Russian Missile Test

Russia tested a new missile today with intercontinental range and nuclear capabilities. The US was notified about the test, as per the agreement the US has with Russia.  “Such testing is routine, and it was not a surprise,” said Pentagon press secretary John Kirby.

“The Sarmat, dubbed Satan 2 by western analysts, is among Russia’s next-generation missiles that Putin has called “invincible”. It is designed to replace the Soviet-era Voevoda ICBM, known by the Nato designation SS-18 Satan.

Designed to elude anti-missile defence systems with a short initial boost phase, giving enemy surveillance systems a tiny window to track, the superheavy intercontinental ballistic missile can carry multiple warheads.”-via The Guardian

Putin said about the launch:

“"There are no analogues in the world and there will not be for a long time. This unique weapon will strengthen the combat potential of our Armed Forces. It will reliably ensure the security of Russia from external threats and make those who, in the heat of frenzied aggressive rhetoric, try to threaten our country.”

According to him, only Russian assemblies, components, parts were used to create the rocket: "This will simplify the serial production of the complex by defense industry enterprises."”

-via Pravda (Russian language source, there’s a video of the launch and Putin’s speech at the source.)

“Putin was shown on TV being told by the military that the long-awaited Sarmat missile had been test-launched for the first time from Plesetsk in northwest Russia and hit targets in the Kamchatka peninsula, nearly 6,000 km (3,700 miles) away...

Russia's nuclear forces will start taking delivery of the new missile "in the autumn of this year" once testing is complete, Tass quoted Dmitry Rogozin, head of the Roscosmos space agency, as saying on Wednesday...

Douglas Barrie, senior fellow for military aerospace at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said the launch was an important milestone after years of delays caused by funding issues and design challenges.

He said more tests would be needed before Russia could actually deploy it in place of ageing SS-18 and SS-19 missiles that were "well past their sell-by date".

Barrie said the Sarmat's ability to carry 10 or more warheads and decoys, and Russia's option of firing it over either of the Earth's poles, posed a challenge to ground and satellite-based radar and tracking systems.”

scp 1178

Item #: SCP-1178

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: An area of exclusion has been created around SCP-1178's active area. Any human or vehicle entering this area is to be immediately terminated or destroyed. Security personnel patrolling this area from the ground must maintain a state of radio silence at all times. Aircraft patrolling the area must never move closer than 2 kilometers to SCP-1178's area of exclusion. Observational equipment must pre-date 1938, and be constantly manned by Foundation personnel.

If SCP-1178 shows any signs of movement towards the perimeter, it is to be considered a containment breach and a possible apocalyptic scenario. Loudspeaker units set up around SCP-1178 must constantly create broadcasts of varying nature, including:

Fabricated news reports of limited nuclear war between NATO states that possess nuclear armaments and the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China. In addition, there are to be reports indicating that the Midwestern United States has been devastated in a retaliatory strike and that the US Army has invaded the Kamchatka Peninsula.

False broadcasts indicating troop movement and communications in the Soviet and United States armed forces.

False civilian broadcasts corresponding to the above events.

Television signals for programs broadcast between 1962 and 1981 in the Soviet Union.

Advertisements for consumer products such as gas masks, radiation suits and firearms capable of being used by a child or parent.

In the event that SCP-1178 begins to accelerate, all personnel are to initiate the Pretia Protocol. In the event of a Pretia Protocol failure, Overwatch Command is to be set on high alert for the imminent possibility of an end-of-the-world scenario.

Description: SCP-1178 is a Soviet era RT-2 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (NATO reporting name SS-5 'Skean'), manufactured sometime between 1962 and 1967. SCP-1178 is suspended exactly 1.34 kilometers in the air above █████, a former Soviet missile base. SCP-1178's rockets will activate intermittently, however it has never been observed to move outside of breach events.

If any vehicle or mammalian organism approaches █████ or SCP-1178 from a distance of 200 kilometers or less, or if a broadcast contrary to standard SCP-1178 broadcasts is made in SCP-1178's range, it will begin to slowly accelerate itself from its position above the base. SCP-1178 moves very slowly, with the highest speed ever obtained being an estimated 1.6 kph, achieved during its initial activation event. SCP-1178's acceleration is to be considered a breach event, as it will cause SCP-1178's secondary effect to initiate. The initiation of the Pretia Protocol must to be done within 3 minutes of SCP-1178's acceleration in order to be effective.

SCP-1178's secondary effect will initiate in the event that the missile is able to accelerate to a speed greater than 0.2 kph. The early nuclear detection systems of any former Soviet state will begin to indicate an imminent nuclear strike. Starting with radar stations, all equipment possessed by these nations will begin indicating a massive nuclear strike coming from any nuclear capable NATO nations. When these states have gone on alert for the possibility of a nuclear strike, the equipment of any nuclear capable NATO nations will also begin to indicate an imminent nuclear strike from any country currently affected by SCP-1178. Note that SCP-1178 will only affect the early detection equipment of these countries, and does not affect the actual launch devices or the commanders in charge of said devices.

The Pretia Protocol calls for sleeper agents within nuclear detection organizations in various NATO and former Soviet states to sabotage the early detection systems of the countries they are working for. This is to create a plausible explanation for why these systems showed false readings. Once this has been achieved, personnel are to ignore or cast doubt on any readings detected by equipment affected by SCP-1178. In the event that one nation launches a nuclear attack, the response systems of the recipient nation(s) are authorized to be disabled by Foundation agents, to minimize the damage created by a nuclear strike and avert an XK scenario.

Prior to SCP-1178's containment, several incidents of near-accidental nuclear strikes by world powers were reported to the Foundation by assets integrated in the Soviet GRU and the American CIA, leading to the discovery and recognition of SCP-1178 as an anomaly. A partial list of incidents caused by SCP-1178 has been included in this report.

Object History: On ██/██/████, SCP-1178 was launched, which was reported as a test by the Soviet Union. During the launch, GRU Division "P" reports say that SCP-1178 ceased to accelerate and unexpectedly detonated once it reached a height of 1.33 Kilometers. At the same time, early warning nuclear detection equipment in the USSR began to display an imminent nuclear strike by the U.S. It is not known why the USSR did not retaliate in response to these readings. Approximately 6 days after the incident occurred, the GRU evacuated and then demolished the base, and established a permanent observation center.

Recovered records indicate that SCP-1178 was launched at an object present in the atmosphere over Siberia, but the appearance and properties of this object are unknown, as all information on the object was destroyed in 1991.

After an unknown period of time, SCP-1178 began affecting the area around the base, leading to its second activation event. Following this event, the area of exclusion that currently exists around it was established. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, GRU personnel began broadcasting the signals currently used by SCP personnel to contain SCP-1178. It is believed that research with SCP-1178 had led them to create an elaborate "post-war" hoax, in order to keep SCP-1178 pacified.

Research notes recovered from the GRU theorized that SCP-1178's only motivation to activate was to irradiate the earth through nuclear war, and if such a war had already occurred it would remain inert until another civilization capable of conducting a nuclear war arose.

Russian leader, Vladimir Putin has reacted after his military conducted a test launch of its intercontinental ballistic missile, called 'Satan II' also known as the Sarmat Russia's defense ministry announced Wednesday night, April 20 that it had fired the ICMB from a silo launcher at 3:12 p.m. Moscow time at the Plesetsk State Test Cosmodrome in the Arkhangelsk Region of northern Russia toward the Kura test site on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia's far east. The defense ministry's statement said that it landed in the “designated area in Kamchatka." The ministry added that after the completion of a test program, the Sarmat would go into service with Russia's Strategic Missile Forces. The RS-28 Sarmat is designed to replace the Soviet-era Voevoda ICBM, known by the NATO designation SS-18 Satan. Congratulating the military, Putin opined that the missile test would “give thought to those who are trying to threaten Russia," according to the ministry statement as quoted by Russia's TASS news agency.  The Sarmat or Satan II was one of the weapons Putin mentioned in a 2018 speech boasting it would render NATO defenses "completely useless." As at when he made the threat,  US security officials played it down. #vladamirputin #russia #satan11 #ibm #mycelebrityandi https://www.instagram.com/p/CcnxCLXLmIT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Internacionales #Noticias #Redes Rusia realiza ensayos con misiles balísticos tras las críticas de Putin a EEUU    -Rusia realiz�� hoy dos ensayos con misiles balísticos lanzados desde submarinos atómicos en aguas del Ártico después de que el presidente ruso, Vladímir Putin, anunciara una “respuesta simétrica” por la reciente prueba con un misil de crucero efectuado por EE.UU. El ministerio de Defensa ruso anunció el lanzamiento de un misil balístico intercontinental Bulavá (SS-NX-30, según la clasificación de la OTAN), el orgullo de la Armada rusa, desde el submarino atómico de cuarta generación “Yuri Dolgoruki”. Además, el submarino atómico de tercera generación “Tula” lanzó una misil balístico intercontinental Sinevá (SS-N-23 Skiff, conforme la clasificación de la OTAN), que al igual que el Bulavá puede portar hasta diez ojivas y burlar cualquier escudo antimisiles. La nota castrense precisó que ambos misiles, que tienen un alcance de 8.000 kilómetros, fueron lanzados desde el Océano Glacial Ártico y el mar de Barents, y alcanzaron su objetivo en los polígonos de tiro de Chizh (región norteña de Arjanguelsk) y Kura (península de Kamchatka). Putin había condenado el viernes en una reunión del Consejo de Seguridad de Rusia el lanzamiento por parte de EE.UU. de un misil de crucero con un alcance de más de 500 kilómetros apenas dos semanas después de abandonar el tratado de eliminación de misiles y corto y medio alcance (INF). Denunció que en ese ensayo se empleó una rampa de lanzamiento vertical MK-41, el mismo tipo de las emplazadas por Washington en Rumanía y que próximamente serán instaladas en Polonia para su escudo antimisiles. #ComparteTuOpinión https://www.instagram.com/p/B1tS0jZlqp2/?igshid=63bf74mjl0t2
