests of supersonic missiles that can develop speeds up to 11200 km / h. Taking into account such high speed, it is almost impossible to knock them down (no about in the world is capable of). Moreover, they are even leaving is extremely difficult. Information about the project, which sometimes appears under the name "Yu-71", very little.
What is known about the Russian hypersonic aircraft "Yu-71"?
With the fact that the project is classified, there is very little information about it. It is known that this glader is part of a rocket supersonic program, and in theory it is capable of flying to New York in 40 minutes. Of course, this information does not have official confirmation and exists at the level of guesses and rumors. But taking into account the fact that Russian supersonic rockets can reach a speed of 11,200 km / h, such conclusions seem to be quite logical.
For different sources, the hypersonic aircraft "Yu-71":
- It has high maneuverability.
- Can plan.
- Created to develop speed over 11,000 km / h.
- Can go into space when flying.
Applications
At the moment, the tests of the hypersonic aircraft of Russia "Yu-71" are not finished yet. However, some experts argue that by 2025 Russia may receive this supersonic glader, and it can be equipped with nuclear weapons. A similar aircraft will be put up for weapons, and in theory it will be capable of putting a point nuclear strike for just one hour at any point of the planet.
The representative of Russia at NATO Dmitry Rogozin said that the once most developed and advanced industry of the USSR lagged behind the arms race over the past decades. However, quite recently, the army began to revive. Outdated Soviet technique is replaced by new examples of Russian developments. In addition, stuck in the 90s in the form of projects on the paper weapons of the fifth generation acquires visible outlines. According to politics, new samples of Russian weapons may surprise the world unpredictable. It is likely that Rogozin refers to the new hypersonic aircraft "Yu-71", which can carry a nuclear warhead.
It is believed that the development of this aircraft began in 2010, but in the United States learned about him only in 2015. If information on its technical characteristics is true, then the Pentagon will have to solve a complex task, since they will not be able to provide in Europe and on their territory. Countering a similar plane. In addition, the United States and many other countries will be simply defenseless in front of such weapons.
Other functions
In addition to the possibility of applying nuclear strikes on the enemy, the glader thanks to the powerful modern equipment of the radio-electronic combat will be able to exploration, as well as disabling the device equipped with radio-electronic equipment.
If you believe the reports of NATO, approximately from 2020 to 2025, up to 24 such aircraft may appear in the Army of the Russian Federation, which will unnoticate the border and just a few shots to destroy the whole city.
Development plans
Of course, there is no data regarding the adoption of the weapon of the prospective aircraft "Yu-71", but it is known that it is developed since 2009. At the same time, the device will be able not only to fly in a straight trajectory, but also maneuver.
It is maneuverability on hypersonic speeds will be a feature of the aircraft. Dr. Konstantin Sivkov claims that intercontinental rockets can develop supersonic speed, but at the same time they act as ordinary ballistic warheads. Therefore, their trajectory of flight is easily calculated, which makes it possible to knock on them. But managed aircraft constitute a serious threat to the enemy, since their trajectory is unpredictable. Therefore, it is impossible to determine which point the bomb will be thrown out, and since it is impossible to determine the discharge point, then the trajectory of the falling warhead is not calculated.
In Tula on September 19, 2012, at a meeting of the military-industrial commission, Dmitry Rogozin said that soon the new holding should be created, the task of which would be to develop hyper-duty technologies. Immediately enterprises were named, which will be part of the holding:
- "Tactical rocket arms."
- "NPO engineering". At the moment, the company is developing supersonic technologies, but at the moment the company is located as part of the structure of Roscosmos.
- The following member of the holding must be the Almaz-Antey concern, which is currently engaged in the development of technologies of the air-space and anti-missile industry.
Rogozin believes that such a merger is necessary, however, legal aspects do not allow it to take place. It is also noted that the creation of the Holding does not imply the absorption of one company another. These are the merging and joint work of all enterprises, which will speed up the process of the development of hypersonic technologies.
The Chairman of the Council under the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Igor Korutochko also supports the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a holding that would develop hyper-and-operative technologies. According to him, the new holding is really necessary, because it will help to direct all the efforts to create a promising type of weapons. Both companies have great opportunities, but separately they will not be able to achieve those results that are possible when combining efforts. It is together together they will be able to contribute to the development of the defense complex of the Russian Federation and create the fastest aircraft in the world whose speed exceeds expectations.
Weapons as a tool of political struggle
If by 2025, not only hypersonic rockets with nuclear warheads will be in service, but also the Glader "Yu-71", it will seriously strengthen the political positions of Russia during the negotiations with the United States. And it is completely logical, because all countries in the course of negotiations act from the position of force, dictating the opposite side of the conditions beneficial to it. Equal negotiations between the two countries are possible only in the presence of powerful weapons from both sides.
Vladimir Putin, during the speech at the Conference "Army-2015", stated that nuclear forces receive new intercontinental missiles in the amount of 40 pieces. It was precisely hypersonic rockets, and they can at the moment to overcome existing systems. The member of the Expert Council of the Military Industrial Commission, Viktor Murakhovsky confirms that the ICBM is improved every year.
Russia also conducts tests and development of new winged rockets that are able to fly on hypersonic speeds. They can approach the targets on ultra-low altitudes, which makes them practically imperceptible to radar. Moreover, modern NATO-armed complexes cannot affect similar rockets due to low flight height. In addition, in theory, they are able to intercept the goals moving at speeds of up to 800 meters per second, and the speed of the aircraft "Yu-71" and the winged missiles is much higher. This makes the NATO system almost useless.
Projects of other countries
It is known that China and the United States are also developing an analogue to the Russian hypersonic aircraft. The characteristics of opponents models are still unclear, but it can be considered that Chinese development is able to compete with the Russian aircraft.
The Chinese aircraft known called Wu-14 was tested in 2012, and then he was able to develop a speed of over 11,000 km / h. However, about armament, which is capable of carrying this unit, does not say anywhere.
As for the American drone Falcon HTV-2, he was tested several years ago, but for 10 minutes he crashed. However, the hypersonic aircraft of the X-43a was tested before him, which were engaged in NASA engineers. During the test, he showed a fantastic speed - 11,200 km / h, which exceeds the speed of the sound at 9.6 times. An experienced sample was tested in 2001, but then during the tests it was destroyed due to the fact that he came out of control. But in 2004 the device was successfully tested.
Such tests by Russia, China and the United States question the effectiveness of modern systems about. The introduction of hypersonic technologies in the military-industrial industry today produces a real revolution in the military world.
Conclusion
Of course, the military-technical development of Russia cannot but rejoice, and the presence of such an airplane for the arms of the army is a big step in improving the country's defense capability, but it is stupid to believe that other world powers do not attempt in the development of such technologies.
Even today, with free access to information via the Internet, we know very little about the promising development of domestic weapons, and the description "Yu-71" is known only by rumors. Consequently, we can not know which technologies are now being developed in other countries, including China and the United States. The active development of technologies in the 21st century allows you to quickly invent new types of fuel and apply unfamiliar technical and technological techniques, so the development of aircraft, including the military, is very fast.
It is worth noting that the development of technologies that allow the speed of the aircraft exceeding 10 times the speed of sound will be reflected not only in the military, but also the civilian sphere. In particular, such well-known manufacturers of liners as Airbus or Boeing have already declared the possibility of creating hypersonic aircraft for the implementation of passenger air transport. Of course, such projects have so far only in the plans, but the probability of developing such aircraft today is quite large.
This super-secret aircraft, limited information about which began to appear in the press entitled Yu-71, is part of the project 4202 associated with the domestic missile program. Of the more or less reliable information about it: it is able to develop the speed of over 11 thousand kilometers per hour, has super-supersonality, uses the planning type of flight (hence the name of the head) and is capable of maneuvering to enter the near space. Tests are still ongoing, but their results allow talk about the undoubted success of Russian technical thought. It is assumed that by 2025, Russia, through this new type of weapons, will receive a powerful nuclear trump card in the negotiations from the United States. "The arms race at the end of the last century allowed our country to essentially augt NATO countries in the military-technical plan and create a fourth generation weapon," says "Defense »Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin. - The fifth generation, we are objective, for a number of understandable reasons related to the collapse of the Soviet Union, stuck at the level of the design bureau. The current task of the military-industrial complex - not only to catch up and bring to mind the weapon of the fifth generation, but also take a step into the future - work now over the sixth and seventh generations of weapons. And such developments, notice, very successful, already exist. This is completely new, sometimes unpredictable weapons. "Dmitry Olegovich did not name specific developments, limited himself only by the directions of technical development, but it, of course, meant the hypersonic aircraft, capable of carrying a nuclear combat part - Yu-71. Survey developed this device capable It is guaranteed to hit the target of one rocket, several years, while conducting several successful tests. But information leakage occurred only in February 2015. The generals in the Pentagon were not just upset, but also came to complete despondency: this Russian "argument" does not simply cross all the plans to create a system about around the perimeter of Russia, but also the United States makes absolutely defenseless. In the technical capabilities of Yu-71 not only instant and deadly blows. The hypersonic apparatus, equipped with the RES system (Radioelectronic Fight), is able to cross the United States in its way all the radio electronic detection stations.
According to NATO, up to 24 hypersonic aircraft can be deployed from 2020 to 2025 in one of the regiments of the 13th RVSN Rocket Division (Orenburg region), presumably in the village of Dombarovsky. And let's say, to Washington Yu-71 is able to fly in 45-50 minutes, to New York - for 40, to London - for 20. None detect, it is impossible to knock down these devices. There is a serious reason for disorder! In Russia itself, plans for weaponing facilities 4202 were not voiced. However, from open sources it is known that the development of devices is carried out "NPO engineering" (near Moscow City Reutov) and it has begun until 2009. The Formal Customer of OCD 4202 is the Federal Space Agency of Russia, but also the Ministry of Defense shows an increased interest. At least, in the General Staff in 2004, it was tested that the spacecraft was tested, able to fly with hypersonic speed, while maneuvers, both at the rate and height. "Even the current combat blocks of domestic intercontinental ballistic missiles on a passive site are developing Hyperzvuk, says Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Rocket and Artillery Sciences (Raran) Dr. Military Sciences Konstantin Sivkov. - However, the difference between the promising hypersonic combat part, most likely lies in the fact that it acts not just as a ballistic warhead, but it goes on a rather difficult path, that is, maneuver, as an airplane with a huge flight speed. "And if Russian RVSN by 2025 They will really accept rocket with hypersonic combat parts, it will be a serious application. Already in America and Europe, Russian hypersonic devices call the new viscos of Moscow at negotiations with Washington. They are experiented in vain: As practice shows, the United States can be satisfied with the negotiating table only in one way - to put into service the systems that will make the Pentagon are seriously frightened. "It's no secret that combat equipment, the payload of our ICBM is continuously improving, - says Member of the Expert Council The chairman of the military-industrial commission under the Government of the Russian Federation Viktor Murakhovsky. - And when President Vladimir Putin, speaking at the Forum "Army-2015", said that this year the composition of nuclear forces will replenish more than 40 new intercontinental missiles, they all paid attention to this figure, but somehow they missed the continuation of the phrase: "which They will be able to overcome any, even the most technically perfect systems of pro. " It is no secret that in Russia there are also the development of hypersonic winged missiles, which reach targets at low altitudes. To hit them even promising systems about almost impossible, because it is essentially aerodynamic goals. In addition, modern complexes of missile defense have limits for targeting targets: interception is possible only within 700-800 meters per second. Plus, the anti-cancer must have overload maneuvering capabilities. And such in NATO still does not exist. Developments similar to our hypersonic apparatus Yu-71 are conducted in China and the United States. At the same time, experts believe that only Chinese development called Wu-14 can be a serious rival in the Russian hypersonic glader. This is also a planning apparatus, the truth has been tested only once - in 2012. It turned out that, like the Russian glader, the Chinese was able to maneuver with a supersonic speed of 11 thousand kilometers per hour. It is not known, however, what a weapon is capable of carrying a Chinese apparatus. And here the results of American designers are much more modest Russian and Chinese. A few years ago, the hypersonic drone Falcon HTV-2 during the tests simply lost control on the 10th minute of the flight and crashed.

In Russia, the second tests of the hypersonic aircraft (IC) were successfully held in the current year, intended for equipping existing and promising intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBD), the source familiar with the situation reported on Friday.
"The goal of the start - the next test of the hypersonic combat unit intended for equipping the promising ICBM" Sarmat ""
"Start was implemented on October 25 in the Orenburg region from the positional district of the Dombarovsky compound of the Rocket forces of Strategic Appointment (RVSN). The goal of the start-up is the next test of the hypersonic combat unit intended for equipping the promising ICBM" Sarmat "," said the agency's interlocutor.
According to him, "tests were successful."
"Previous successful tests took place in April of this year. Thus, this is the second fully successful start of the hypersonic block, which in the press the name" Object 4202 ", said the agency's interlocutor.
He clarified that a promising hypersonic aircraft (IC) is able to fly at six moss speed. One max corresponds to sound speed - approximately 300 meters per second or 1 thousand 224 km / h. () The chap was tested by a start (on Western classification - "Stiletto"), explained the source.
Earlier it was reported that in Russia, the design work (OCD) under the sector "4202" on the development and creation of an head, intended for guaranteed overcoming existing and promising systems of pro. This OCR is conducting NGOs of mechanical engineering from near Moscow Reutov.
An expert in the field of rocket technology has previously reported "Interfax-Avn" that "if Russia has an aircraft, which has already gained fame as" object 4202 ", capable of hypersonic velocity to make tanging maneuvers (vertical plane) and lying (horizontal plane) Our country will be able to solve the task of guaranteed overcoming any promising system. "
According to him, the promising Russian hypersonic aircraft "will allow you to level the combat potential of the US global missile defense and, in fact, will make it meaningless."
Technical reference
Russia will be able to limit the effectiveness of the US system with the help of a hypersonic aircraft Yu-71, whose tests are currently being conducted, writes American edition of Washington Times. A new weapon will be able to carry a nuclear charge at a speed of 10 times higher than the speed of the sound.

In the setting of strictest secrecy, Russia is experiencing a new hypersonic maneuvering aircraft Yu-71, which will be able to carry nuclear warheads at a speed of 10 times higher than the speed of sound, the American edition of Washington Times reports. The Kremlin develops similar devices to overcome the US missile defense, with reference to the newspaper notes the items. () Yu-71 (YU-71) was in development for several years. The last tests of the aircraft took place in February 2015. Start took place from the "Dombarovsky" landfill under Orenburg. Previously, it was purely presumably reported on other Western sources, now this start is confirmed by new analysts. The publication refers to the report released in June of the famous Western Military Analytical Center Jane's.
Earlier in open sources, this designation - YU-71 - did not appear.

As the Washingtonfree Beacon writes, the aircraft is part of the secret Russian project with the creation of a certain object 4202. Analysts argue that the February launch was made using the UTTK UTC rocket, in which the object 4202 served as the head part, and was unsuccessful.
Perhaps, under such an index, the modifications of hyper-sound maneuvering nuclear warheads are designated, which have been equipped with Russian ICBMs for several years. These blocks after separation from the carrier missile are capable of changing the flight path in height and the course and both the result is successfully bypassed both the current and promising systems for.
This will give Russia the opportunity to apply high-precision blows on the selected goals, and in combination with the possibilities of the missile defense system, Moscow will be able to successfully affect only one rocket.
24 hypersonic aircraft with nuclear warheads will be placed at the Dombarovsky polygon from 2020 to 2025, confident in the Jane's Information Group Military Analytical Center. By the time Moscow will have a new intercontinental ballistic missile, capable of carrying Yu-71, writes the publication.
The speed of hypersonic aircraft reaches 11,200 km / h, and unpredictable maneuverability makes the task of their bearing with almost impracticable, emphasizes Washington Times.
