The National Interest compiled several unclassified defense sources from General Electric experts about the similar 601B project [32] [33] [34] and they predicted low weight and compact gas-cooled nuclear reactor in the drone. [35] Russian submarine designers say that a low-power reactor is preferred for Poseidon because a smaller reactor is ...
A 53-65K torpedo on display in the torpedo storage areas of the former Soviet aircraft carrier Minsk. Type 53 is the common name for a family of 53 cm (21 inch) torpedoes manufactured in Russia, starting with the 53-27 torpedo and continuing to the modern UGST (Fizik-1), which is being replaced by the Futlyar.
The Doomsday plane is a planned Airborne Command Post to be operated by the Russian Air Force. It is based on the Ilyushin Il-96-400-M commercial aircraft airframe and is scheduled to replace the older Ilyushin Il-80 models introduced in the early 1990s.
The Northrop Grumman E-10 MC2A was planned as a multi-role military aircraft to replace the Boeing 707-based E-3 Sentry and E-8 Joint STARS, the Boeing 747-based E-4B, and the RC-135 Rivet Joint aircraft in US service. The E-10 was based on the Boeing 767-400ER commercial airplane. In 2003, the Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and Raytheon MC2A team ...
Futlyar (Fizik-2) is a Russian deep-water homing torpedo tested by the Russian Navy in 2017; it entered service in the same year. Developed by the Saint Petersburg Research Institute of Marine Engineering and produced by the Dagdizel Machine-Building Factory, it will replace the UGST (Fizik-1.)
Italian news agency La Repubblica claimed NATO had warned of an imminent test of the Russian nuclear torpedo Poseidon. Here’s why that’s unlikely (for now).
A solid-fuel rocket accelerates it to cavitation speed, with a combined-cycle gas turbine in the nose creating the required gas bubble. [4] Once accelerated, speed is maintained by an underwater ramjet fueled by hydroreactive metals using seawater as both reactant and the source of oxidizer; the torpedo travels at around 200 kn (370 km/h; 230 mph).
The E-4B "Nightwatch" is nicknamed the "doomsday plane" because it can survive a nuclear attack. ... It costs $159,529 per hour to operate, making it the Air Force's most expensive plane.
