The United States remembered the program of "Star Wars" to defeat Russia and China

The United States intends to spend billions of dollars on preparations for a war in space with Russia and China. This was stated by the head of the Pentagon, James Mattis, reports the publication Express.

Our competitive advantages in all areas of warfare — in the air, on land and sea, in space and cyberspace — are being lost. We will modernize our equipment, recognizing that we cannot expect success in the struggle in tomorrow’s conflicts with yesterday’s weapons

- Said the US Secretary of Defense.

According to Mattis, the main field of the future war will be in space. While there is no question that the satellites will destroy each other. However, it is with their help that one can observe both the weather and the flights of enemy aircraft.

The head of the Pentagon expressed confidence that in space, the United States will be able to do everything to contain Russia and China. At the same time, he noted that the world needs special agreements on the control of armaments in space, reports Lenta.ru.

Recently, one was activated, and the United States considered it garbage and thought about it.

Yes Yes. I remember their reaction.

It is worth noting that one of the American highly maneuverable spaceships - the automatic mini-shuttle X-37B returned to Earth in early May 2017 after 718 days spent in low Earth orbit, which is a record for vehicles of this type.

The Air Force, which operates two X-37Bs, has always insisted that maneuverable mini-shuttles are exclusively experimental spacecraft, but refused to discuss the objectives of their missions. Just like Russians, with their patient, agile Cosmos companions.

This is a little butt, everything is ahead.

You are very mediocre acquainted with the very idea of ​​Status-6. One of its main highlights is that it is very effective against states such as the USA, CHINA, INDIA, and European countries, and is ineffective against the Russian Federation. Why? Yes, because industrial infrastructure and cities, for the most part, are not on the coast, but in the depths of the continent, in contrast to the above countries.

[KVU-NSVD]

Did I say something contrary to this concept? I suggest that deep-sea mines with powerful nuclear mines may well be located off the coast of the United States. There are, in principle, no obstacles to their manufacture, delivery, or issuing an activation order. Their long-term and safe operation at installation sites and guaranteed failure without a command raises questions. And so yes - the most effective use case is to detonate near densely populated coastal zones or natural anomalies like the California tectonic fault. It’s a pity you won’t put it into the Great Lakes. Though...

[NEXUS]

Quote: KVU-NSVD

Their long-term and safe operation at the installation sites is guaranteed by a guaranteed failure without a command.

Well, long-term operation at the point of probable undermining is not necessary ... everything can be done in rotation mode. One drone stood for three months, another came in its place, and this one went to the base for inspection. Everything is simple. At the same time, any of our submarines and even surface ships can be equipped with such drones-missiles.

[KVU-NSVD]

We just probably misunderstood each other. I believe that Status is only the development of a long-standing idea about the early delivery of the Last Argument to the United States in the form of bookmarks off the coast. Underwater drone with poison. charge and almost unlimited progress - this is in the spirit of time, technology and is suitable for operational "change of victim."

No, from the word at all. SDI is not financially and technologically up-to-date and now, unlike the budgetary Status-6. Developing a rocket torpedo for a submarine is much cheaper than putting satellites into orbit or developing an ICBM that needs to pass missile defense and fly over wild distances. often stands in a mine, whose location the adversary knows. Now try to detect and intercept the drone torpedo at a depth of a kilometer. And at such depths and missile defense can not be built.

[Bourbon]

Quote: NEXUS

Develop a missile torpedo for submarines is much cheaper

it’s not the price, but the real inevitable answer ... and a 600kg rocket (NFC) launched from a satellite - there is 100% hit on the target than the movement of the drone under water at great depths and very great distances, while the unknown may be stationary number of years and at the same time stay in work (wait for hour X) + where does it get? Just an explosion in the hope of infecting everyone with radiation and creating a tsunami? ... there are few guarantees ....

So you don’t take into account rotation at all? It came to its place, on duty for three months or half a year, and to the base for inspection and possible repairs, modernization, and another drone comes in its place. What’s the problem then? And with such drones you can stick around the entire coast of the United States and England relatively cheaply, and not build a Death Star, throwing trillions of dollars.

This was answered back in the Union ... The Amur missile defense (A-135) does not shoot down each BG separately, it begins with an AT and detonation occurs in space, forming an extensive zone covering the area of ​​movement of the BG swarm.

In view of the fact that the KK Federation is the fruit of a political order,
he is very unsuccessful in layout and concept,
and here we have to rejoice about the delays in its implementation
and hope that it will never be created.
For flights to the moon and into orbit of the earth,
it is quite enough Unions, or a new ship repeating at a new technical level its concept.
Although I believe there’s nothing to do in orbit
- you must fly immediately to the moon and make a permanent base there.

1. The IS has never had a recoilless gun. Only a charge of explosives. Radius of defeat up to 1 km in front and up to 400 meters in the opposite direction
2. "Diamond", aka "Salyut-3" was armed with a recoilless gun Nudelman as part of the defense complex "Shield-1". They planned to install the Shield-2 defense system at subsequent ones, but they did not install it on Salyut-5
3. Ready or partially finished fighters of the 80s? are in the bins? And who, sorry, need this trash now? The pattern of using "satellite fighters" is changing. Now this is not a banal charge of explosives that destroyed everyone, both their own and others, but more subtle tools, quite possibly working on other physical principles.
4. Orbital stations in the bins? Well, two unfinished “Diamonds”, about 5 years old, seemed to be still there, ours even suggested using them as tourist complexes for flying around the moon (together with the Americans). And so, a long time ago there are already no ready

It’s a pity you won’t put it into the Great Lakes. Though...

Well, if they are there, then one simple question. How are you going to carry out the regulation of nuclear charges?
Delivery barriers? Well, let's say such a question. Any inertial guidance system has an accumulation of error. Moreover, this accumulation is continuous. In an hour of running such a "Status" deviates by X kilometers. For more than 2 days of running, this error can result in XXXX kilometers. How will you carry out the correction? Further, this unit, the "Status" which has a diameter of 1,6 meters. Will there be a HOOK in the bow? What is this hack capable of? Track the distance to obstacles in all planes? And at what distance, if modern submarines sometimes have the entire bow, is a hull capable of seeing tens of kilometers, or even less? How will the "autopilot" work? After all, the speed of this "Status" under 200 km per hour. I’m not saying that he will rumble at the same time on the coast. How, how will the management system be built? Well, the main unit of guidance and control devices will be located between two cute little things. 100 megaton charge and reactor? Do you think that one and the other will not fonit? And there is something protection not observed
Now about guaranteed triggering "on command." Will it be a timer? Or something else? Or are you going to give a command to undermine an object lying at the bottom, at a depth of several hundred meters by conventional radio communications? Or will you transmit the team on extra-long waves for several hours? What if "Status" will accept him. which should not explode at this time ??? Is it under its own carrier boat?

Undermining the tectonic fault is really a thing. But for a change, take an interest in materials, preferably the 70s, why countries such as the USSR and the USA stopped developing tectonic weapons. You will be pleasantly surprised ...

The essence of the Status is to deliver an unacceptable blow, the prospect of which, neither the United States nor any other state will suit in principle.
And against the Russian Federation, Status-6 is not as terrible as the states I have listed.

Are you serious, Andrey? Most US industrial infrastructure on the coast ????

Yeah ... who are almost next to European territory, where everything is close. Go, tear it, and I'll see what comes back to Europe ..

Andrew! Do you seriously think that the Americans will bother the fate of the Baltic countries if they need to destroy shipbuilding capacities in St. Petersburg with such an underwater nuclear warhead? Even if we are not talking about a 100 mt charge, but a much smaller one, it will be enough for these factories located at the Neva’s outlet to the gulf to be washed away ...

Pass SF still need ....

What's so complicated? It turns out interesting double standards. So our "Status" is a priori considered non-interceptible, but from the analogue "the Northern Fleet must pass"? Are there facilities on the Northern Fleet that can intercept a similar vehicle at the same depths and speeds? Indeed, in order to flush Severodvinsk with a 100-mt charge, it is not at all necessary to deliver it to the very threshold .. The same saome and Severomorsk. Even blown up on the surface at the entrance to the Kola Bay will cover Murmansk, Severomorsk and other places of basing. And what will an underwater explosion do, or rather a wave, even if not at the very entrance to a sufficiently narrow Kola Bay?

Is our advantage in the Black Sea undeniable? Fear God, Andrew. Look at the fleet of the same Turkey on the Black Sea and what we have in the Black Sea. Which will prevent even the surface carrier of the “Status” analog from passing through the Bosphorus and shooting back as soon as it leaves Turkey’s turvod. Not to mention that, as a surface carrier, he can easily move to the central part of the Black Sea and we can’t do anything to him
Crimea is really not a floating barge. It is really very difficult for him to miss the RPO. Moreover, the "entrances" to Sevastopol and other targets are located, which is called with an orientation to the west

The essence of not only the Status, but also analogues in the United States inflict the same unacceptable damage on us. And they can do it as elementarily as we do. And the same damage will not suit us in principle. Because we will also lose all our fleet basing points. The Americans have a large number of bases scattered around the world. And he, or rather, its analogue will be as scary for us as it is for the Americans. In addition, I am very interested in this whole system associated with the delivery of these weapons to the enemy. I voiced questions a little higher. But I didn’t wait for an answer to them yet
