Although it may seem late, like the rocket nemaiaflandu in endowment, in this article we want to take a look at the ground-to-ground missile systems, which were once the pride of the Romanian Army. Around 2 card monte these systems still circulated and circulate rumors and legends. 2 card monte Although there were Soviet-made, they were in those days a concern for NATO and can be equipped with explosive charges, chemical, training, propaganda, even nuclear, being built in large numbers.
R-11 system was a ground-ground missiles with greater range (170 km), which was composed of liquid fuel rocket to 8 K11 (SCUD-A). Soviet production was being a substantial improvement of the famous German V-2 WW II ("mother" of many missile systems, including the US. Do not forget that both Russia and its allies seized 2 card monte the "brains" of German at the end war, so many achievements and their projects have "continued"). 8 K11 used a rocket motor based on kerosene and oxidizer (nitric acid), with autonomous guidance system, 880 mm diameter, 1.82 mm diameter wings, length 10.25 m, weight 4660 kg, the weight of component fight 950 kg, minimum range 60 km, 170 km maximum range; launching the installation is 8 U218. He remained in the endowment until 1978.
Preparing a rocket launch last long, by today's standards, about 90 minutes; being made vertical launch. After the rocket was launched, operative automatically inertial navigation system type (consisted of a computer-based electromechanical relay electric four gyroscopes what extent skyrocketing deviation in direction and angle of inclination lateral deviation in flight) .
In composing system were also part: routing machine for checking equipment, machinery fuel and oxidant, rocket transportation vehicles, cranes, compressors for air supply trucks to transport component fight fire trucks. A real menagerie we might say! But for those times was an advanced and very powerful. With so much as 8 K11 missiles, could be equipped with a wide range of loads: explosive, chemical, nuclear maneuver and ... (no more than 50 kilotons) but .Romanianu had endowed nuclear charge (Soviets were delivering these loads allies, than a war with NATO, under agreements in force), although the Military Academy to study and this type of load.
Interestingly amplasasera Soviets launch facility on August U218 chassis tank IS-3 (still in great number, but outclassed). Romanian Army was equipped with R-13 systems 11: 6 Artillery Brigade Tecuci 32 (1961); 6 Artillery Brigade -Ineu 37 (1962); one at the training center laPloiesti rockets.
Another ROT system that was in the Roman Army, but inferior 2 card monte in range was 2 K-6 MONTH (FROG). He entered the endowment in 1962 -3 battalions 113 and 151 in Ploiesti, Craiova 180; each with two batteries each with a launch facility. 2 card monte This system ROT have no guidance system and launch facilities were type 2 P-16 FROG 3, a missile had type 3 R-9 (LUNA-1) and 3 R-10 (LUNA-2). These missiles could be equipped with nuclear warheads, insaRomania had nothing 2 card monte but fight explosive components and training (inert) for the same reasons mentioned above. 3 tactical missile R-9 have a diameter of 0.4 m, 0.61 m diameter wings, length 10.49 m, weight 2249 kg, fuel
