BMD Focus: What’s wrong with the Russian Bulava?

Posted by Matt in February 3rd, 2007

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 (UPI) — What has happened to the Bulava missile, the submarine-launched new star of Russia’s formidable strategic weapons arsenal?

Everything seemed to be shining on the Bulava. It had three successful test launches in a row. It was not some radical new design with untested technology but a mature adaptation of the already tried and tested Top-M intercontinental ballistic missile. It did not lack funds for development. With soaring global oil prices, the Russian government, as the world’s largest energy exporter, has been spending more money on upgrading and modernizing its strategic rocket forces than at any time in the past quarter century.

Then suddenly it all started to go wrong for the Bulava. Test ICBM launches failed three times in a row in a brief four month period in the second half of last year. The third failure occurred on Dec. 24

SS-23 Spider 9K714 OKA Missile
In the early 1970s, the Soviet Army sought a replacement for the 9K72 Elbrus (SS-1C `Scud B') system, which had a very slow reaction time [around 90 minutes to prepare and fire] and its poor accuracy when using conventional warheads. The replacement system, codename 9K714 Oka, was developed by KB Mashinostroyenia (Machine Industry Design Bureau) in Kolomna. The new 9K714 system featured a reaction time of under 30 minutes and used the low-maintenance solid-fuel 9M714 missile. The 300 km range of the R-300 (`Scud') was surpassed by the 400 km range of the 9M714/R-400. In the early 1970s the Warsaw Pact had only a limited ability to strike North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) air bases in Europe. However, by the mid-1980s Soviet forces could strike NATO airfields in all types of...

New leap in Iran's missile technology
Iran successfully tested the missile recently, which burns a combination of solid and liquid fuels and has a range of 2,000 kilometers. "This is a whole new missile," Uzi Rubin, former director of Israel's Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, told Jane's military intelligence website. "Unlike other Iranian missiles, Sajjil bears no resemblance to any North Korean, Russian, Chinese or Pakistani [missile technology]. It demonstrates a significant leap in Iran's missile capabilities, he added. "Regardless of the success of the test, this missile places Iran in the realm of multiple-stage missiles, which means that they are on the way to having intercontinental ballistic missile capabilities," Rubin noted. Iran has said that its missile capability is of a defensive nature.

Topol-M SS-27 Missile ICBM
The single-warhead Topol-M is an advanced version of the silo-based and mobile Topol intercontinental ballistic missile. The solid-propellant three- stage Topol-M missile complex, with a standardized (silo and mobile) missile, is to become the foundation of the Russian strategic nuclear forces in the 21st century. It is planned to accommodate Topol-M both on self-propelled launchers as well as in silos. High survivability of the mobile complex is achieved by the capability of offroad movement, of a continuous change in location and of a missile launch from any point along the movement route. The Moscow Institute of Heat Engineering (MIT) State Enterprise is the only plant in Russia building such missiles today. The modernized 45-ton Topol-M is the first strategic missile to be built by...
