A 60% reliability means 60 in 100 launches are successful. It also means 40 in 100 launches fail. So it's a 0.4 probability of fail per launch. What are odds of 2 missiles failing? It's 0.4 x 0.4 = 0.16. It means that if a salvo of 2 missiles is launched, there's a (1-0.16 = 0.84) 84% chance of at least one missile reaching the target. A salvo of 3 missiles would result in a 93,6% chance of success.
2020-09-07 14:54:23 +0000 UTCGood brief. Thanks! Makes you wonder whether the number if presidential unit citations is going to go down due to fewer detections :-)
2020-07-16 23:06:18 +0000 UTCSuperb as usual, cheers
2020-04-24 06:17:48 +0000 UTCThanks for another excellent sub brief Jive!
2020-04-24 04:02:22 +0000 UTCI think your real name is Skip Tyler. As with all Russian doctrine, we'll overcome reliability issues with numerical superiority. Great brief that’s informative, educational, and reliable.

2020-04-23 01:09:33 +0000 UTC7:30 Bulava is "based" on Topol-M. What does this mean? Just the same design bureau? Does it share parts in common? Similar proportions?

2020-04-23 01:04:53 +0000 UTC@ 4:00 the Bark missile is the first "wholly indigenous production." What does this mean? Were they importing parts for their missiles from abroad?

2020-04-23 01:01:42 +0000 UTCThey are very quiet... for now (2020). That will change by 2022.
