Deceptive Dream ("Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists", USA)NATO is trying to thrust Russians into the pharynx of an imaginary ballistic missile defense system, which, if it worked - and it does not work - could be used against Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles

The dream of a shield that protects against atomic bombs, appeared at the dawn of the nuclear era. This idea has always been deceptively simple: create missiles that can shoot down intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads that fly from the Soviet Union across the ocean to the United States (or vice versa). Although this is the same as trying to shoot down a bullet with a bullet or an arrow, there have always been political and military leaders who are confident that this is feasible. The last attempt was made 27 years ago, when the Reagan administration launched the Strategic Defense Initiative, and since then, the agencies responsible for missile defense have continued to go towards their goal.

Independent scientists and engineers from the United States and Russia consistently evaluate past attempts as failures and wrote several detailed reports that show why the plans of such an anti-missile defense system are technically impractical. However, despite criticism from a technical point of view and negative test results, the US government continued to insist that the program is being carried out successfully. Until recently.

A report of few people, published in September by 2011 by the Scientific Committee on Defense, an independent advisory body under the US Department of Defense, identified three serious problems with the ballistic missile defense being developed by early interception. Apparently, (1), none of the necessary radars in the framework of the defense system of the European phased adaptive approach is powerful enough to cope with the tasks, (2), none of the available anti-missile sensors are able to distinguish warheads from false targets and other outsiders, and (3) American intelligence has already watched the launch of foreign ballistic missiles capable of shooting false targets and taking other countermeasures. So, after 27 years of development and expenditure of 150 billion dollars, there is no effective anti-missile “shield” - it remains just a dream.

Judging by the news of this report, we can conclude that missile defense, which we have heard about for many years, has ordered to live long. The system that Russia regards as a threat to its security does not work and, even if problems can be solved - and this is a big “if” - the system will remain inoperative for many years.

But on the eve of the NATO summit, something funny happened. In the run-up to the May 20 meeting in Chicago, NATO officials continue to talk about missile defense as if it already existed; it is expected that at the end of the month they will announce new plans for cooperation on its deployment in Europe. Moreover, these same officials are angry with Russia for stating the possibility of a preemptive strike on the system if it is deployed. Apparently, Russia has enough spirit to consider the proposed system as a threat to its missiles. Alas, for such a thinking, Russia deserved a reproach from the head of NATO, who called the position of the Russians "unfounded."

We will be very clear: NATO is trying to thrust Russians into the pharynx of an imaginary ballistic missile defense system, which, if it worked - and it does not work - could be used against Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles. Since NATO treats this system as if it exists in reality, Russia has to interpret it in the same way. And so Russia insists that in the event of a missile defense system deployment, it will disable it, although the system is not able to cope with the tasks assigned. Thus, NATO and Russia are ready to gnaw each other's throats for a weapon system that does not work as it should, and if it worked, could reasonably be considered a threat to the interests of Russia, although NATO denies this. Truly, "the secret, covered with darkness, seven seals." But now the mystery covered in darkness is no longer Russia, as Winston Churchill proclaimed in 1939, but NATO’s plans to create an anti-missile defense.

However, it is possible to hope that this riddle can be solved. As I learned from Ted Postol, an expert on ballistic missiles from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, there are already informal discussions between engineers and missile defense experts from the United States and Russia to clarify their missile defense plans. The meeting of scientists from the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University and the Committee of Scientists for Global Security of the Russian Academy of Sciences in September 2011 resulted in a joint statement on cooperation in the field of missile defense, which recognized Russia's concerns about the American phased adaptive approach involving the deployment of missiles -interceptors and radar in close proximity to the Russian border.

In addition, the statement outlines four principles on which cooperation in the field of ballistic missile defense should be based: (1), missile defense should contribute, together with Russia, to the security of the Euro-Atlantic region; (2) NATO must take into account the possible impact of the deployment of missiles on Russia, and Russia must take into account NATO’s concern about possible missile threats from Iran; (3) ballistic missile defense plans should not create obstacles to strategic cooperation between the United States and Russia and (4) cooperation in the field of missile defense should be based on the principles of transparency and openness.

The most promising outcome of the regular meeting of the two groups, held in March, was a proposal to American and Russian rocket experts on joint research and development of an “advanced active protection” system, which should replace the current - inoperable - phased adaptive approach. The joint development of a new system would have at least two advantages: firstly, it would promote the development of strategic cooperation between the United States and Russia, and, secondly, could lead to the creation of a workable system. We hope that NATO officials will be aware of the cooperation proposal before the summit, which will be held at the end of the month. It is a pity if NATO and Russia will bicker because of the system, which turns out to be a mirage.

    It's amazing to read and hear such conclusions from a Western (even American) expert! Something "died in the forest" or he is the spokesman for another (non-military) lobby in the states. Sounds convincing enough. if you remember the epic with the "unsurpassed" SDI and how, in fact, it all turned out to be a bluff, and the USSR, anyway, as a result, fell apart. Is not the current missile defense the second, rather inept in its similarity, round of attempts to powder our brains? But, judging by the statements of the Russian side about the opposition of "asymmetric" measures, the SDI lesson is not badly preserved in the memory of the Russians, and appropriate conclusions are being drawn.

          Poor, poor Americans have come to the point that the wild Muscovites no longer believe them. They may actually have gotten a puncture, they are sincerely trying to apologize now, and the wild Russians not only created missiles that could really overcome an unreal system, they also aimed their missiles. Now they’re sitting and thinking, yes it’s, they didn’t even calculate it ... And we’re doing it right, we don’t believe, that's enough, and so we got divorced in the 80-90s.

            Yeah, there’s also enough arrogance to talk about Russia helping to create this missile defense system. So, they themselves certainly do not blind anything good (for themselves), except for a stink, such as a dead cat near the borders of Russia. And there is nobody to steal the system from, so they are trying to lure Russia into development to help. And it’s already in excess of impudence - to put it under the window and knock on the window to the owner and ask for toilet paper. Brr-rr

But, every nation has an instinct for self-preservation, which is included in the critical moments of its history. Everyone goes through it in their own way, but, in most cases, they are cleansed of "filth." After all, not all Americans are complete villains. There are also many sane people who are crushed by "public opinion". The ball is ruled by capital, and if you really want to, it's the ruling elite and its superstructure, fooling ordinary people.

                Good afternoon.
                And what can they do?
                They have cancer of the brain (main) brain, they are no longer able to moderate their needs and as a result (with the collapse of finance and economy), they are left with some kind of "victorious" war. Although any gain, in any war, will only hasten their end.
                Due to the collapse of the USSR, they got the opportunity for the expansion of the dollar in new territory, i.e. strengthened their "financial pyramid". Now, in ANY scenario, it will not be possible to expand the zone of influence of the dollar and, as a result, the collapse of the pyramid (MMM), plus on 21.12.2012/XNUMX/XNUMX the FRS ends the lease of the printing press and the question of debts will probably arise.
                This is where the whistle can begin.
                And given the level of population of the population .....

                Homeless America will now also become hungry.

        - Some may be mistaken in assessing missile defense readiness, others may underestimate it. Dangerous for us are those who overestimate their capabilities, their security and, as a result, may decide on "big stupidity". The statement about counteraction, about a preemptive strike on missile defense is not a subtle hint, it is addressed precisely to those who overestimate themselves.
        For those who are completely stupid, it should be said even more specifically: Iskanders will certainly fly in to replace missile defense systems that have flown away to us (in our direction). fellow

        Not necessarily .. Just one more reason to understand that the American pull with missile defense is not only politics, but also the economy in the form of multi-billion dollar contracts for military research and production .. And in this case, those interested in science and industry do not give a damn how effectively their offspring works and whether they work at all at a given moment, the main thing is the process of development of allocated funds. As an example, F-117, and now also a raptor, which seems to me to be a classic example of a wild cut of the Pentagon’s military budget .. But this does not mean that money is allocated and spent (even taking into account the cut) in vain. Sooner or later, the amount of money allocated can go into quality, and then it will be too late to reflect. In this regard, Putin rightly said in due time that the potential issues are of primary importance in missile defense issues now. The author of the article at the time of writing was focused only on the current capabilities of the system (more precisely, on their absence), but does not describe his vision of the potential if the fundamental problems of the system are suddenly overcome one day.

          How can one not recall Khrushchev’s demarche, which, in response to the deployment of American missiles in Turkey, secretly sent Soviet missiles to Cuba? Of course, the world experienced unpleasant moments, but the Americans began to respect us as a full partner. Today, the world will not be on the brink of war if Russia begins to develop a missile defense plan for its allies in Latin America, for example, from the consequences of a possible conflict between Britain and Argentina. And who are our allies, if not Chavez and Ortega, who, without hesitation, recognized the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia? Now is the most favorable moment to seek an ally in the person of the same Christina Fernandez de Kirchner. The idea is not as absurd as it might seem at first. Find another option, but change the tactics of negotiations from defensive to offensive and start creating your missile defense system near the borders of the United States, especially since we are talking about ship systems. In addition, the United States now spends three times more to defend its advanced base forces and allies than its own territory. This is written, for example, by Baker Spring in The Cutting Edge. It is necessary to make them pay attention to their borders.

      I think they are for a very important concession from Russia to abandon this idea in words, and after 5 years when there will be a new president they will raise this issue again !!
      somewhere they will muddle and say that without missile defense there is no security!

      The fact is, Valery, that by 2020, according to their plans, the sector of their missile defense will block our ICBMs on the active section of the flight path (at the stage of dispersal and orientation). If we take the western sector (we won’t touch the east, there the ship standards are still bullshit (suitable only against the BRMD and the ballistic missile regiment but not against our ICBMs because of the remoteness of their launch) according to the tests I analyzed earlier) then these are our Teykovskaya , Kozelskaya, Tatishchevskaya, Yuryanskaya, Bologovskaya, possibly Yoshkar-Ola. But the trick is that the main direction of the strike of these divisions in the USA goes through the Arctic and the North Pole, that is, in practice it turns out that there will be anti-missiles catching up. Like these ones salochki This is what kind of hyperspeed one must have in order to intercept the same YARS, for example, which also does not differ in slow speed at the start (due to the additional upper stage, the men who carried out the launch told that the "old" Topol did not feel like I would hang, stand and mentally adjust, well, come on, dear, just don't fall, there was still adrenaline, now everything is much faster and more prosaic). And to replace YARS, Solomonov is already bringing Avangard (the first tests were unsuccessful, but it seems that the first successful launch has already been carried out), Liner instead of Sineva will soon go for the nuclear submarine. Think about the effectiveness of such catch-ups?

    The missile defense resembles the situation with the deployment of Nazi troops near our borders before the attack. At that time, a desa threw in that German troops were located near the Soviet borders with the goal of invading England. The disinformation is now being thrown that a missile defense system is deployed in order to protect against Iranian missiles. There are many technical problems in deploying missile defense, but equipment and scientific thought are not standing still; therefore, this system clearly poses a threat to Russia.

      Gold words!!! It doesn't matter that today this system looks like a "toy pistol" with which the boys play "war", but the main thing is that sites have already been allocated for this system, the necessary infrastructure has been laid down and all the necessary legislative acts have been concluded, therefore, "tomorrow", when technologies allow, instead of "toy pistols" there will be quite combat-ready missiles that will be able to solve the tasks assigned to them! And overseas uncles can continue to feed us with fairy tales - they have no faith !!!

      On the economic side, it can be assumed that the corporation that produces and produces these missiles, simply sells its products under any conditions and in any way through the government, which themselves are investors in this production. In short, the Rothschilds, etc., need to sell their products regardless of the fact that they wanted to spit on everything and everyone!

    Now infa on missile defense can go very different and opposite. And from their scientists and politicians and public figures. They will specially powder our heads. Some authorities will say that this is a bluff, others that it is a threat. All of this will gain momentum as we approach the completion of the stages. It is quite possible that this is a very thoughtful move by our "partners". Even if they can convince a common man in Russia that missile defense is safe for us, it will already be a success. Russia needs to assess all issues related to missile defense exclusively from two positions. 1. the opinion of our science on the question of whether this is possible in principle. 2. The data of our intelligence on the question whether the amers have reached this level. And if these positions coincide, take adequate countermeasures. And so why listen to each amer. The dog barks, the wind carries. Well, about Legal guarantees, I wrote in another thread lol

        Personally, I think that the Iskanders have nothing to do with it. Well, why cling to them? Well, at first they’ll be beaten according to the Iskanders, and then by us. I will scatter YOU on my knee as they will cover ISKANDERS with an interval of 10 minutes and then the first wave will go, but we have nothing to answer, because their missile defense is destroyed by our answer. We, all over the world, shouted ISKANDERS TO KALININGRAD. EH gay. I am talking about something else. About the Breakthrough in rocket science. On the creation of such brains that are not afraid of missile defense. About the latest supersonic strategic bombers. On the deployment of our missiles where the enemy does not reach. Missile platforms in the Arctic for example. What is it like? OUR misfortune is that we are surrounded by NON-COMMON TERRITORY. And the people in this territory are controlled by a puppeteer, who, due to his geographical position, has practically protected himself from retaliation. Like it or not, but the United States can fight with us in all ways of the Air Force, Navy, Navy, etc. (of course, not without the help of its vassals), and we with them in only one way with a nuclear missile strike. This is our weak point. Therefore, it must be increased with such a reserve that no missile defense would be scary.

    The article is complete nonsense.

    American missile defense is being created with the goal of protecting the United States from LIMITED missile attacks. Those. from single missiles and small salvos of obsolete, single-head missiles.

    Those. from the arsenal that small countries can potentially build.

    The task of the US missile defense is simply not to allow the missile arsenal, for example, of the DPRK, to prevent the Americans from "putting things in order in the DPRK." This is the ONLY US missile defense function at the moment. And not only the United States, but also India (which is actively building missile defense systems), Japan ...

    To put it simply: with the inevitable proliferation of missile and nuclear technologies - and they are spreading, you cannot endlessly hide secrets of 50 years ago! - the appearance of primitive ICBMs and nuclear bombs is possible even in small countries. Large nations actively "pursuing" world politics should have limited missile defense capabilities as well as air defense.

    Simple and elementary realpolitik


    Well and another thing: the American missile defense is not coordinated against Russia, and in its current concept it cannot be oriented.

    Bases in Europe - whatever they were - do not interfere with Russian missiles, whose flight paths are TRANSPOLAR.

    People, are you actually aware of the basic truth of the Cold War that the shortest route from the USA to the USSR / Russia is through the North Pole? Except, of course, the really useless Alaska and Chukotka.

    While the US is building missile bases in Europe, we have nothing to fear. And there is nothing for any alarmists to breed a tantrum.

    You need to start getting nervous if missile defense bases appear in Canada, and missile defense radars appear at the Tula airbase in Greenland. So far, there is nothing like this at all.

    So the advice to the author - LET'S FINISH FOOLING HUMAN HEADS!

    PS No, well, seriously, people, you can’t be such wild amateurs. Download the elementary Google Earth and measure the distance from Moscow to New York. It will be quite obvious which course is closer. This is true for any means.

    And then panic. panic. patriotic hamsters inflate cheek pouches and squeak "let's show our answer to NATO"! Instead of building the ABM system ourselves. Otherwise we will run into some Georgia with an ICBM, and we will have to politely raise our paws up and agree "yes, yes, it was the Russian peacekeepers who attacked you ... we will punish the guilty ... we'll figure it out" ...

      It’s interesting, but who said that this missile defense system cannot be used as an attacker, which will prevent the use of missiles not for destroying our missiles, for striking at our cities, military facilities, etc. ?? It is clear that the missiles are not nuclear, but who will guarantee that they will not put nuclear weapons there tomorrow? Who will track and guarantee the NATO plans for the future ?? How these uncles keep their promises is known to the whole world !! Therefore, we do not need to reassure us, we must strengthen the defense and be ready for everything!

    Moreover, these same officials are angry with Russia for declaring the possibility of delivering a preventive strike on the system if it is deployed. Apparently, Russia has the guts to consider the proposed system a threat to its missiles.

    This is the answer ... why are allegations of allegedly worthless missile defense appear ...
    In the event of a preemptive strike ... A missile defense will never be created ...

If the missile defense works, it is probably possible to intercept ICBMs of Iran (India, Pakistan, Israel), but how to be with the DPRK?

    I have long suspected, and now I suspect, that missile defense is by and large a bluff. There are many criteria, one of them, and who will defend the missile defense installation itself, and the statements that the missile defense will launch a missile on the launch march is doubtful. If she stands near the mine - then yes :)). The deployment of missile defense is another intrigue in geopolitics, and as they said here, SDI comes to mind. There is an impression that they are trying to distract us from something more serious. Well, if it turns out as it is written in the article, then the Americans are even funnier than I thought.
