Listva mine clearing system will increase the power of the microwave gun


Created for the strategic missile forces, the Listva remote mine clearance vehicle will be equipped with a more powerful microwave gun.

- According to the modernization plan of the microwave installation, its pulse power will increase by at least five megawatts. This will increase the range of destruction of explosive devices, " Rostec told RIA Novosti.

The foliage will also receive a new management system and monitoring of the environment. Work on the modernization of the car is carried out by the Krasnodar plant "Cascade".

The remote demining vehicle is designed to accompany the Topol-M and YARS mobile ICBM launchers on their combat patrol routes.

The vehicle is based on the Bulat three-axle armored car and has a recognizable appearance thanks to the sensors for detecting explosive devices placed on the forward frame.

On the roof of the " Foliage "is a parabolic microwave antenna for destroying mines and IEDs. Ultra-high frequency radiation destroys the control electronics of the "infernal machines" or causes them to explode at a safe distance. The range of the complex is 100 meters. For reliability in the crew of the "Foliage" consists of two ordinary sapper.

Russia may extend service life of SS-19 Stiletto ICBMs by three years

Today Russia is implementing a planned process of replacing UR-100N UTTKh ICBMs: currently 50 such missiles are operational compared to 150 before

REUTOV /Moscow Region/, April 2. /TASS/. The service life of UR-100N UTTKh (NATO reporting name: SS-19 Stiletto) intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) operational in Russia’s Strategic Missile Force may be extended by three years, CEO and Chief Designer of the Research and Production Association of Machine-Building Alexander Leonov said on Friday.

"We will keep this missile on combat duty as long as necessary. Now we are going to extend its service life by three years," the chief designer said on the sidelines of the conference on cosmonautics, replying to a TASS question.

A whole set of measures is underway, he said. "This makes it possible to continue operating these missiles. But in this area any predictions are inappropriate: the hardware should itself suggest," the head of the Research and Production Association of Machine-Building said.

Today Russia is implementing a planned process of replacing UR-100N UTTKh ICBMs: currently 50 such missiles are operational compared to 150 before. They are being replaced by advanced Yars ICBMs, the chief designer said.

Russia’s Yasny missile formation operates UR-100N UTTKh ICBMs that are the carriers of Avangard hypersonic boost-glide vehicles.

The Research and Production Association of Machine-Building (part of the Tactical Missiles Corporation) is the developer and manufacturer of sea-launched cruise missiles and Earth’s remote sensing satellites. It exercises warranty supervision of UR-100N UTTKh intercontinental ballistic missiles.

According to the data of open sources, the Enterprise has developed and is delivering Avangard hypersonic boost-glide vehicles to the troops and is working on the sea-launched Tsirkon hypersonic cruise missile. The Research and Production Association of Machine-Building also produces Bastion coastal defense missile systems.

Here's a video in which the reporter calls it a 'Puskovaya Ustanovka' (Launcher). They had to carry it across on a special pontoon ferry that can handle the weight....also, the two way pontoon bridge is interesting
