Gary Watson exactly, it's rather foolish to use decoys when all reentry vehicles can be.....all warheads..After all during a nuclear war, all that arms treaty jargon won't mean anything...
This comment i think show you don't really know what you're talking about. Warheads are heavy, the US' smallest missile warhead for example, the W76, weighs in at about 300lb. For the same weight you could be looking at a dozen inflatable Mylar decoys, 300lb of aluminum plastic strips as chafe, electronic warfare equipment etc. As for treaties, if you violate them the Russians will find out, before a nuclear war has happened. Both sides do verify each other is in compliance. They don't blindly trust them to follow it you know.
When they hit the atmosphere, the comparatively light decoys start slowing way down compared to the heavy RVs. So the decoys have those motors to keep their deceleration equal to the RVs, prolonging the ruse. But now the enemy can tell which are real and which are decoys! So the real RVs have smaller motors that burn simply to make them look the same as the decoys. But they do not provide significant thrust; it's more like the tracer compound in a bullet. Anyway current RVs don't have any of that now, because we don't use any penaids at all.
@@dziban303 oh interesting. I am sure we do use these still but just not "officially". Have to wonder about all these pronounced MIRV rollbacks. Very difficult to verify. It's not like when we decommissioned silos due to non-proliferation treaties and left the visible signs so the Russians could see from space that we complied.
We have less now. Due to nuclear reductions treaties. The targeting stuff is all improved but the warheads are really similar except for better safety features which are really only to prevent accidents.
@@sevenrats When I retired in 1981 after 19 years in the Minuteman system, we had reduced to 1 RV per missile and NO decoys as per treaty. I think that we 400 we still have on alert are probably the same still.

I assume it's because they can't make the inflatable shroud on the decoy out of the same heat shield material as the RV. So to make them look the same they gave the RV a shroud made of the inflatable material.
Everyone commenting on this video needs to read nuclear war: a scenario by Annie Jacobson. It’s as fascinating as it is horrifying. She covers a ton of the technical aspects of ICBMs including the use of decoy warheads
What could possibly go wrong? How about an I.C.B.B.? Intercontinental Ballistic Burrito? I know whenever I eat a burrito from the local convenience store I “drop the bomb” in less than 15 minutes!
Why do the RVs have a such a small rocket motor? Just do have the same signature as the decoys? Also: why do the RVs have a outer shell that is ejected?!
the RV ejects a shroud to look more like the decoy. the decoys have a much lower weight so they need a larger rocket to go fast through the upper atmosphere, while the real RV has more weight and momentum
One thing I do know is that they generally only use a single re-entry vehicle per missile now. I don't think this system would be required, but other methods like chaffs might be deployed
@@kevinmg3x355 Depends on the missile and warhead in question. The current US Minuteman III has three warheads plus chaff and other decoys. The US Trident II has four warheads (under New START limitations) and the remaining space for the other warheads is taken up by decoys. The British-version Trident II and French M51 are under no treaty limitations (and no one cares because there's not as many of them) and can carry 10+ warheads AND chaff and decoys. The Chinese, Russians, and North Koreans are never upfront about what they have anymore. And the Indians, well, who cares what the Indians have.

Her creation is destruction. These creators of destruction will ever see the new creation? No, their home is hell, from there comes the idea and creation of destruction.
MIRVs have no their own engine. This video confuses me. That's what makes them formidable and hard to intercept. They are small and they also do not emit heat. Similar to glide bombs, but even smaller and much much faster.
A few countries have ABM systems. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-ballistic_missile All of these systems have very limited range due to the extremely high speed intercept, they amount more to denial of area systems for a bubble of a few hundred kilometers.
So you would use real warheads as decoys? Or needlessly fire multiple warheads at the same target? Seems wasteful if a simple decoy can get the job done.
Yes, the countermeasures or decoys if they work and very well, there have been many tests of countermeasures and if they work and if they deceive, I guess the enemy will have to launch the interceptors to try to destroy all the decoys and warheads which will be multiple (MIRV) And they will also be maneuvering, dodging and changing their trajectory (MARV) and also the modern medium and long range ballistic missiles can carry HGV (hypersonic Glide vehicle) which are nuclear warheads that go at speeds of Mach 15 to Mach 20 (15 or 20 times faster than sound) or simply warheads with the speed of ballistic missiles, which also maneuver and you can also add all the countermeasures that exist with these warheads.
SLBMs are much more useful than ICBMs in a... real exchange . These missiles are just so expensive. They do serve an important role but think. You can find these silos easily. They've been there many years..but where is the submarine with its Tridents. Then you have the B-2 and 5th gen strike aircraft that we mow know convincingly would get through ADS easily and drop B61-12 . The LGM-118 was the Missileers best tool but it was treatied out . Also, it was expensive beyond its usefulness when the submarines. Just one can do so much
The heaviest Soviet ICBM, the R-36M, was capable of putting up to 8,800 kg of warheads and decoys into orbit. The heaviest US ICBM, the LGM-118 Peacekeeper pictured in this video, was capable of putting only 4000 kg into orbit. That's a pretty big difference.
That's true. 1st-generation ICBMs like the Soviet R7 and the American Atlas were highly inaccurate. As such, they needed larger warheads to effectively destroy their targets.
Zechariah 14: “This is the plague with which the Lord will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another.”
All a show. This is a 60s concept. Russia has lately scored a very visible point in the realm of penetration but suffered a net loss in parity. Both sides anticipated this and had plenty of time to react, so the question is whether this dynamic serves deproliferation or some third way outcome.
I will prepare Three special missiles for the three main antichrist contain ten war heads the ones just mentioned plus the bottom level of Hell, the scorpions sting, the heart break of every person rejected at heavens gate, the pig, Ndaa hell l, hell dog and the coffin
Let's talk some practical , recent terroristss hamass fired 5000 low quality missile on modern high tech iron dome. In which 10 to 20 percentage hit the grounds . Now 🇺🇸 with interceptors systems against ICBMs will never able to stop these deadly MIRV..it's not like 5000 MIRV will approach at short time but even 50 of them approaching will unlikely be intercepted ,becoz they're not so.e cheap missiles, they're are high tech manoeuvring small sized objects at 25 mach And even single neuclear hit will be deadline. Something can be done only before it reenter otherwise after re entry it's just blink of an eye before it strikes
Balloon decoys are lighter than warheads so when they encounter the atmosphere they slow down faster and anti-missile systems can filter them out and concentrate on the warheads. This system uses a rocket in the decoys so that they keep up with the warheads and a dummy rocket in the warheads so they look the same as the decoys.
It depends. Motors are used when the gravitational field of Earth cannot pull the RV into the atmosphere. Also, the motors could also be used to confused heat-seeking ICBM defenses.
A high ranking US nuclear strategist from the 1960's once said "The best penetration aid is another warhead."
