Yankee SSBN Sub Brief part 1 of 6

The warheads on the SS-N-6 Mod.3 were MRV's (Multiple Re-entry Vehicles) not MIRVS (Multiple Independently Targeted Re-entry Vehicles). They fired at the same general target but were not independently targeted or targetable. Think more along the lines of the Polaris A3 which used the same system. The concern we had with MRV's and targeting them was that they fell in a sufficiently wide pattern that they didn't take each other out - as a result they were given a short time delay from the bus so that there would be sufficient spacing on impact. MIRVS of course were a whole different issue, able to be distributed over wider ranges and each specifically targeted.

I had never seen or heard of the early schemes to have rotary missile launchers; it is a very original approach.

Very cool! Been waiting for a chance to "binge watch" your Yankee series, so far so good.

Makes sense

Hoping you do post the all-in-one version. I’d much much prefer it be done like that. Only mentioning it because you said you had planned to do that when you have a food connection. Hoping for that version sometime soon.

Main engine is probably the main reduction gear.

Whats the difference between a main turbine and main engine?

Thank you John, That's a huge help.

thanks for all the photos!

Arron .. hate to clutter up on-topic comments with off topic stuff, but I don't have an email address for you. Reference your "internet" deficits. Punch up cellmapper.com and see where your towers are. Carriers and bands should be listed. You can use Google Earth Pro to get your exact coordinates, distance, and elevation difference. If you have a lot of trees to mitigate, go for the lower bands like 12 and 5. Band 2 is at 1,900mhz and really hates trees, and less forgiving Fresnel capability (less than pure LOS). I use a Mofi4500 with an AT&T sim, shooting about 16,200 feet distance and up 8.7 degrees to the tower. Ask your neighbors what works best for them. Cheers!

I think it's just you. It's plenty loud at half volume for me. Thank you for helping on these briefs!

Fine for me. Thanks for all the Photos BTW!

Andre Nikolaev, Ilya Kurganov, A V Karpenko 👍 Like if you agree.

Not sure if it's just me, but the volume seems to be a bit low.

lolz, my brain broke on me there. it's 9.6 meter high. not wide. Good catch.

@21:41 You mention the R-27 Ballistic Missile is 9.6m diameter. That's a 27-foot wide missile, close to Space-X's Starship. I checked on Wiki and that appears to be its length, diameter was 1.5 meters.
