the lugansk people's republic has the attention of the calculation, the commander of the missile forces among and ordered the appointment. alert the launcher of the parquet complex. the first test route of the sarmatian will take place from here from the cosmodrome, plesetsk, that near arkhangelsk the rocket

has already been loaded into this underground mine, and now everyone is just waiting for the key to start. we set up a camera around the underground shakhta and are asked to move 5 km away from the launch site. you can hardly see anything from there, but the launch is a test, so security measures reinforced. a few minutes before the launch, the hatch cover of the launcher opens with a hiss at the command post of the strategic missile forces and they announce combat readiness. attention, the calculation received an order to duplicate the milk order attention calculation.

the rocket in puffs of smoke and fire comes out of the mine, as it were, hangs above it, the main engines turn on and the sarmat goes into the clouds. he will have to fly almost 6,000 km and hit a target at the kura range. it is in kamchatka that the entire cosmodrome seems to freeze in impatient anticipation. in the meantime, the rocket goes to given trajectory. we will tell you how it was developed and created. in russia, the production of a new heavy intercontinental ballistic missile sarmat has begun; now we are in a secret workshop and for the first time we will show you how the most powerful weapon on earth is made, together with the general designer of the missile, vladimir degtyar , we are considering. what is the armor of the sarmatian made of.

they are made of a unique alloy, and because of the special milling, the developers call the body of the rocket a waffle. wafer makes sarmat lighter and stronger here the rocket is presented as if assembled in the final version, there will be protection here, which will ensure the passage against rocket revolutions. vladimir degtyar was the general designer of the makeev rocket center at one time. he created the blue sea strategic complex for the development of the sarmatian, it took him almost 7 years to date. this is the vision behind rocket engineering, which was set up for the operation of the enterprise. in head with the state missile center. this is one of the best rockets in the world. and i'm not afraid of these epithets. the central command post of the strategic missile forces is located in vlasek near moscow, literally

in the moscow region it is a whole underground city of several floors with endless corridors , bunkers and locks, the length of the tunnels is almost 10 km. they say that in the soviet years a secret metro line was laid here from the kremlin, though no one has confirmed this until now. as they say, it remains a secret behind seven seals, or rather doors. high pressure is constantly maintained here so that in the event of a chemical attack, poison gases do not imbued surface straight. missile troops of assignment rocket troops of construction of assignment carry constantly in a special mode the means for controlling communications of the launcher are ready for combat missions commander of the duty forces colonel vasilyev officers are busy calculating it is here that

information from radars flows to the central console. missile attack warning systems from here monitor the status of all launchers in the country. this is the heart of the missile forces of artistic purpose for the commander. the strategic missile forces, all these underground communications, launching mines are like a huge sleeping organism of incredible power, on the pulse of which the duty officers of the central command post keep their hand. now, if you look at her from above before the launch, it feels like she is breathing. so she sighs. this is because there is a process going on inside e-tanks. uh, the movement of air takes place around, uh, in the mine, that is, it is all there and such a feeling is created, as it is alive, well, we do not dissuade anyone. the sleeping beast must be kept in constant combat readiness to serve repair and replace old missiles with new ones. in

order to fulfill the task of strategic deterrence in full, we need new missile systems to replace the outgoing one. moreover, the voivode complex is replaced, which it comes with the sarmat complex, he was in operation with ukraine, as it were, ezhmash, he was put on duty in the eighties of the last table. the voyevoda rocket or r36m2 is outdated and technically moral. in addition, the americans received all the documentation for it from ukraine back in the nineties . they knew all satan's weak points, but after all, than sarmat will be better than a governor. you know sarmat and the voivode, only the name matches, that this is a rocket, if the egometric characteristics of the rocket hit, this is the length and diameter, because from sarmat and the voivode will be located in the same shakhty. otherwise, it means everything. this is not an analogue. this is

a completely new rocket, firstly, it is based on russian materials and completely russian technologies. heavy liquid-propellant rockets have a very long booster section, it is easier on it. all of them to shoot down the american anti-missile system defense, just built on these flight characteristics of the governor, the shorter the active section of the trajectory and the breeding of warheads, with the achievement of the required speed, the better the security of this missile system and today the active section of the trajectory of the new missile system. it is one and a half times lower than it was, for example, the voivode's missile system. if you compare yours, this is an active site. this is range. this is precision. this is resistance, the striking factor of a nuclear explosion and many other parameters that are in samples outperform the voivode’s missile according to the nato

classification, it is not by chance that they are called satan under the nose cone. where we have now climbed in special triangular. the cells housed separable warheads with a total capacity of 500 hiroshin. this is a real doomsday weapon, so sarmat will be even more powerful. the north atlantic alliance calls the new missile satan 2, the russian army has a richer fantasy and strategic complex. she associates with ancient nomad warriors, the sarmatians inhabited the territory from the danube to the aral sea, warriors, which were unpredictable. they were very brave and created a heavy cavalry armed with a long one. uh, heavy spear arrows. well, they also had a straight, smashing heavy sword, which was a deterrent for the opposing side and was precisely retribution. the combat helmet

of a strategic nomad is simply huge, we warn you right away, it is retouched due to extreme secrecy, but you can see that the fairing is composite and woven from carbon fiber filaments. withstands incredible temperatures and overloads the sarmatian helmet is tested on a special stand at the makeev missile center in miass, we create an atmosphere in action of the degree, that is, in fact. this cosmos is a discharged discharged space. this is where the uniqueness lies. that is, we can work out the evolution of a rocket flight in these conditions of real space, there are no vacuum dynamic stands of such dimensions, nowhere else in russia or in the world. this is a shaft with a diameter of 10 m, and a working height of 60 m. and down. this is a mine for another 12 m. from that, here is 72 meters the height rolls up

a door. the multi-ton door on the rails closes and the pumping of air from this tower begins. on this stream, the separation of rocket stages with the help of pyrotechnic cartridges is being worked out in real conditions, this would take years. one stage hangs on the crane, and the second stage falls down is caught to catch specially so that this material part can be recycled and depending on the quality. from the cut, we see that the system is working. the cord is working or not, for example, you can check how it shoots at an altitude of 100 km. the helmet is a sarmatian fairing and the warheads are separated. i am in a transport-launch

container. and it's not just a carbon fiber racket case. this is a real protective cocoon that will keep the rocket for many years so that it is ready to launch at any time. right now the container is on the assembly stand and rotates slightly around its axis. the container is one of the main components of the rocket, or rather the rocket complex, the rocket is not only transported from the factory, but also lives. as a matter of fact, in the container in the mines of the launcher, all communications for pressurization, for dumping, for refueling for the water of the flight mission, pass through the container. and your water at sarmat was only the principle of a mortar launch, when a rocket is fired from an underground mine like a cannon ball, i don’t understand where its engine rockets are. that's what kind of contraption such a rocket from a standard

launcher starts due to the pressure created by a powder accumulator. this is the pressure accumulator. that is right here gunpowder is laid here, powder charging is laid during launch, it is clearly visible how the powder accumulator is pushed out of the valve, shaft a, when the first stage engines are started. he himself is thrown aside by a jet stream. and at a certain height the mid-flight engines turn on, please come with me. look, this saves fuel and saves the silo launcher so that it does not burn out, yes, so that it does not burn out so that it can be used for its intended purpose a second time. the sarmatians have a new more a powerful engine than that of the governor, the range for the new missile system no longer matters. can this rocket provide a trajectory? around the globe and you can

attack if the target is in the southern part of the north, if the target is in the north in the north you can attack from the south, the existing american system waits for missiles flying only through the north pole. optis of the desert, humble abode on ancient kozelsks around it, there are only passable forests and the starting position of nuclear ballistic missiles , one clearing among the pines, one missile mine, covered by a heavy hatch, under our feet is the most promising modern ballistic missile yars, that is, your regiment has actually been re-equipped with these missiles. yes , my regiment has completed the re-equipment of this missile system with all missiles installed on the launcher . that is, there used to be skeletons here, now there are modern

solid-propellant ballistic missiles yars. in the near future, the rssm will begin to re-equip launchers with governors for sarmatians, the position area of ​​the kaluga missile regiment - this is about a dozen underground mines at a distance of several tens of kilometers from each other, so that it was impossible to destroy the missiles with one blow. now the missile silo is undergoing scheduled maintenance. and this cover, which the military calls a protective device, opens rather slowly. it can be viewed from all sides. and even look into the mine in combat mode, this huge armored hatch weighing 120, which, by the way, can withstand a direct hit from an aerial bomb. it leans back in a matter of seconds due to the built-in special pyrotechnic cartridges.

nuclear glades in the kaluga forests are surrounded by a fence with live barbed wire and remote control security systems with machine-gun and grenade launchers. here you see 8 blocks of barrels, 10 barrels in each block, that is, only 80 barrels, that is, the terminator is resting. the terminator can only envy in a sieve. you can just blow anything you want and i want to note that such an installation. she is not one uninvited guests here, it is better not to meddle. and the commander of the regiment was waiting for us here dmitry kalinin cordially demonstrates his farm. on the ground, there are recently built guard control rooms for combat crews. but the most interesting thing, of course, is what is underground. say a. that's how

difficult it is to spend almost all your life here in a mine underground. well, maybe for some it will seem difficult, but missile officers are preparing for this and just such military personnel who have some deviations in these parameters. they are not allowed to make deities and they are here just can't appear in general. e, in preparation immediately before the speech, each was on duty with all officers, legal psychological testing, according to the results of which the psychologist does not give a conclusion, this officer can make his duty directly. at the moment, or not, all objects are connected by underground tunnels. patterns, practically. no, the need to go to the surface, right from combat duty. you can get to the gym and the pool for a harmonious healthy neighborhood mind and healthy body. and what is behind this door behind this door is the command post? the holy

of holies of the missile regiment, and then we go down even lower, here on this narrow elevator, we are here with difficulty, we can fit together with the regiment commander. and to what depth is the approximate height of the high-rise building? this is how many meters more than 30 m. well, let's go? here in the bowels of the kaluga land at the combat post there is a crew on duty around the clock from here, he controls all the missile silos in the district. from the cramped elevator we get straight into the household compartment. this is the lowest level of the command post. in total there are 12 places for officers to rest here with a simple uncomplicated movement. it all reclines and turns into sleeping quarters. that is, as with a compartment carriage, as a compartment for us in a carriage

, bedding is even better here. it is located here. in normal mode, the kettle also has a drawer for dishes. where can officers drink tea? there is also a first aid kit and a toilet. and now we need to go up again, but already on the iron stairs, there is a remote control control of strategic missiles, the command post of the missile regiment is considered the safest place on earth. it is in a steel capsule and suspended in an underground mine on shock absorbers to withstand an earthquake and a nuclear explosion. now the officers are on real combat duty, and we were asked not to distract them from strategic tasks with our questions, only to watch the filming from a certain angle and not try to press the buttons on the remote control, otherwise they would not let them in again. this is

what the command post container looks like in a section above the combat crew compartments house another 10 floors of secret communication equipment, electric generators, ventilation equipment, fuel and provisions, all this structure is held by hydraulic suspensions. explosion clouds they are the ones that will prevent the shock wave from destroying the command post and keep the capsule stationary. the details of combat duty at the command post were given to us by another officer of the master 's missile division, major artyom dorogulya, at the training post at the academy of the strategic missile forces, my father is a rocket engineer. i am followed in the footsteps of his father and military family. my mom is also in the military, as it were. i knew firsthand from a young age. i was with my father in the service in the barracks.

basically, he knew what they were doing. for a very long time now, major garagul is undergoing retraining at the military academy of the strategic missile forces and is mastering the control of the sarmatian used armat missile system, at the moment we are studying him in the disciplines of the military academy. we are studying the state of the technical systems of the product of the rocket itself after that, after the release military academy. i will be on combat duty. on this rocket on the button. never tremble no. the first thought is to complete the task. the second thought is what will happen, then in the first place, of course, the task. this should be done by someone, and i decided that this someone would

be i, i decided that i would be on combat duty at the drug- addicted point of the missile regiment, defending the homeland, the sovereignty of my country. there are almost 6,000 people of the missile troops who do not leave their combat posts for a second. our calculations twice a week on tuesdays on fridays change and three or four days without getting out without going out. they live here, eat, rest at certain intervals. after 6 hours, they are at combat posts. there are so many legends about this place, however, that even metro lines from the kremlin were dug here. no, it’s not true. you probably hide the secret of the legend - it's good, but there is absolutely no need for it to always have a railway, although the city of odintsovo is a

city of metros and rocket builders. that is, this the city was created specifically for them, because the headquarters of the strategic missile forces was here. and all metros are built during construction. well, they settled, so, probably, this legend was born.

the second to prepare a map of joint action is? the key has been used before. it was an electromagnetic lock key that closed the circuit and passed the rocket launch. now this card is used here, it is a special device for reading cards. after that, we can carry out the launch

of missiles, the launch order. given by the supreme head, commanding by his order. i'm doing a task. the execution of this order is worked out to automatism. officers perform these operations several times a day, attention, we will receive an order to launch. rocket of orders. the second to control the launch sequence is to control the passage of launch operations about the state of the launchers . the first launch, began with all the launchers the report accepted. but the order to launch ballistic missiles must come from the famous nuclear briefcase. this is the same

nuclear suitcase of the head of state, one of the very first, you can say that this is grandfather of domestic nuclear suitcases, it is believed that it belonged to leonid ilyich brezhnev. many people think that it is in this suitcase that the red button for launching ballistic missiles is located, but this is not entirely true, and now we will see what is inside the suitcase. sergey valerievich so where is the notorious red button in this device in this nuclear suitcase, as in the common people, they say nuclear suitcase, red buttons, no, but here is the red button for signal guidance, we have a white button, and the red button is cancel signal. the suitcase was developed in the mid- seventies for brezhnev in the leningrad design bureau . impulse on the initiative of the chief designer of the soviet combat control system of the strategic missile forces taras nikolayevich sokolov. the united states has already deployed

new medium-range missiles in europe and the flight time to the strategic objects of the soviet union was reduced to 7 minutes, it was necessary to make a decision quickly on response measures for a quick decision by the country's leadership, a device was needed that should be with him constantly two suitcases were made. one, even bright red, so that it could be seen from afar, was a red suitcase made of red leather. well, first of all, for aesthetics and for perception. a. what is his fate? where did he go? well, i think somewhere too is in a museum or kept under the services. suitcases for brezhnev were handed over to the general staff, having personally demonstrated the work to marshal agarkov and colonel-general akhromeev, but there were doubts how seriously ill the general secretary would be able to deal with all these access keys

and various punched cards, which is why the idea with two buttons arose. two buttons, one red on the other yellow, so that it does not get confused, well, at least this, so that it is more or less clear, as for the development of the suitcase, then, of course, two companies competed here. and i think that in the end, as far as i know, the moscow firm won. at the moscow institute, automatic equipment named after semenikhin developed for brezhnev a slightly different control system for the kazbek portable subscriber terminal chagit, but not known for certain. did leonidovich see him, the first acquaintance of the secretary general with the suitcase fell through for technical reasons, he talked with one of the designers, yes, with one designer. he told me this funny incident, when for the first time this suitcase was brought for brezhnev, the kremlin and since they were just busy, they told the receptionist.

wait an hour. statesman. big business. but we said, in order not to waste time, we decided to check how it works from the kremlin, where there is very powerful protection. we tried it on the windowsill, and nothing works, the signal is muffled. we are in a panic. well, we think that's all they sailed now to throw out positions , but thank god that the neighbor's assistant came out and said. sorry today. the system cannot accept you, the necessary changes were made and it was the chegem terminal that was put on combat duty, which is being exchanged and to this day its first user was chernenko from gorbachev-chage, yeltsin got it. now this suitcase is in the exposition of the yekaterinburg museum of the first president of russia, we see e buttons like this with commands and buttons with numeric codes two buttons, apparently, not without numbers. they are closed, that’s exactly what they

did there, it’s clear what specific elements consists of e, a cat, which is transmitted to e, military units for assignment to 10 weapons. we don't know one push of a button is not enough to launch ballistic missiles. even the leader of a country can not make a single decision on the use of nuclear weapons. the complex is essentially an apparatus in connection with the task of promptly holding a meeting between smek, uh, with which these complexes are located state of alert, and then, if necessary, promptly transfer the troops a code order to use e, nuclear weapons. three suitcases were constantly on combat duty. the head of state, the minister of defense and the chief of the general staff wore a cheget, usually a special officer of the navy. at

least one case of the use of the chegen system is known. in 1995, the norwegians launched a rocket with a meteorological probe without informing russia of the missile warning attack worked flawlessly and yeltsin opened his briefcase. uh rockets from artillery on a tractor, coinciding with american political rockets flying across the north pole towards russia, but very quickly left, because the rocket deviates from the course and is not directed towards russia, so i used it for the first time yesterday. uh, my suitcases, which are carried around me all the time. so, uh, they were with me in the morning, so, by the way, i took advantage of, by communication at once all the ministers of defense general. so to speak management buddha is the landing place of time and so on. everything

lived from start to finish. i mean, they certainly didn't expect us to catch her a bit. it's still not that big, we caught her fear. on the body of the yeltsin briefcase in the form of the logo of the well-known company samsanite, a representative of an american company assured that they had never worked with the russians on systems for a retaliatory nuclear strike against the united states, however, in those years, this was not the case under the existing strategic offensive arms treaty, the americans had own office on the territory of the votkinsk machine-building plant, which produced ballistic missiles overseas inspectors. almost 250 tons of special equipment were brought in, surveillance cameras were placed everywhere and each missile was checked with tape measures in the case of vodkin. we stripped naked when we allowed american officers to live on

the territory of a strategic enterprise where our poplars were made. hop, this also needs to be talked about. they controlled individually how many missiles we took out and even knew where like this nuclear potential america kept. they knew everything and even more about the new contract with nv-3, signed in 2010. this unilateral control has been abolished. and the procedure for transferring the nuclear suitcase over time became a tradition; the strategic portfolio turned into an attribute from a symbol of state power, which the president has for his entire term. maybe never even touch it, but he is always near the duty officer of a comrade, the supreme atm. i imagine, on the occasion of the transfer to you of the command of the country's strategic nuclear forces, senior shift colonel of sorts. over time, the cheget

underwent a serious modification, and how it now looks inside is a state secret. the academy of strategic missile forces has collected samples of all types of nuclear missiles that have ever defended the borders of our motherland. this place is simply amazing in its scale, here are the very first missiles designed by korolev and the latest avangard with a hypersonic guided unit. this is a whopper, by the way, these missiles are already in the underground mines on the combat defect. this missile system was put into service 3 years ago to the target of a combat, gliding block flies at an amazing speed of 28 machs or almost 10 km / s. while one vanguard is launched with the help of one medium-class missile, in the

future , several hypersonic units will be installed on heavy sarmatians at once and the combat capabilities of the strategic complex will grow significantly. the creation of the vanguard created a new era, the era of hypersonic weapons. well, by the way, today no one in the world standing there had there is no duty, but we have, with regard to the sarmatian. this is a different missile system. it is based on the carrier. it is much more powerful than the carrier of the vanguard and it was created, among other things, for the combat equipment of the vanguard, taking into account the fact that their number at this complex may be larger. this is not even a museum, but a real temple of russian rocket science. against the background of these giants, a person seems to be a helpless insect. yes, it is here that a person is truly aware of finiteness

existence itself. each missile is special; with each missile, a whole historical and technological stage in the creation of e-missile weapons began, for example, with the r12 rocket, in principle , e, the strategic missile forces of the roman crisis began. well, the caribbean crisis arose not because of it, but because of the need to protect our country and in order to respond to the threats that our country faced at the time of its appearance, it was necessary to deliver this effective weapon to cuba . it should be said that only 24 missiles, which turned out to be near the territory of a potential enemy ensured the solution of important strategic tasks. each of these

missiles can hit washington, the panama canal, and any city on the southeast coast of central america or the caribbean . 25 minutes after the start of the sarmatian from plesetsk, through closed channels, a message arrives about his successful arrival at the kamchatka test site. there was literally rejoicing at the successful launch of the missile , it flew completely according to the calculated technical characteristics, the warheads separated on time and hit a conditional target exactly at a certain time in certain coordinates, but most of all that day he was pleased with the father of the sarmatian vladimir degtyar. after all, the country of soviet times did not create anything

like this. we are capable, we know how all our positions in the head are brought in fact the entire path that we have traveled when creating this complex, it is pleasant to realize and see the birth of your child. a 200-ton child, who threw away her accelerating steps and lost 20 times weight during the flight, was met in kamchatka observing the appearance of a signal escort ready to escort on command proceeded. when it was almost midnight there, three luminous dots appeared in the black sky above the kura range. the flying lights became brighter, and then the separating blocks of the sarmatian one after another disappeared behind the hundredth fact, the arrival of the product, i confirm. in a few seconds

, another shooting star flashed over the horizon. this is the third step. sarmat burned up in the atmosphere. in the morning, a helicopter flew to the crash site with a search group of snow in kamchatka still lying a meter-long blanket. but it clearly shows the funnels of blocks being transported to the ground, the training and combat unit without a charge arrived , leaving the given area with amazing accuracy, leaving. at the same time, this funnel is 20 meters in diameter and 8 meters deep. the closed military settlement at the kura test site is located under the shadow of the majestic klyuchevskaya sopka, which regularly sprinkles snow-white snowdrifts under the window with its ashes. here we can see our village keys. right next to it is the famous

klyuchevskaya sopka, the most active volcano on the kamchatka peninsula moved. and here it is located on an area of ​​​​about 1,000 km. uh, the battlefield bark, our range, the world 's only largest shooting range for ballistic missiles. here they live in anticipation of eruptions, shudder from constant earthquakes and meet bears. almost more often than blocks from ballistic missiles? this is the fuel tank of a ballistic missile stage since the formation of the test site in the fifties of the last century, more than five and a half thousand warheads have fallen in these parts. this

very, very rare. and we only heard them, that is, they warn us that in such and such some periods. eh, we'll ask for guns. you do not visit this area. this is for tourists and casual hunters in the sky, something strange is happening, and the locals are already used to coming from hunting. well , tell me where you see some kind of tail, somewhere a ball, there they see some kind of iris. they get here from petropavlovsk-kamchatsky almost a day, it's 600 km on a bad road. in general, the inhabitants of this amazing place, but do not complain about fate at all more beautiful than these hills in all of russia can not be found and, of course, not some kind of end of the world, why on the edge? well, just the same, russia begins here, we

live in the beginning, here for the sarmatian here in kamchatka, everything is just beginning, he has a few more visits to the smoking volcano before he is put on combat duty, and he will fall asleep for a long time in the depths of the positional regions of russia to wake up or a heavenly nomad. we hope that there will never be anyone who wants to. large-scale rearmament of the strategic missile forces appointment should be completed within 2 years and as soon as all the sarmatians take their places in the underground mines, russia will receive reliable nuclear parity for the next half century.

once i was on 12 jurors who had to reach a verdict in one very

difficult case, 11 jurors voted indifferent. and i chose responsibility. justice compassion mercy love conscience, and what would you do?

what are you? what would you do and i ask you not to look. in this story, try the truth of everyday life experience the truth of life.

good news came from the donbass, the svetogorsk lavra was liberated from the nazis.

lavra is such a special orthodox monastery, which is the center of spiritual life for an orthodox country in general on the territory of belarus , ukraine and russia, only five lavra is, of course, the most ancient kiev-pechora lavra itself, then the pochaev trinity sergius lavra near moscow alexander nevsky lavra in st. -petersburg and as the youngest svyatogorsk lavra in the donbass is called in the past world and the saints mountains 18 years ago, we shot a film about the svyatogorsk lavra and called it a monastery. then we did not know what the future will be?
