Was hat #Russland überhaupt an einsetzbaren Nuklearwaffen? Es ist deutlich weniger als ihr denkt.
#SLBM an U-Booten haben wir bis zu 5 der neuen #Borei mit je 16 R30 (SS-N-32 #Bulawa, RSM-56 Alternative Bezeichnungen) mit je bis zu 6 Sprengköpfen.
Dazu kommen 7 #DeltaIV mit 1/x
Je 16x R-29RM (SS-N-23 #Skiff) mit je bis zu 6 Sprengköpfen.
Dazu soll noch ein #DeltaIII (Status fraglich) im Dienst sein mit 16xR-29RL (SS-N-18 #Stingray mit je einem Sprengkopf. Das noch existierende #Typhoon (offiziell 20x Beluwa) wird nur als Testplatform genutzt und 2/x
Soll nicht mehr einsatzbereit sein, dazu eh gen Ende des Jahres ausgemustert werden.
Daher sind maximal 228 Raketen mit 1288 Sprengköpfen möglich.

Wenn eine Rakete mehrere Sprengköpfe trägt nennt man das #MIRV. Hier gibt es aufgrund der Verträge Maximalzahlen der MIRVs je 3/x

A few days ago I tweeted about #Trident-II 5D #SLBM tests and their range. But how about apogees?
One informative test was that of 10 September 2013. This one was observed, by accident, and these observations learn us a lot. Here is a thread with an analysis.

On 10 September 2013, German photographer @JanHattenbach was making a photographic time-lapse of the night sky at the island of La Palma, when something odd streaked through his view. Here is a time-lapse movie of the event, courtesy of Jan:

At the time, as Jan was wondering what he photographed exactly, I suggested that this might be a ballistic missile test. Which was shortly after confirmed, when the US Navy acknowledged a Trident-II 5D #SLBM test that night.
