Norway is involved in US missile defense to monitor Russian territory

The journalist of the television and radio company NRK (Norway), Bord Wormdal, in his book "Satelittkrigen", quotes Theodore Postol, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: "It is difficult to understand how the radar located in Vardø is not used as part of the US missile defense. After all it is the only radar capable of distinguishing real from false warheads.Globus II is the only radar that has a resolution and range that can receive such information to track intercontinental ballistic Sgiach missiles in the area from Iran to central and eastern US. " Radar "Globus II" from the bases located on the Kola Peninsula of the North fleet Russia is located several tens of kilometers in the city of Vardø in eastern Norway.

Professor Postol, an expert in the field of radar systems, for several years conducted research on the work of the US missile defense system deployed in Europe. “The European tracking radar deployed in the Czech Republic (in the middle section of the trajectory) is significantly inferior in detecting, recognizing and tracking real warheads,” he argued in 2008 year. Globus II was originally located in California at the US Air Force Base Vandenberg. The purpose of its creation was to obtain intelligence data on ballistic missiles. In Vardø, the radar was installed in the 1999 year. According to the Norwegian authorities, radar is used to detect space debris. However, there is information that the Globus II uses the Norwegian intelligence service. On its website there was relevant information about it. Description page is currently unavailable.

Bard Varmdal writes in his book that Vardo is ideally located to track Russia's intercontinental missiles in the area from Kamchatka to Plesetsk. This space covers six time zones. Data on the trajectories of warheads and missiles, allowing to organize their interception, for the United States is of great importance.

It is not used in the American missile defense because Norway does not want to get a nuclear missile on its head if something suddenly happens))

[Drcoks]

Nuclear is not necessary

[urzul]

I feel right after March 12 to wait for guests from NATO with the goal of fighting democracy and helping the Russian people to fight the Putin regime, which rigged the elections. And Yavlinsky Kasparov and others will withdraw their supporters for showing to Western journalists

Have you forgotten what in Russia? And Russia, under full satellite control, got fucked up there or something? Curious Barbara tore off her nose in the market !!!

[Dart weyder]

one of the primary targets for destruction - the Norwegians themselves lay their heads on the "Domokles" sword of a nuclear strike, in which case, there is nothing to six UWB

[kress42rus]

and from this it was necessary to start, and then they lied that against Iran

It is interesting to whom the Norwegian authorities are reassuring with their space debris?
Maintenance and maintenance of the radar is not a cheap job, and Americans for such good purposes as tracking space debris would not have given such a toy.
Conclusion. Its deployment in Norway was originally intended to track Russian missiles. It would be better if they watched the garbage that fell out of their mouth, they could not come up with a normal misinformation.

Guys, this radar is very vulnerable.
They still have a floating, very powerful being in Alaska. With this a little harder.
In general, the guidance system for amers is mainly GPS-oriented.
If the satellites are destroyed, the amers will be "blind" with all their technologies. Without satellite referencing to the terrain, their equipment gives large errors.
This is their strong component, but as long as it works.
Therefore, it is logical in a quiet manner to launch killers into orbit.
Where their powerful radars are located, we are also well aware. Think over the tactics of 100% destruction of satellites and radars and you can put your feet on the table in negotiations with them.
Eh, in vain they curtailed the program of orbital fighters ...

Well, we installed it. This is a fait accompli and you can still break spears and sprinkle ashes on your head for a long time. You need to think about how to adequately respond. We can also find many such places from where we will view the whole world as through a magnifying glass. Cuba, Vinezuela, Vietnam, Korea, Kuril Islands, deploy sea-based radars! At the same time, all forces should be devoted to modernizing Russia's nuclear submarine fleet and developing new missile technologies (in particular, hypersonic ones). AND THE MAIN IMPORTANT IS TO STRAW CORRUPTION, THEFT, BRIBERY! Then the moral climate in the country will improve, and money for all projects will be found, and the people will be proud of their country, and not call it "rashka", "scoop, etc."

+ Develop industry and agriculture.

You guys quickly forget the news. Some time ago, the Pindosovsky satellite exploded in orbit for no reason, for no reason. Why would it be? After that, our satellites often stopped reaching orbit, and in large quantities

[Dock]

Quote: sir

our satellites often ceased to fly into orbit, and massively

It seems to me that everything is much simpler here - they are collected by migrant workers from Chinese counterfeit goods. Nobody has canceled the mess in the country. Unfortunately.

[dred]

Here, not only guest workers are guilty, but corrupt deputies such as the Medvedev are also guilty.

"Norway doesn't want to get hit in the head with a nuclear missile,"
"one of the primary targets for destruction - the Norwegians themselves lay their heads on the" Domokles "sword of a nuclear strike"

Guys, I understand that you are "s", but it is very incorrect to write such comments. Something Russia has become a lot of enemies lately. With the entire civilized world, they almost got into trouble. However, this is well deserved and correct.
