US provoke Russia to an arms race

The United States has stepped up the deployment of a missile defense system in Europe. At the same time, Washington is very concerned about the modernization of the Russian Armed Forces.

In the next two years, four destroyers of the missile defense (ABM) of the US Navy will be deployed to protect Europe from a missile attack in the sea areas of the Old World. The first of these days - the destroyer Donald Cook, equipped with the Aegis anti-missile system, headed for the Rota naval base in Spain.

Informing this news during the Munich security conference, Pentagon chief Chuck Hagel also said that two days earlier he had encouraged Poland with the US readiness to deploy missile defense elements here. Global challenges are addressed to Europe and the United States from the Middle East and North Korea. And in these monstrous levels of tension, Chuck Hagel noted, countries like China and Russia are modernizing their armed forces, also "challenging defensive partnerships around the world."

The fact that the deployment of the US missile defense system in Europe has long and more than reasonably worried Russia was lowered by the Pentagon chief in his speech. The fact is that the missile defense system is a kind of “sacred cow” for the United States, explains Pavel Zolotarev, deputy director of the Institute for the USA and Canada. The very issue of missile defense itself gives impetus to the development of science in a very wide spectrum, both fundamental and applied.

According to Zolotarev, any attraction of budget funds in the field of missile defense brings results. However, not in the sense that it is possible to create an effective missile defense system, it is an unrealistic task, the expert said.

"They understand this perfectly well and do not set out to create a missile defense system capable of reflecting a massive missile strike. As an example, I constantly cite (such a fact): the first stage of the Star Wars program at the time of Reagan allowed the Internet to be brought to the global level. the fact that it was actively developed under the Star Wars program. What new technologies may emerge now is difficult to say. But in order to achieve the goal set — to maintain our technological superiority over all — it’s necessary ational invest in missile defense system. But it is still necessary to have a reason to convince their voters to invest their money in missile defense. So if it were not for Iran and North Korea, it would be necessary to invent them. "



At the same time, budget investments in missile defense, and therefore in advanced branches of science and technology, are largely capitalized. Business is involved in military projects through actions. So one should hardly worry that the missile defense will destroy the United States, Zolotarev believes. And, in addition, for the European Union, as part of NATO, the missile defense program is also of practical practical importance for the formation of an integrated control system for both air defense and missile defense. Such a system, if necessary, will allow you to deploy mobile systems such as "Patriot", their counterparts of the sea-based in the right quantity and where necessary. The control system is the most important thing, says Pavel Zolotarev.

The European milestone of the US global anti-missile defense system does not meet its officially declared purpose, says Vladimir Evseev, director of the Center for Socio-Political Research. Because, according to him, neither Iran, nor the DPRK, even more, do not have missiles today that could really threaten Europe and the United States.

"The weapons of the Islamic Republic of Iran are liquid rockets of the type" Gadr-1 "," Shehab-3M ". These missiles have a range of not more than one thousand six hundred kilometers. A priori, these missiles cannot pose any threat to European states. At present, The Islamic Republic of Iran continues to work on creating a Sajil-2 solid-fuel rocket, but the timing for adopting this rocket is not clear. For at least two years, there have been no flight tests of this rocket, so to say that this rocket will be Yata soon adopted, apparently, it is not necessary. "



Under these conditions, it is obvious that the United States is deploying a missile defense system in Europe with the goal of possible deterrence of the strategic nuclear forces of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Evseev notes. The missile defense destroyers deployed at military bases in Europe pose a potential threat for the interception of Russian ground-based and sea-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), the expert is convinced.

At first, Moscow reacted rather reservedly to the US missile defense program in Europe. For example, it put into operation new radar stations such as the Voronezh DM. But today, Russia is forced to create a new heavy rocket, develop a combat railway missile complex, and also build up its arsenal of Topol-M and Yars-type ICBMs. It turns out that the United States and NATO are pushing Russia to take military-technical measures to contain the West.

Thus, the arms race is unwinding, summarizes Vladimir Evseev. And until the West sees Russia as an equal partner, it will be impossible to say the creation of a common security system between the Russian Federation and NATO.

Meanwhile, the activation of the Euro-PRO program was officially commented on by the Russian Foreign Ministry. Recall that the head of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Ulyanov, did not rule out that with the further development of the missile defense system, Russia will take advantage of the right to withdraw from the Treaty on Strategic Offensive Arms. The chances of avoiding such a scenario depend on the political will of the United States.

    The US is provoking Russia into an arms race — IT HAS ALREADY BEEN GOING ONLY according to our rules — we don’t have to chase super-expensive laser systems with a cheaper and more practical answer to confuse the US MILITARY MACHINE.

    For example, to deprive the United States of its eyes and ears by undermining several nuclear warheads in satellite orbit.

    Or arrange something similar near tectonic faults off the coast of the USA. PROBLEMS FOR THE USA will be agromadic.

      Americans behave like a scorcher at a traffic light - they tear gas, although no one is going to chase them. They may have a race in China, but we have modernization, since the emphasis is on changing the qualitative, rather than quantitative, indicators of the armed forces.

        Something is not heard that the Americans are quantitatively building up their army. They are really engaged in the development of the latest types of weapons.
        But what we are doing is completely incomprehensible:
        We maintain a million-strong MOBILIZATION army, which we are equipping very gradually with new types of weapons, which require considerable time for the development and appropriate training of personnel.
        We are structurally, and according to the types of main types of weapons, returning the army to the model of the Soviet army, which is preparing to fight in large-scale clashes (such as the Battle of Kursk, for example). Are we getting ready for the third patriotic war?
        Our president recently stated that we would not allow our army to be weaker than the US army.
        And what does the USA have to do with it - a country located on another continent. And why should we compete with her? Besides this, we have no problems for which even oil and gas money is not enough?

      A super option, in addition to eyes and ears, mobile communications, the Internet, global positioning and much more interesting things + radioactive fragments will hit our heads. Yes there, besides their companions, there are also Chinese and European, well, these are trifles.

      Yeah, Academician Sakharov also suggested that a hydrogen bomb be detonated off the coast of the United States so that they all were washed away into the oceans.

      The Second World War was, as they say, a "war of motors", the next one will probably become a "war of hackers". There is no need to blow up anything in orbit. We need to reprogram everything American. And not only in space. But also on the ground, at sea, in the air in such a way that any missile they fired in our direction would come to the starting point! It is obvious!!!
      Besides. War requires a lot of money. With the help of hackers, you can reset the accounts of any states (sometimes something similar happens in miniature even now). With the zeroing of accounts, the war ends.
      Now we are surrounded by American missile defense. You can make it so that they begin to spontaneously self-destruct. It is necessary to train specialists in sufficient quantities of the required level with the possibility of self-development. But it is necessary to send some of these specialists to a probable enemy the day before yesterday or even earlier.
      It turns out a war without blood (almost), but with a large number of prisoners (all NATO). There is something to occupy them with. Will become relevant, please contact!

    The most interesting thing is that the United States places weapons in Europe to protect it from Russian aggression, but Russia does not threaten anyone. Other threats, (Iran, Syria, etc.), the United States creates artificially. I do not understand the Europeans. Russia has never attacked anyone, but enlightened Europe has received in the face many times from the Russians for the wars imposed on us. It turns out that each generation of Europeans makes its own story, and either does not know the previous one, or it does not teach them anything. As for America, it will soon digest itself in its hatred.

    There will be no arms race. The financial situation of our country will not allow unlimited spending. Before and the experience of previous decades shows that excessive weapons with different systems did not justify itself. Better less, but more effective and deadlier, the main thing is to bring everything to mind so that it works like a clock. It is necessary to correctly prioritize which systems are needed and work tirelessly in these areas, as they say. But in the United States, on the contrary, you need to put big and thick, to get out of all the agreements, which impose restrictions on the development and testing of new products. And we will be happy.

The conclusion is that you need to break the dollar as a world currency, there are many economic structures such as brix, shos, asian, etc., and inside you can trade with them as you like and anything but not for $ and euro, at least for yuan and kerdyk will come.

    ABM destroyers deployed at military bases in Europe pose a potential threat to the interception of Russian land and sea-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), the expert is convinced.



    In the picture, the flight path of ICBMs from the base in Kapustin Yar to Washington:

    Can someone explain what kind of miracle the Americans did, which from the Mediterranean Sea can intercept ICBMs on the indicated trajectory ??? And what about the launch from the Urals, Siberia or the Far East? And from the submarine to the Arctic Ocean?

    To do this, it should at least develop a speed of 2-3 times more than ICBMs, and this is 15-20 km / s.
    But even if we assume that the "American genius" created such a miracle, then to intercept it would have to break the laws of physics. At this speed, the anti-missile missile will immediately leave the earth and then the solar system.
    Moreover, for such an interception, the missile defense system must know the flight path even before the ICBM launch.

    In general, either aliens work for the Americans, or they keep us for fools.

        I’ll explain how I think. Americans don’t know the geography and seem to believe that the missiles on the map will fly in a straight line. And then the deployment of missile defense in Poland and Romania looks justified. They don’t seem to know that the earth is round. Even if you launch a missile from Chukotka or from China, it will still fly over Poland. I would not be surprised if the route from Alaska to Chukotka passes according to the opinion of Amers through Canada, Greenland, Iceland, etc.

          The danger of such a delusion is that the Americans, being confident in their invulnerability, can start a nuclear war with Russia and China. I am sure that the military in the Air Force and the Navy know how things are going, but it is not warriors who start wars, but politicians. Look at McCain and McFaul (“why do the Russians consider us enemies, do we tell them that we are friends?wassat ") and the level of intelligence of US politicians becomes apparent.

          Ballistic missiles that accelerate to near-first cosmic velocity cannot fly along a curved path. Even if the trajectory is bent, then it smoothly bends, turning thousands of kilometers. And the trajectory through the Arctic Ocean is the shortest way to the Americans. And since the ocean is covered with ice at 100%, the missile defense system there is very difficult to install. And the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and the Mediterranean Sea are a continuous missile defense system of NATO, America and Japan.

      The fact is that the anti-missile is made on the basis of a minuteman rocket and no one will tell us which warhead is placed on it. It turns out that missiles with strategic range and not subject to control are located near our borders. Almost the same thing can be said about Aegis, except that these medium-range missiles are generally prohibited. And the main risks are here, and not that they will bring down something.

      This can be done by the Aegis system - the American naval multifunctional combat information and control system (CIUS), which is an integrated network of naval means of lighting the environment, weapons, such as anti-aircraft guided missiles Standard missile 2 (SM-2), SM-3 and SM- 6, and controls, formed on the basis of the widespread introduction of automated combat control systems (ASBU). The system allows you to receive and process information from sensors of other ships and aircraft of the connection and issue target designations to their launchers. The name "Aegis" also bears the air defense system used as part of this CIUS.
      To date, the Aegis MBIUS is used by the Navy of the USA, Spain, NORWAY, the Republic of Korea and the Naval Self-Defense Forces of Japan (in total, more than 100 ships are equipped with it). Soon, the Aegis installation is expected on the new Australian Navy air defense destroyers. In addition, US Navy ships equipped with this system will be used as a ship component of the European missile defense system (NATO).
      The trajectory is just through the territory of Norway. And in the Baltic Sea you can shoot down.

        The fact is that the marching rocket engines with an increase in the load on the 100 gr. increase by 100 kg. And this rocket needs to overcome 8 km / s in order to shoot down satellites. Therefore, the first models SM-2 and SM-3 are purely kinetic direct hit missiles. If you make nuclear stockpile on a rocket, then the rocket will simply turn into an ordinary ballistic missile, a slow-moving one and not knocking anyone down. At school, physics had to be friends.

I do not pretend to be a STRATEG, there are people who are really specialists in such matters. But somehow ashamed of us and insulting. They slaughter us like sheep, but we are silent. You ask me who cuts us and how? And how many of us are left? Alcoholism, drug addiction, corruption of youth, privatization, Gorbachev, Yeltsin ... collapse of the USSR. Where do you think your legs grow? The defense is always crowded, there is not enough room for maneuver and you have to predict the possible attacking actions of the enemy. Therefore, you need to dictate your own rules of the game, and this is best done in an attack. And over time, and get to the United States. Everything is possible for Russia, but not with this government. These are weaklings and cowards.

    “To put it simply, our new missiles are approaching the characteristics of their old ones. However, despite the higher accuracy of American missiles, the difference will not be significant in the performance of combat missions, ”Zolotarev told Russian Planet.
