Chapter 389: Vanguard Missile, Shocking the World
So the first test launch, the data, the effect was unexpectedly good.
There was only one minute left, and everyone in the entire command center was watching with bated breath as the Pioneer missile continued to fall from 100 kilometers in the atmosphere.
Finally, between breaths, the Pioneer ballistic missile, which broke through the atmosphere and then appeared over the Arctic Ocean. Then, at extreme speed, he dived towards the Russian decommissioned destroyer that had long been parked on the sea.
It was too late to say that it was too fast, and everyone didn't even have time to blink their eyes, only to see the missiles that came at a rapid pace, and they hit the target in an instant!
Immediately afterward, a violent explosion exploded over the Arctic Ocean. The steel wreckage, torn apart by the explosion, scattered in the air with flames in the impact.
With a range of more than 5,000 kilometers and a perfect hit on the target, the key is the top speed of Mach 27 and the unimaginable attack mode. This made the two Canadian defense ministers in the hall secretly frightened.
If once this Russian Pioneer missile is officially put into service and mass production begins. Then his threat is even more terrifying than Russia's Tu strategic bombers. After all, strategic bombers can send fighters to intercept. It's a little more difficult at best.
And this Pioneer ballistic missile, with the current defense systems of various countries, is simply unable to resist. but the portion that was slaughtered.
As the missile was perfectly test-fired, enthusiastic cheers and applause broke out in the command center of the Russian Army Command. This is the first test launch of the Avangard missile, and if it flies smoothly for the second and third time, it will hit the target.
Then it means that this missile, without too many technical problems, can be mass-produced and officially put into service.
"Secretary Jackson, Secretary Eide, thank you both for coming to visit, my Russian missile test. When it was all over, Mavi said to the two ministers with a smile.
The stronger Russia's defense power becomes, the more secure it will be for him. In the future, the right to speak in the international community will also be heavier.
"You're gracious, Mr. Marvey, thank you very much for this hospitality," said Minister Jackson, somewhat unrelieved. All he thinks about now is Russia's latest Avangard missile.
Including just now, the missile broke through the atmosphere and flew 100 kilometers above the sky to do free navigation. The astonishing attack pattern is really shocking. So much so that when he went back to Canada, he didn't know how to describe this incident to the Canadian Prime Minister.
"You're welcome, Minister Jackson. Ma Wei said with a smile. He didn't mention Canada's ship order, nor did he hint at the other party, giving them this order. Because you don't have to.
After all, anyone with a little brain, after seeing clearly the situation in Europe, as well as Russia's military power, has increased significantly. will seriously think about which side to favor.
The next day, the test launch of the Russian Avangard missile was selectively reported by the military media. As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar around the world......
"Yesterday, our Russian Far East military base test-fired a newly developed Pioneer missile into the waters of the Arctic Ocean 5,800 kilometers away. The missile has a maximum speed of Mach 27 and a maximum flight altitude of 100 kilometers. It can break through the atmosphere, do free flight, and then dive down when approaching the target at a distance of 30 km...... The following is a picture of the missile test......"
The content of the military media's reports shows the characteristics of the Pioneer missile and its threat. This made the military of South Korea, France, Germany and other countries who saw the news smell a hint of danger in an instant.
"The Russians, this is secretly developing, a medium-range missile with a range of 5,800 kilometers, Mach 27, can break through the atmosphere, and then launch an attack?" the French Defense Ministry official looked at the report in shock. If everything is true, then this Russian Pioneer missile is even more dangerous than their Topol ICBM!
"5,800 km range? Is this another game of the 'INF Contract'? With the attack mode of this missile, China's anti-missile system has no way to intercept it at all. The German military was also worried by this news.
Conventional ballistic missiles, even intercontinental missiles, fly at an altitude of only 50 kilometers below the stratosphere. Therefore, the anti-missile system of any country in the world is designed to intercept missiles aimed at this height.
"Is it confirmed? Yesterday in the Arctic Ocean region, the destroyer that was blown up was the work of this Russian Pioneer missile?" The British Prime Minister, who had just returned to Britain from Russia, was secretly frightened when he looked at this report.
Last week, the Russian president did reveal that they were about to test a missile. It's just that the British Prime Minister at that time, like the Canadian Ministry of Defense officials, didn't pay much attention to it.
But now, as soon as the report comes out, it's completely different. The British president read the news word by word, and suddenly felt that if Britain could become an ally with Russia, it would also seem like a good thing. After all, now, Germany and France, the two white-eyed wolf countries, are no longer reliable.
And Brexit has officially embarked on the process. Rather than really come to the day of Brexit, look for the Russian alliance. It's better to plan ahead and plan carefully for the next step.
Due to the latest Russian development of the Avangard ballistic missile, it caused an international sensation. So not only did it make his opponents feel a lot of pressure. Moreover, the Canadian government's international bidding tendency is gradually tilting towards Russia and the United Kingdom.
First, the British and Canadians have made a deep friendship since a long time ago (during World War I and World War II, Canada followed the British and picked up a lot of bargains). Second, the overall situation of the EU is worrying, and the UK's withdrawal is a very serious blow to it. Maybe in the future, the euro will not be able to become the second largest currency against the dollar.
So after careful consideration, the Canadian Ministry of Defense decided to divide the $30 billion ship order between 16 billion and 14 billion to British and Russian shipyards.
To this end, Canada's Minister of National Defense, Jackson, also held a press conference to announce the final results of the international bidding.
"After a heated discussion between our Canadian Ministry of Defense and the Royal Canadian Navy, I would like to formally announce that 12 Type 45 Brave-class destroyers will be imported from the United Kingdom. 6 Modern-class destroyers were introduced from Russia, as well as 4 Amur-class submarines, 6 missile boats, 5 minelayers. ”
