The expert estimated the power of US orbital radar

Orbital radar could help the US track hypersonic targets, but cannot make any contribution to intercepting such high-precision weapons, declared RIA News Russian military expert, chief editor of the Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine, Viktor Murakhovsky.

Earlier, the head of the Strategic Command of the US Armed Forces, General John Heithen, stated that the States needed to develop an orbital-based radar system to counter hypersonic weapons, since ground-based detection systems are not enough. Such a system, as the general explained, will be able to follow the rocket in the middle of the trajectory when the warhead is separated from the carrier and is in the upper atmosphere.

Radar is a means of detection and target designation, it is not a fire weapon, not a means of destruction. Therefore, apparently, he (Heiten - ed.) Suggests that the possibility of detecting launches of a hypersonic weapon at an earlier stage will somehow help in countering such a weapon.

- said Murakhovsky.

He noted that the main task in repelling missile strikes lies on antimissiles. Missile defense missiles can intercept ballistic targets, conventional ICBMs flying along a "predictable, calculated" trajectory. In the case of hypersonic blocks, no anti-missile can operate "at such speeds and such temperatures simply on the basis of the laws of physics."

Therefore, if we are talking about the latest maneuvering systems of hypersonic armament, which the Russian president introduced yesterday, then in this case, a radar located in space can only help to track down and give a signal in time "urgently everyone to the bunker who has it"

After the United States creates such a world, it will become even closer to the fateful line. But we must think that when designing such systems, the antidote is thought out if the enemy creates such. Here is the race for advancing.

As if from this it will be easier for them to go to the other world? This reminded me of a joke in which the doctor asked if the patient had sweated or not sweated before his death. So what is the usefulness of American radars in orbit?

Yes, and I about the same

"urgently everything to the bunker whoever has it"

Well completed expert. This is not the first time that American generals have shown their lack of professionalism, but when possible additional money looms, you can ignore it.

Be that as it may, there was a shield on every sword over time. As time passes, both ours and the Americans will learn to intercept hypersound. How much will it cost a big question. There is no perfect weapon of attack. There is no perfect remedy.

Hypersonic missiles work at the limit of the capabilities of materials, and in order to intercept them you need to exceed their characteristics several times, which contradicts the laws of physics. Therefore, you can get them only with weapons that work on, as they say, other physical principles, and in order to create this, you need to make a revolution in fundamental science, which in my opinion is unlikely.

[JonnyT]

Americans are betting on the interception of hypersonic missiles at the initial stage of the trajectory. when the hypersonic apparatus has not yet been dispersed. In their understanding, the booster block works first, then the hypersonic warhead is separated - this is where they want to shoot them down

An equally probable option is to establish contact with a civilization with similar technologies.

If necessary, both these radars and communication satellites will knock down before launching an attack. War is War

Parity will simply be established. If anyone applies, then 100% destroy each other. All the same, the American missile defense allowed us to strike at us and not get an answer (purely theoretically).

What, damn it, radars (ground, air, space) after a high-altitude explosion of leading nuclear warheads?

[DimerVladimer]

Missile defense can intercept ballistic targets, conventional ICBMs flying along a “predictable, calculated” trajectory. In the case of hypersonic units, not a single missile can operate "at such speeds and temperatures just based on the laws of physics" ..

simply put, it launches a rocket at the predicted (calculated) point of the trajectory.
In the maneuvering unit, this guidance principle does not work.
