Chapter 410: Routine maintenance

The news of the failure of the THAAD system immediately alarmed the top level of the United States. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This system, which should now be regarded as a sharp weapon for the Americans to balance China, suddenly broke the news of the failure, which is indeed worrying.

As a result, the technicians of the manufacturing company immediately rushed to Xingzhou County with the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to deal with the malfunction.

But when they arrived at the scene, they found that the problem was more serious than they had imagined.

"Hell!"

"Have you been hit by an electromagnetic storm?!"

"Why is the entire radar system, without even a single chip, still working normally?!"

After the technician checked the equipment, he asked in shock.

"What?!"

"How is this possible?!"

"We didn't feel the slightest bit wrong!"

"How could it be that you have been attacked by an electromagnetic attack?!"

When the officers at the base heard this, they immediately felt that their heads were a little bigger.

After all, in this position, there are only two countries in total that can launch an electromagnetic attack on them, China and Russia, and these two big countries have the ability to launch electromagnetic attacks.

However, it seems that it is not easy to launch a precise electromagnetic attack on them, and it is impossible to be so accurate, only hitting the radar system without damaging other systems around it.

If such a level of technology can really be reached, it can only be said that the technology of the Chinese or the Russians has far surpassed that of the Americans, and they can bomb the sky.

Besides, launching an electromagnetic storm can directly turn them, the on-site workers, into flesh and ashes, which is also a matter of no doubt.

"Although you are not aware of it, judging from the reaction effect of the radar chip, it is indeed like this. ā€

"Although we can't be sure which electromagnetic attack it is, it is undeniable that all the chips have lost their utility. ā€

This was insisted on by the technicians, who believed that the base had suffered an electromagnetic attack.

However, the officers of the base believed that such a conclusion was unacceptable to them.

"Gentlemen, now we can investigate whether the AN/TP-2 radar deployed in other locations in the world is also malfunctioning?"

"If not, we have two guesses. ā€

"First, this batch of radars has hidden dangers formed in production. ā€

"Second, they were attacked individually. ā€

Finally, the agents from S.H.I.E.L.D. made a relatively clear judgment, which can be regarded as pointing out the direction of the investigation of this matter.

"Alright, let's do both of these things at once!"

After hearing this, the base commander nodded in agreement with the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent's train of thought.

However, it was not easy to deal with this matter, and he had to report to his superiors and then follow the Pentagon's guidance.

Fortunately, the efficiency of the Americans is still very good.

A day later, I received an order from the Pentagon that an investigation team had been assigned to deal with the matter.

But at this time, news suddenly broke out on the Internet.

"The THAAD system deployed by the United States in South Korea has a major failure!"

"According to the analysis, it may be a design hidden danger!"

"The AN/TP-2 radar is malfunctioning, and strong electromagnetic radiation may lead to the possibility that no one will survive for ten kilometers around!"

"Deadly radar, a peerless murder weapon!"

"The Pentagon hides the truth, the White House is silent!"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

All kinds of news, like spring shoots, grew like crazy.

The power of public opinion in the United States cannot be controlled by a certain party, and all of a sudden the White House feels tremendous pressure.

After all, forcibly deploying the THAAD system in South Korea is also a political risk.

"What's going on?"

"Why didn't the Pentagon report back to me?!"

The president expressed his great dissatisfaction.

Although this is only a technical failure of the THAAD system, and it may not be necessary to report it to the president, the THAAD system is now too widely involved in the relationship, and it can be said that it plays a pivotal role in the relationship with China, and it is very reasonable for the president to take the opportunity to ask for the expansion of power.

"It's just a matter of technology, there's no need to alarm Mr. President. ā€

The Pentagon gave such a decent answer.

"Fury, look at these GIs, what are they trying to do?!"

The angry president said to S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Fury.

"Maybe it's really just a technical glitch. ā€

"But there may be some hidden secrets in the radar failures of six systems at the same time. ā€

"After all, there are four sets of AN/TP-2 radars deployed in Japan, and there have been no problems, which are very safe and reliable. ā€

"I think it is necessary for the investigation team to carefully collect evidence and find the real cause. ā€

Director Fury replied very seriously.

"Okay. ā€

"Tell the Pentagon that if they can't fix it right away, the White House will intervene. ā€

The president thought about it for a moment, and then he made a decision.

*********

The technical representative of the plant was responsible for investigating the failure of the AN/TP-2 radar.

This time, they came with a large amount of professional and technical testing equipment, so in a very short period of time, it was determined that these six sets of radars had been completely scrapped, and there was no repair value at all.

"It's so bad, I'm drunk. ā€

"I don't believe it's a natural malfunction, it must have been caused by vandalism!"

The technical staff quickly reached a consensus and reported the answer to the members of the investigation team.

"Is it really sabotage?"

"Well, the responsibility rests on the officers at the base. ā€

"We have to find out who made this mistake that caused this sabotage?!"

After reaching this conclusion, the investigation team turned to two things, dealing with those responsible, and finding the saboteurs.

These two things are also difficult to solve.

Because they need to call up a lot of information to find the responsible and vandals.

The next thing is to get really tricky.

After their careful investigation and review of the surveillance video at the time, they did not find anything suspicious in it.

Even in the surveillance video at the time of the incident, you can clearly see that the guards arranged by the base are responsible for patrolling dutifully, and the surroundings of the base are full of energetic soldiers, and there are also staff members near the radar who stick to their posts.

"That's weird!"

"In such a situation, there is no possibility of being attacked and destroyed by someone!"

"And, since they are capable of destroying the radar system, why not destroy the command system by the way?"

"It's really hard to understand!"

When the investigation team got such a result, they all felt incomprehensible, and the entire investigation work immediately fell into confusion.

Who knows what's going on?

But one thing is certain, that is, now the whole world knows about it, the AN/TP-2 radar has a problem, and the THAAD system, which claims to be the vanguard of anti-missile defense, looks like nothing more than an unreliable product.

"It's kind of weird. ā€

"Although we can't say it explicitly, the original intention of our deployment of the six THAAD systems was to target the Chinese side. ā€

"Judging from the beneficiaries of this incident, the Chinese side has a motive to sabotage. ā€

"It's just that we can't come up with evidence to prove that the AN/TP-2 radar was destroyed by the Huaxia. ā€

"But we can start with this and do a cautious investigation. ā€

S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Fury finally made this suggestion to the president.

At this time, the president was also scratching his head.

Although they can blame the manufacturer for the problem and say that the quality of the AN/TP-2 radar is not up to par, those arms dealers are not easy to mess with, and since they say that this is the result of human sabotage, they will definitely not carry a black pot.

And in the United States, there is no need to say how powerful the arms dealers are, even the president cannot do them.

"Of course, it is appropriate for Chinese people to carry this pot. ā€

"But the problem now is that we need a new AN/TP-2 radar to deploy in South Korea. ā€

"Now that this has been done, we must not give up halfway, or the majesty of the United States will be challenged. ā€

The starting point of the president's view of the problem has always been to be a step above them, and it has long gone beyond the military and technological level.

"On the manufacturer's side, there is no extra AN/TP-2 radar kit, after all, the cost of this thing is too high. ā€

"If necessary, I think we can call two sets from the Japanese side first. ā€

Director Fury suggested.

After all, compared to South Korea, Japan has to be further behind, and it is good for everyone to move the THAAD system forward, anyway, it is all the stuff of the Americans, no matter where it is deployed, it is a group of Americans who are manipulating.

I believe that the Japanese will not make any objection to such a decision.

"What's the use of two sets!"

"Just call all four sets over!"

"Tell the Japanese, this is a routine overhaul, isn't it OK?"

Mr. President is still quite atmospheric, and he slapped the table and settled the matter.

Anyway, the Americans pinched the Japanese, which is called a sour, and they have long been used to being manipulated by the Americans.

As a result, the US military stationed in Japan began to take action, directly using heavy transport planes to install four sets of AN/TP-2 radars deployed in Japan, and then transported them to Seongju County, South Korea, as quickly as possible.

The Americans have always considered from the perspective of the global strategic layout, so their various equipment, from the very beginning, considered how to be able to deploy to all parts of the world as quickly as possible, not only the transportation equipment is very powerful, but the military facilities are also tailor-made.

Although the AN/TP-2 radar sacrifices its size, it improves its practicality and truly achieves rapid global deployment.

As long as the Americans have this thing in their hands, they can deploy it to any base on the planet within 12 hours.

And this thing is basically modular equipment, which is extremely versatile, so after the equipment was shipped to South Korea, the staff only did a simple connection and debugging work, and then re-entered the working state.

Then, Huaxia discovered that the AN/TP-2 radar on the South Korean side began to scan the Huaxia mainland again.
