유도탄 토폴 ICBM 퇴역

[위종민]

 토폴(SS25 식클)이 모두 퇴역하고 RS-24 Yars로 대체됐다고 합니다. 일부는 민간용도로 전환돼 LEO 페이로드 500kg 가량인 Start-1 로켓으로 쓰일 예정이라고 하네요. 

토폴은 99년에 10개 사단에 360발이 분산배치돼 있었다고 합니다.

The Russian Strategic Missile Force Commander, Colonel General Sergey Karakayev, has confirmed the retirement of the Topol intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) from the Russian Armed Forces.

General Karakayev’s statement highlighted the completion of the rearming process by the Yars mobile ground-based missile systems. He emphasized the decommissioning of the Topol missile complex, signaling the end of an era for this intercontinental-range, solid-propellant ballistic missile system. Karakayev added that efforts also involved enhancing the silo-based group, notably increasing the number of missile complexes entering combat alert duty in the Kozelsky missile formation in the Kaluga Region.

The Topol, known by its NATO designation SS-25 “Sickle,” was a cornerstone of Russia’s strategic defense arsenal, boasting a range of over 11,000 km. Developed based on its predecessors, the Temp-2S and Pioneer road-mobile missiles, the Topol system has been a significant component of Russia’s nuclear deterrence capabilities.

The replacement for the Topol missiles comes in the form of the Yars intercontinental ballistic missile, equipped with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) warheads.

Some of the retired Topol ICBMs are slated for reuse in civilian capacities as Start-1 carrier rockets. Chief Designer of the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology, Yuri Solomonov, indicated plans to potentially repurpose these missiles for launches within the Start-1 carrier rocket program. This reconfiguration could potentially serve two programs focused on developing clusters of small-size satellites, exploiting the convenience of Start-1 rockets as launch vehicles.

The Start-1, a light-class solid-propellant carrier rocket derived from the Topol ICBM, has a lift-off weight of 47 tonnes and the capability to deliver payloads exceeding 500 kg to low Earth orbit. Previously, Russia conducted seven Start rocket launches from the spaceports of Plesetsk and Svobodny (currently Vostochny) between 1993 and 2006.

In 1999, open sources reported the presence of 360 Topol launching systems distributed across ten divisions within the Russian strategic missile forces.

앗 그 돈으로 ICBM 유지했었나용?
