The first update

In order to curb the development of anti-missile systems in Eastern Europe, Yanayev must have his own technology for countering anti-missile missiles. The www.biquge.info NATO's eastward expansion plan has begun to stir Yanayev's nerves, just as Mario stressed that cooperation with Poland is nothing more than targeting Iranian countries in the Middle East, but Yanayev will not believe such nonsense.

Marshal Ogarkov, who is also the former commander-in-chief of the Strategic Rocket Forces, also put forward a plan at this time to vigorously develop countermeasure and anti-missile missile technology. coincides with Yanayev's thoughts.

When Ogarkov, a veteran marshal who resolutely refused to step down from his position, came to the door, Yanayev knew what he was going to say. Ogarkov brings mature development projects, not imaginary technologies.

"General Secretary Yanayev, here I have drawn up an important plan for the development of tactical missiles in the USSR. Anti-missile systems specifically for Europe. "This is the missile program that we reinstated two years ago, the Oka missile." It is also the missile development plan that you approved and reviewed back then. Considerable progress has been made, especially in recent experiments, with impressive results. ”

"Oka missiles?" Yanayev suddenly remembered the plan to resurrect the Oka missile that Ogarkov had suggested to him before, and Yanayev at that time did not hesitate to support this decision in the face of NATO's eastward expansion plan, as a weapon of retaliation against NATO. It's just that the improved version of Oka has not progressed, and Yanayev has almost forgotten about this one thing.

Ogarkov introduced to himself that the Oka missile has a range of about 400 kilometers and a hit accuracy of 30 to 150 meters with a circular probability error, which was the pinnacle of tactical ballistic missiles in the early 80s of the 20th century. High-precision, nuclear warheads, combined with powerful penetration capabilities, put extreme pressure on NATO countries on the front lines of the Cold War.

However, it encountered the INF Treaty at an inopportune time, after all, this indefensible weapon poses a huge threat, so although the INF Treaty was negotiated at the beginning of the decision to destroy the 500 to 5,500 km range of the Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missile, while the Oka missile has a range of less than 500 km, the United States still used various means to exert pressure to force the Soviet Union to agree to destroy the Oka missile in the INF Treaty. After the destruction of the Oka missile, only the Soviet Union and later the Russian short-range ballistic missile were left with the 9K79 short-range tactical ballistic missile developed from the B-611 air defense missile, and the 9K79 missile had a range of only 120 kilometers, replacing the earlier Frog-7 uncontrolled rocket, and the number was only more than 100, and there was no invincible penetration capability like the Oka missile. As a last resort, Yanayev asked the design bureau to continue to deepen the reform of the Oka missile in order to form a powerful deterrent. to thwart NATO's threat of eastward expansion.

"Three years ago we completed the refinement of the Oka missile, and now we are at the stage of testing. At the same time, in order to attract potential foreign customers, the Oka missile weapon system is named after Iskander, the Arabic name of Alexander the Great of Macedon, who is revered in the Middle East and India. ”

Marshal Ogarkov likened Iskander to a trump card in resisting and countering East Asian countries, especially suppressing vacillating attitudes towards Bulgaria and Romania. Let the other side create the illusion that the anti-missile system is not reliable. So as to win the opportunity.

The Iskander launcher, which uses the MZKT-79306 8x8 chassis from the Belarusian Minsk Automobile Factory, and carries two missiles on a single vehicle, will appear at the Moscow Air Show in 1999, but Yanayev decided to put the Iskander in everyone's sight in advance in order to threaten Bulgaria and Romania.

"How long will it take for the Soviet army to enter service with such missiles?" Yanayev had high hopes for Iskambul. Using Iskander to thwart NATO's anti-missile program is like a race against time, constantly buying time for both sides at the negotiating table.

Marshal Ogarkov's answer disappointed Yanayev a little, "The experiment is still underway, and there will be at least two years left before it really serves." ”

"Then we will give NATO the illusion that Iskander is about to enter service. Above all, we want to make all countries that are ready to deploy anti-missile systems aware of one thing, their systems have no chance of winning in front of Iskander. ”

"Propaganda of false public opinion guidance?" Marshal Ogarkov immediately understood what Yanayev was thinking, as the head of the General Directorate of Strategic Deception of the former Soviet Union, Marshal Ogarkov did have his own set of tactics on the issue of fooling the West. Moreover, this set of tactics has been tried and tested repeatedly, and the powerful illusion created in the 1 August military exercise and the signing of the INF Treaty are all attributed to Marshal Ogarkov, and the Americans thought that the development of Soviet missile technology was restricted by a paper treaty, but in fact they were pulled to the same level by the Soviet Union.

It seems that as a last resort, it is necessary for Yanayev to continue to fool the West, as he did in the seventies and eighties.

"To expand the functionality of Iskander indefinitely, we need to use all means of propaganda to emphasize the terrible nature of Iskander. Just like Alexander back then. ”

Marshal Ogarkov also very much agreed with Yanayev's idea, since the current strength has not yet reached that level, let the other side think that he has reached that level at the negotiating table, causing a certain amount of psychological pressure.

"This is a very troublesome disinformation propaganda war for the West, and in the seventies and eighties, we were proficient in this tactic, and some secrets are still kept in the dark by the West. Cover up what you find, NATO thinks it has obtained information that we want them to know. Speaking of the American think tank at that time, Marshal Ogarkov said with great disdain that although he was about to retire from his position, he also hoped to do another unusual thing before retiring to draw a successful end to his comeback.

Yanayev followed Marshal Ogarkov's words, "I hope that Iskanbuur will bring the same shock and fear to NATO." ”

"If I cooperate well with Comrade Surkov, then we will stage a wonderful project for the West. When the time comes, the whole West will be blinded by us. Ogarkov said with a smile, he couldn't wait to watch the deceived expressions of the fools in NATO.

He is ready to package Iskander as a secret weapon that would disable all strategic anti-missile systems in Eastern Europe. (To be continued.) )
