Soviet road-mobile ICBM and TEL projects

Don't know what's in the first image, but the thing in the second is a missile mass simulator, not a bridge . . .

cheers,
Robin.

Right.

Here's a larger version of that image:




It's carrying a ship. It looks to be some sort of passenger ship. A river ferry perhaps.

Here's another photo of the same transport:

How about that . . .

You absolutely can, this was one of the proposed TELs for the Soviet RSS-40 Kuryer:

Kurier was also tested with the MAZ-7909 chassis, and production TELS were supposed to use the MAZ-7929 chassis.

What's our bet, display piece, test article, or Oreshnik launcher?
https://www.trucksplanet.com/catalog/model.php?id=2437The Pioner-3 was a "minimum icbm" to succeed the Pioner series, allegedly with a 5,500km range with a full load of 3 warheads. I'd love to be more familiar with the discourse around its cancellation.

Russia has displayed both TELs developed for the Kur'yer small ICBM. The version based on the MAZ-7929 chassis is on display at the Kapustin Yar test site. I do not know the location for the version based on the MAZ-7909 (my first guess would be near the headquarters of the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology), and the photo was taken down shortly after it was posted. Unfortunately, both TELs are missing the ejectable caps for the transportation-launch containers, and the MAZ-7909 version may be missing the extending foot that helps support the container during launch. The photos came from the militaryrussia.ru website.

It is in fact at MITT, sitting right here: 55.855436 N 37.600911 E

...and the KYMTR TEL is here: 48.585228 N 45.737674 E

Since the Oreshnik thread is still unopen for replies.

It's suspected that the Oreshnik is based off the MZKT-79291 Chassis, or a somewhat shortened one that keeps all 6 axles.

This is based on a model of the system seen in Lukashenko's office.
