Lightning strike: Moscow is ready to disarm Washington
Race technology
"Usually supersonic winged rockets fly at 2-3 Mach speed," says Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Nikolay Grigoriev. - We want our devices to fly at a speed of more than 6 masks. In this case, this flight should be long. At least 7-10 minutes, for which the device must independently develop the speed in more than one and a half thousand meters per second. "
The first hypersonic apparatus was created in the USSR at the end of the 70s of the last century. In 1997, the designers of the Dubninsky ICD Raduga showed it for the first time. It was introduced as a new class system - a hypersonic experimental aircraft (GALE) X-90. In the west it was called AS-19 Koala. According to the enterprise, the rocket flew to the distance up to 3 thousand km. There were two individual guidance warheads that can hit targets at a distance of 100 km from the separation point. The H-90 carrier could be an extended version of the Tu-160m strategic bomber.
In the early 90s of the last century, the ICD held working together with German engineers on the problem of hypersonic on the basis of another rocket X-22 "storm"(according to classification - AS-4 Kitchen ("Kitchen"). This supersonic wake of the rocket is part of the standard weapon of the Tu-22M3 long-range bombard. Can fly by 600 km and carry thermonuclear or ordinary combat part Weight B. 1 ton. The rocket is designed to destroy US aircraft carriers. During the experiment, with additional accelerating blocks installed on the missile, the car was displayed to the hypersonic flight mode.
In addition, as reminds GrigorievThe spacecraft of reusable was created in "Buran"which at the entrance to the dense layers of the atmosphere developed speed in 25 Makhov. Today, according to the expert, the task is to make such a flight active, that is, the car should not just "plan", but to independently develop and maintain such speed, change the direction of flight.
From "Koala" to "Yarsa"
Tests of hypersonic devices - mystery for seven seals. To judge how things are with their development, you can only report Americans about success or failure during certain testing launches. They spent the last such experiment in August. Start Rocket X-43A. It was produced from the Prodiak Polygon on. The rocket was developed as a joint project of the American army and laboratory Sandia National As part of the concept of "fast global strike" Her first test occurred in November 2011. It was assumed that during the current tests of the rocket, gaining a speed of about 6.5 thousand km / h, will strike a training goal at the Pacific Athlep of Kwajalyin. As a result, the device worked everything 7 seconds Before burned in the atmosphere. Nevertheless, they called this flight successful - the car demonstrated the ability to dial the required acceleration.
Sovetskaya X-90, which at least something is known for anything, flew further and longer. As constructors say, the machine quickly heated from air resistance, which destroyed the device or led to the mechanisms inside the housing. To achieve a hypersonic, the direct-flow reactive rocket engine required or at least fuel consisting of a large extent of hydrogen. And this is extremely difficult to implement technically, since hydrogen gas has a low density. Storage of liquid hydrogen created other irresistible technical difficulties. And finally, during the hypersonic flight around X-90 arose plasma cloudwhich burned radioantenna, which led to the loss of controllability by the device.
However, these shortcomings eventually turned into dignity. The problem of cooling the body and hydrogen fuel was solved by the fact that a mixture of kerosene and water was used as its components. After heating, it was supplied to a special catalytic mini-reactor, in which the endothermic reaction of the catalytic conversion was held, as a result of which hydrogen fuel was produced. This process led to a strong cooling of the body of the apparatus. No less original was solved the problem of the burning of the radio antenna, which began to use itself plasma cloud.
At the same time, the plasma cloud allowed the device not only to move in an atmosphere at speeds. 5 km per secondBut and do it with "broken" trajectories. The car could dramatically change the direction of flight. In addition, the plasma cloud also created the effect of invisibility Apparatus for radar. X-90 Not admitted, working on the rocket was suspended in 1992.
But the principles of its work are very similar to the description of the actions of the maneuvering nuclear warheads of ballistic missiles "Topol M", "Yar" and new RS-26. The Ministry of Defense has repeatedly led them as an example of overcoming any system. A maneuvering unit can be "wilt" to any second, unpredictably changing the direction of flight, which is guaranteed to defeat the target. No NPR system is capable of calculating such a trajectory and bring the anti-missile block to the attacking unit.
Battle "WKONOS"
Last year, the Ministry of Defense reported that the hypersonic weapons would be equipped, first of all, far aviation aircraft. At that time, the rockets already existed, however, their flight on hypersonic It continued only a few seconds. This was repeatedly stated by the Deputy Prime Minister. However, any specific details are neither the military, nor the deputy prime minister, nor representatives of the industry have given.
About current successes in the creation of hypersonic aircraft It can be judged only by indirect features. For example, this summer Corporation "Tactical rocket arms"The Ministry of Defense and Minograntorg reported that they agreed to the program for creating hypersonic rocket technologies. More than 2 billion rubles will be invested in the development of promising equipment, and the first device will not appear later 2020. What will this be for the devices, what characteristics will have and for what purposes is not declared.
The fact that it was called, which is called, can be judged at least for the exhibition Max in the suburban. In 2011, the Central Institute of Aviation Motor Building from Lytkarino near Moscow demonstrated a number of promising hypersonic devices. At the booth of the institute, several layouts of promising missiles were exhibited, more similar to classic cigar-like rockets, and on the masterpiece of the Avanthairdist's sculptor, who took place in the prototum of the Australian animal of the Utonosa - a flattened shovel "nose" of the fairing, chopped forms of the rocket hull itself. Then the representative of the institute Vyacheslav Semenov Reported that in 2012 the Ministry of Defense will be presented with a fully affluent sample of a hypersonic winged rocket. This was also talked. WHAT Specifically, it was discussed - unknown. There were no official messages about a new rocket in print. However, repeatedly slipped the name of the promising complex "Zircon".
According to indirect features, its foundation includes a rocket, created on the basis of a supersonic anti-worm rocket "Yahont" and her Russian-Indian analogue "Bramos". Indian Brahmos Aerospace Limited Repeatedly announced work on creating a hypersonic version of its products. Demonstrated her layout all the same "WLOKOS". According to the employee of the company, the hyperzvukovka rocket is already experiencing. If so, that is, its analogue in Russia.
Russia has superoperable
More detailed and a variety of information about the events occurring in Russia in Ukraine and in other countries of our beautiful planet can be obtained on Internet conferences, permanently held on the website "Keys of Knowledge". All conferences are open and completely non-payable. We invite everyone interested. All conferences are broadcast on Internet radio "Revival" ...
Project "Status-6" / Photo: TOPWAR.RU
In the news releases, information about the secret project "Status-6" was inflated, powerful weapons new type designed in Russia. The fact that the information is truly secret, confirmed by the press secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov. And promised to take measures to not happen again. TV channels cut out of the plots from the military meeting at V. Putin frames with the tactical and technical characteristics of "status". And, while conspirologists argue, whether "draining" was random or intentional, the details of the "absolute weapons" are discussing in the military forums.
Picture: mikailme.cont.ws.
On the tablet, two submarines have been depicted in the tablet lens. In one identified atomic submarine in Severodvinsk special purpose Belgorod, to the other - the head of Khabarovsk, laid there in 2014. According to experts, the boats will become carriers of a giant torpedo with a nuclear reactor and thermonuclear warhead. In essence, a robotic submarine. The docking knot at the submarine is in the bottom, so it is impossible to see Noshu, neither sushi, nor from the satellite.
Torpedo running distance 10 thousand kilometers, dive depth kilometer, speed of about 90 knots. Representatives of the Pentagon admitted Washington Times that it is impossible to intercept the underwater apparatus with such characteristics. As the publication writes, Torpeda is designed to defeat the coastal zone of the USA by artificial tsunami, 500 meters high and radioactive coast contamination. The power of the warheads US experts were estimated at 100 megatons.
"According to Andrei Sakharov and other scientists, a wave is formed, which the US coast will reach the height of 400-500 or more than meters. Wrapped on the mainland, it will wash everything at a distance of more than 500 kilometers. In the coastal areas of the United States, having a minor excess above the ocean, there is a major part of the population - more than 80 percent. It also contains the main production capacity of the country, "explained the BBC corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Rocket and Artillery Sciences, Dr. Military Sciences, the captain of the first rank of Konstantin Sivkov.
The idea of \u200b\u200bthe giant torpedo with thermonuclear warhead is not Nova - it was still in the 40s offered to build academician Andrei Sakharov. The power of artificial tsunami, he planned to strengthen undermined off the coast of the United States thermonuclear deep bombs - the wave height in this case would achieve one and a half kilometers.
In the tablet from the meeting with the president, the appointment of "status" is described more specifically: "Applying guaranteed unacceptable damage to the enemy by creating areas of extensive radioactive pollution on the coast, unsuitable for human life for a long time." In open sources, only one weapon with suitable characteristics - a cobalt bomb described by one of the creators of the atomic Leo Sillard bomb.
The third shell of thermonuclear ammunition instead of uranium is made of cobalt. With a nuclear explosion, a powerful neutron flow turns the metal into the extremely radioactive isotope of cobalt-60 and the deadly dust dispels through the territory of the whole state. Cobalt half-life is five and a half years old, so it will not be possible to sit down in the bunkers.
The practical tests of the cobalt bomb was not conducted - due to the same strong radioactive contamination. According to the military, the ammunition of this type cannot serve as shock weapons - due to the risk, to destroy the entire biosphere of the planet (according to calculations, 510 tons of cobalt are enough for this). But may well become a containment tool.
According to Washington Times, the "status" torpedo will be ready in 2019 and will be tested along with the carrier boat.
In the conditions of stretched relations with the United States, their allies and satellites, the newest weapon of Russia becomes a guarantee of the security of the country and maintaining it state sovereignty. We will tell about the newest samples of nuclear missiles, tank, armor-piercing, rifle armament of the Russian army.
New nuclear weapons
The modernization of the RVSN is the most important task of the Russian leadership in the defense sphere, especially taking into account the aging of Soviet nuclear weapons, the close end of their expiration, the need to replace components previously supplied from Ukraine, where in February 2014 there was a coup, and seized the power of American puppets.
The task is successfully solved. What newest generation missiles are designed to replace the old?
RS-24 "Yar"
RS-24 is a three-stage intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on solid fuel, entered into service instead of PC-18 and RS-20A. The design of the rocket was engaged in the Moscow Institute of Heat Engineering (MIT). RS-24 is manufactured at the Votkin Machine-Building Plant, and the automatic launcher (APU) for the Yar Mobile Complex - on Barricades (Volgograd).
Flight Management RS-24 (the range reaches 12 thousand km) carry out the nozzles of the stages. The rocket is adjusted by the on-board electronic computing complex, taking into account data from GLONASS satellites. RS-24 is equipped with the latest complex overcoming the pro. Improvements touched and thermonuclear charge.
The large-scale supply of RVSN parts RS-24 missiles began in 2018, the first complexes "Yar" unfolded in December 2009 upon completion of numerous tests.
RS-26 "Rubezh"
RS-26 with a launch complex "Rubezh" was designed with an innovative approach to the design of the rocket engines and the control system. Rocket steps are equipped with engines on liquid fuel. The range is 6 thousand km. The assembly of the formidable novelty is carried out on the above-mentioned Mashesberry of the city of Votkinsk (Udmurtia).
RS-28 Sarmat (ICBM)
The design of the heavy ICBM of the new generation "Sarmat" RS-28 began in 2009. In front of the designers there was a challenge to develop as best change "Satan" (RS-20 "Voevoda").
In October 2012, the Russian defense department was generally approved by the project of new items. In 2014, the cooperation of enterprises was formed to the work on the manufacture of missiles (Krasnoyarsk Mashawne and Saillers), a sarmatical sample was built. In 2018, a series of tests of PC-28 was produced.
The new rocket complex has a unique ability - to deliver warheads to the goal of technology, which is difficult to reflect the impact of the impact even by the original means of pro. He is ready for the "orbital bombardment" of the United States and their allies with successful bypass of missile weapons through the South Pole.
It also provides for the use of combat blocks of Yu-71 warboards "Avangard", which increases the accuracy of the strike and makes it possible to destroy the strategic objects of the enemy kinetic energy Blocks even without a nuclear explosion.
Equipment with new ICBM military units Start in 2021.
BZHRK "Barguzin"
"Barguzin" - a combat railway rocket complex, the creation of which started in 2013. The newly commercial BZHRK is designed to replace the Soviet "missile trains", liquidated under the START-II treaty.
Barguzin was designed to install on wagons with launch complexes of RS-24 missiles described above. One composition is designed for six cars with the ICBM, which corresponds to one shelf rocket forces, and five compositions are equal to the Division of the RVSN.
In 2016, Barguzin successfully passed shifted tests. However, in December 2017 Russian newspaper"Reported the closure of the topic of the creation of BZHRK due to lack of funds on the simultaneous financing of the production of Barguzins and the Avangard mine basing complexes, which replaced trains in the state program of the weapons until 2027 (GPV-27).
R-30 (Bulava-30)
The solid fuel three-step rocket "Bulava-30" is intended for equipping submarines of the 955 Borea series and underwater cruisers TK-208 "Dmitry Donskoy". Its creation not only solved the problem of aging of the existing rocket complexes of submarines, but also increased the power of the marine component of the domestic "nuclear triad". In particular, the developers have successfully implemented a system overcoming about the enemy.
He began to develop "Mold" MIT in 1998. Serial production was launched in Votkinsk ten years later, and in 2018 the P-30 was adopted by the Navy of Russia.
The limit range "Bulava-30" reaches 11 thousand km. The starting weight of the rocket is 36.8 tons, the weight of the combat part is 1150 kg.
Samples of armor-piercing weapons
PRT "Cornet"
Anti-tank rocket complexes 9k135 "Cornet" and "Hermes" were created in the design office of instrument making (CBP) of the glorious city of gunsmiths and the city-hero Tula.
"Cornet", differing from anti-tank predecessors by the fact that the control of the Ptthi is made by the laser beam, and not on the wires, it is able to turn tanks and other armored vehicles into a pile of metal, even equipped with the latest protective agents. This was achieved by starting two missiles in one laser beam with a break less time of the protection of protection systems.
Modification called "Kornet-D" can also be used to damage air targets moving at a speed of up to 250 m / s, at a distance of up to 10 km and to the ceiling of 9 km. It should be added that in the last variations of Kornetov, the principle "shot and forgotten" is implemented.
RK "Hermes"
"Hermes", also perfectly copes with the destruction of armored vehicles, was originally developed as a multipurpose RK for all or at least most of the genera of troops. It is created in the form of several variations for a variety of basing:
- "Hermes" - ground launchers;
- "Hermes-A" (in the photo below) - for aviation, in particular, for Mi-28N and Ka-52 helicopters;
- "Hermes-K" - for equipping ships;
- "Hermes-C" is a stationary complex for coastal defense.
Also provided for the use of two-stage managed rockets "Hermes" with SPC RTK.
MGK "BUB"
MGK Drum - a small-sized grenade launcher with a reusable starting device and disposable shot. It was created by the Tula CBP based on the flamethrough RPO-M.
Pomegnet characteristics:

MGK "BU" for the first time submitted to the public on weapons exhibitions in 2010, and in 2014 he launched into mass production and entered the armament of the land forces of the Russian Federation.
New small arms
Machine Kalashnikova 15.
AK 15 is designed with the introduction innovative technologies. Implemented the opportunity to shoot Holding "Kalash" in one hand, bring it into a martial state for seeing moments. The three modes of shooting are introduced - the triple is added to automatic and solitary.
The universal blowing of the new AK allows the grenade to shoot various manufacturers' companies. The Kalash design includes picatini planks intended for attaching sights. Provided the possibility of replacing the telescopic butt plastic.
Other Important Improvements:
- bilateral placement of the shutter button with a mass displacement, which improved the part of the shooting;
- displacement of the shopping lever, made automata more comfortable;
- simplification of the device of standard butt;
- closing the slot for emissions of the sleeves;
- reducing the brakes bleak;

AK-15 launched into mass production in 2016. Today, he, along with AK-12, enjoys the greatest demand in the market. small arms CIS.
Two-seat automatic ADS
A two-case special ADS automatic machine is an unsurpassed new product, perfectly shooting and on land, and under water. Fruit versatility adds firing from the left or right shoulder.
The development of ADS, started in the Tula KBP, was completed in 2007, after which there was a thorough finishing on the test results. In 2013, the machine is approved for weapons and began to be delivered to the special division of the Russian Federation.
SVLK-14S.
Swallk-14C "Dusk" - ultra-precise, the most long-range sniper weapon in the world, who knows how to accurately affect the targets at a distance of 1.5-2 km and even up to 2.3 km. The rifle was created in 2012 by Vladislav Lobayev, produced under his personal brand "Lobaev Arms" both by order of the powerful departments of Russia and non-state buyers.
Sniper complex 6C8.
6C8 - a large-caliber sniper rifle, which is manufactured at the factory. Degtyarev. Entered in June 2013. It is intended for the lesion of light-organized and unarmented enemy technician, as well as openly located alive strength at a distance of 1.5 km caliber cartridges 12.7x108 mm.
T-5000 Orsis

The trigger is regulated by the effort of the descent and the free move of the juro. You can put a trigger of any geometry on the rifle. Shop capacity - five or ten ammunition.
New military equipment
T-14 "Armat"
T-14 - the world's first main combat tank (OTT) fourth generation. Created on the tracked platform of "Armat" by the designers-constructors in UBBTM, produced by the company "Uralvagonzavod". Began to be developed in 2009. In 2015, the first batch of tanks was made to the parade on Red Square on the day of the 70th anniversary of the victory in the Second World War. Serial release began in 2017.
In the design plan, the concept of the "Seetsentric War" is embodied, where T-14 plays the role of armored vehicles, target designation and adjustment of the fire of SAU, SPC and T-90 tanks from escorting their tactical link.
T-14 is equipped with the newest complexes active and dynamic protection - "Afghanit" and "Malachite", which:
- intercepted anti-tank shells;
- blinding the ptthi, preventing the tank lesion by shots from the FMR;
- reflect the shots from the RPG;
- destroy modern subcalacer anti-tank shells.
The crew is in the nose of the tank separately from the combat department, the T-14 tower is uninhabited. This solution means that in the case of a detonation of ammunition, the crew with a high probability remains alive. The uninhabited tower has a significant minus - the deterioration of tankers in what is happening on the battlefield.
Another feature of the T-14 is the presence of a radar station (radar) with a phased grille, which only the latest fighter aircraft was previously equipped.
Tank weapon:
- SUO (fire management system);
- smooth-bore gun 125-mm or 152-mm caliber with 45 shells;
- RK "Reflex-M" to start missiles through a barrel of 125-mm cannon or described above "Cornet, when using 152-mm gun;
- anti-aircraft machine gun "Cord" 12.7-mm;
- PKTM 7,62-mm.
Maximum speed T-14 - 90 km / h. The fuel tank is designed for overcoming without refueling 500 km.
"Coalition-SV"
At the "Seethentrical War", after the T-14, a saau moves along the battlefield in the distance, supporting the offensive of powerful arthogne. 152-Milmeter 2C35 "Coalition-SV", created by the engineers of the Tserestnik (Nizhny Novgorod), also participated in the Victory Parade, however, in the form of a small party of self-propeller on the T-90 chassis, although the mass production will go on the "Armat" platform .
Features saau:
- anti-Booking;
- laser irradiation warning sensors;
- grenade launchers for the formulation of chimneys
- automatic for 50-70 shots;
- 152 mm gun;
- anti-aircraft machine
- shooting various ammunition, including managed.
The Boezapas SAU has 90 shells, rapidity - 16 shots per minute, shooting range - up to 80 km.
T-15 "Kurganan" (TBMP)
T-15 "Kurgan" is a heavily-leaving BMP on the "Armat" platform with protective systems "Afghanit" and "Malachite", like a T-14 tank. The machine is equipped with a uninhabited combat module AU-220M, equipped with an automatic 57-mm gun, paired with a 7.62-mm machine gun, Cornet-EM FEDER and perfect SUO. The air defense system is capable of shooting down the drones and helicopters of the Apache class.
The crew "Kurgan", as the T-14 tank and SAU "Coalition-SV" consists of three people. Landing - out of nine.
Speed \u200b\u200bT-15 - up to 50 km by rough terrain.
And what new Russian weapons except those described here are known to you? And what do you think about newest weapons Russia, however is it superior to the American? Share opinions in the comments, we will be happy to discuss issues of interest to you.
If you have any questions - leave them in the comments under the article. We or our visitors will gladly respond to them
Next, we bring to your attention a list of unique weapons developed fascist Germany In anticipation and during World War II. Most of this super remedy was under development or was produced in such a small amounts that failed to influence the course of war.
Horten Ho IX.
Horten Ho IX - An experimental jet aircraft developed in Germany by Brothers Harden during World War II on the program received national title "1000-1000-1000" (aircraft carrying a bomb load of 1000 kg at a distance of 1000 kilometers at a speed of 1000 km / h). It is the first "flying wing" in the world on reactive traction. The first flight took place on March 1, 1944. In total, six copies were made, but only two were raised into the air. Horten Ho IX is included in the ranking of the most strange aircraft of the Second World War.
Landkreuzer P. 1000 "Ratte"
Landkreuzer P. 1000 "Ratte" ("Rat") - the designation of a superheassed tank with a mass of about 1000 tons, which was developed in Germany in 1942-1943 under the guidance of the Engineer Designer Edward Grotte. In 1942, this project was approved by Adolf Hitler, however, due to the lack of technologies and equipment for production, the program was canceled at the beginning of 1943 on the initiative of Albert Spear. As a result, a tank prototype was not built, the length of which would be 39 meters in drawings, the width is 14 meters, height - 11 m.
Dora
Dora - railway gun Calibrom 802 mm, which was used at the assault of Sevastopol in 1942 and suppressing the Warsaw uprising in September - October 1944. The project development began in the late 1930s at the request of Adolf Hitler. In 1941, the company "Krup" after the test was built the first instrument, named "Dora", in honor of the wife of the chief designer. In the same year, the second - "fat Gustav" was created. In the assembled form of the "Dora" weighed about 1350 tons, it could shoot from a barrel of 30 meters long, shells weighing 7 tons, 47 kilometers away. The size of the crater after the explosion of its projectile was 10 meters in diameter and the same in the depth. The gun was also able to punch the reinforced concrete with a thickness of 9 meters. In March 1945, Dorma was blown up.
Fow-3.
Fow-3 ("Multonozza", "hardworking lyschen") - a multi-mountain artillery tool developed at the end of the Second World War in order to destroy London and thereby revenge for the nourishes of the Allied Aviation to Germany. However, on July 6, 1944, when the tool was almost ready, three British bomber broke through German air defense and damaged Fow-3. The cannon complex suffered so much that he had not been recovered. This weapon was 124 m long, the weight is 76 tons. It had a caliber of 150 mm, and had a rapidity of up to 300 shots per hour. The weight of the projectile was 140 kg.
FX-1400 - German radio-controlled aviation bomb of the Second World War. Is the first in the world high-precision weapons. The bomb was developed since 1938 in Germany and was used since 1942 to destroy strongly armored goals, such as heavy cruisers and battleships. The main idea of \u200b\u200bthe project was that the FX-1400 was discharged by a bomber from a height of 6000-4000 m at a distance of about 5 km from the goal, which allowed the aircraft, is beyond the reach of the opponent's anti-aircraft fire. In total, about 1400 bombs were released, including trial models. Its length was 3.26 m, weight - 4570 kg.
Fow-2
Fow-2 - the world's first ballistic rocket, developed by the German designer Werner Background Brown. It was adopted by Germany at the end of World War II. The first launch of her took place in March 1942. The first battle start - September 8, 1944. A total of about 4,000 copies were made. Martial launches Rocket - 3225 mainly by goals in France, Great Britain and Belgium. The maximum flight speed of the FAu-2 missile was up to 1.7 km / s, the flight range reached 320 km. Rocket length - 14.3 m.
PanZerkampfwagen VIII "MAUS"
In the fourth place in the list of unique super-buildings of the Third Reich, Panzer VIII "MAUS" is a German superhalled tank, designed between 1942-1945 Ferdinand Porsche. He is most heavy tank (188.9 tons), of all ever built. A total of two copies were made, no participation in the battles took. Only one Mouse is preserved in the world, assembled from parts of both copies, which is now stored in the Armored Museum in Cuba, the Moscow region.
XXI submarines
Submarines of type XXI - a series of German diesel-electric submarines of times of the Second World War. Because of the late receipts, they did not affect the course of the war, but until the mid-50s had a significant impact on all post-war underwater shipbuilding. In the period from 1943 to 1945 in the shipyards of Hamburg, Bremen and Dankig, there were 118 boats of this type in the process of construction. Only two participated in the fighting.
Messerschmitt Me.262.
Messerschmitt ME.262 "Schwalbe" ("Swallow") is a multifunctional German jetting plane of the Second World War. It is the first serial jet fighter in history. Its design began in October 1938, he was commissioned in June 1944 and at that time largely exceeded traditional aircraft. For example, its speed was more than 800 km / h, which 150-300 km / h exceeded the speed of the fastest fighters and bombers. A total of 1433 "swallows" were produced.
Solar gun
Sun gun (Sun Gun) is a theoretical orbital weapon. In 1929, German physicist Herman wubbed developed a plan for creating space stationconsisting of 100 meter mirrors, which would be used to reflect the sunlight, and focused it on enemy technique or on any other object on Earth.
Later, during World War II, a group of German scientists on artillery polygons in Hillarsleben began creating a super-arrangement that could use the energy of the Sun. The so-called "solar tool" theoretically would be part of the space station located at an altitude of 8,200 km above the surface of the Earth. Scientists calculated that a huge reflector made from sodium, an area of \u200b\u200b9 square kilometers, could produce sufficient number Heat focused in order to burn the whole city. At the interrogation in the United States, German scientists argued that the solar cannon could be completed over the next 50-100 years.
