I read on bmpd that the combat starting positions of the Sarmat ICBM will be covered by the "Blockade" active protection complex or its modernized version: https://demchenko2000.livejournal.com/1275.html

Avantgarde is an unpowered boost glide vehicle, no scramjet, no engine.

Re: New Russian heavy ICBM - Sarmatian
The missile with the hypersonic engine, possibly a scramjet, is the Zircon, not Avangard.
Sarmat will likely have Avangard boost glide warheads in at least some versions in order to enable it to be resistant to ABM systems.
These are basically warheads which can glide across the atmosphere after being boosted by a rocket. They don't have any propulsion.

TBH there is no way to know for sure. The "generic" HGV is an unpowered vehicle, but who can say for sure if Avangard doesn't have scramjet as a sustainer to extend its performance envelope? Data regarding its performance is obviously classified, and the US isn't about to show its hand and reveal what it knows (or doesn't).
Zircon is most definately scramjet powered, so Russia possesses workable engines. The question is do they have an engine that can work at very high mach numbers in the rarieifed mesospheric atitudes?

That seems highly unlikely. AFAIK a detonation or scramjet engine requires oxygen to operate. It is meant to operate inside the atmosphere. That is how you get the performance increase over rockets. By not having to carry the oxidizer. The Avangard might have some small thrusters to ensure it can maneuver better but it's highly unlikely it will have a powerful airbreathing engine in it. Particularly at those speeds scooping up air is pretty damn hard. If you go deep inside the atmosphere to scoop it up you will get really high friction heating which will melt most materials. Avangard is supposed to work at much higher speeds than Zircon. Allegedly Mach 27 vs Mach 8.

Re: New Russian heavy ICBM - Sarmatian
Western analysts are claiming that the Avangard cruises at 30 km for most of its range. That would require a propulsion system to overcome
air drag. I think they don't know what they are talking about, and the Avangard is a high altitude glider like the the various shuttles tested and
operated by the USA and the USSR from the 1970s. Cruising at 30 km takes away from useful payload and makes the warhead much slower
to reach the target. Thus, this approach is nonsense. ICBMs are not cruise missiles.
Since it is a high altitude glider, it does not require a main propulsion system, but needs to have maneuvering ability. This suggest thrusters
and flaps. But the Avangard does not need a lot to achieve large horizontal excursions since it can use its speed to achieve this. This is
another reason why cruising at 30 km is nonsense since it reduces the maneuvering range which defeats the whole purpose.

Yes, it likely glides across the top of the atmosphere and avoids the denser air until it starts the descent to the target.

Re: New Russian heavy ICBM - Sarmatian
How is the Avangard able to achieve such high speed for most of the flight. If there is no engine mayby only correct, each maneuver will waste a lot of energy. In addition, it flies on a low trajectory, where there is some atmosphere, which at this speed causes huge friction. In such a situation, its speed will be much lower than 27M in the terminal phase ?

Well, one possibility which would require minimum thrust would be to skip around the upper layers of the atmosphere. Link of it like throwing a flat pebble over the surface of the water.

Re: New Russian heavy ICBM - Sarmatian
It works like the Htv-2 from DARPA, that achieves Mack 22, no scramjet.
The only difference between them is Avangard works.

Today "Cobra Ball" did not go to Kamchatka. Judging by the fact that NOTAM Y6348 / 21 has been removed from the AIS to the restricted area adjacent to the ban over the Kura range, the launch (or its attempt) took place yesterday and today nothing will fly.

MOSCOW, August 4. /TASS/. The first launch of Russia’s advanced Sarmat silo-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is scheduled to take place this fall, a defense industry source has told TASS.
"The first launch of Sarmat as part of flight development tests will presumably take place this fall, the second one - in late 2021," the source said.
TASS did not receive an official confirmation of this information at the time of the publication.
Krasmash plant Director General Alexander Gavrilov told TASS in June that Sarmat flight tests had been scheduled for the third quarter of 2021.
Sarmat is to replace R-36M2 Voevoda missiles, which have been the most powerful in the world and operational since 1970s. Sarmat considerably exceeds the predecessor. Some of its characteristics were disclosed at Army-2019 forum. The new missile weighs 208.1 tons, the payload is close to 10 tons and the fuel is 178 tons. The range of Sarmat is 18,000 kilometers.
It can fly by unpredictable routes and bypass missile defense areas. It can fly over the North and South Pole and approach targets from directions that are not envisaged for interception. Sarmat can carry a line of reentry vehicles, including hypersonic Avangard gliders.
Military experts say that Sarmat missiles will help deter the United States’ plans of deploying its global missile defense system.

Shoigu: Krasmash is ready to fulfill the contract for the supply of Sarmat ballistic missiles to the army.
Krasnoyarsk Machine-Building Plant is ready to fulfill a long-term contract for the supply of the latest Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles to the Russian Armed Forces, Russian Defense Minister General of the Army Sergei Shoigu said on Friday.
On Friday, the Minister visited Krasmash, where he inspected the company's production facilities and heard a report from the company's management.
"We have just reviewed all issues related to new types of weapons. We looked at how Krasmash is ready to fulfill a long - term contract for one of the most formidable weapons that our country should possess-the Sarmat missile. We have full confidence that Krasmash will fulfill its tasks" – the Minister said at a meeting with the plant's staff.
The minister added that back in 2019, he could not say with certainty that Krasmash was able to provide this program, but today he is convinced of this.

Not sure it's worth reporting then, but its plausible at least.
MOSCOW, October 11. / TASS /. Two test launches of the newest liquid-propellant intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) Sarmat are planned to be completed by the end of 2021, the first of them in November. This was reported to TASS by a source in the military-industrial complex.
"Within the framework of flight design tests (LKI), it is planned to carry out two launches of Sarmat ICBMs from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in 2021, the first in November," he said.
According to him, in 2022, LKI missiles will continue, then state tests will be carried out so that by the end of the year the first regiment with missiles of this type will take up combat duty as part of the Strategic Missile Forces (Strategic Missile Forces).
TASS has no official confirmation of this information.

Instead of two pledged tests this year, there will be only one. For several years now, the Sarmat missile's flight tests have been postponed. Is something wrong with the project. This is an extremely important project because Sarmat is to replace the old R 36M2, which has more than half of the strategic nuclear arsenal of about 460 warheads.
They seem to be doing better with the development of hypersonic weapons than with the new heavy ICBM. Nothing is known about the progress of work on Poseidon and Burevestnik.

Nothing is known about the progress of work on Poseidon and Burevestnik because Russia has absolutely no reason to tell the feckless bastards in the West what they are doing, or when it will happen. The West are the self-avowed enemies of Russia, and now increasingly, of China. That kind of stupid arrogant bullshittery has consequences, and just one of those will be Russia (and China) building new advanced weapons which the west has no counter against.
Cause. Effect. Its shrouded in secrecy, and we have no-one to blame but our own idiot "elites".

Yes, these are complex projects, but Russia has extensive experience in the construction of ICBMs. However, something is happening, there are problems since they have been postponing flight tests for 3 years. It is not known whether it will fly this year. Of course, there are always problems, but in this case something is going nue, because they assumed the commissioning in 2020.

Couple of weeks delay at the end of the year can easily push test to next year

Re: New Russian heavy ICBM - Sarmatian
In the first test they said it entered the atmosphere at mach 26 and accelerated to mach 27... gravity is 9.8m/s/s which means it would need to free fall in gravity with no drag quite some distance to accelerate 1 mach...
