In the USA: Russians could create antisatellite laser weapons

76
After the demonstration of personnel with the deployment in the format of experimental-combat operation of the latest Russian laser systems Peresvet, the topic of the specific purpose of these facilities began to be discussed with even greater activity. In the plots of the federal channels with reference to military experts, a statement was passed that Peresvet could be used not only as effective means of air defense, but also as anti-satellite weapons.


The statement that the latest Russian combat lasers are able to “reach out” to the satellites, has already excited Western military experts, who have begun to discuss the issue of security on their part. An additional urgency to discussing this issue was given by the US statement on the actual ultimatum to Russia on the “need to abandon violations of the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles” during 60 days. Otherwise, as stated in Washington, the United States will withdraw from the INF.

Speaking about Peresvet, in the West they remembered that Russia still has Soviet developments in the form of a “flying laser machine”. This is a complex A-60 based on IL-76MD. The complex made its first flight back in the year already 1981. At the same time, a megawatt laser installation was on board, which was ultimately planned to be launched into space.

Those developments were transformed into the appearance of the 1LK222 laser complex, which was originally conceived as an element of countering the US space defense component. In 2009, as a result of the experiment, a laser beam with A-60 was directed to a satellite with an orbit of 1,5 thousand km. As a result, a reflected signal was received. After this, work on improving the system was continued.
Often these works are described as a Sokol-Echelon project (still Soviet). It is noteworthy that in the English version of Wikipedia a separate article is devoted to this project. Sokol eshelon.

In the USA: Russians could create antisatellite laser weapons


Summing up the demonstration of the Peresvet deployment and the work on the development of airborne laser installations, the United States notes that “the Russians could well have created an operating anti-satellite weapon". For understandable reasons, such statements cause panic in the US Congress, where they had previously stated that "the Russians could arrange star wars, disabling the American satellites." The extent to which the satellite component is important for the USA (and not only for the United States) is well known, and therefore disabling satellites can be a real catastrophe for a state that claims hegemony.

    In the late 70s and early 80s, the USSR already had serious developments in the field of combat lasers, the Americans did in their pants with an enviable regularity from such information, therefore, all their efforts were directed to the economic undermining of our country, but the most important thing was to buy one Stavropol .. ..and now we just extract what was created by our ancestors in the Union 50, 40 years ago and try to finish it with a file on the sly, while showing the world computer graphics about what terrible we are - modern Russians! I jokingly say, we are now like the Chinese, we are only copying the developments not of the neighboring country, but of the country from the past - the USSR!

      Well, the Russians are for that, and the Russians do not "finish" as you said, but in reality, at a qualitatively different level, they develop Soviet developments, but the Chinese women, except for mediocre copying, do not know how. In addition to the titanic efficiency, fantastic theft of technology and excellent mobilization.
      So we are now intelligently approaching the legacy. By the way, the USSR also competently developed what was created by domestic scientists before the revolution, plus effectively adopted the foreign one. And the laser - here Russia is the first MUST be by definition, we came up with it.

          Maybe it's for the best that such a weapon is being demonstrated now, when the teeth about us can no longer just be broken, but torn off together with the head, and not at 90 or under the great Serdyukov, when, after one mention of such systems, `` partners '' could have come fight, or rather inexpensively bought used technology and specialists with giblets.

              About drones, this is an expert assessment, not a statement from the Ministry of Defense. Judging by the dimensions of the installation, there is a megawatt class installation. It is unlikely that such funds are needed for a UAV, this is from a cannon to sparrows, it is expensive, difficult, a lot of energy is needed, over-the-horizon damage is impossible, and the problem of fig optical permeability of the atmosphere in bad weather has not been canceled. Rather, such a complex is designed to destroy satellites and ICBM warheads in the passive section of the trajectory. As for the demonstration of tests, it seems to me that, firstly, this is not very correct from the point of view of the secrecy regime, especially if the composition includes new developments in the field of energy production or cooling, and secondly, a practical demonstration of the possibility of hitting targets in orbit can cause an instant proactive military the answer, because the communication and defense systems of the "partners" are tied to satellites very strongly, up to complete non-functionality when they are neutralized. And so they showed what we have, respectively, forcing us to think and postpone rash decisions and we do not twist the eggs by flexing our muscles ahead of time next to the precious gps. When such an installation will cover each city, then it will be possible to show off ...

                There is a good book: "Space weapons: a security dilemma. Authors - A. G. Arbatov, A. A. Vasiliev, E. P. Velikhov Moscow, Mir, 1986". It is publicly available on the Internet, and Academician Velikhov understands something about lasers, since he has been developing them for many years. From the book, in particular, it follows that if it is realistic to shoot down an ICBM with a laser, then this requires a laser with a continuous power in the beam of ten megawatts and an aperture of more than a couple of meters. This requires a power unit already in the hundreds of megawatts - and even then, if the focusing system is ideal, and the target is exactly at its zenith. It's hard to believe that the laws of physics have changed since then. The optics of the satellite, of course, can be damaged - but only if there is no special protection, not too complicated. I strongly recommend this book to those who are at least a little versed in physics and mathematics. And the screamers and protesters, lovers of the slogan "Russia is the homeland of elephants", the letter is not for the future.

                  I am familiar with this book and do not dispute the statement about the complexity of interception. It is clear that knocking down a war block is not easy. It is designed to overcome atmospheric friction at hypersonic speeds, it has a very simple device, thick protection and no vulnerable retractable elements. However, if we assume that the energy capabilities of the demonstrated installation lie in the region of tens of megawatts, the achievements of modern material processing make it possible to concentrate such power into an aperture of half a meter. And this is a completely different level of energy. It is necessary to count, but I do not see theoretical obstacles to heat not very heavy block of thousands to 10 degrees in seconds. And warheads are not painted with reflective paint, on the contrary, for stealth, they have a very low albedo. With regards to satellites, it’s not even funny. The installation of a megawatt Crassus satellite simply smudges. He has no protection, reflectors from the earth, a bunch of sensitive electronics and antennas on the body ... A furry beast to a satellite, in general, at such power. I rather wonder where they got so much energy, and how to cool the installation itself.

                    Well, what a megawatt class? All existing combat lasers have tens of kilowatts in the beam, and for output power in megawatts, tens of megawatts are needed. You can’t place such a power station on a mobile trailer, and it is also problematic to remove tens of megawatts of heat from the laser - unless, of course, the laser is not gas-dynamic. But the gas-dynamic ones have a large beam divergence, both due to the fact that they work in the infrared range and because of the optical inhomogeneity of the gas stream. And, by the way, the gas-dynamic and excimer ones — the most powerful ones — were made for hundreds of kilowatts in the seventies and eighties, but the fluorine and deuterium excimer is still worthless and expensive and dangerous. For me, it’s more reliable to fire bullets on ICBMs and satellites using, say, the S-500.
                    And thanks for the discussion on the case, not an idle talk.

                      And thank you for the informative discussion. And what is the fundamental difficulty in placing a power plant for a couple of tens of megawatts on mobile media? It is clear that it’s not in KAMAZ, but in what is larger, but still I don’t see any special obstacles. Compact reactors have been developed for a long time. Of course, very careful operation will be required, and there is a risk of accident, but over the years, many technologies of reactors with a high power density have worked on the nuclear submarines. If we start from the dimensions of the LMT of submarines of the Lyra type, taking into account a tenfold decrease in power and serious progress over the years in material physics, the resulting device could theoretically fit on a large chassis. We are developing a megawatt-class space reactor, and there they are very rigid, since there is no superheavy rocket and is not expected, requirements for mass and dimensions. It’s worse with heat. Although I was at the Gelendzhik air show this year, I saw a cunning aircraft electric motor, just a megawatt class, in the booth there. Power was supplied there via a superconducting cable, and the cable itself and the coils were cooled with liquid nitrogen. Assuming the use of a similar technology in conjunction with energy-efficient converters of power to radiation in the pump design, it is not a fact that the efficiency will be as low as that of conventional lasers; accordingly, such a device will dissipate less heat. There is also the question that all calculations of the energy needed to destroy a warhead are considered in a vacuum. And if you beat at the end of the trajectory, in dense layers of the atmosphere, when is it already 2000 degrees in temperature? It is unlikely that there is such a large margin of safety, shielding is very limited by the cast weight. If you add at least a thousand degrees to the temperature of the plasma cloud in front of the warhead, it may even go awry. Although in fact, all this is fortunetelling.

                        only one consideration: for the space transport system, radiation protection is not necessary, except for the screen from the side of the payload or crew, besides being on the beam taken out twenty meters away. And there, if I’m not mistaken, is a turbine and generator between the reactor and the crew. And in a cruise missile, the reactor’s radio protection is completely useless - a one-time thing. And the mass of protection is oh-ho-ho. To carry it on a trailer is unprofitable. On a ship or submarine is another matter.

                        Two objections. The first one. And the radiation protection of the reactor can not be stationary? We arrived at the position, drove the car with the reactor backwards into a concrete bunker in the middle of a wild field, sealed it, hid it ourselves in the tank, started it, worked it out. And nothing that the field will spoil when leaving. any ray than a city covered by a warhead. The second - and what prevents the structure from feeding from a nearby power station or a section of a stationary power system? There you can at least eat a gigawatt. If this is the line of defense against the first strike, it is logical to assume that at the time of activation, the energy system, especially in the interior of the country, is still generally safe.

              This is the Trust project. He had nothing to do with satellites, and there are no new physical principles in him. Rather, on previously unused physical principles. Ground complexes of microwave radiation form a plasmoid in the path of the warhead. Plasma density = 0, the warhead crashing into the plasma undergoes huge overloads and there is no material that could withstand such overloads on the ground. The soil will not pull such installations because of their enormous energy consumption and weight, the rivers are seasonal in nature, only the railway remains. In general, the thing is quite dangerous, the calculation needs to be hidden in a capsule with a rather impressive wall thickness, and the "plate", preferably with a double bottom. This setup is also suitable for irradiating the ionosphere. In this case, you turn off the magnetic protection of the Earth in the right place, allowing the solar wind to penetrate deep into the atmosphere. what charms it will bring is not difficult to guess.

      I constantly observe passages: the USSR deconstructed oil dumping and the arms race.
      I do not deny that these factors have contributed significantly.
      However, none of the homegrown "intellectuals" bothered to study this issue even superficially. All they had was hooting and jumping to the beat of American liberal myths.

      In your opinion, the USSR is that, the epic intergalactic super-civilization, the very distant and purely degraded descendants of which, huddled together, organized an under-colony under the name of the Russian Federation on the unremarkable planet Earth, which is on the Orion Sleeve?
      Maybe you think that scientific and technological progress in the USSR was carried out exclusively due to Tajik scientists, for example,? Or Belarusian? About the great high-tech Ukrainian nation, I do not even stutter.
      I do not argue, it was the result of the joint efforts of many peoples. But Russia organized and led these peoples.
      All the achievements of the USSR-this is 90% of the operating time of Russia.

The Almaz Central Design Bureau, together with the Beriev Design Bureau, operated it. Development of space-based combat lasers. I am sure the technology is ready by now.

Vaughn, Huawei allegedly violated the US INTERNAL Iranian sanctions law and ... the top manager of the Huawei and, concurrently, the owner's daughter in Canadian dungeons awaits deportation to the states.

        Naturally, there will be more ... China and this notorious "more", the same will eat (in the sense of eating) ... it will kick, but it will certainly eat. Perhaps the United States conceived to close the China project, due to the departure of China from the orbit into which it (China) was "launched" by the United States ...

        Meng Wangzhou, finance director of Huawei Technologies, has been arrested - China has not even blundered yet ... And if the West throws up sanctions on the compass and prohibits its gadgets for sale - there will be a lot of similar situations in the future .. They will ring China on themselves ....

      And this reserve was pledged by the unloved liberals of all stripes, traitors to the motherland I.V. Stalin. They therefore do not like him because Stalin created the state, which after his death only managed to break up, not to destroy. And this is the greatest merit of Joseph Vissarionovich himself.
      Touched in industry, in science, which Stalin and the successors of his affairs left after his death, in spite of any intrigues of enemies within the Union, of the liberal Russia, continues to exist, allows Russia to develop and retain adversary from extreme measures.

    Periodically in the media, the military armies of "mattresses" express concern that if the satellites fail (are destroyed) during the conflict, then their soldiers will not even be able to navigate the terrain, and command and control of the troops will be paralyzed.

      That's the whole thrill and elegance of the concept: some new system, obviously serious, has been put into operation and put into service, but what and how it does - silence! As in that commercial about Ivan the Terrible and Novgorodians: "After you will find out!"
      Maybe she easily makes unmanned aerial vehicles by beplotniki, maybe she blinds or spoils fighters with bombers, cuts missiles into discs on the fly, or maybe she does something on the ground with a reflected beam through some satellite with a mirror ... For example, she highlights targets for "Calibers" or "Krasnopole". Or maybe by modulating the beam, it instantly finds resonance for any artificial flying object and causes its self-destruction ...
      So let the pogans think.

    Not Russians, but Russians. There were 150 nationalities in the USSR and scientists were of all nationalities, not only Russians. It's time to think and express yourself correctly. Not only Russians live in Russia. and there are still many nations, so it is more correct to say [quote = "The Russians could create an anti-satellite laser weapon." And they could and did. [/ quote]
    Many nations also live in America, and therefore they are called one nation "American", when Russian nationalists learn to think correctly and respect all the nations in Russia, to be called Russians, then order will be restored. Because of such statements, the whole world considers Russians - Russia - to be nationalist aggressors! With such an answer, the patriarch of Russia was expelled from behind the hill, when he spoke out that the Russians had won in the second world. war in 45. And he was answered, not only 50 million Russians fought and won, 150 million lived in the USSR. not Russians, who also fought in the war and won.
