US missile defense system can only protect against Iran or the DPRK

American missile defense systems are currently able to protect only against a limited rocket attack, the newspaper writes Bloomberg with reference to the Pentagon’s operational test department.

According to the director of the department, Robert Behler, a network of ground and surface anti-missile missiles, radars and communication lines, costing the United States $ 189 billion, can only protect the country from a limited rocket attack by countries like Iran or the DPRK.

Он пояснил, что исследования системы показали ее способность защитить территорию США или зарубежные контингенты troop от «небольшого числа» баллистических и межконтинентальных баллистических ракет. Но и это возможно только после задействования Пентагоном «полной архитектуры» датчиков, командования и управления.

The publication notes that Bechler’s report on the main weapons systems indirectly confirms the growing public confidence in improving the missile defense system, since in 2017, the test department gave a less than flattering assessment of the missile defense system, calling it “limited”. This conclusion is based on practical tests: only 10 was shot down from 5 target rockets.

However, the current state of the system does not give much reason for joy. Much remains to be done to improve it, the newspaper writes.

Recall, the US missile defense system takes the second place after the F-35 project. The ground network includes 44 interceptor missiles located in Alaska and California, as well as Thaad batteries. In addition, Aegis anti-missiles are deployed on ships.

Recently, the Pentagon announced the need to expand the missile defense system with the withdrawal of its elements into space.

The Israeli Air Force Raytheon HAWKER 800XP reconnaissance aircraft with a hardware system that can detect ballistic missile launches is operating in the Golan Heights area on the border with Syria, so we are waiting for something in the near future. I don’t trust the satellite to its owner, He doesn’t trust at all. And all because the US does not work against Iran, and therefore does not trust.

Yes, they outsmarted themselves. After all, this assessment of the missile defense was given by the "Pentagon Operational Test Department." And for the layman, a more serious "aggressor" is needed, otherwise you won't knock out a lot of money.

"The means of the American missile defense system are currently capable of protecting only from a limited missile attack," writes Bloomberg, citing the Pentagon's operational testing department. "Any simulation on a computer cannot reflect what will happen in reality.
Israel's "Iron Kumpol" was also presented as the pinnacle of anti-missile defense, and that ... Hezbollah did not know that. and this kumpole struck.

and the American missile defense also screwed up during the Gulf War. How many Scuds flew to the KSA and Israel ..

[SS-18 Satan]

On January 18, 1991, the first Iraqi missiles hit Israel. In total, seven rockets fell on the territory of the country on the first night, and four more on the next night. And on January 20, the first rockets hit Saudi Arabia.

Al-Husseini's missiles were the Soviet R-17s modified by Iraqis during the war with Iran (Scud-Be according to NATO classification). By reducing their payload by a third, the flight range was increased to 550 kilometers. Missiles were launched from mobile launchers on the MAZ-543 wheeled chassis, deployed in desert regions in western Iraq.

In total, during the war, Iraq issued 88 Scuds in Israel and Saudi Arabia. This led to the deaths of 2 Israelis and 1 Saudi, as well as 28 Pennsylvania Guards, when a rocket accidentally landed in their barracks in Dahran on February 25. Although the missiles were not particularly accurate, these launches made a lot of noise.

A big disappointment of that war was the American Patriot missile defense system deployed in Israel, for which the defense of Tel Aviv from the Soviet “Scuds” became a debut in real combat conditions. It turned out that the system was no good. Of the 38 Iraqi missiles, she tried to intercept 17. Of these, it was possible to get into only 7. Moreover, the effectiveness of the hits was always rather dubious: if Patriot did not shoot down the Scud, but exploded somewhere near it in the air, then this only changed the trajectory the fall of the Iraqi missile, and not the fact that the change was useful for the defended settlements. Four American Patriot missiles fell and exploded in residential areas in Israel.

[neri73-r]

There was infa that Scud fell on the territory of the US base, there were victims, it was classified, now it became known.

[voyaka uh]

"if Patriot did not shoot down the Scud, but exploded somewhere near it in the air,
then it only changed the trajectory of the fall of the Iraqi missile "////
-----
Correctly. For this very reason, Americans later developed
complex apparatus "kinetic killers" for direct hits
into attacking ballistic missiles.
They learn from mistakes.

1.Israeli funds did not bring down the il-20m
2. The Israeli Air Force used the incompetent use of the IL-20m in that area and covered it with their next raid on Syrian installations
3. The Syrian air defense could not assess the situation and hit the IL-20m with their surface-to-air missile (the reflecting surface of the IL-20 m is larger than the F-16, which means the signal is stronger)

NO! here it is seen at the genetic level of the problem ..
It was shot down because the command of the Israeli Air Force was very vile, planning to set up for the Syrian missiles of the Russian unarmed reconnaissance aircraft IL-20M.
Each flight of planes, the more real combat one, is planned on the ground. its elements are worked out on the ground and then into the air. At the same time, reconnaissance information is fully applied on the situation in the area of ​​operations. including on flights in that area of ​​the IL-20 m

Well, nothing terrible happens with this economy. And to such an extent that in general you begin to doubt its reality ... The balance with China in some surreal way is balanced every 20-30 years and each time a trade war ... and the US "wins". Trump is right! It's time to sew T-shirts not in China, at best in Mexico ...

Or did his murdered predecessor (who died of cancer in the prime of life) go to the wrong school?

Pedro Carmona overthrew Hugo Chavez as a result of a coup d'état and de facto led the country for 47 hours (between April 12 and 13, 2002). After the overthrow of the Carmona government, Vice President Diosdado Cabello temporarily assumed the presidency until the return of Hugo Chavez.

They came to their senses, it turns out that a whole million extra "writing and serving coffee" parasites ... Are you talking patriotism? An external threat? An Uzbek patriot puts a stove for me at the dacha (pretending that he can), AND THE EXTERNAL THREAT never disappeared! I always feared that "everything for money for the people" would be exchanged. Now it’s less, because I’m ready not to have breakfast 7 times a week ... If only there were Weapons and an Army capable of protecting, if not me, then my grandchildren.

And then they pissed off even attacking the DPRK with their 2.5 nuclear warheads, primitive delivery vehicles and the presence of a missile defense system capable of protecting against the DPRK’s strike

It must be admitted that the DPRK's missiles are not so primitive and 60 warheads.

There’s no need to post anything here. Everything is taking its course. Fish rots from the head. In the United States, processes are similar to those in the late USSR. Top management is mired in the division of power and corruption. The USA is gradually becoming obsolete in ideological terms, living past victories, they don’t want to change, keep up with the times. And why, after all, everything is good, and if so, then you don’t need to change either. The bone of the system, constant scams in the economy, fraud, there is no desire to change something seriously there is a desire to find loophole and temporarily get out, problems then accumulate all the time, but no one is going to solve them, everything is solved temporarily through a printing press. All this for the time being and is fragile like ice in the spring.

The thing is that the US missile defense system was originally conceived as a scam for money laundering by the so-called "patriots." Such a global pyramid like MMM, constantly growing up and down and thirsting for more and more new investing countries. The F-35 will be an element of missile defense. Maybe it will also make intergalactic flights? Belief in missile defense in America is a belief in constant money laundering. And it does not matter whether this missile defense system works or not.

[maximum 8]

True, fewer and fewer European customers believe in the need for missile defense. Therefore, they must be made to believe in the need for missile defense. Exiting the INF Treaty and propaganda about aggressive Russia and its latest weapons is just the point. Now missile defense systems will be sold and will be sold naturally expensive. And America, once again at the expense of Europe will improve its economic situation.

But how much can they trump? The air defense system is created not only against one country - against Russia (formerly the USSR). It is created from possible threats. At the same time, the Americans (and we, too) know two things very well.
1. The probability of war between our two countries is very small. This is the first. According to experts - about 1% In relation to China, this probability rises to 5%. And no more. But the possibility of a regional conflict with any other country (DPRK, Iran) is much higher.
2. And the second one. Both we and the Americans WE KNOW EXCELLENTthat a mass strike of missiles, whether they be even Russian, even American WILL NOT STOP NO system About. Neither American nor Russian. And we continue to trump out of place or out of place systems that are not yet in service

Actually, you shouldn't use the events of almost 30 years ago as an example. If you knew at least a minimum of the same history of the creation of the Patriot complex, you would know that the tests of the very first version of the complex took place only on tactical Lance missiles with a flight range of 70 km. To intercept targets of the "operational-tactical missiles" type, this complex was not at all adapted. They threw him there only to at least have some kind of protection, good or bad - the tenth thing. For the events that followed (which we like to write about with aspiration), for 28 years, the complex has been repeatedly modernized, its modifications PAC-1, 2 and 3 appeared (the latter is generally intended to intercept ballistic targets), options have appeared adapted for interception and ballistic and cruise missiles. And we all continue to refer to the events of almost 30 years ago, when this complex was first used. But they took into account the experience gained from its application. Our complexes, such as the S-300, not to mention the S-400 AT ALL NEVER HAD EXPERIENCE OF BATTLE APPLICATION... So continue to shout about the "holes" of other people's air defense systems ...

Even in the best of times, when the Moscow missile defense system was fully equipped with interceptors in the amount of 100 interceptors, it was able to destroy up to 16 twin targets. Or roughly up to 32 goals. And where did the figure of 90% + goals come from ????

And to place something tricky, you need to invest a couple of tens of billions of dollars and get a "black hole" where hundreds of millions of dollars will regularly flow away. At the same time, leave our fighters there as "kamikaze", because they will not do anything against the hegemon, but he will roll out the base with everything that is there ...
