Something about the Sarmat and R-36M series ICBM

This test took place near Yasny ,Orenburg region, the site of last year's accident, should using a Dnepr rocket silo (in Yasny, Dnepr rocket only used two silos).

Sarmat's first-stage tank appears to be longer, while the second-stage tank is smaller (considering the angle, the difference is still significant).

The layout of the Sarmat's interstage and second-stage may differ from the R-36Ms (a new second-stage engine was used? The sarmat's interstage has no openings, while R-36Ms normally has four openings.).

The fuel tank manufacturing process is different (refer to R-36M2 in Ukraine rocket museum and "combat approved" TV show ).

Sarmat has FOBS capability (hello ,R-36orb).

A new gray coating was used, but the fairing was not coated with this layer (the fairings of Russia's current Topol-M series and Sarmat seem to lack this coating You can see a texture similar to carbon fiber).

The command center footage used by TASS is likely from a training facility in RVSN's Military Academy.

How did the Soviet Union change the fuel in its plutonium production reactors that could generate electricity?

I consulted Wikipedia. Similar to the Soviet Annushka and Hanford Sites, these LWGR reactors used river water for cooling, so their process tubes were not pressurized, allowing uranium fuel to be added to the reactor at any time.

Later, the situation changed. The Soviet EI-2 ADE series reactors could used steam for power generation, but I didn't find the fuel reloading machines used in the reactor halls, similar to that used in the RBMK reactors; there were only simple cranes. How did they change fuels?

The RBMK fuel reloading machines' chambers appear to be pressurized, and after connecting to the process tubes, they change fuel like a revolver, without requiring reactor shutdown.

Do ADE and EI-2 only using valves or similar structures to isolate the process tubes preparing for refueling from the operating reactor?

Are these boxes the transmitter units of the DON-2N AESA radar?

I found this picture on a blog by Russians visiting it. It appears to be the interior of the DON2N radar transmitter (the square antenna to the right of the circular antenna).

Does each box represent a transmitting antenna, or does each box "drive" multiple antennas like a mini-led display(a led backlight bulb "drive" multiple pixels)?

The Untold Story of China's Nuclear Weapon Development and Testing

It seems to contain a large amount of information from Chinese sources. Can anyone fact-check it? Or are there any works on similar themes?

I bought this band around early 2024. Besides the nylon band, it's the one I wear most often, to the point that I can feel some wear on the parts that touch my skin. The color flakes became more pronounced with use like the rocks exposed by the tide on the coast.. A few days ago, I noticed a crack of about 1 mm appeared on it.; it seems the color flakes design make the band become alittle more fragile.

Compared to the currently available Veiled Grey, I much prefer its rich color flake design. I should have bought one earlier!
