Chapter 707: Please Answer: 1988 (II)
As for the Soviet Union, it was far inferior to the United States in this respect, especially in terms of cruise missiles with flexible and changeable combat methods, the Soviets were not a little behind the United States, not only in terms of basic research and development technology, but also in the field of the overall supporting system, and the United States' GPS satellite navigation system completed global coverage in the early 80s;
The Soviet Union's "GLONASS" of the same type has just launched several test satellites; the United States has been studying map-matching guidance since the 50s, and in the 80s, it has successfully applied this guidance method to cruise missiles by using advanced microelectronic technology.
The Soviet Union only began to explore similar guidance methods in the early 70s, and although the progress was very fast, the overall technical level was far from reaching the point of maturity, and it was precisely because of this that the Soviet Union's Kh-55 cruise missiles still used traditional inertial guidance, and as for the accuracy, it could not be compared with similar products in the United States!
More importantly, the Soviet Union lagged far behind the United States in the generalization of the three services, although the Soviet Union was the first country to develop and equip a shipborne vertical launch system, and had many pioneering ideas in many aspects of military industrial development, but for a long time the concept of one aircraft and one type, one ship and one type has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, although there are many advanced technologies, but limited by the old ideas, so that the Soviet Union often spreads a lot in the development of armaments, but the results achieved are often unsatisfactory;
The Kh-55 cruise missile is a very typical example, this was originally a long-range strike weapon equipped with the Soviet Union's cutting-edge strategic bombing Tu-160, and could have developed into a common long-range strike weapon for the army, navy, and air force, but I did not expect that the army and the strategic rocket force only had missiles ~~ missiles in their eyes, and they really looked down on this kind of "slow guy" that could be seen with the naked eye;
Although the Soviet Navy took a fancy to cruise missiles with low ballistics, small size, easy to avoid enemy radar detection, and was a good equipment for launching surprise attacks, it was very uninterested in the things of the Air Force, so it pulled a group of people and started a new stove to build a naval version of the cruise missile.
By the beginning of 1988, in addition to the initial combat capability of the Kh-55 cruise missile of the Air Force, the Navy's submarine-launched cruise missile had just completed the test launch, which was far from forming combat effectiveness, and the ship-launched type remained on paper, and there were still 108,000 miles away from its realization.
In particular, the latest cutting-edge "Oka" surface-to-surface missile can be called the pinnacle of short-range ballistic missiles, and it is not far behind cruise missiles in terms of range, accuracy, and flexibility; not to mention that it was a nightmare for the Western world after it was put into service in the mid-80s; even 30 years later, the "Iskander" missile, which was re-improved and put into service on its basis, still sent chills in the back of the United States and NATO.
It is such a missile that has always had a strong deterrent power for thirty years, just to sell more oil, to exchange more food, and to complete the political ambitions of Go~Er~Ba~Qiao~, so as to win a smile from the West, and just throw it away as an inconsequential piece of garbage.
Of course, the Soviet Union was the happiest at the United States, and it was even more comfortable to watch the Soviet Union wipe its neck, at least Lamitage was such a person, as a newly rising neoconservative in American political circles, his dream was to spread the glory of the United States to the whole world, so that the glory of the Roman Empire thousands of years ago would be realized again by the excellent Anglo-Saxon nation of the United States.
It is precisely because of this that he has an uncommon hatred for the Soviet Union, which is engaged in global hegemony with the United States, even if the Soviet Union has contracted strategically, even if it compromises with the United States step by step, Lamitage is still not satisfied, unless this polar bear named the Soviet Union has completely become a lifeless specimen, so that he can be completely reassured.
Otherwise, even if it wields a knife from the palace, even if it is covered in bruises, Lamitage only smiled coldly to express temporary relief, and then will still raise the shotgun in his hand, and pull the trigger without hesitation, although the United States does not have the warning that "it will also chase the poor with courage, and it is not allowed to become famous and learn from the overlord", but it also has the ruthlessness of "must kill the enemy in his lair", so after some excitement and joy, Lamitage quickly regained his composure, looking out of the porthole of the cabin, a little gray sky, and a little lonely.
The farmer of Baierdero, who was reading the "Holy !!!" Sutra, suddenly stopped abruptly and strangely, so he lowered the book slightly, pulled down the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and glanced at Lamitage obliquely:
"Why did you suddenly become silent?"
"No, sir, I'm not silent, just a little regretful!"
"What regrets?"
Hearing this, the farmer of Baierdero smiled, and immediately picked up the "Holy !!!!!" Sutra, gently turned a page, and said with great interest while looking at it:
"Do you think that the Soviet Union has not completely collapsed?"
Lamitage was slightly stunned, and his eagle-like eyes stared at the burly man hidden in the dim light in surprise, and asked puzzledly:
"Sir, don't you think so?"
"I think the same as you think, but it's different, do you know how many years it took Moses to lead his people out of the rule of the evil Pharaoh?"
"More than forty years!"
Although Lamitage is not as devout as the real boss who reads the "Holy !!!" Sutra every day, he is also a baptized Christian, so he is no stranger to the "Holy !!!!!" Sutra, which can be said to be at his fingertips, but because of this, he frowned:
"Sir, are we going to fight the Soviets for more than forty years?"
"More than 40 years?hahaha~~~~"
A hearty laugh suddenly sounded in the cabin, and then like a thunderous sound, it filled the sky, as if the whole world was dominated by him at this moment, and after the laughter, he slowly put down the book in his hand, and a trace of contempt flashed on his face, which was a meaningful cold snort:
"Hmph~~ Even if we have the energy to spend forty years, do you think the Soviets will have the ability to last another forty years? Tell you about Moses, just let you learn to be patient, as for the Soviet Union, they don't need us to do it, they will collapse themselves, and this time will not be too long, at most ten years, this huge empire will disappear!"
"How is this possible in less than ten years?"
Ramitage couldn't believe his ears, forty years is indeed a long time, because at that time Ramitage may have gone to see him!!ah!!The emperor went, but less than ten years seems too short, you must know that it is the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union that fought with Nazi Germany to the end during World War II, after the Cold War, due to the Soviet Union where the United States competed for hegemony in the world, the number of nuclear ~~ weapons in the world is the first, and the conventional forces are unparalleled in the world.
Even if the country is now in trouble, but the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that since the time of Tsarist Russia, the Russian nation has been known for its indomitable perseverance, it is hard to imagine that such a powerful country, a resilient nation will collapse in less than ten years, seriously, if it weren't for this sentence from the mouth of the mysterious Bairdro farmer, the big boss behind him, Lamitage would definitely think that this is the most ridiculous political ~~ joke of this century
The mysterious Baierdero farmer seemed to see what was going on in his heart as his agent in Washington, so he smiled slightly and continued:
"There is nothing impossible, the Soviet Union has been tossed into a mess by a group of old people, if it is safe and stable, it may be able to live well, but I didn't expect that there was a very ambitious but mediocre Ge ~~Er~~Ba~~Joe~~ Fu, he himself may be very talented, but he is a complete idiot in governing the country;
For three and a half years, the economy of the Soviet Union has not improved, but is still deteriorating greatly, and the Ge~~Er~~Ba~~Qiao~~ husband who cannot seek a breakthrough in the economy has chosen the form of politics ~~governance~~ knowledge, and as a result, the country has become more and more chaotic, and the opposition has been asking questions, and now the three Baltic countries have obvious separatist tendencies, and Estonia has even publicly abolished Soviet laws,
In addition to self-inflicted accidents, our emperor also seems to have abandoned this extremely cold land, not to mention the lack of grain harvest year after year, and the Chernobyl accident two years ago has made the Soviet government's ability to fall into a trough, coupled with the deep quagmire of Afghanistan,
Today's Soviet Union is no longer the fierce bear full of fighting spirit of the past, but a disease-ridden pug, no need for us to do anything, the virus hidden in its body will kill him, of course, if you want to help it ascend to heaven as soon as possible, you can also play a dozen catalysts, but at best it is just to let the virus breed faster, but it still does not play an essential role"
"Then how can the USSR be sent to the sickle of death?"
Hearing the words of the BOSS, Ramitage also believed a little, after all, the eyes of the mysterious Bairdro farmer, Ramitage knew, if nothing else, just say that the joint strangulation of Soviet oil and grain four years ago, the Star Wars plan to accelerate the hollowing out of the weak foundation of the Soviet Union,
The Soviet Union suddenly fell into an extreme passive situation, and then supplemented by powerful propaganda ~~~~, to achieve a good situation in which the United States has gained the strategic initiative, and because of this, Lamitage does not doubt the vision of the BOSS, but deep down he still can't believe it, so what he says seems very unconfident:
"Are we going to step up the arms race and trade wars?"
“NONO”
The mysterious farmer didn't care what Ramitage thought, and shook his head to himself: "At the moment, it is not us who put the last noose on the Soviet Union"
"Who's that?"
"China?"
“Why?”
"Because, Nan~~~ Sea!" (To be continued.) )
