Russian Foreign Ministry: Russia admits a military response to the deployment of US missile defense in South Korea

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov commented on the deployment and expansion of the THAAD missile defense system near the Russian borders. He said that these actions by the United States could raise the question of Moscow’s military response.

If all this happens at such an alarming rate, inevitably at some point, probably, the question will arise about our response in the military sense of the word, in creating some kind of counterbalances. I do not want to anticipate anything. But it’s impossible to take things apart from the context.

- Ryabkov told reporters commenting on the deployment of THAAD in South Korea, reports RIA News

He stressed that Moscow did not hide the negative attitude towards these plans, the implementation of which has now accelerated.

The systems of over-atmospheric interception of the head parts on the descending part of the trajectory, if I am allowed to translate the THAAD abbreviation into Russian, they are easily integrated into the missile defense systems of longer range, greater power, if you want. And all this becomes elements of an integrated American missile defense system.

- The diplomat added.

In July, the United States and South Korea agreed to deploy the THAAD system, which would, if necessary, intercept North Korean ballistic missiles. THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) is designed for high-altitude over-atmospheric interception of missiles, allegedly, of short and medium range.
The deployment of THAAD is worrying China and Russia, because it threatens the strategic balance in the region. Japan, on the contrary, endorsed these plans, noting that the placement of THAAD would contribute to peace and stability.

Reaction time and flight time always matter. They pressed a button and in a few minutes Nagasaki will fly apart. You don’t need to lift a plane into the air, you don’t have to prepare a pilot, etc. Also, do you not understand that using a mobile complex is always cheaper than raising a plane, dropping a nuclear submarine, etc. A little salary for a PU-tractor, schnapps for personnel, so that bloody boys did not dream Shekels however

Well, unguided missiles may be shot down from behind the scenes, because their flight path is miscalculated, but the Iskander rocket can change the flight path and speed - its hobby.

We protect ourselves in Russia, and not someone. How do we know that the Americans deploy missiles not against time. The Americans told us that we are placing missiles in Europe against Iran, but it turned out against us. America to believe, do not trust yourself, anything can be expected from them With our air defense, it awakens to live there calmer. Missiles in the USA are unpredictable; they can fly in our direction. The British and experienced an American rocket experienced in the ocean. Take it and flew towards England, it’s good that there is a self-destruction system.

And finally, you can ask 50 gigabaks per year for security. Modifications forty-eighth Six faster and higher than any THAAD

The enemy is sneaking up to our borders under any pretext, then he doesn’t like Iran or they don’t like him. How many American military bases around the world? They have all the troops on the road.

[Nasrat]

The enemy has already crept to our borders ... Between the territories of the USA and Russia 4 km!

(in the middle of the Bering Strait are the Diomede Islands: Ratmanova Island - the larger and located to the west, and the island of Kruzenshtern. According to the agreement on the sale of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands (1867), the border of Russia and the United States runs in the middle between the islands. Ratmanova Island belongs to Russia, and the island of Kruzenshtern - USA. Thus, the minimum distance between the islands is just over 4 km.)

Right words. Striped are provoked.

[geon]

But I wonder how the trajectory is calculated during the interception? if from a surface mine, according to a known object, then there are no questions, but if from a mobile installation? because this system of kinetic action, that is, at such speeds even + - 1 meter is a lot ??? can a missile defense maneuver? and if a ballistic missile maneuvers?

[Vlad.by]

So that's the point!
And then, all of them successfully completed the test ... after two misses. And this despite the fact that the trajectory of the target is known even before the start!
In our case, especially if the “air pressure receiver” in the form of a bucket is forgotten to be removed before the start and it, the bucket, will fly off when breeding heads - where will that interceptor fly?

[voyaka uh]

"and if from a mobile installation?" ///

No difference. When there are several coordinate points in flight and speed,
then the entire ballistic trajectory is easily calculated by the computer.

"Can a missile defense maneuver?" ////

It is not a missile defense that maneuvers, but its 3rd stage - the Kinetic Killer apparatus.
he has his own engine and gas rudders.

"and if a ballistic missile maneuvers?" ///

That interception is very difficult. Another thing is that maneuvering a BR (or warheads) is
total maximus + - 2-3 degrees from the main trajectory. But the killer has eyes: IR optics

This is what the American missile defense scheme looks like
On the left - on takeoff - more dreams. In the center - in the middle of the trajectory - knocks down Aegis. On the right - on the descent - they are shot down by the THAAD and Patriot.
But, as you rightly noted, even a small slip is fatal for the defender.

[svp67]

He said that these US actions could raise the question of Moscow’s military response.

Here, I don’t understand the word “CAN” ... US actions simply oblige Russia to take retaliatory steps

[Grach-25sm]

It means that North Korea will soon have not only a thermonuclear bomb, but also hypersonic raktects. Interestingly, while at Yuzhmash they did similar research in Soviet times? Yes, they probably did!
On the other hand, let the Americans push another billions of dollars into the TCAAD than during the war in the Donbass or the destabilization of the situation in Belarus or Transnistria, Armenia, Abkhazia, Ossetia ...

[raw174]

Trump approved the supply of arms and equipment to South Korea for "many billions of dollars", even to sell to Japan and you can close the theme of North Korea, the goals are achieved, let them live on as they want!

[SergF123]

I wonder what kind of atmospheric missile defense it will intercept missiles flying towards South Korea?!?! Indeed, to launch a nuclear warhead of North Korea to South, it is not necessary to launch a rocket into space, and art can be reached to Seoul!))))

[irazum]

And we always have "strange" friends, to put it mildly. They love to live on credit, which they NEVER repay, they really want our boys to die in their countries when they themselves are sitting in coffee houses with hookahs. They don’t put anything into the opinion of our country, in particular the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then, when they climb deep into another cow’s flat, they start screaming: “help, save!”. With such "friends" no enemies are needed!
