Today is extremely unquiet for the whole world, or rather, the whole world has not been truly calm since the war.
It's just that today's movement is more than every day in the previous months.
Almost all satellite observation stations on Earth have witnessed the destruction of satellites one by one.
There is no flame in space, but the weapons of attack will not be diminished because of this.
On the ground, one missile after another was launched from the ground as if it were not worth money, and the missiles that rose quickly went straight to the satellites that were orbiting.
Under the calculations of the supercomputer, the speed of the missile and the speed of the satellite, agreed.
In the earth's space orbit, satellites have become one of the countless space junk under the attack of missiles, and the wreckage of missile explosions and the wreckage of satellites are floating in the orbit of space together.
From the eastern part of the Indian Ocean to the entire Pacific Ocean, North America, the North and South Atlantics, and Europe, NATO's instantaneous attack power has given the world its first glimpse of the powerful anti-satellite capabilities of NATO, an old military superbloc.
In modern warfare, anti-satellite has become a very important topic, and as the saying goes, standing high and seeing far, satellites are above the height of the world, watching the changes in the earth.
Also looking at the military changes on land and sea, is the best eye for military operations, this moment.
Intelligence is the key to warfare. Destroying the enemy's eyes in the air naturally became a top priority.
As a world that humanity will focus on exploring in the future. All powerful countries have their eyes on outer space for the future.
Somalia is no exception. With a large number of joint space programs, if it were not for the war, Somalia would have been able to start a preliminary migration program into space.
The same is true of NATO, according to the plan, the United States is about to start the space program, but this plan can only be shelved because of the war.
But it also shows that Somalia has mastered world-class space technology.
NATO has always attached great importance to this, and as the saying goes, if you don't die, you will suffer from it. NATO has been preparing for this for a long time in order to ensure that Somalia can be cleared of low- and medium-altitude orbit satellites in outer space at one time.
At the beginning of the war, an attack on satellites was not urgent until there was a critical military operation.
Because if an attack is launched on a Somali satellite, Somalia will inevitably attack a NATO satellite as well.
In addition, in a short period of time, the satellites of both sides will suffer losses, which will inevitably cause blind spots in the monitoring of land and sea.
Therefore, no matter who launches a space strike, he must face the result of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of himself. If you are not fully prepared. To ensure the soundness of their own satellite capabilities, it is of little significance to take such an attack or not.
The premise of the attack is that it can quickly restore its satellite monitoring capability.
NATO is ready, and at this moment the naval decisive battle in the Indian Ocean has entered a critical moment. In order to create a greater advantage for the Navy.
At the critical moment, the choice of an attack on the satellite has become a must.
NATO, which has been prepared for a long time. The offensive nature of the outbreak is naturally not small, and missiles are launched from all corners of the earth.
Some are launched from land-based areas. Some are launched from marine weapons platforms, some are missiles launched from airborne platforms.
The image of hundreds of missiles taking off into the air is very beautiful. Although this beauty was very short-lived, when the rocket entered the Earth's orbit, the satellites that were in the missile-triggered orbit were successfully destroyed one by one.
In the Surud Mountains, in the last fortress, in the satellite control center, the alarm has been sounding for half an hour.
In the command center of thousands of square meters, satellites have lost contact with the ground command center.
Whether it is a meteorological satellite, a civilian survey satellite, or a military spy satellite, they have all become targets of attack, and they are attacked indiscriminately.
In addition to the high-orbit geostationary remote sensing satellites, more than ninety percent of Somalia's low- and medium-orbit satellites have been destroyed.
On the satellite display, a large field of snow has become a flickering snowflake.
In just half an hour, the coordinated attack prepared by NATO for a long time caused huge losses to the satellites of the Somali Federation.
When Somalia attacked Israeli satellites in one fell swoop, it also took a thunderous step.
And NATO's satellite strike on Somalia is also a thunderous one, not giving the Somali side any chance to respond at all.
Even if the orbit of the satellite is changed, it is still firmly locked by the missile.
However, in the satellite command center, everyone's faces did not show any heaviness.
Such a scene has long been expected by them, and if NATO does not move, it will inevitably be difficult to parry.
Therefore, they did not bother to change this result, but looked at all this from the perspective of a third party.
Because of such losses, they can afford to lose them completely.
"According to the plan, the first-level response plan will be activated, the satellite array will be prepared for launch, and all the satellites of the True Eye satellite navigation system will enter all satellite launch bases."
"Activate the attack weapons on the attack satellites, the highest authorization, and prepare to cooperate with the ground artillery to attack NATO satellites, focusing on attacking all NATO navigation and spy satellites."
"All anti-satellite missiles of the Strategic Missile Forces are ready to be launched to strike at all NATO-owned spy satellites in near-earth orbit and destroy the satellites of the enemy passing over our heads."
In the console of the base, Li Lan, who was in charge of the command center of the whole army, issued three orders in a row.
In the Somali Federation, all the giant artillery pieces showed their attack forms at the same time, and the air and space strike units on the ground in the Strategic Missile Forces also began to quickly move missiles to the launch positions.
In the satellite control center, the satellite controllers are all busy. An attack satellite operating over the Somali Federation under the authority authorized by Li Lan. I began to adjust my track.
Located in an orbit of a thousand kilometers in Somalia, twelve hexagonal prismatic satellites. Slowly began to operate, and the six huge solar panels slowly opened, forming a huge hexagonal solar receiving panel facing the sun.
The rapidly absorbing solar energy began to be converted into electrical energy, and the laser weapons in the satellite, under the charge of electrical energy, the attack insurance unlocked by the highest authority, began to reveal the intention of attack.
In the dense orbit, satellites are running rapidly. The twelve moons that were calm also began to operate at this moment.
The power compartment began to provide the satellite with the power to change its orbit, and the stored solid fuel provided the operation of the satellite's engine.
With the help of the gravitational acceleration brought by the Earth's delivery, the twelve satellites were completely dispersed from Somali airspace to other orbits in just half an hour.
At the same time, the data of hundreds of NATO satellites are being quickly analyzed and calculated by assistants, and the satellites of many large NATO companies in the space field are also within the range of the attack.
on the ground. Dozens of giant cannons have raised their barrels towards the east, and the physical shells inside, after being fired, will be accelerated twice by the gravitational pull of the earth. Faster than the first cosmic speed, rushing to the satellite in orbit.
The Strategic Missile Forces, which are spread throughout the Somali Federation and throughout Africa and the Middle East, have also begun to receive launch data calculated by assistants.
Under the supercomputing of the assistant. All space strike weapons have their own targets. Every striking angle from a tiny to zero gap, the striking velocity is calculated.
Half an hour of preparation. The assistant reported to Li Lan: "Great leader, the attack is ready. ”
"Let's get started!" Li Lan ordered decisively.
The moment the order was issued, the prelude to the attack began, and this time Li Lan attacked without reservation, because there were really many NATO satellites.
Streamers flashed across the sky, and in the Indian Ocean, fleets on both sides were able to track the signals of missile lift-off with clarity, without even the need for the fleet's monitoring instruments.
With the naked eye, you can see the streamer that the giant cannon shell tells across the sky.
NATO troops, which had been preparing for a long time, immediately made an interception, and the NATO Pacific Combined Fleet, which was heading for the eastern part of the Indian Ocean, was just on the road where the satellite attack weapons were launched.
Standard interceptor missiles were launched from the fleet and intercepted the missiles that were flying into space.
This is the advantage of NATO, they can attack Somali satellites with an advantage, and Somali attack satellites must follow the Earth's orbit.
The defensive weapons on the fleet can work, only they do not have the ability to intercept those electromagnetic guns, but they can intercept those anti-satellite missiles.
This is a script calculated by NATO, and it is also the basis for them to consider satellite attacks.
It's just that the facts are very different from what they considered, although the Somali anti-satellite weapons must pass over the NATO fleet, but contrary to NATO's expectations, the altitude of the anti-satellite weapons passing over the fleet is almost close to the earth's low-earth orbit.
Such an altitude should be the best position for interception, the same as intercepting ballistic missiles, and the same standard interceptor missiles launched eastward can be intercepted directly after the opponent enters the space vacuum.
But Somalia's anti-satellite weapons are not ballistic missiles, nor are they meant to fly horizontally in space, these anti-satellite missiles that enter the earth's orbit fly directly to higher space.
This makes the interceptor standard missile can only be helpless, and the interception altitude of the standard interceptor missile cannot catch up with these weapons that have entered space at this moment, and they are not in a level flight state.
And in height and range, this is also not something that ground-based anti-aircraft weapons can intercept.
As a result, NATO's Pacific Combined Fleet, which has been gathering momentum for a long time, is difficult to exert its interception effect.
This cannot be said that NATO's side is not thinking clearly, but that Somalia's anti-satellite attack behavior has greatly exceeded their expectations.
However, the first line of defense is not effective, and NATO is not without a response at all.
To attack a satellite, the first thing to do is to calculate the operation of the satellite, and then let the attacking missile make contact with the satellite at the point where the satellite is running, so as to destroy the satellite.
All satellite ground control centers located in NATO immediately adjusted the orbits of satellites in accordance with the plan.
In order to avoid satellites colliding in orbit, the operation of each satellite. All have to be carefully calculated.
In order to adjust the orbits of hundreds of variable-orbit satellites at once, it is necessary to go through prior orbit calculations. Whether it is adjusting the altitude or deviating from the original orbit, it is also necessary to keep the satellite away from space junk.
To know in space orbit. Under the action of the earth's gravity, a small screw can make a satellite suffer fatal damage. Because a small screw, under the high force of velocity, the power is far greater than that of a bullet.
The satellites themselves are not defenseless and can be destroyed by space junk.
Therefore, NATO must not only avoid the enemy's anti-satellite strikes, but also avoid crashing into cars or space junk.
The plan for the orbit break has been prepared for a long time, and the ground control centers of each satellite have begun to follow the plan drawn up by NATO headquarters. Adjust the orbit of the satellite.
However, just when they finally moved the satellite from the original orbit to the new orbit, a scene that was difficult for them to accept appeared.
Rapidly approaching assault weapons, still lunging towards their satellites.
Piercing sirens have sounded in the various satellite ground control centers.
These satellites that can change orbits are all satellites with good performance, and old satellites do not have the ability to change orbits.
NATO can accept that those old satellites are taken out, because that cannot be stopped.
But these advanced satellites, which perform very well, are once lost. It's hard to replenish quickly.
In particular, satellites responsible for communications and navigation can be fatal if the ground forces lose the capabilities of GPS.
At the same time, in space. An attack array of twelve attack satellites also began to attack.
The real battlefield of laser weapons is in space, because of the relationship between the atmosphere and air particles and dust in the air. Performance is rigidly limited.
Space is the best battlefield for laser weapons, a vacuum-state environment. will allow every minute of laser power to be used for attack.
The distance at which the laser will act will also become farther away.
Twelve satellites on a hexagonal prism. The laser's attack began, and an invisible ray of light from space shone out from the prism's face.
In the earth's orbit, on a satellite in motion, the temperature climbed rapidly in an instant, and the star-striped flag on the surface of the satellite suddenly turned black, and after a second, the surface of the satellite began to melt, and then the parts inside also melted.
The whole process was only three seconds, and a communication satellite worth hundreds of millions of dollars was destroyed. All the electronic components in the satellite were directly melted and destroyed.
The same fate has befallen NATO satellites in orbit, and this is the only way for NATO satellites to fly over Somalia and the Indian Ocean.
At this moment, the road has been completely blocked, and twelve attack satellites are enough to destroy NATO satellites that pass through here intensively.
At the same time, a large number of satellites in other orbits disappeared one by one from the signals of NATO's ground control centers.
In just half an hour, hundreds of satellites have lost contact with the ground, and as time goes by, more and more satellites lose contact.
For the first time, NATO has also experienced the sharpness of Somalia's anti-satellite weapons.
However, the attack was far from over, and on the ground, on the barrel of the high cannon, blue arcs began to flicker, and the cannonball's shells rose into the air again, filling the gap in the first wave of attacks.
The Somali Federation's counterattack was decisive and resolute, and its powerful anti-satellite capability greatly surprised NATO's expectations.
Just as the Somali side's prepared satellite orbit change cannot avoid NATO's attack, NATO's control of the satellite cannot avoid the attack of Somali anti-satellite weapons.
But what really surprised NATO was that just as Somalia launched a counterattack against NATO satellites, in the Somali Federation, in a number of satellite launch sites, one after another satellites waiting to be launched, had entered the countdown.
Next to the satellite rising from the sky, the second satellite waiting to be launched is in the position waiting for launch, and another carrier rocket is transported out of the satellite assembly center in the satellite delivery orbit of the satellite launch vehicle.
This is the strength that Li Lan is still gathering momentum, and from the very beginning, he has never stopped the production of satellites.
Otherwise, the number of Somali satellites in space in more than ten years cannot be only more than 100.
This time, the satellites launched were all state-of-the-art military satellites, ranging from navigation to communications and ground surveillance.
Carrier rockets are rapidly taking off from the Somali mainland, and NATO's Combined Pacific Fleet, which is located in the eastern Indian Ocean, is simply unable to intercept the satellites that have already entered orbit here due to the distance.
With the technology of killing multiple satellites with one stone, the first batch of six carrier rockets sent 24 satellites to the earth's high-altitude orbit with the delivery of Somalia's most advanced large-load launch vehicle.
Two hours later, the launch of the second batch of launch vehicles began, and the same twenty-four satellites were launched.
Three hours later, the third batch of launch vehicles was launched again, this time again with twenty-four satellites.
The communication and navigation functions have just been lost and are being quickly restored.
Only then did NATO fully understand that the Somali Federation was ready to lose all its satellites, and after the war, whenever they destroyed the Somali satellites.
Somalia is ready to quickly replenish satellites, and in this anti-satellite contest, both sides destroyed a large number of satellites, but the result was that NATO fell behind.
Although NATO has also begun to urgently launch new satellites to fill the gap, and many satellite launch sites in North America and Europe have also put more than a dozen satellites into orbit in just a few hours, the comprehensive coverage of satellites has been surpassed by the Somali side.
At present, the NATO side is no longer sufficiently prepared to destroy these new Somali satellites, and the production of anti-satellite missiles alone will not be done immediately, at least it will take ten days and a half months to prepare.
It's just that during this time, what happens is not something they can control. (To be continued......)
