Can we have a thread for all types of orbital/suborbital weapons such as ICBM's and kinetic bombardment weapons?

Here is Yars (Yars-M? Yars was supposed to be single warhead?) ICBM with Project Avangard (Bus less system) but not using Object 4202 HGV.

Why do you sausage-suckers have such a hardon for something that hasn’t even been prototyped yet?
William Collins
Joshua Clark
Because China already has them just not in public sight because of American Muh STERT Treaty bullshit.

What's not to like?

Owen Gomez
>Course changes to prevent intercept during the boost phase
Is that really necessary? Could the US, or Russia even intercept each others missile in the first place?
Grayson Davis
Yes, China can. Chinese supercomputers can compute ballistic trajectory so it can send anti ballistic missile to ballistic missile's location before it can reach apogee or bus release phase. Missiles going up is slower than missiles going down, that was an ingenius result of Chinese research putting them in front of ABM development. By wobbling, Chinese missiles can confuse inferior Russian and American computers of the real location of ballistic apogee. Also by using non bus system, Chinese missiles remove the most defenseless part of ballistic missiles where they slow down to compute and aim before release of warhead one by one. Instead by putting engines on all warheads, they can compute for themselves where they are going. I know it is Russian webm but it is an inferior copy of Chinese capability.

Sure.
>orbital/suborbital weapons such as ICBM's
ICBMs are ballistic missiles, user.
>and kinetic bombardment weapons
This is not a thing and will never be a thing. The idea is retarded and works neither on paper nor in real life. You should feel bad for bringing this up.

>What's not to like?
The inefficiency of spending trillions on something that will give out 30 tonnes of TNT equivalent worth of boom.
Jaxon Sullivan
what is that bit that flys off to the left once it leaves the silo?
why bother?
Jonathan Richardson
Heavy solid fuel booster, it's only used to pop the missile out of the silo where can use a more volatile liquid fuel. It's because there's more chance of a catastrophic failure if you use the liquid fuel inside the silo.
Also you don't need it after it's used so its better to discard it after use. Also it's heavy anyway.
Noah Garcia

Christian Gray
Of course a vatnik design spews nitric acid all over the top of the silo
Cooper Price
I really want to see ICBM launched from space stations but the logistic and maintenance would kill it so hard.
Anyway is the Trident 2 still the best SLBM?
Jason Morales
It's called a "cold launch" any time the missile's first stage engine isn't used to leave the silo. Not unique to liquids, Peacekeeper (all solids) used it,
Really saves on damage to the silo and the extra exhaust routing required.
Colton Perez
Trident D5 + W76-1/Mk4A is GOAT. No wonder the Russians are peddling desperate wunderwaffe nuclear drones

Every body knows its a cold launch but saying its a cold launch doesn't necessarily answers he's questions.
Aiden Evans
wait until the V-Tec kicks in, yo

Question asker here
That makes perfect sense, I didn't think about using the more powerful engine in the silo and how it would affect it and cause damage.
cheers for replies x
Jonathan Brooks
Wouldn't you have to be incredibly close to hope to intercept a missile in it's boost phase? Like, THAAD in Korea threatening Russian and Chinese missiles close? I think that would have more to do with China and Russia developing a way to try and counter boost phase interception, being the only ones for whom it is a real problem
Jordan Parker
The good stuff is in phase conjugation and condensed matter physics. The big triangles are supposedly powered by a fast rotating Bose-Einstein condesate. The first was using superfluidity Helium-4, but there are other better ones that can be trapped in as a quantum fluid in a optical lattice.
Drive technology is currently pushed into the open field and drive technology research is ongoing. There is the occasional reference to "New potential asset" in some databases. These seem to refer to new craft being observed.
The basics though pertain to an albecurrie drive system, not necessarily gravitational in nature, but a modification of the spacetime field to a limited extent. This is buried in supposition about em band emissions and spectral observation. I don't know the chemistry well enough. But it seemed to refer to a variant on plasma manifolds, only using a more practical exhaust system to vector thrust.
I have no fucking clue what that's supposed to mean either.
Christopher Turner
9/10ths of what I stumbled through was basically little segments of certain larger reports and intelligence briefs.
Some materials can maintain Superfluidity and superconductivity in a single phase state (like Helium-4, metallic hydorgen). Spinning it fast enough (by laser for instance) can result in a Mach Effect shield that decouples the inertia of the craft from the rest of space. It is not anti-gravity per session, but inertial reduction through evoked negative energy states. We use the tricks learned from BECs in electromagnetic and optical lattice traps for other fun stuff too, like phase conjugate lasers (beam correction, non-linear optical mirrors) and quantum computation/co-location applications. Along that line, there is allegedly a highly secret weapons system that utlilizes some of these principals with positiron beams. High energy electron beam strips positrons from Target material, injects them into BEC in spin triplet state. Microwaves are used to modulate positronium created back down to ground state for annihilation inside BEC, creating high energy gamma photons. Another lower power laser (Argon, Krypton) passed through the material to create a phase conjugate entangled beam. This is shuttled around via quantum repeaters buried in MilSats to it's intended target on the ground. Because a property of phase conjugation in a non-linear medium, your able to time-reverse the laser and rebuild the photons back into the pre-annhilation state. Microwaves are then used to send the fun stuff down to it's final target. This was tested in 2004 at Dugway, used in combat on the NK nuclear facilities in Ryangang and some in Desert Storm. It even has a name: Proteus (not the Scaled Composites plane).
The U.S. has multiple deep science research projects which use skunk works as a cover. The main development happens at individual sites scattered across the country and are done by regular contracting companies

looks goofy af, ive seen ion engines fire (civilian manufactured radio thrusters) and you really cant tell that they're turned on.
Matthew Gonzalez
Or putting missiles in Poland to counter Iranian missiles. But probably the main ones would be ship launched or plane launched anti ballistic missiles and yes you need to be close to shoot it down unless you are willing to use a nuke to take down a nuke.
Connor Myers
Would effective would it actually be to destroy the enemy's satellite and GPS systems using anti satellite missiles or perhaps something like the rocket shotgun i had in mind (a missiles that heads into orbit and then releases it's payload, a nice amount of small missiles targeting enemy satellites)?
And yes I know, the resulting amount of satellite fragments would wreck havoc on all other satellites in orbit.

The only space-based weapon worth its salt would be something that can destroy or capture satellites or other spacecraft, most likely. A spaceplane would perhaps make the most sense here, though more akin to the old Mig Spiral and less an X-Wing.
Landon Russell
East and West really looks different.
Impressive that China was able to mold both into 1 superior technological entity.
