USA Today: The US Navy successfully tested Hawaii missiles.

The US military successfully shot down a medium-range ballistic missile as part of a missile defense test conducted on Wednesday in Hawaii, the newspaper reported USA Today with reference to the US Missile Defense Agency, reports RIA News.

USA Today: The US Navy successfully tested Hawaii missiles.


The missile target was launched from a base at Barking Sands in Hawaii. The interception was made by SM-6 anti-aircraft missiles from the destroyer John Paul Jones. This is the second successful test of a ballistic missile interception system using the SM-6.

Now we will continue to develop missile defense technology to outpace emerging threats.
The agency’s director, Lieutenant General Greaves himself, said, noting that the test was a "key milestone" in the development of American missile defense.

In late July, Washington conducted a successful test of the THAAD missile defense system in Alaska. In the THAAD missile defense system, the principle of “kinetic transatmospheric interception” is applied: the anti-missile missile system destroys the target with a direct hit, without the use of explosives. One missile can only remove a single target, the parameters of the trajectory of which are known quite accurately. Recall earlier that another American anti-missile SM-3 Block IIA, designed specifically for intercepting ballistic missiles, could not hit the target.

      - It was, in fact, a dumb blank. And normal missiles also shoot false targets. So it’s a little taut for the Yankees with anti-ballistic missiles.

        The separation of the head occurs at different stages. The danger of missile defense is that, being close to our borders, they can hit the warhead while it has not yet "landed" warheads.

          Flying at an altitude of 500 km in unfortunate conditions, the Eun-missile was unattainable for all types of missile defense in the form of Petriot, THAAD, Aegis. Only the GBI anti-missile, which is devoid of the Minuteman-3 stage, can do just that, but it cannot be near the border of the enemy. And since the depth of our territory is vast, then the border of our warheads will fly at an unattainable height of thaado-ajisam.

              There is no secret that the SM-3 anti-missile system hit the targets at altitudes of no more than 240-250 km during the tests, and that’s what you are guided by rather than loud statements. And ours are not indignant at the anti-missile capabilities, which, as it were, are not the case with the DPRK, but the Tomahawk missile is placed in a universal launcher and this cannot be controlled. Actually, the Supreme directly stated this. Actually, the trajectory of our ICBMs goes through the North Pole, and not the EU, which Aegis is. They drag the land Tomahawks, because sea ​​threats can’t threaten us much, at least Tomahawk can fly from Eastern Europe at least two hours, but an hour to our centers, consolation is insignificant for them, but nevertheless a secret violation of the RSDM agreement, we don’t remain indebted to universal BR and KR for the Iskander complex. Well, the Gauges, which you can put in addition to the fleet in sea containers and carry by road and rail.

              So they tell you Russian in white and white that you can put tomahawks working on ground targets in unified launchers like MK-41. And this is a violation of the INF Treaty. Either you are not very literate, or you are not stupidly listening.

      Yes, I think that Eun strongly stepped in their place, by launching a rocket through Japan. And all the democratic countries together missed this moment. The authority of Omerika falls more and more among its own, soon with pissing rags they will throw in the direction of the United States)

        Comrade Eun wouldn’t launch a rocket through the territory of Japan if he hadn’t been sure at 100% that they would not be knocked down.
        And only one person could guarantee Eunu a safe flight over Japan.
        And this man works in the Kremlin.

      If there was Hollywood, then we would not have been informed of unsuccessful interceptions.
      And they regularly inform about them. The missile defense system is being developed as usual.
      development of missile defense took place. First, for each aircraft
      three missiles, then the standard was the launch of two, today sometimes they launch one.

        Given the latest scandal with Yuzhmash, I would not say that Kim has such a wild lag. Smart people say that they will have a shared warhead for a year or two. There is a lag from Russia and the USA, but they are catching up with China and Israel.

    It’s strange .. They intercepted the intercept, but they didn’t shoot the start of the alleged ballistic target missiles, they didn’t post the flight map .. The mattresses are wise, they seem to be lying, they don’t want to spoil their image and exclusivity with unsuccessful launches ...

    The delivery of two F-35 fighters, which were supposed to be delivered to Israel before the end of the month, has been postponed.

    According to The Jerusalem Post, the US Air Force decided to postpone the delivery of F-35 aircraft until the completion of the inspection due to technical malfunctions found on other aircraft of this type in the United States, reports TASS.

    A serious application for zonal tactical missile defense.
    And it saddens that she can sink ships too:

    Yah? Go to the Rayton website or the missile defense agency website (USA) and look at the weight of these "classified" data. It’s very convenient to refer to secrecy. Nothing is required.

    Apparently with Russian, you are at odds. The essence of the information is that an interceptor missile can intercept the warheads of medium-range missiles. Not that Americans have medium-range missiles

    Yes, this uncaught rocket was given to you !!! In the world there are only two types of interceptor missiles, which theoretically were able to intercept this missile. This is the "Standard SM-3 Block IIA" and the GBI ground-based interceptor missile.
    Standard Korean missile is a little short of the apogee, but if there were ships with such missiles there could theoretically be shot down, since this version of the interceptor has an intercept range of 1500 km and a reach of 500 km in height.
    The second is the American GBI. She has an intercept range of 5000 km and a reach in height of the EMNIP of either 2000 or 2500. And this missile was in the affected area of ​​this complex. But why shoot at the falling one. disc when she did not threaten anyone ....

    Not tired of chewing this chewing gum? Tell me. We stand, for example, at a training base where there are three trench stands. You and I have shotguns capable of hitting a plate at a distance of, for example, 100 meters. We famously knock plates. But then suddenly, not from a neighboring stand, but from the one that is located through one of us they launch a plate. The distance, for example, is 800 meters. Will we shoot at her? Logic tells us we won’t. But there are hundreds who will say: Why didn’t they hit that plate? You don’t know how to shoot?
    This is certainly allegorical, but when you start talking about the technical parameters of interception, people don’t perceive it. We got hung up on that, since they didn’t bring down, then they can’t do it at all, then they saw cut and show
    As I wrote above - DID NOT HAVE they have ships in that area equipped with the SM-3 Block IIA Standard missile system. In Japan, only the Patriots and ships with an earlier version of the Standard (intercepted, but at significantly lower altitudes). Japan is just planning on the Asher system. TSAAD in South Korea has not yet reached operational readiness

    And now the result of this North Korean launch, which many admire so much.
    1. DID NOT HAVE ships with such missiles - NOW WILL. REDISE
    2. DID NOT HAVE in Japan of the Aegis Asher complex (only planned) - NOW WILL BE. With almost 100% probability
    3. There were protests in South Korea on the occasion of the deployment of the TCAAD complex - now protests WILL NOT BE, but deployed ADDITIONAL BATTERY, possibly not only in the South Caucasus, but also in Japan

    That is, this type of weapon was not in that region, now thanks to Eun, it will be. so whose mill does he pour water on ???

      Duc, on the same as before ... The game is serious, at stake are millions of lives, but, nevertheless, this is a game. And in relation to game terminology, Eun “holds the ball”, pulling out an opponent (in this case, mattresses with knees). A sort of “reference midfielder”, a center-field player who pays more attention to defense than attack. And when the opponent as a whole team advances to “take the ball”, there should be an instant pass forward to the player (s) of the attack. Further, it all depends on the skill of the attackers. Well, in this case, the “attack group” (if that) is quite numerous, and consists of “world football stars”. Who specifically constitutes the attack group? Yes, the same, Mes-Si and Ross-Si. Something like this. Often, such projections allow you to see a more or less objective alignment. hi

      Not tired of chewing this chewing gum?

      This is still a big question who is chewing this gum here.
      This is certainly allegorical, but when you start talking about the technical parameters of interception, people don’t perceive it. We got hung up on that, since they didn’t bring down, then they can’t do it at all, then they saw cut and show

      This is not a cut and a show, but a banal boast and unwillingness to actually reflect the threat that they have been screaming at the top of their head for the last month.
      As I wrote above, they did NOT have ships in that area equipped with the SM-3 Block IIA Standard missile system. In Japan, only the Patriots and ships with an earlier version of the Standard (intercepted, but at significantly lower altitudes).

      The question is WHY there wasn’t ..? it's because the Americans just recently shouted in all the media that if Eun once again dares to launch his missile and it threatens the territory of the USA, guam or someone from the allies of Japan or South Korea, then they will knock it off ..? Or will you argue that the Americans did not say this ..? I’m even silent about Japan, they almost literally repeated everything after the Americans. So if you gentlemen make such statements officially in SM, then please be kind enough to deploy the necessary forces and means in the right place at the right time. Moreover, the USA, South Korea and Japan constantly monitor launches of New missiles and know their flight paths, apogee, etc. And if they made such statements but did not deploy the appropriate forces and means in advance, then who are they after that? ? What to call them? Actually, in certain circles such people are called in one word - balabol. And this is still very softly said.
      And now the result of this North Korean launch, which many admire so much.
      1. There were NO ships with such missiles - NOW. REDISE
      2. THERE WAS NOT AEGIS-ASHER complex in Japan (only planned) - NOW WILL. With almost 100% probability
      3. There were protests in South Korea on the occasion of the deployment of the THAAD complex - now there WILL NOT be protests, but an EXTRA BATTERY will be deployed, possibly not only in the South Caucasus, but also in Japan

      Yes, not a fact. But even if they do, then WHY has all this not been in the right place at the right time ..? But they are not the first day, or even the first year, to shout about the North Korean missile threat.? So if this is actually such a serious threat to them, according to them, then WHY have they still done NOTHING to prevent this threat ..? It turns out that this threat is far-fetched, or all of their anti-missile defense tools are blatant bullshit. One out of two.
      further .. on the THAAD .. When it was deployed in South Korea, how many months ago .. reached operational readiness ..? Then the question arises: what the hell is such a complex that even after almost a year after deployment has not yet reached operational readiness.? And when, and most importantly, after how long does it reach it. And what is actually the real and not the advertised combat value of this complex ..?
      There were protests in South Korea on the occasion of the deployment of the THAAD complex - now there WILL NOT be any protests, but an EXTRA BATTERY will be deployed, possibly not only in the South Caucasus, but also in Japan

      So let's not draw any conclusions regarding this issue, especially for Koreans.
      That is, this type of weapon was not in that region, now thanks to Eun, it will be. so whose mill does he pour water on ???

      Well, of course .. It's so convenient to blame everything on one Un. And the rest of the USA, South Korea, Japan, they have nothing to do with it and in general they are all white and fluffy ..? This is a respected geopolitics .. But it is not so simple ... The Americans and the South Koreans did not refuse joint exercises, although they were asked about this by Russia and China ..? Do not refuse. Against whom are they conducting exercises ..? Against Eun. AI they do not hide this, officially announcing the purpose of their teachings .. This is not a provocation ..? This is not a military threat to a sovereign and independent state ..? And HOW do you think should respond to all this Eun ..? personally surrender to the Americans and voluntarily go to The Hague to an international tribunal ..? As they say thank you, do not wait. And as for this weapon, there wouldn’t be such a thing. But the Americans should have invented it, because to place this type of weapon in this region they have long had plans. They just need a reason. And the Americans will always find a reason. It doesn't matter if Eun or not.

      You are certainly right, but the fulfillment of all the points listed by you will require considerable effort and resources from the United States, weakening missile defense in other areas, changing the system of lighting the situation and controlling forces, etc.
