The issue of medium-range missiles
Recently, we often hear about medium-range missiles, especially from our "partners." What is their concern? After all, America is used to dictate its "democratic" principles to everyone.
Here we recall the words of our president that we have something to answer, and to respond very effectively. And the sanctions imposed on our country, and all efforts aimed at isolating our country, lead to the conclusion: America is afraid of something.
So what we had. The Treaty on the Elimination of Medium and Small-Range Missiles (DRSMD), signed by Moscow and Washington 8 December 1987. The parties to the agreement pledged not to produce, test, or deploy ground-based ballistic and cruise missiles of medium (from 1 thousand to 5,5 thousand) and short (from 500 to 1 thousand kilometers) range. In the process of implementing the INF Treaty of the USSR, it was necessary to eliminate two times more missiles than the US (1846: 846), and almost three times more launchers (825: 289). Our eliminated missiles could carry almost four times more nuclear warheads than the US (3154: 846).
For more than two decades, our country has managed without medium-range and shorter ground-based ballistic missiles. Since then, the situation has changed significantly, and already six countries have medium-range ground-based missiles. Among them, China, Iran, North Korea, India, Israel, Pakistan.
Without a doubt, under the conditions of the US deployment of a global missile defense system and the growth of medium-range threats, the potential of the SNF will be insufficient for nuclear deterrence in all strategic areas.
Recently, the theme of the Mk-41 launchers, which the United States intends to deploy in Poland and Romania as part of the implementation of a "phased adaptive approach" to the deployment of a global missile defense system, is becoming increasingly topical. These launchers are capable of launching medium-range cruise missiles, and their ground variant can be considered as a direct violation of the INF Treaty. This is how the claims of Moscow were listed in the ministry (http://itar-tass.com/mezhdunarodnaya-panorama/1351376).
What can we counter as an answer?
ICBMs - Р-26 "Frontier".
Little information. But the possibility of application - up to 5500 km. Dmitry Rogozin called "Frontier" a "missile defense killer", implying that its combat units are unable to intercept neither the existing nor the promising missile defense system. As follows from the explanations of specialists, the combat equipment of the PC-26 missile complex flies along an unpredictable trajectory after separation from the rocket itself. The on-board computer constantly changes the course on the principle of sampling random numbers. You can not intercept the rocket.
Air defense and EKR.
Russia. SAM S-400 "Triumph" - (SAM) a new generation. Designed to destroy all modern and promising means of aerospace attack - reconnaissance aircraft, strategic aircraft (including invisible aircraft) and tactical aviation, tactical, operational-tactical ballistic missiles, medium-range ballistic missiles, hypersonic targets, jammers, airborne radar and guidance aircraft, and others.
Note that the maximum speed of the targets hit is 4800 m / s. Although already have a C-500. And even C-1000.
America. "Patriot" PAC-3. The maximum target speed is 2600 m / s.
Main TTX MIM104 rocket:
- rocket mass - 912 kg;
- The mass of the warhead - 24 kg;
- The maximum range of the intercepted target - 80 km;
- The maximum height of the intercepted target - 24 km;
- The minimum distance to destroy targets - 3 km;
- The minimum height of the flying target - 60 meters.
The lack of a missile defense mode. He needs a special satellite that is in orbit. This satellite should inform the location of the rocket and the trajectory of its flight to the PATRIOT location station. It takes as long as 90 seconds.
The satellite grouping of the American missile defense is designed to track the launches of ICBMs. It consists of eight spacecraft of the type “Imyus-2” (DSP) and six SBIRS-High, patrolling over the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian oceans and the European zone. The technical characteristics of the satellites make it possible to have a global area of view in longitude and latitude. The time of receipt of information - no more than two minutes after the discovery of the launch of a ballistic missile.
The advertised THAAD + “Arrow-3” is a ground-based mobile missile system for high-altitude over-atmospheric interception of medium-range missiles.
Aegis combat system is an American naval multipurpose combat information and control system (BIUS), which is an integrated network of ship means of illumination of the situation, means of destruction, such as anti-aircraft guided missiles Standard missile 3 (SM-3). The deployment of SM-3 sea and land-based missiles in northern and southern Europe is planned to be completed by the 2020 year, which, according to many Russian missile specialists, may question the stability of strategic nuclear forces on the European territory of Russia. And the question of the capabilities of the SM-3 rocket is well worth the open. This could trigger a strong arms race in Europe.
The cost of the rocket ranges in the range of 12-24 million. $. Total rocket manufacturer delivered more than 135 rockets, as of 2012 year.
About TTX little information.
21 February 2008 of the SM-3 rocket was launched from the Lake Erie cruiser in the Pacific Ocean and three minutes after the launch, an emergency reconnaissance satellite USA-247 at 193 7 m / s (580 27 KM / h) Some sources believe that the fact of destroying a target moving along an unchanged and previously known trajectory does not indicate the actual capabilities of this system and the SM-300 rocket 3B Block (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/SM-1).
Most likely, it cannot work on low flying targets.
This is where the question arises of the effectiveness of the American missile defense system for the CD at a speed of more than 2-4M. A denezhek already vbuhano lot.
Aviation. Boris Obnosov, Director General of Tactical Missile Armament Corporation, said that in 2016, the Russian army would receive the latest modification of an aircraft missile for a fifth-generation Russian fighter (PAK FA), ITAR-TASS reports.
He clarified that we are talking about the latest modification of the aviation cruise missile - X-74М2.
Boris Obnosov, Director General of the Tactical Missile Armament Corporation (KTRV): At present, the BrahMos Russian-Indian missile is considered to be the fastest cruise missile in the world. Its updated sample can reach speeds of sound speeds 7-8.
Now the rocket is capable of hitting ground targets at altitudes up to 10 meters. The maximum range of flight along the combined trajectory is 290 km, with low-altitude - 120 km. On the cruising stage, the maximum flight altitude reaches 14 km at a speed of 2,5-2,8M. The missiles of the ship complex have a combat unit with a mass of 200 kg, while the variant launched from a fighter (BrahMos A) can carry an 300 kg warhead. The altitude at the final leg is 10-15 m. Apparently, a breakthrough has been achieved in increasing the launch range to the target.
