SM-3 Block IIA US missile defense tested. Romania and Poland are waiting for "cover from Iran"
It is reported that this version of the anti-missile is equipped with high-sensitivity sensor equipment, an effective system of "rejection" of false targets. SM-3 Block IIA has an increased range in comparison with previous versions. Also increased the speed of flight. It is up to 4,5 km / s. At the same time, the ultimate target destruction distance is 2,7 thousand km.
The anti-missile missile system was produced from the side of the US Navy destroyer “John Finn”. The target was a rocket, which was launched from the west coast of the Hawaiian Islands.
In fact, the SM-3 Block IIA is the same anti-missile missile that will eventually become the basis of American anti-missile defense facilities in Eastern Europe (in Romania and Poland). In other words, the Americans do not hide that in addition to the sea-based SM-3 Block IIA has a land option.
In fact, this is already a direct violation of the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles. And if we take into account that the development of this rocket began in the 2006 year, and even in the cooperation of American and Japanese experts, we can say with confidence that Trump’s statements about leaving the DDSMD in fact only reinforce his long-term violations. And Japan has been implicated in these violations of the treaty by the United States.
It is worth recalling that a few years ago the United States authorities also said that the United States had actually withdrawn from the treaty. After all, the armament, called “anti-missile”, is essentially the same rocket that can not only intercept other missiles, but also be a means to attack, for example, the enemy’s territory.
An important point: if the deployment of the US missile defense system in the Romanian Deveselu can still be (from the USA) explained by “cover from Iran”, since from Deveselu to the northwestern city of Tabriz (Iran) is about 2 thousand km, then with an explanation of the deployment of the US missile defense in Polish Redzikovo everything is much more complicated from the point of view of elementary logic. The fact is that the distance from this Polish town to the same Tabriz is almost 2,9 thousand km. This exceeds the range of the SM-3 Block IIA. The USA declares that they will intercept "Iranian missiles" in flight. In flight over Iran will not work, based on the performance of the American anti-missile. Then which country: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Russia or Belarus? .. Or will they wait for Iranian missiles to reach NATO airspace? But American intelligence itself had previously distributed a release through the media, in which it was stated that Iran does not have missiles of such a range.
