Russians first began to use outdated engines on rockets X-101: What is known (photo)
It is reported that this is the first recorded case of such a combination of a modern cruise missile and an outdated Soviet engine. Only part of the X-101 missiles used during the rocket strike on November 17 were provided with the P-95-300 engines. The marker is a marker on the installation of such an engine. As a rule, such rockets are completed with Russian TRDD-50A engines.
It is reported that such engines of the Russian Federation do not produce, so it is likely that they are taken from old Soviet reserves. Or, perhaps, they are removed from the rest of the winged missiles X-55. It is also noted that the production of rocket permutic engines in the Russian Federation is a weak place in the production chain. Earlier, P-95-300 engines, except for "native" winged X-55 missiles, were noticed in almost all controlled aviation missiles X-59 (MK, MK2).
The P-95-300 engine was produced in a large series, sometimes the production volume reached 1500 units. After the USSR in Russia, they tried to replace engines for strategic winged missiles-and the development of mass production of TRDD-50 Omsk development began. In Russian strategic winged missiles "Air-Earth" the technology of reducing radar visibility is implemented.
