This was a very complex project involving mass modernization of USSR railway system - thousand km of railways reconstructed for these trains. Unbelievably, in the early 80s the first fiber optic networks were laid along the railroads to exchange information with High Command and provide exact location with hybrid navigation systems, special tracks were equipped to launch missiles and so on. This project was effective but very expensive.

[@avetl]

@@user-nu1vn3yy9s Were you the curator of this project? How did you define "total failure"? At that time, liberals declared everything a "total failure", including submarines, over-the-horizon radars, space weapons deployment, and victories in wars. The merit of these trains is that the concepts of mobile ICBM launches were developed on their basis, and without that the Topols and Yars simply did not take place. And time has shown that the mobile ICBM launch makes serious difficulties in any attempts to intercept missiles in the early stage of flight.

Most of the training we had in the Soviet strategic special operations ( GRU number undisclosed) was to liquidate ( destroy or incapacitate) Chinese Dhungh Class nuclear ballistic systems that were train mobile platforms and usually located in heavily guarded mountain tunnels. The idea was to use the steel jacket AK 47 round to disable the outer communications conus of the ballistic tip , rendering the system unguidable while fending off about 1000 - 3000 armed PLA guards with a team of about 7 men LOL plus the officer . Our team would usually be assigned a KGB officer or a Spetznas lieutenant , he would be supplied with a portable NSZ style nuclear backback, the dialer would let you control variable yield up to about 20 KT. the Idea here was if you got close to the Chinese missile and it is not visibly refueling therefore not exposed to visible gunfire. The nuclear backpack could be setup to detonate in the vicinity you would have to be close enough to either seal the tunnel but hopefully liquidate the missile entirely. The fallback plan would be that upon supposed "success" a helicopter will come to extract you in the morning. ./.....Even though you are literally 1000 miles inland China, with a possible nuclear war taking place.

[@briannem.6787]

they could park up in a yard if they run out of tracks to run on. Not ideal, but they'd still be fairly well disguised there. Also, the USSR has a lot of tracks. I think by the time they'd destroyed all the tracks, the nukes would already be fired

[@mickeym5696]

This train was not built in a single copy. There were usually several of them on the railroad on any given day.

[@EstorilEm]

How would that help? If the US was actively attacking the USSR homeland in an effort to prevent a nuclear retaliatory strike, the trains would just stop and launch their missiles wherever they were. They didn’t need to travel or hide anymore, their mission was achieved and the fact that the US had to hit the tracks and not the train would hypothetically imply that the trains all survived, thus so did their missiles.

[@themuchachos4168]

Imagine one of these nuke trains derailing randomly in a city...

[@quillmaurer6563]

I don't know as much about Soviet ICBMs, but from what I know of American ICBMs that would be pretty bad - though not because of the nuclear warhead. American nuclear warheads are designed to not go off even in a plane crash, numerous such crashes happened and none have gone off. I think in one case the conventional explosives went off but no nuclear detonation. A train crash probably wouldn't set off something designed to withstand a plane crash. I don't know if Soviet warheads had similar safeguards, based on other US-vs.-Soviet comparisons I'm guessing they had less safeguards than American ones but were still designed to not go off in a wreck. The bigger danger though is the rocket's fuel. I'm pretty sure these are liquid-fuel rockets, and for a portable ready-to-launch rocket they'd need "shelf-stable" fuels that don't require cryogenic temperatures, and ignite on contact - meaning hypergolic fuels such as hydrazine. These are extremely reactive, the tank bursting open would almost immediately explode, and are also incredibly toxic.

[@osasunaitor]

@@quillmaurer6563 true. In the 1960s, two USA military planes collided during a maneuver over Spain. One of them was a B52 bomber carrying 4 nuclear warheads. Two of the bombs were released with an emergency parachute and landed safely, one on land and another on the sea. They were retrieved intact shortly after. The other two bombs couldn't be released and crashed into the ground, they were completely destroyed and the radioactive material evaporated in the air (some areas were temporarily contaminated as a result of the accident), but without activating the nuclear reaction that would have caused an atomic explosion. Thanks to the emergency safeguards built into these bombs, a potentially catastrophic result was avoided and the whole accident "only" killed 7 of the crew members from the crashed aircraft.

[@user-ty4xt8rw5b]

@@quillmaurer6563 these rockets are solid fuel and they probably have the best protection against damage or launch, so I found a more detailed documentary video kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5nZoYqMbqhoqaM

[@quillmaurer6563]

@@user-ty4xt8rw5b That video has a lot of good info, thanks! I was wrong, they were solid fuel. Early ICBMs were crygogenic fuels, next were hypergolic, then eventually solid. I would imagine that to be far less dangerous than hyergolic fuels, though if it were to be ignited - say if the whole train caught on fire in a wreck - it could still cause some serious problems. But it would take a pretty serious fire, caused by more than just the train itself, to do that - such as a collision with an oil train that set everything on fire (like in the Lac-Megantic disaster). But in a situation like that everything is pretty screwed regardless of the missile, the fire/explosion from the oil train would probably do more damage than anything the missile might cause so long as the warheads don't go off (which even in that situation they shouldn't).

[@j-twd930]

@@osasunaitor Aren't nukes fail-safe regardless? They aren't fragile at all and require extremely precise detonation of the regular high explosives surrounding the core otherwise it won't even detonate at all. Even a "live" nuclear warhead coming towards a city, if it was intercepted by another missile, won't do anything at all (besides spreading a bit of radioactive material, but that should be completely negligent, because the radioactive stuff are a few kilograms at most, spread over a huge region of sky)

It doesn't make sense to develop this type of system without letting your opponent know you have it. If your opponent thinks it knows were all your missiles are located, the likelihood it will do a first strike increases. Maybe the Soviets leaked the existence of the rail system, so America wouldn't risk a first strike.

They knew that it would leak sooner or later anyway.

@@larsjonasson2959 You're probably right. In fact, they wouldn't even have to develop the system. Just doing everything they could trying to keep it a secret, would convince the U.S. they had it. This would force the U.S. to spend a bunch of money to defeat the non existent system. I'm beginning to wonder if the Russians really did have it.
