Одним Махом: Россия разрабатывает оружие против гиперзвуковых ракет

Новым сверхдальнобойным боеприпасом оснастят перехватчик МиГ-31

I posted a similar like source at the mig-41 thread.

“ An ordinary anti-aircraft missile has one warhead,” he told Izvestia. - The probability of a miss on a hypersonic maneuvering target is very high. But if one ammunition carries several homing shells, then the chances of hitting a high-speed object increase significantly.

According to the expert, in the case of firing IFRK DP at hypersonic targets, all warheads will be displayed at a pre-calculated point on the trajectory of a flying munition and attack it in the forehead. The use of ultra-long-range missiles will expand the area of destruction of the interceptor.

Especially effective is the use of the complex during aircraft operations as part of a single information space. Aerial targets, cruise or hypersonic missiles can be detected by ground-based radars, early warning radars, or an attack warning system. The fighter will only need to launch an ultra-long-range missile in the desired area. At the same time, the interceptor will not have to risk it himself, entering into an air battle."

So is the name of this missile project called IFRK DP? Because in that source they are calling the mig-41 with a name called MPKR DP

Опыт российских специалистов позволил повысить КПД ракетного топлива в 5 раз

Результат исследования показал, что медь увеличивает скорость горения топлива на 500%, цинк – на 130%, а бор – на 10%.

"Russian experts from NUST “MISiS” learned to increase the speed of missiles by adding copper to the fuel composition. As part of the tests, scientists were convinced that the copper nanoparticles in the fuel will significantly increase the efficiency (efficiency) of rocket engines.

For some time, scientists studied the effects of nano- and microadditives of aluminum, boron, zinc, nickel, copper and molybdenum on the burning rate of solid fuels. As a result, each of the additives showed a different rate of catalytic activity. For example, boron increased the burning rate of fuel by only 10%, and copper - by 500%.

As you know, at present, the so-called cyclic nitramines are used as combustible material in solid rocket fuel. However, these substances are quite resistant to the action of existing catalysts, which imposes a restriction on the burning rate of the fuel and, as a consequence, on the speed of the object. The search for new combustion catalysts for various types of jet fuel is a key task.

Researchers have proposed an alternative component composition of solid fuels. As a fuel, experts used aluminum powder, a catalyst - nano- and microadditives of aluminum, boron, zinc, nickel, copper, molybdenum and their oxides. It turned out that the addition of copper nanoparticles to fuel would increase the speed of rockets by a factor of five. The result of the study showed that copper increases the burning rate of fuel by 500%, zinc - by 130%, and boron - by 10% "

I guess this is still more room for improvement to be made with solid fuel technology.
 
They seem to be very confident that the Barguzin program has been cancelled outright rather than just shelved. That may be a very dangerous assumption indeed.

Not clear why that would be an especially dangerous understanding/ assumption and for whom?

Wouldn’t generally refer to a National Interest article but it does gives a quick summary of why rail mounted ICBMs aren’t necessarily all they’re cracked up to be.

Russia Planned to Build a Nuclear Missile-Launching Train Straight out of James Bond

The ultimate weapon or overkill?

As I understand it, Barguzin was temporarily shelved because they needed the missiles originally allocated for it as boosters for Avangard in order to speed up introduction of that system, which is considered even more high priority.

Avangard uses UR-100Ns, Barguzin would likely use RS-24 Yars. There is no way even the Russians would put a liquid-fueled booster like the UR-100N on a rail-car. It was likely canceled because the infrastructure (bases) isn't available anymore and would have to be built from scratch (expensive). Better to just build more road-mobiles where the infrastructure is already available.
 
Avangard is an RV, so it can probably be used by many missiles. The RS-28 Sarmat is said to carry up to 5 (or 15 normal ballistic RVs).

Avangard is a HGV not an RV. There is a difference. As far as we know it has only ever been tested from UR-100N (liquid-fueled) boosters and only the (liquid-fueled) Sarmat will likely carry it as well. You can't just put an HGV on any booster and expect it to work. HGVs require specific insertion trajectories that not all boosters are capable off. Until we see an Avangard being tested on a Yars, its nothing more than a paper concept.

So it needs a Throttleable booster ?

The information stated for Sarmat was from RT.

Did Russian State Media Reveal a Mobile ICBM Cheating Program?

In September 2020, state-run RT (formerly Russia Today) published an article that appears to reveal a program for cheating with regard to the limit in the New START Treaty on deployed warheads by mean
www.realcleardefense.com www.realcleardefense.com

The article stated, “Russian troops operate new ICBMs in mine and mobile versions. Different types of ICBMs have their own advantages. For example, mines are certainly better protected from being hit by cruise missiles or other air attacks. The rocket is located at a considerable depth and is protected by reinforced concrete caps, said Alexei Podberezkin, director of the Center for Military-Political Research at MGIMO, in a conversation with RT.” "Mines" is not a reference to silo launchers, which are referred to in the article as "stationary launchers." “Mines” with “reinforce[d] concrete caps” are apparently a hard and deeply buried facility, which we call tunnel facilities with blast doors.
 
Шахта literally is a place where, for example, coal is mined, i.e. Mine.

In context of missile weapons, Шахта always refers to Шахтная Пусковая Установка(ШПУ), i.e. Silo

Dumb journalists can't even deal with use of online-translators.
