Volume Fourteen, Smoke of Gunpowder, Chapter 40, Killing Chickens with a Butter

The bandwidth of the ultra-high frequency and VHF radio stations that communicate with strategic submarines is very "very inefficient, and it takes several minutes to receive a message of only a few dozen characters. Therefore, after the Russian president issued a strategic counterattack order, the first to launch the counterattack was not the Russian strategic submarine hiding under the Arctic ice sheet, but the land-based missiles that escaped the disaster and the strategic bomber that swept the gorge in the air.

Moscow time, that is, the time of the Republic, is about the time of the republic. The 7th Battalion of the Russian Army Strategic Rocket Soldiers Depth Regiment deployed in the west of Ural Mountain, carrying the launch vehicle of the strategic ballistic missile at the Xiadongku, which was launched on the nearest launch point. The preparations before the launch only took 2 minutes. Without accurate positioning, the hoe launch vehicle launched three intercontinental ballistic missiles in turn. The targets of the three missiles were Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in the Republic, namely the three most populous megacities.

First of all, we have to admit that this missile launcher is very lucky.

According to the organization system of Russian strategic rocket soldiers, each battalion should have a launch vehicle, that is, a platoon, and a platoon. Before this, after receiving the strategic warning order, the battalion immediately carried out an emergency mobilization, and six missile launch vehicles in good condition left the cave as fast as possible. They were accurately positioned during the driving process. It can be imagined that when the precise strike of the Republic's Sky Army arrived, none of the six launch vehicles were spared, and all were done, although there was no

A vicious explosion accident occurred during the violent explosion, but it all caused serious radioactive pollution. Fortunately, the highway maneuvering speed of the missile launcher was not too slow. When it was hit, six launchers were all out of the battalion's bunker, more than 0 kilometers, and did not pose a threat to the battalion. Fortunately, the Republic's Tianjun did not attack the cave of the Russian missile launcher, so the Cao launcher, which was unable to enter the alert state in time due to the failure, was spared.

Secondly, we must admit that the battalion commander of the 7th Battalion was not confused.

After receiving the strategic counterattack order, the colonel battalion commander named Sergei immediately issued a counterattack order to the remaining ranks according to the time priority procedure. The so-called time priority procedure is to launch the missile in the shortest time, and do not care whether the missile can hit the target. Of course, in this case, the missile will definitely attack targets such as big cities, industrial centers, military bases, etc. rather than reinforced point targets, and the requirements for accuracy are not very high. When attacking megacities like Shanghai, even if they deviate thousands of meters.

, it will not have much impact on the attack result. It can be said that, under the circumstances at that time, the kinetic energy interceptor satellite of the Republic's Sky Army was still above Russia, and kinetic energy ammunition only takes 2 minutes to complete the attack. If the hoe launcher is precisely positioned, its whereabouts will be exposed. Because the ascending flight stage of the ballistic missile is dozens of seconds, even if the missile can be launched before the kinetic energy ammunition falls, it may not necessarily allow the missile to fly over the Republic. It may even cause the missile to fall due to a fault. The consequences are definitely unimaginable.

Of course, no matter how lucky or smart you were, the Republic's Heavenly Army sounded the alarm after the three missiles were launched.

Before the strategic defense system was launched, strategic alert satellites were launched, and they were a necessary weapon for nuclear powers. To put it simply, strategic alert satellites are wide-area reconnaissance satellites specially used to monitor the enemy's homeland. They are generally equipped with three different cameras: visible light, infrared and ultraviolet. They are passive detectors that work in these three bands. As long as the enemy's missiles take off, they can immediately detect the radiation signal generated by the missile tail flame and sound the alarm. Of course, modern strategic alert satellites also have positioning functions and are linked to the strategic defense system through satellite data. That is, when an alarm is issued, the target's position information has been sent to the strategic defense system. In this way, no one is needed to control it. The central computer of the strategic defense system will automatically control the intercepting satellites over the missile launch area to intercept the missiles and the missile projected warheads.

That's why the three missiles were launched about seconds after they were launched. Just after they left the troposphere and entered the stratosphere. The spike-high-energy laser broke through the sky and landed on the warheads of the three missiles. To be precise, they enveloped the warheads of the three missiles and quickly moved to the fuel tank section below the warheads.

As the laser beam shone on the fuel tank section, the first "Mom immediately exploded in the air and turned into a dazzling ball of fire. After the dazzling light dissipated, the burning shell fell to the vast Siberian plain. The problem was that the interception was a little late. The other two missiles completed the body-shot separation before the laser beam shone on the fuel tank section. Under the action of the explosion bolt, the bullet body that had not yet been used up was actively separated from the warhead wrapped tightly by the insulation layer.

Although the laser beam also made rapid adjustments. It caught up with the bullet body whose falling rate actually slowed down, and burned through the shell of the bullet body, causing the remaining fuel to explode inside. However, at this time, the bullet body and the warhead were separated by hundreds of meters, and the speed difference between the two reached thousands of meters per second, so the shock wave generated by the explosion of the bullet body did not affect the high-speed rising warhead. Instead, it interfered with the interceptor satellite, and lost the warhead that was flying in orbit.

The battle did not end. The interceptor satellite equipped with high-energy exciters and the second interceptor satellite in orbit higher than 1,000 orbits. That is, the interceptor satellite equipped with ten-unit broad beam weapons immediately received a message from the central computer and launched an interception operation in advance. As the two warheads left the interference area caused by the explosion of the bullet body, two high-energy neutral particle beams with speeds up to 1,000 kilometers per second were shot from the otter interceptor satellites at an altitude of about 1,000 kilometers from the ground.

After being illuminated by the particle beam, the warhead with a slightly higher flight trajectory was only irradiated by the silent particle beam. As the insulation layer on the surface of the warhead was completely vaporized, the huge heat generated by friction with extremely lean air during high-speed flight immediately ignited the flammable material inside the warhead, and finally detonated the attitude control rocket engine and the reentering atmosphere of the high-energy fuel in the rocket engine. In a violent explosion, this Wu 10,000-ton nuclear warhead missile warhead was cavitated into a little shooting star in Omsk City, Siberia, Russia, and the wreckage of the warhead fell into Russia.

The warhead with a lower flight altitude was not affected much except for damage to the insulation layer under the irradiation of the particle beam. Although theoretically, when the insulation layer is damaged, the warhead will definitely be burned when it enters the dense atmosphere again, and the delicate nuclear warhead inside will be ruined, the Republic's National Strategic Defense System did not let this missile warhead that also carries a 10,000-ton nuclear warhead.

When the last warhead escaped from the particle beam irradiation range, two kinetic energy interceptor missiles equipped with self-guided systems have been fired from the kinetic energy interceptor satellite in the near-Earth orbit, and are catching up with the missile warhead that is still flying towards the largest city of the Republic at a speed of more than the old kilometers per second. Because it is a tangent pursuit, the relative speed of the missile warhead and the interceptor missile is about every kilometer thrown, and the entire pursuit process lasts only a second. In other words, the missile warhead was caught up by the interceptor missile when it arrived over Barnaul, the capital of the Altai Krai, and was hit by two interceptor missiles one after another, and was shot down before it entered the descending trajectory.

At this point, the interception was declared to be over. All missiles were launched to warheads were shot down, and it took less than 2 minutes. On the surface, this extremely short battle could be considered as a surprise, but in essence, the prerequisite for being able to achieve "at surprise without danger" is the large amount of effort in the early stage, or the huge investment of tens of trillions of yuan, and the hard work of tens of thousands of military researchers of the Republic over the past decades.

Decades of achievements are reflected in this short bell.

In essence, this interception battle is definitely much more dangerous than it seems.

It must be admitted that Russia was developing for the early years, completing the design at the end of the blade era, and mass-producing and equiping troops in the early years. It is known as the world's last strategic ballistic missile, "Mom", is indeed a strategic weapon with advanced performance and huge threats.

First of all, Mom used a fast-burning solid rocket engine. It is precisely because Mom can leave the relatively dangerous troposphere in seconds after launching the backshock. And leave the dense atmosphere at a speed twice that of the previous ballistic missiles. The biggest benefit of shortening the flight time of the missile in the dense atmosphere is to increase the survival probability of the missile. You must know that if the missile is fast enough to intercept in the dense atmosphere, it will pose a threat to the local area, just a little bit.

The damage can cause the missile's fuel compartment to explode. The first missile shot down, that is, the missile that was shot toward the capital of the Republic, Beijing, is still the nominal capital of the Republic because of the closest attack distance. At the latest, it did not leave the dense atmosphere before the interception began. The missile body was covered by a laser beam before it was separated from the warhead, not only lost the opportunity to leave the atmosphere, but also polluted the area below tens of thousands of square kilometers.

Of course, just a quick-burning solid rocket engine is nothing. Only by choosing the right ballistics and leveraging the performance of the system can it be considered a truly excellent ballistic missile.

This is another one of my mothers' strengths, that is, when attacking different targets, you can automatically select the most suitable ballistic according to the distance of the target. You need to guide yourself. In the past, ballistic missiles had only fixed ballistics, and attacking different targets was determined by the time of throwing the warhead. It can be imagined that missiles using fixed ballistics are definitely more likely to be intercepted.

Not to mention, when using a fixed trajectory, the maximum range will definitely be used to determine the ballistic altitude, because the ballistic height determines the range, and at the maximum range, the ballistic altitude is naturally the highest. In other words, the missile's flight time is relatively long and it needs to fly in outer space, which is equivalent to giving the opponent an excellent opportunity to attack the interception system. After flexibly choosing the ballistic, not only will the missile's flight route be made more difficult to calculate, but it can also greatly shorten the flight time and the flight distance in outer space, thereby greatly improving the missile's survivability.

One thing that has to be mentioned is the attenuation effect of particle beam weapons in the atmosphere.

As we all know, from the perspective of energy, lasers are pure energy weapons, that is, the high-energy laser beam emitted itself does not have a mass or is accurately static mass, and rely entirely on the energy carried by photons to destroy the target. Particle beam weapons are quasi-energy weapons, that is, the high-energy laser beams emitted are actually some of the quasi-energy laser beams that fly at a speed of junction. They have mass and can be used to destroy the target through basic particles carrying the energy of local energy. This is why, in the atmosphere, the attenuation speed of particle beam weapons far exceeds that of laser weapons, even neutral particle beam weapons. The reason is very simple. Elementary particles flying at high speed will collide with gas molecules in the atmosphere, thereby changing direction or completely dissipating, affecting other nearby elementary particles, thus greatly weakening the energy of the particle beam.

That's why particle beam weapons are only suitable for use in outer space.

This is also the reason why the warhead with a high trajectory and flying towards Guangzhou was destroyed by a particle beam, while the warhead with a low trajectory and only lost some heat insulation coating. Of course, the key is for 48 with a maximum range of 1.5 kilns of blade, when attacking Shanghai, which is 1.5 kilns of kilometers away, and Guangzhou, which is 1.5 kilns of kilometers away, there is no need to use a higher flight trajectory. It is even possible to use a lower trajectory, that is, to control the ballistic altitude below the aid of a kilometer, so that the warhead can always fly at the top of the dense atmosphere, abandon the main engine in advance, and let the warhead rely on the additional thrust provided by the accelerating rocket engine at the end of the flight to extend the range, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the warhead's survivability. Without this technology, the warhead with a flying towards Shanghai would definitely be shot down by a particle beam weapon.

From these two rounds of interception, it can be seen that laser weapons and particle beam weapons are definitely not omnipotent.

For laser weapons, because the atmosphere has refraction and emission phenomena, they can only attack targets within a certain area directly below. As long as the attack angle exceeds the design system, not only will the attack efficiency be greatly reduced, but it may even cause the attack to fail completely. For particle beam weapons, the biggest problem is the dissipation effect of the atmosphere on particle beams as mentioned earlier, making it difficult to use in the atmosphere.

That's true, when energy weapons were popular, one-third of the interception tasks in the Republic's national strategic defense system were still undertaken by kinetic energy weapons, that is, kinetic energy intercepting missiles with a flight speed of up to the old kilometers per second, and these missiles built the last line of defense for the space-based interception system.

For intercepting missiles, the most important thing is whether they can intercept before the target enters the descent trajectory.

The reason is very simple. If the target warhead enters the descent ballistic, the flight speed will soon exceed 8 kilometers per second, and it will soon enter the atmosphere. The most important thing is that the warhead must be above the republic's homeland at this time. Even if the interception is successful, the highly radioactive warhead fragments will fall on the land of the republic and even fall into the city, thus causing the interception to lose its due value.

Affected by this, after the first interception of the particle beam weapon fails, the space-based interception system will launch an intercepting missile.

Although doing so is likely to waste valuable interceptor missiles, BiJapan has let the nuclear warhead land on the Republic's mainland, and this waste is nothing.

This interception fully illustrates this issue.

If the missile is intercepted, it will be launched later. In the end, the deficient missile warhead will enter the territory of the Republic. Even if it can be shot down, the warhead fragments will fall on the Republic's land, causing immeasurable consequences.

Judging from the above analysis, the interception of these three missiles and warheads can basically be described as perfect.

You should know that if the "Mom's warhead enters the middle flight trajectory, that is, after completing the initial acceleration and ballistic adjustment, its warhead will automatically enter the combat mode. In addition to activating the attitude control engine and performing orbital maneuvering, it will also sprinkle warheads that are enough to distort real, causing greater burden on the interception system, and at least it will have to waste more combat power in the Republic's national strategic defense system.

What is even more fortunate is that those Russian missile launchers who survived precise strategic strikes are not on the scale.

Within nearly an old minute after intercepting the first batch of three missiles, the missile launcher with Fo Fu launched the "First Strategic Ballistic Missiles" in accordance with the counterattack order issued by the president. Among them, Shan launched according to the standard procedures, that is, it accurately positioned before launching the missile. As a result, the missile had just taken off. The kinetic energy warheads of the precise strike fell down, and the missiles all flew out of the violent explosion.

Destroy.

In addition, the Gun-English missile was launched according to emergency procedures. It was not accurately positioned and was aimed at the megacities of the Republic. Of course, the outcome of this Gun-English missile is similar, because the Republic's national strategic defense system can intercept thousands of targets at a time, so even if it is activated without intercepting satellites in orbit, it can easily intercept the Gun-English missile, which will not allow the counterattack of the Russian strategic rocket soldiers to succeed.

In fact, even if there is no space-based interception system, it is easy to catch up with the air-based and ground-based interception system. You should know that, many years ago, the Republic's air-based laser interception system successfully intercepted India's ballistic missiles in the Indian War. If you push forward, in the Japanese War before the Blade Years, the Republic's air-based and sea-based interception systems also successfully intercepted Japan's ballistic missiles.
