Defense innovation in Russia in the 2010s
/ Kashin, Vasilii
Kashin, Vasilii
Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract
The chapter examines the driving forces and the institutions behind the Russian military buildup in the period between 2010 and 2020. The beginning of the rapid Russian military modernization in late 2000s was the result of the shifting threat assesments by the Russian political leadership and the painful lessons of the war with Georgia in 2008. Russia had to conduct an throughout and painful restructuring of the military institutions and the defense industrial complex in order to be able to meet the ambitious goals of its’ rearmament program. The result was significant growth in the Russian military capabilities by the middle of the decade.

Hypersonic boost-glide weapons
/ Acton, James M
Acton, James M
Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract
The United States, Russia and China are developing hypersonic boost-glide vehicles. A simple model of their trajectory is developed by assuming that the vehicle does not oscillate during the transition to equilibrium gliding. This model is used to analyze U.S. Department of Defense data on test flights for the Hypersonic Technology Vehicle-2. This glider's lift-to-drag ratio—a key performance parameter—is estimated to be 2.6. The model is also used to calculate the tactical warning time that a boost-glide attack would afford an adversary. Other aspects of boost-glide weapons’ military effectiveness are explored. Approximate calculations suggest that, compared to existing non-nuclear weapons, boost-glide weapons could penetrate more deeply but would be less effective at destroying silos. The distance at which a boost-glide weapon armed with a particle dispersion warhead could destroy a mobile missile is also calculated; it is expected to be significantly larger than for an explosive warhead.

Hypersonic or just hype? assessing the Russian hypersonic weapons program
/ Williamson, Justin; Wirtz, James J
Wirtz, James J
Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract
Russian officials have spoken openly about their hypersonic weapons, touting them as the cornerstone of a new A2AD strategy. Questions remain, however, about the progress they have made in terms of “weaponizing” hypersonic technology. To assess the Russian hypersonic program, and the immediate threat its poses to U.S. Naval forces, the article describes the characteristics of hypersonic bodies. It then surveys the major systems under development by the Russians and the progress made in fielding those systems. It identifies limitations of the hypersonic systems show cased by Moscow and the possible motivations behind the Kremlin’s openness about their development.
