Chapter 221: The Spear and the Shield
The ICBM is benchmarked against San'er, a battle that many countries dream of, and even the eyes of the US empire are wide-eyed.
This thing, or the strategic missile defense system it represents, has been hotly discussed for decades now, and the money alone has been invested in astronomical sums, and countless people of the US imperialist list regard it as the last protective umbrella, but no one knows whether this protective umbrella is real and can be relied on, or just an illusory bubble, after all, it has not undergone any actual combat tests.
The military's test does not count, everyone knows that this thing can be faked, and if you calculate the ballistics on both sides, that is, Ah San can use ground missiles to bombard incoming missiles, and the Patriot intercepts Scuds is also not counted, five times the speed of sound and twenty times the speed of sound is completely the difference between a bow and a rifle bullet, a bow and arrow can dodge, but I don't see anyone who can dodge a rifle bullet.
This time it can finally be tested, and it is the most difficult mid-course interception.
This is also helpless, because the long-dormant giant octopus of the Atlanteans has appeared in the eastern part of the Mozambique Channel, and the Thunder Dragon fighter of the Yongning Air Force is still providing air cover for it, in this case, the Aegis ship of the US imperialism is no different from suicide near Yongning. It can only give up the safest approach and intercept in the ascending stage, and in the same way that Pretoria is far from the coast, the terminal interception cannot be done either, and the rest can only be intercepted outside the atmosphere. This is the most difficult part of the anti-missile system, and the flight speed of an intercontinental missile at an altitude of hundreds of kilometers without resistance can reach the limit, and the speed of the discharged bullet is like a joke in front of this thing.
But the difficult one is also the easiest to test the strength.
Antananarivo.
Amid the cheers of his subjects, Wang Yue smiled and pressed the missile launch button, and the two missiles flew to the southwest with a gushing trail.
When the two missiles flew out of the clouds, the obvious tail flame was immediately caught by the missile warning satellite in space, because for historical reasons, the US imperialists did not have a long-range early warning radar within the effective distance around Yongning, after all, this area used to be as safe as their home's backyard.
The nearest giant radar is based in northwestern Australia. It is mainly used to monitor the Huaguo nuclear submarine and the Asan in the South China Sea, but even the super-horizon radar with a detection distance of thousands of kilometers cannot detect the missile launch from more than 7,000 kilometers away, so the early warning satellite is their only early warning means.
The satellite that caught the tail flame immediately passed the status number of the two missiles to the Aegis ship off the coast of South Africa and two AWACS planes flying from the Middle East, and the latter's large computer quickly began to calculate the number of ballistics, while the fire control radar was turned on and waited for the target.
Time passed in a flash, and it was only a few minutes for the ICBM to hit Pretoria from Antananarivo, and at the same time that the US imperialists had completed their preparations, their Aegis system radar had already locked on to the target. In order to ensure the success rate, the four Aegis ships of the United States fired a salvo of 16 Standard Type 3 interceptor missiles at these two missiles at one time, and the 16 missiles were fired one after another with extreme speed from the launch unit.
The whole world held its breath.
The sixteen missiles quickly rose into the air and hit their respective targets according to the previously calculated trajectory, and soon the first stage booster detached, gaining a faster speed after losing weight, and in a very short time the second stage booster also detached, and the missile speed increased further, and then the third stage. When the twin-pulse engine has finished burning in just twenty seconds. At this time, the speed of the Standard 3 interceptor missile had accelerated to more than three kilometers per second, the twenty-three-kilogram kinetic interceptor and booster were separated, the thermal imager instantly locked on to the target, and the lateral pulse engine was activated to correct the trajectory. Crashing into the target with a tungsten alloy piercing rod like lightning.
Sixteen kinetic interceptors, two intercontinental missiles with only warheads left, began a brilliant encounter between them in the anticipation of the whole world.
Close, close. At this exciting time...
Uh, they missed.
Just like countless sensational TV dramas, the fateful encounter turned into a passing by in an instant.
None of the sixteen interceptor missiles hit.
on four Aegis ships. In the distant Pentagon, there was a subconscious scolding.
It is true that none of them missed, because this missile did not have the ability to intercept intercontinental missiles, and now the US imperialist sea-based interception system uses the standard 3I.B type, and the highest record of this thing is to intercept a missile with a maximum speed of five kilometers per second in a test. And no one knows the authenticity of that test, because there was only one such test, and it was conducted at a time when Congress was too expensive, and it is not impossible to say that Raytheon and the Ministry of Defense have partnered to fool people, and they have not done this kind of thing.
The shutdown speed of these two missiles is more than seven kilometers per second, and it has entered the falling trajectory and is faster under the action of the earth's gravity, which is not within the interception range, and the interceptor missile designed to intercept this level of missile was originally planned to enter service in 2020, but because of the sharp increase in military spending with the Atlanteans, this kind of project that is not urgently needed for the time being has been postponed, and it is not known when the specific appropriation will be granted.
"It's a show, it's all a show!"
At the launch site in Antananarivo, His Majesty the King sighed with his hands behind his back that he had already guessed the goal of the US imperialists, and to put it bluntly, he wanted to stimulate Congress to ask for more appropriations, otherwise he would not have pulled up a missile that was not capable in the first place.
But none of them hit, and I guess this is what they didn't expect.
The two missiles that had begun to fall ballistic began to enter the atmosphere in an instant, gradually turning fiery red under the violent friction, and at the same time the speed began to drop rapidly, of course, even if they descended again, their speed was still far higher than that of any aircraft in the atmosphere, and the two missiles flew towards their own targets, because of the distance relationship to hit Pretoria's first hit.
The South Africans who were looking up at the sky saw the fiery red arrows falling like meteors in the sky, and several missiles of the South African air defense forces symbolically intercepted them, but as soon as they flew out of the launch box, they saw the arrows of light suddenly pierced the location of the Malagasy government-in-exile.
Almost instantly, the flames exploded, and the shock wave of the explosion spread violently to all sides, a mushroom-shaped pillar of smoke rose one after another, and all of them disappeared within a hundred meters around the pillar of smoke, and when the dust cleared, only a huge crater tens of meters deep and a circular ruin belt with a radius of nearly 100 meters remained.
The who were watching the scene trembled, and the whites gloated.
At the same time that this missile hit, another missile also hit the Malagasy government-in-exile training camp in Namibia, and hundreds of Malagasy warriors who had just been cobbled together were blown to the ground.
The position of these people is actually provided to Wang Yue by the Namibian government, Namibia is only a very small country, and they can't afford to provoke anyone, even the Malagasy government-in-exile, these guys with the support of the US imperialists are even stronger than the Namibian government army, so they can only play like this, anyway, they can't offend either side, and they can't save Wang Yue from beating them up if they show favor appropriately.
This battle quickly caused a sensation in the world, especially for Hua and Lucia, the old opponents of American imperialism, it was simply jubilant, of course, in private.
They can already confirm through this battle that the strategic missile defense system of the US imperialists is still helpless against intercontinental missiles, at least in the middle stage, and even Wang Yue's missiles cannot stop them, let alone their warheads with a bunch of different warheads, which means that at least until the US imperialism restarts their new interceptor missile program and succeeds, the spear still has an absolute advantage over the shield, and since then, their own anti-missile system has long been mature, who is afraid of whom at that time!
The arrogant Emperor Pu did not hesitate to pick up the big stick at the puppies of the American imperialists in Eastern Europe, and the war of Little Lucia was rekindled, and the tough-minded Lucia Army announced the establishment of a no-fly zone in the east of Little Lucia on the grounds that Little Lucia's plane accidentally injured the border residents of Lucia in the battle.
Any little Lucia fighter that enters this airspace will be expelled by Lucia's fighter, including a direct downfall, and the number of Lucia volunteers on the eastern battlefield has skyrocketed, and even some of the latest weapons of the Lucia military have appeared in their hands.
And the Lucia government's explanation is smuggling.
Since it's smuggling, it has nothing to do with us.
The countries of Western Europe were silent, and even Germany was moving closer to Lucia.
And in the same way, this battle also established Wang Yue's hegemony in Africa, the entire African continent was frightened by these two missiles, from the distant North African desert to the West African jungle, all countries understood that at this time Wang Yue was already beating whoever he wanted, as long as he didn't want to find death, it was best not to provoke this guy, like allowing the Malagasy government-in-exile to operate within its own territory, this kind of suicidal thing is resolutely not to do, including South Africa also quickly recognized the form.
Although the Malagasy government-in-exile was not at the headquarters when the headquarters was destroyed, the South African government still forcibly expelled them from the country, and at this time only the US imperialists could accept them, but fortunately, the US imperialists still did not mind raising a few more, and the Malagasy government-in-exile and thousands of soldiers under its subordinates hurriedly ran to the US imperialism to continue their liberation cause.
Of course, even if they run to the US imperialists, they will not be able to get rid of Wang Yue's clutches.
Just after confirming his supremacy in the southern Indian Ocean, His Majesty the King of Yongning disappeared again, but people were used to this kind of thing, and everyone knew that he spent a lot of time in the Atlantean Empire. (To be continued......)
