Very low automation. Is this the norm in missile production lines world over?

More automation = less jobs

All McDonalds / Burger Kings / What-a-Burgers / Jack-in-da-Box(s) in the US can be automated. Its very low tech and requires minimal human supervision. But then where else will people work? Remember that half the population by definition has below-average IQ. There's value in keeping low IQ low skilled people gainfully employed. Also automation does not build skills in the general population

Missile Assembly/Test on the other hand is a fairly decent IQ high skilled job that creates a pool of well trained technicians. Also, unlike the high daily footfall / sales volumes that McDonalds sees, the investment required for Missile Assembly/Test automation may not be recovered for a production run of few hundred missiles (unless you're manufacturing 20,000+ missiles like the US does)

Good point. But how about the reliability and accuracy of the parts/assemblies/systems manufactured/fabricated using (mostly) manual vs. (mostly) automated processes?

Titash ji, this is OP and we can take this to tech forum for further discussions. I worked at McDonalds corp headqrts in Chicago for a couple of years and have some limited insight into this. MCD's is not automating its stores in US not because of some good will towards its minimum wage employees, but the promised automation is no where close to broad deployment and has an extremely low take rate from its franchise owners. Starting 2015, it ran a dozen of these test centers in various parts of the country and came to the conclusion that it's better off with low wage/quali employees and has significantly scaled back its automation operations, so much so that for the first time in its history, it started giving retention bonuses to its restaurant staff, along with other perks.

Can Russia REALLY wipe out Britain with a '1,000ft-high tsunami'? Experts say Putin's Poseidon nuke COULD destroy a coastal city, cause radioactive floods and kill millions in London

No idea why they could not include the death of Liz and the coronation of Chuck in that title, but ...................

* Putin's propagandists have continued to threaten the UK with nuclear holocaust
* Experts warned that if Putin launched Poseidon, London would be destroyed

A towering 1,000ft radioactive tsunami crashes into British shores pulverising everything in sight and reducing entire cities to desolate wastelands.

This is the chilling image conjured by Russia's ranting propagandists as they boast of the devastating power of Putin's most fearsome weapon - an underwater doomsday torpedo named Poseidon.

Since Putin invaded Ukraine, his propagandists have continued to threaten the UK with a nuclear holocaust - and the rhetoric has continued to escalate in recent months. Just yesterday, retired Russian general Yevgeny Buzhinsky urged Putin to launch Poseidon - still said to be in testing - that he said would destroy Britain.

And now, international military experts have warned that Putin's underwater torpedo could indeed destroy the UK's coastal cities, cause radioactive floods and kill millions of people in London.

While the experts deny Russia's claims that Poseidon would result in such monstrously high 1,000ft waves - around the height of the Eiffel Tower - or that it would destroy the entire country, they say that the effects of such a nuclear strike would still be 'devastating'.

If Russia launched the Poseidon from its 'doomsday' submarine and the torpedo exploded in the Thames estuary, for instance, a tidal wave would erupt from the water's surface and destroy London, the academics say.

If Russia launched the Poseidon from its 'doomsday' submarine and the torpedo exploded in the Thames estuary, for instance, a tidal wave would erupt from the water's surface and destroy London, experts say

While international military experts deny that the Poseidon would result in such monstrously high 1,000ft waves - around the height of the Eiffel Tower - or that it would destroy the entire country, they say that the effects of such a nuclear strike would still be 'devastating'

'If the Poseidon is armed a large megaton warhead it would undoubtedly cause damage,' Professor Andrew Futter, a University of Leicester academic and nuclear weapons expert, tells MailOnline.

'If a large nuclear device were detonated in or near that Thames estuary, the tide in the Thames could surge towards buildings and millions of people could potentially die in the blast. There would be a lot of damage. The reality is that a large megaton blast, even in the water, would be very destructive.

'The immediate worry wouldn't be about radiation because a huge number of people would killed by the blast, shockwave or burns, first.'

Futter added: 'It's possible that it would leave the Thames irradiated, but there'd be so few people left alive in central London that it wouldn't really make a great deal of difference.'

Dr. Rod Thornton, a security expert at King's College London, says that the Poseidon torpedo would 'wipe out' any cities close to the explosion, whether it be London or New York in the US.

Thornton says that if the Poseidon exploded just off the coast of south-east England, thousands of people along the coast could be killed from the nuclear explosion itself. He explains that the tidal wave would be bigger if Poseidon was launched in deeper waters.

Thornton says that if Russia launched the Poseidon from a submarine in the middle of the North Sea, it 'would create a fairly 'small' tsunami'.

'But the wave, if it it swamped London, would kill everyone there. It would wipe out the city,' Thornton says. 'And the same wave might kill everyone in all channel ports in the UK and France - and maybe even as far as Rotterdam.'

Last year, Russian propagandist Dmitry Kiselyov, a man often known as 'Putin's mouthpiece', urged Putin to wipe the UK off the map with the Poseidon underwater drone while standing in front of a background graphic showing the UK being erased by a giant wave.

Just yesterday, retired Russian general Yevgeny Buzhinsky urged Putin to launch the Poseidon underwater drone (pictured) that he said would trigger a 1,000ft-high radioactive tsunami and destroy the whole of the UK

But while Putin's propagandists have claimed the Poseidon would destroy the UK with 1,000ft waves the size of the Eiffel Tower, the military experts disagree.

'It would have to be a phenomenally massive nuclear blast to create a tidal wave that would cover the whole UK. I just think physically that it just isn't possible to do that,' says Futter.

'It would certainly move a large volume of water, though whether it though whether it would create a genuine tsunami on the scale we often see in the Pacific Ocean is improbable,' James Rogers director of research at the Council on Geostrategy, tells MailOnline.

'We would certainly see large movements of water locally - though that would probably be no less relevant than the heat and blast damage of the burst.'

Thornton explains that the Poseidon, which is made up a 65ft tube that is almost 6ft in diameter, would travel on a 'doomsday' Russian submarine to waters off the UK or US coastlines - a journey that would take a few days.

The torpedo would then be launched from the 30,000 Belgorod submarine and travel remotely towards the coastlines before detonating and causing a huge explosion.

The 184m (604ft) Belgorod submarine is the largest sub built in 30 years and is said to be able to be armed with six Poseidon nuclear torpedo drones.

The Belgorod is an Oscar-II missile cruise submarine, which is modified to conduct covert missions and carry the large Poseidon nuclear torpedoes

What is known with certainty is that the Poseidon is the biggest torpedo ever built

The Poseidon's tube is thought to contain a nuclear reactor theoretically giving the drone an unlimited range if travelling on a pre-set course to its target.

In order for an operator to control the drone, it would have to stay within range of some kind of control tower.

James Black, Assistant Director of Defence and Security at RAND Europe, says that the Poseidon could travel 'undetected for extended periods'. 'This introduces an added uncertainty to the West's defence and deterrence planning.'

He agreed with the military experts in terms of the carnage that the Poseidon could cause.

'It would be able to threaten coastal targets hundreds or thousands of miles from its launch point,' Black says.

While the exact payload of the Poseidon is unknown, the size of the nuclear warhead seen in leaked designs suggests it could have a yield of up to 100 megatons.

That would make Poseidon roughly twice as powerful as the Tsar Bomba - the largest nuke ever created - which obliterated everything within a 60 mile radius when it was tested in 1961, shattering the windows of buildings up to 560 miles away.

However, Professor Futter says Russia has provided no evidence that Poseidon does have a 100 megaton warhead. He says it is more likely to have between a three to five megaton warhead, which is still large, but much smaller than Russia's claims.

Futter says that Russia's rhetoric surrounding nuclear weapons amid the Ukraine war is incredibly dangerous.

He says: 'I think we are entering into one of the most dangerous periods, certainly one of the most dangerous periods in nuclear story for a generation, probably since the 1980s. I've seen the return of nuclear threats.

'We've seen the return of the rhetoric surrounding nuclear threats, particularly around Ukraine. Some of that is political.

'Some of that is the Putin regime trying to garner support and show it has strong nuclear weapons. Clearly, the nuclear threat has also been used to try and keep NATO and and other partners out directly out of the Ukraine war.

'But you could argue it's been not that successful because you know the Ukraine has been supplied tonnes and tonnes of kit, albeit with no direct intervention.'

He adds: 'There is a real concern around this and around the kind of flippant way that some of these risks are used, given the potential destruction that might come from it.'

The Modern War Institute at West Point—a sort of think tank chaired by Mark Esper and which is a part of the Department of Military Instruction—released a very interesting in-depth analysis of Russia’s battlefield innovations in the SMO, called:

THE RUSSIAN WAY OF WAR IN UKRAINE: A MILITARY APPROACH NINE DECADES IN THE MAKING.
https://mwi.usma.edu/the-russian-way-of ... the-making

It’s fascinating enough to do a full breakdown on because much of the analysis confirms not only many things we’ve been discussing here for months, but also that Russia is adapting, evolving, and arguably revolutionizing modern warfare. And more to the point, it validates the assertions long held by those in the know that Russia’s current—sometimes mystifying—frontline tactics are precisely intentioned choices, rather than the haphazard bricolage of a fouled-up or directionless command.

The article begins with a cautionary note about how Russia’s perceived shortcomings or ‘blunders’—like the Kharkov retreat, etc.—have been over-simplified into a false narrative of a weak or failing armed forces. The author immediately establishes that Russia is actually ‘ahead of [its] time’ in terms of conceptual military strategic advancement. He goes on to develop the thesis that the modern battlefield has devolved into one characterized by dispersed and fragmented units, where dense troop concentrations are extremely vulnerable to precision strikes:

The capacity to detect and strike targets at ever-greater distances and with ever-growing precision increases the vulnerability of dense troop concentrations, and therefore limits the ability to conduct large-scale sequenced and concentrated operations. As such, in order to enhance survivability, current battlefield conditions are forcing military units to disperse into smaller formations, dig in, or both, unless these conditions are effectively countered. As a result, the battlefield tends to become more fragmented, offering more independent action to lower tactical formations as the depth of the front is expanding to a considerable extent.

Sounds like science fiction to me. A nuclear powered missile? For starters, how do you deal with the weight penalty of the shielding? And to provide the necessary thrust, it would have to run very hot which implies that there is a very active chain reaction going on and that in turn implies more radiation emitting.

Pratyush · Post by **Pratyush** » 06 Oct 2023 12:37

This is an extremely old concept. During the cold war both the US and USSR had concept aircraft powered by nuclear reactors.

They were also working on nuclear powered cruise missiles.

Infact, when the US came up with star wars program during the 80s. They had projected a set of technical responces from the USSR. Along with the projected timelines for when those responces would emerge.

A nuclear powered cruise missile was one of the projected response of the USSR to the Star Wars program.

The PD-14 (Prospective Engine with 14 tf thrust) is the base engine of a family of promising Russian civilian turbojet aircraft engines, developed by the United Engine Corporation (UEC) for the MC-21 family of airliners.

The PD-14 is the most advanced engine (a 5th generation engine) created in Russia and claims its rightful place among the most advanced civil aviation power plants in the world. Belonging to the 5th generation, it has incorporated all the latest technologies, solutions and materials available at the moment, which already at the stage of creation gave a huge leap forward to the entire Russian engine building industry: from science and development to testing and production.

In today's story we will take a closer look at the PD-14, learn how the creators managed to achieve the high performance of the engine, how it was developed, how it was produced and due to what advantages will it be able to successfully compete in one of the most technologically complex and competitive markets in the world.

Only GE (and CFM) are making use of carbon fiber epoxy to make fan blades. Rolls Royce and Pratt & Whitney are still using metal alloys. PD-14 is a fifth generation turbofan engine developed for MC-21-300 aircraft, PD-14A for MC-21-200, PD-14M for MC-21-400. PD-8 engine will be installed on the Be-200, AN-148 and Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft. Therefore, the designers and engineers were faced with the task of creating a unified gas generator, which is the main element of the engine.

16 new technologies were developed for PD-14 by russian designers, engineers and scientists, namely - single-crystal blades for a high-pressure turbine with an advanced cooling system that allows the turbine to operate at temperatures up to 2000 ° K.; hollow wide fan blade made of titanium alloy, thanks to which it was possible to increase the efficiency of the fan stage by 5% in comparison with the fourth-generation turbofan engine PS-90 produced in the USSR in the late 1980s; low-emission combustion chamber made of intermetallic alloy; sound-absorbing structures made of composite materials; ceramic coatings on hot parts; hollow blades of a low-pressure turbine, etc.

20 new materials were created for PD-14 with indisputable advantages: a decrease in specific fuel consumption by 10–15%, a reduction in the life cycle cost by 15–20%; operation of the engine will cost 14-17% cheaper than existing analogues. All of them have been certified according to international standards. New Russian titanium and nickel alloys are used to create the engine. The engine nacelle design consists of 65% of domestic polymer composites, which achieves the required level of sound insulation and reduces engine weight.

The technologies used in the production of PD-14 are state secrets and are protected. Therefore, information on PD-14 is largely classified. The state's ability to produce cooled cast blades for a modern turbine aircraft engine is an indicator of the highest level of development in mechanical engineering. There are fewer states capable of producing fifth generation aircraft turbojet engines than countries with nuclear weapons or those that launch satellites into space. Only four countries - Great Britain, Russia, USA and France - possess full-cycle technologies for creating engines.

Another Russian engine the VK-1600V is a turboshaft aircraft engine created at the Klimov Design Bureau of the Russian United Engine Corporation. The VK-1600V has cruising powers of 600 and 900 hp. with takeoff power up to 1400 hp. and emergency - 1750 hp, created for medium-sized civil and military helicopters, primarily for the Ka-62.

The VK-1600V has an optimal design for its power level, using a number of advanced technical solutions and, in terms of performance, is close to engines of a similar class. The project is being implemented at a high pace, achieved through the use of the latest solutions: computer modeling and 3D printing, the scale of which has not previously been achieved in Russia. The two stage centrifugal compressor is definitely something new. At the end of 2023, the engine is at the testing stage and is being prepared for installation on the helicopter. There are also plans to create a turboprop version - the VK-1600S, which can be installed on light aircraft.

The comment was that, it's cheaper for the Russians to procure T90 over the Armata.

Regardless of the context of the comment.

It basically means that Armata is has no further future in the Russian army. The Russians will be designing a new vehicle by 2035.
