Anti-missile airship dropped in Pennsylvania, leaving 30 thousand people without electricity

92
Information Agency Reuters reports that in the state of Pennsylvania (USA) collapsed the airship, which defended Washington from a missile strike. The airship, which was used by the US military in the state of Maryland, broke away from the cables holding it and began free movement in the sky over the United States to the north. After some time, he was already seen over Pennsylvania.


Anti-missile airship dropped in Pennsylvania, leaving 30 thousand people without electricity


During his flight, the airship managed to hook several power lines with a cable, disrupting power supply in a number of localities. In total, about 30 thousand people remained without electricity in the eastern United States.

According to "BBC" the airship "quietly descended in a wooded area near the town of Harrisburg." The same media writes that no one was hurt.

News agency Reuters reports that the airship fell into a hollow covered with forests, flying nearly three hundred kilometers. During the flight, the airship, which monitored the air situation for the probable use of missiles, badly patched the nerves of the US Air Force — the F-16 fighter jets, which accompanied the air object interfering with the flight, had to be lifted into the sky.

In NORAD (United Command of Aerospace Defense of the United States and Canada) report that the airship was one of the elements of air defense and missile defense. It was equipped with a special radar that can track potential threats of a missile attack on the US capital.

        In the mid 80-ies of XX century. The command of the U.S. Navy suddenly again remembered the airships, preoccupied with the idea of ​​creating an aircraft lighter than air, which would carry out the tasks of early warning radar (DRL).
        Such an airship DRLO could provide timely detection of sea and air targets, including low-flying cruise missiles, as well as small boats that the mafia uses for drug smuggling. The command of the U.S. Navy has developed its requirements for the airship.
        He should have the ability to patrol over the ocean at a cruising speed of 75 km / h for more than 30 days with refueling from ships every 5-6 days. From the airship DRLO was required the ability to fly on instruments in adverse weather conditions and at night. In the competition for the development of such a miracle of technology, the world-famous Boeing company and the lesser-known Goodyear and Westinghouse joined in.
        Westinghouse successfully cooperated with the British company Hership Industries. They took the Sentinel 5000 English project as their basis and won a landslide victory. Their bellied airship, dubbed YEZ-2A, had a length of 125m with a diameter of 31,2. The spacious gondola housed double cabins, a shower, a separate galley and even a small gym. The joint Anglo-American design first came to the test in the early nineties. It all ended up in the fact that in 1995 YEZ-2A burned out during a fire in Wicksville hangar. However, the creators of the airship are not discouraged and still suggest, based on their development, to create a solid radar shield around the US sea borders.

      Military airships: what will be the Russian Air Force of the future - http://tvzvezda.ru/news/forces/content/201507061801-4yph.htm
      excerpts -
      The fact that inhabited airships can be armed with the Russian army has been said more than once. And so it became known that by the end of the 2018 year the Atlant airship will be built in the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
      .
      Avgur-RosAeroSystems, which offers to produce airships for the Russian army, has the ability to conduct a full cycle of work to create aeronautical equipment. The design of the apparatus is carried out by its own design bureau, and multifunctional production includes a unique section for the assembly of shells and a modern welding line. There is also its own flight test complex and aviation training center.
      .
      The current airships are no longer the simple devices of the last century, and not even the Gindenburg giant. Their body is based on a multilayer composite fabric, and the shell is made of modern high-strength materials. By the way, the use of composite materials provides an airship and another plus: stealth for air defense systems. The device is transparent to radio waves and does not radiate heat. The shells are filled not with explosive hydrogen, as before, but with non-combustible helium. In modern airships, an autopilot system and other high-tech equipment are also used.
      .
      The military future of airships and balloons is very real. The Dolgoprudnensky Automation Design Bureau is currently working on the Peresvet device, which is capable of detecting Tomahawk and Tomahawk cruise missiles at a distance of up to 400 kilometers. As the representative of the Design Bureau Sergey Bendin emphasizes, the radar station installed at Peresvet simply “hangs” at a height of several kilometers, so it does not have “dead zones”.
      .
      Today, the emphasis is on transport and reconnaissance use, as well as on the use of these devices for warning and emergency response. In the 2014 year, the Military Industrial Commission under the Government of the Russian Federation included in the program “Innovative Transport of the North” the introduction of a monitoring system for the Arctic regions using airships equipped with thermal imagers, radars, laser sensors and video cameras.

        here is info from 1-08-2011

        The RF Ministry of Defense tests military balloons "Peresvet"
        The Russian Defense Ministry, together with the Dolgoprudny Automation Design Bureau (DKBA), is testing new military Peresvet balloons, a high-ranking DKBA representative told RIA Novosti on Monday.
        "Peresvet" is a mobile reconnaissance complex designed for long-term holding (up to 15 days) at an altitude of up to 3 kilometers for observation, communications, early warning of enemy attacks and air support for ground operations.
        "The Ministry of Defense is interested in purchasing this equipment. But the decision on the purchase will be made only on the basis of the tests, which will last until the end of this year," said the representative of the DKBA.
        The official representative of the military department, Colonel Vladimir Drik, in an interview with RIA Novosti noted that in case of successful tests, the Ministry of Defense plans to acquire two tethered balloons per year until the 2014 of the year.
        According to him, tests of the "Peresvet" complex are taking place on the territory of the Volsk aeronautics center (Saratov region).


        it is likely that they are already on the database ...

        Isn't that the same thing ??? Or again, journalists, victims of the exam, like the Kyrgyz akyns - write what they see, but do not understand?

      For how many years blurry conversations have been going on ... There is a company that has developed and offers reliable, inexpensive airships to everyone in a row ...

      Our MO still does not see the scope for them ... This is either stupidity, or the usual lack of money ...

      Although how many times it has been talked about the possibility of using airships as an element of airborne ballistic missile systems over the vast expanses of the Urals-Siberia and indeed ... Both cheap and cheerful ...

    During his flight, the airship managed to hook several power lines with a cable, disrupting power supply in a number of localities. In total, about 30 thousand people remained without electricity in the eastern United States.

    Whoa! A new word in warfare! The balloon trawls all the wires below, cutting off the lines of communications and power supply to the enemy! A really dangerous thing! After all, cunning Americans came up with such a wunderwaflu and decided to deceive everyone, calling it some kind of "anti-missile airship"! wassat

    I apologize, corrected "I did not rise, but only planned!
    Avgur-RosAeroSystems holding plans to build the Atlant airship by the end of 2018, which can subsequently be used in the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defense. About this "Interfax" said the vice president of the company Mikhail Talesnikov.

    "At the end of June, the defense of an innovative vehicle project - the Atlant airship, will take place, and we are talking about two modifications with a carrying capacity of 16 and 60 tons," he explained.
    The first stage of development work on the creation of the airship will be completed in December. It is planned that by this time a layout of an innovative balancing system will be developed. “In 2016, the construction of the first instance will begin, the completion of its construction and the start of flight tests of a prototype with a carrying capacity of 16 tons and a volume of 30 thousand cubic meters are planned for the end of 2018,” said the vice president of the holding.
    Talesnikov stressed that no one in the world will outstrip Russian development, even in the medium term. “When unloading a payload at the point of arrival, the airship can become heavier without taking on board ballast, only by onboard means, so that after unloading it is not pulled into the stratosphere. This system is unique, there is no such thing anywhere else abroad, ”he added“ Coincidence? I don't think so! "")))

      "Where's the missile tracking super equipment?"

      It is in the pylon under the airship.
      it will be removed and transferred to another airship.

      In any case, the system of such airships is much cheaper than the satellite
      and much more effective than ground-based radars.

    The reconnaissance deryzhbandel came off and flew, closing the high-voltage power lines with a piece of cable. Broke away a couple of days after posting a vacancy for "airship caretaker" from US NAVY. It happens ... One thing that's interesting is that this bubble from whom did the USA defend with all its "electronic reconnaissance power"? From Mexican illegal aliens or from Texas cactus woodpeckers? What was he doing there? As a version, a cut of the American military budget, where the wrench from the entrenching tool stands like an engine from a hummer. It happens! How it happens!

      Such balloon complexes (and by no means airships!) Are used for very specific purposes. First of all - as signal repeaters. For example, the Russian complexes "Eel" and "Teleskop", which worked on the "Perimeter", better known as the "dead hand". If the Yankees have exactly the same, why be surprised? Moreover, in the field of aeronautical technology, they always went ahead.
      And secondly - as stations for observation and control of airspace. A sort of sedentary "Awax" with very broad capabilities. I can assume that such systems are needed by the NSA for their needs. We also need the FBI to counter illegal immigrants and drug trafficking on the Mexican border.

    Russian in white, the airship was one of the elements of air defense and missile defense. It was equipped with a special radar capable of tracking potential missile attack threats in the US capital.

    Do you think the majority reads? After all, it is necessary to make a mistake. Why, the Americans have another emergency, the airship flew away, fell and 30 thousand were left without light. And we don't need anyone to fall. Wind or God forbid "Suddenly cold and ice set in" and maybe sit without light for several days.
    All right, I would have such airships in the air defense system — it would be possible to wiggle. And so there is none of ours, so let's at least laugh at the Americans ...

    I agree, it would be nice to hang over the immense "Derizhapley" equipped with military, capable of selectively jamming enemy satellites.
    If the ceiling is 50 km, then hang a garland on the trajectory of the cruises so that the enemy satellite is deaf and blind, and at the same time that it serves as a warning about a missile attack.
