Does the USA have an analogue of the RC-26 Rubzh rocket that can be fired by Ukraine-Defense Express

Medium and short range missiles from 1987 to 2019 were banned by the RSMD agreement. But it no longer works, because the Russian Federation violated him with his "Iskander-K" and PC-26 "Rubezh". But even the Soviet "Poplar" no longer meet the terms of the treaty. In 1987, the elimination of medium -range missiles, which was in service with the United States and the USSR. First of all, it was about the Soviet RSD-10 "Pioneer" and American Mgm-31 Pershing and Pershing II.

All these missiles were destroyed or deactivated by 1991 and became rare instances in museums. It should be added that NATO, not only in the US, had such ballistic missiles. In particular, the American Pershing I were in service with the Bundeswehr, but they were also removed from weapons, not without US pressure, in 1991. Pershing I missiles were released in the amount of approximately 750, up to 740 km. They carried one nuclear warhead with a capacity of 60 to 400 kiloton.

Also more than 270 Pershing II with a range of 2400 km and a nuclear charge of 5 to 80 kiloton. In the 1980s, in France, a medium-range ballistic missile of the S-3 mine base was on combat duty. In total, only 40 such rockets were produced, each of which was responsible for delivery of 3. 5 thousand km of nuclear warheads with a capacity of 1. 2 megaton. In 1999, Paris completed the process of their removal without replacement and dismantling of the starting infrastructure.

The destruction of the RSMD contract worked in both directions - and the United States also began to develop a means of long -range lesions previously forbidden. It's about LRHW - Long Range Hypersonic System Production Lockheed Martin. LRHW is, in fact, a medium -range rocket with a hypersonic glander that can affect targets with a range of 3,000 km. The cost of the rocket is $ 41 million. The problem is that the deployment of the first battery of LRHW in the US Army has moved to 2025.

The second battery for $ 756 million should be launched by February 2028. In general, the United States is planning to deploy up to five Multi-domain Task Forces, which should have one Lrhw battery. From the available weapons-one test division at Cape Canaveral at the disposal of Indo-Pacific command structures. In Europe, they do not think about the development of medium -range ballistic missiles.

The project Elsa is limited only by Land Cruise Missile - a deep modernization of Storm Shadow/Scalp for ground launchers. According to analysts, the Russian Federation can produce a large number of medium-range ballistic missiles much more faster than the LRHW PC-26. We will remind that in Ukraine there is hard waiting for a massive shelling on November 20. Focus also found out in his material whether the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation would hit the RC-26 Rubezh Rubezh in Ukraine.
