The Pentagon is pleased that the US missile defense system has shot down one of the two warheads

For the first time, the US armed forces tested the missile defense system, which immediately launches two anti-missiles on a target with a divided warhead. Tests were conducted as part of exercises in the Pacific in the Hawaiian Islands.

A ballistic target missile of close range has been released from the island of Kauai. Then, the Lake Erie missile cruiser tracked the target trajectory and fired two SM-3 Block IB missiles at it. At the same time, the Pentagon stressed that only one of the missiles successfully hit a warhead separated from the missile.

Lockheed Martin, a company specializing in aerospace engineering, is a key enterprise in the US military-industrial complex. Her main pride is a component of the SPY-1 radar missile defense system. It is used on warships and has one of the farthest range in the world. It is this characteristic that gives the United States and its allies the advantage of observing airspace. At the moment, 27 naval ships fleet The United States has the ability to observe over long distances. In addition, the Navy plans to equip four more ships with a missile defense system and anti-ballistic missiles.

FIGURE: 50 percent of Americans have a negative attitude towards Russia. For the first time in 15 years, there were more of them than those who trust Moscow (44 percent)
“The last test showed that the Lake Airy cruiser, seafarers and missile defense equipment can track, analyze and control missiles with split warheads in flight using radio interception,” said Lockheed Martin’s missile defense program development program, Nick Bucci. The 4.0.2 PRO defense configurations provide the fleet with the ability to respond to threats emanating from evolving and evolving ballistic missiles around the world using robust and reliable technical capabilities. "

Americans, of course, do not say directly that their newest missile defense system is directed against Russia. But at the same time, it is obvious that this is the case. After all, the lion's share of missiles with separable warheads is in service with the Russian army.

Help
Tests of a missile defense system in the USA have been conducted since 2001. During this time, as part of the exercise, the Americans managed to hit 63 79 target missiles.

Vitya, hello! Well, if this news were "submitted" by our military experts in this format, and so .... They and everything with the Mace but

And here is the report given by the "amers" themselves, which is very different from ours Articles :

The U.S. Navy launched two Raytheon SM-3 Block IB missiles from the Lake Erie missile cruiser on one tactical missile with a multiple warhead, ASDNews reported on September 19. The first missile with a direct hit kinetic interceptor successfully destroyed the target.

The SM-3 is a defensive weapon used in the US and Japan to defend against short- and medium-range ballistic missiles. “Confidence in the effectiveness of a missile defense is growing with every flight test. When these weapons are deployed in 2015, the United States and our allies will have an extremely reliable defense system, ”said Taylor Lawrence, president of Raytheon Missile Systems.

During the test, both missiles were launched sequentially. The first hit the target, the second missile was specially designed to test the ability of the ship system to control the flight of several missiles at the same time to hit different targets. The second missile had no task to intercept the target.

“We are gathering a tremendous amount of information about missile defense capabilities, and in many cases the interceptor missile far exceeds our expectations. It turns out that the SM-3 Block IB can take on the implementation of increasingly complex combat scenarios, such confidence creates the basis for a decision on mass production, ”says Dr. Mitch Stevison, program director at SM-3 Raytheon Missile Systems.

This test was the 25th successful SM-3 test flight and the fourth in the SM-3 Block IB modification program. Previous missiles of the highly successful SM-3 Block IA are currently deployed worldwide. Modification SM-3 Block IB is equipped with a two-color infrared seeker with increased capabilities and an advanced propulsion system that accelerates the anti-ballistic missile towards the targets entering the affected area.

[PN]

This is against short- and medium-range missiles. What about long-range missiles? But in our country only such people are in service. Or do they care what to shoot down, what is distant and what is near?

About the two-color GOS - everything is so. As for the engines - I’ll clarify. This is not about the marching engine, but about the interceptor maneuvering unit - DACS. It does not disperse the interceptor, but changes the direction of its movement. In essence, it is a gas-jet control system. On this modification, they made it 10-nozzle, it is cheaper than the previous one and works more reliably. Bypass valves are unclear, but it seems that according to some sources, they are also modernized.

I saw one activist here, so he rubbed it, that our missile defense system near Moscow works like that — it fires a nuclear missile missile and knocks down the Amer’s. Is it really so? And the Amer sm3 block will fly at a speed of 2015 km sec.

A-135 consists of Don-2н radar and two types of missiles, the 51Т6 Gordon long-range missile and the 53Т6 Gazelle melee rocket. Gordon has a powerful thermonuclear warhead and is designed to hit in space a group target of several warheads, neutron radiation. The gazelle against single warheads that have passed the first echelon hits a fragmentation warhead at altitudes up to 50 km. At the moment, Gordon has been removed from combat duty, only missiles of the Gazelle type remained in service with the Moscow missile defense system, there is no talk of defense against a massive strike, only limited.

[Stiletto]

Already with their left hand they intercepted their "Warhead", and with their right, and now - at last, they reached orgasm - the Pentagon is glad! Rejoice, you banana countries! The only thing is that the Pentagon is clearly not happy: Russia will have thicker warheads, and - without Vaseline.

[Phase]

Strange, this news was like yesterday ...

Quote: j iz sibiri

and then your warhead

The information provided is not entirely correct. Most likely the shooting was carried out simply by a burst of two missiles. In any case, in our country’s air defense forces (not to be confused with military air defense) this is always the case. In some cases, the RBD provides for firing at one target even with a burst of three missiles (the target is a carrier of nuclear weapons or, in some cases, jammers). Any missile has a finite probability of damage, usually in the range of 0,7 - 0,85. Shooting a burst of two missiles gives a total probability close to unity. In the event of a hit by the first missile, the second goes to self-destruction. For them, this is most likely the same and almost certainly this was the case in this case.
I wrote yesterday that SM3 BlockIB against ICBMs are powerless - the maximum target speed is 3600 m / s. Block II, which they plan to create in 2016-18. will intercept targets at a speed of up to 5000 m / s.
So these missiles can not threaten our ICBMs yet. They are created as a reaction to the Chinese program for creating anti-ship ballistic missiles with optical correction in the last section of the trajectory. Now the ships do not have weapons that can cope with them, and if they are not created, then when the Chinese put their PKBR into service, the aircraft carriers will be worthless.
The second purpose of these missiles is to combat the old RSDs of developing countries made using Soviet technologies of the 60s. They also cannot fight with maneuvering warheads of the RSMD type such as Iskander. Despite the fact that they managed to create a supernova device for maneuvering the interceptor - a solid-fuel multiply charged gas generator, plus 10 nozzles with different orientations, plus a system of microwave valves for transferring to nozzles (they write that as many as 20 operations per second). But do not blow like nozzles, and the interceptor has mass and it’s still impossible to change its flight direction instantly.

[mirag2]

To the heap, this is a new system, if I’m not mistaken, it does not undermine the charge next to the target, but hits it precisely, destroying the target with its kinetic energy. They say, probably thanks to Israel for their help (after all, the Dome also works for them).

[Army1]

In fact, the American Navy, these are mostly ships, carriers of precision weapons. Somehow I looked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qS_CTIecRw maybe not this. Well, in general, the idea of ​​using an EMP charge against the enemy’s fleet (a large group of ships), while the most interesting thing is without using nuclear weapons, Amy’s weapons. Ships turn into a floating storage of missiles.

[patsantre]

And what will remain after EMP?

[Uncle Serozha]

Quote: patsantre

And what will remain after EMP?

If we are talking about the fight against American ships, then we will have nothing there. In the case of the use of EMR ammunition, no one will send ships there, and the radius of the effective action of EMR is not so large. And radar-blind blinding is a really effective measure. Moreover - for the defending side. We are in our native land, and they are in foreign waters and they have nowhere to be repaired. Yes, and once.

[starshina78]

Sarcasm is not appropriate! With each test, they are getting better and better. And this is an occasion for our scientists to think to make sure that they cannot shoot down our warheads. After all, a time may come when they can shoot down one warhead with one rocket. Why not ? And what will we answer?

As mentioned above, fire is usually fired by two anti-missile systems. This is the same with airplanes.
Our S-400 is capable of destroying ballistic targets moving at speeds of up to 4800 m / s - more than SM3 BlockIB. But at the same time he loses a lot to the American system in range - 60 km for ballistic targets (400 km for aerodynamic). That is, it is still more likely an air defense system with limited missile defense capabilities.
For an American missile, the range is unclear. They write "range of 500 km" (it is not clear at what speed of the target) and "ceiling - 160 km" (similar). Ours are inclined to think that the real range of interception of the RSD is about 100 km, since the trajectory is steep.
Of course, the S-500 will immediately change the picture. It will have separate fire channels - anti-aircraft and anti-missile (missile 77N6-N). He is able to work on a target moving at a speed of up to 7000 m / s at ranges of more than 150 km (on an aerodynamic target - up to 600), plus for all kinds of hypersonic child prodigies. They promise to put one on duty next year. It will be great if they can.

In the final section of the ballistic trajectory, shooting down a warhead is already a success. But such things have been actively maneuvering since the 80s, and they must have shot down a free-falling one.

And why are they so happy? One of 2. Currently, missiles are equipped with a large number of charges, for example, the same Bulava has 6 of them, and even if it reaches World War 3, such a number will fly there that no missile defense system will help. So it’s better to let them think how not to unleash a war, otherwise their "democratization" is already sick. Better a bad peace than a good war.

“The Pentagon is glad that the US missile defense system shot down one of the two warheads” - the Russian Defense Ministry shares the Pentagon’s joy.

For the first time, the US Armed Forces tested a missile defense system that fires two interceptors at once at a target with a multiple warhead. The tests took place as part of an exercise in the Pacific Ocean near the Hawaiian Islands. A short-range ballistic missile was fired from the island of Kauai. The missile cruiser Lake Erie then tracked the target's trajectory and fired two SM-3 Block IB missiles at it. At the same time, the Pentagon emphasized that only one of the missiles successfully hit the warhead separated from the missile.

and where is it written that there were two target missiles?

[Ivanovich47]

The process of intercepting the target missile took place under ideal conditions. Were absent intentional interference (radio, heat, camouflage). Under interference, there will be completely different results. Further, Russian warheads learned to maneuver. And over the years, this skill is only being improved. A big role is played by surprise. After all, at these exercises everyone knew where the rocket would fly from. In real life, this will not happen. Together with new developments of a new generation of intercontinental ballistic missiles, new principles of missile defense of these missiles are also being developed. Life does not stand still. So, let the Americans not upset us, they will be better off.

Sidetracking. If someone thinks that missile defense in Europe poses a real threat to Russia's nuclear missiles, then he does not know how to think. A massive nuclear strike is by definition impossible to repel. Yes, let 10 out of 100 warheads be able to break through, for the enemy it is - unacceptable damage. It’s just that the defenders and officials in the West are able to cut money from taxpayers much more elegantly than their not-so-distant bastard Russian colleagues. And there are such projects there - the sea. You can still remember about the worthless F-35 Lightning.
