Chapter 475: The Sentinel Forced Out
Yang Feng's ballistic missile interception test was successful, and the impact was comparable to that of his Julang missile, which was equipped with Qing missiles.
What does this mean?
This means that he can casually smash a nuclear bomb on someone else's head, and others can't retaliate in the same way, he is like Zeus with a thunder spear in one hand and an Aegis in the other, he can force a young girl to seduce a married man, but who dares to play his wife, then designate a thunderbolt to die!
How can you play with him?
He is above the rules, he has broken the painting, and even if others climb to the holy level, they will have a fart.
Although this is just a test, and Yang Feng will definitely cheat, there is no doubt about this, if you don't cheat, it will be really against the sky, but no matter how you cheat, the two missiles in the sky that accurately hit each other are real, this can't be faked, and being able to do this already means that Yang Feng has made a real breakthrough in this regard, and the rest is nothing more than spending some time perfecting and doing a few more tests.
No matter how slow it is, it will definitely be able to be deployed in real combat within three to five years, and at that time, the nuclear deterrence capability that the United States and the Soviet Union have worked so hard to obtain will fade.
If you want to re-establish the rules and pull him back to the table, you can either build as many ICBMs as possible, build thousands, just like the cruise DAO bomb saturation attack he just did, and drown his anti-missile system with a sea of missiles, or develop the same system as quickly as possible and create the same anti-missile shield for your own homeland.
To be on the safe side, the best thing to do is to do both.
Just after Yang Feng's ballistic missile interception test ended, the Pentagon immediately announced that it would withdraw the original Nikee-Zeus anti-missile system and develop a new set of new ones. An intercontinental missile defense system that covers two interception methods: mid-course interception outside the atmosphere and terminal interception in the atmosphere. And officially named Sentinel System.
The Niki-Zeus system is actually the third generation of the Niki missile system. The first generation is Nikki-Ajax, the second generation is Nikki-Hercules, and the third generation is Nikki-Zeus, and this is actually a terminal interception system, although it can also attack low-orbit targets, but it is still not at the same level as Yang Feng's extra-atmospheric interception.
And this missile relies on a nuclear bomb with a yield of five million tons.
To tell the truth, let a nuclear bomb of such a yield explode over their own home, what will be the final result, the people of the United States themselves do not know what the bottom will be. Yang Feng's conventional warhead is obviously much taller, but it is useless to designate a conventional warhead for Niki-Zeus, because according to the estimation of the scientists in charge of the project, it can also ensure that the missile can be hit at a distance of two kilometers near the incoming missile, otherwise they would not have to rely on a 5 million ton yield warhead to ensure the destruction of the target.
Moreover, Yang Feng and Britain are calling for the signing of the Extraatmospheric Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, although at this time I know that he is not at ease, but the domestic public opinion in the United States is very supportive of this, and the United Nations is also promoting this treaty, and Eisenhower does not dare to guarantee whether he will withstand the pressure in the end.
Since it was better to develop a completely new set, the Sentinel system was born ahead of schedule.
The system is also very different from the original in terms of indicators. The range of missiles intercepted in the middle section of the upper atmosphere cannot be less than 1,000 kilometers, and the maximum interception altitude cannot be less than 600 kilometers. The terminal interceptor missile cannot be less than 100 kilometers and the height is 50,000 meters. The former must reach twelve times the speed of sound, and the latter index is seven times the speed of sound, of course, this is only an interceptor missile index, as for other supporting systems, especially various satellites in space, large radars on the ground, these are essential, in addition, we must try to use conventional warheads, it is really not possible to choose a small-yield nuclear warhead, a thousand tons, hundreds of tons.
But in this way, there must also be a giant phased array radar like Yang Feng, and other radars are definitely useless.
In short, you must not lag behind Yang Feng, this is not a matter of face, but a question of whether you are qualified to play games with him in the future.
As for the fiscal deficit......
At this time, how can you take care of this, issue banknotes, issue national bonds, raise taxes, cut public welfare spending, in short, grit your teeth, and have everything.
"Führer, if they really develop it by then, but we don't have similar technology, wouldn't it be troublesome, and this test, I always feel as if it was a pure accident, according to the analysis of various radar data, our missiles are obviously not likely to hit the target bomb, so either a radar error, or a computer calculation error, or simply we hit the luck, I admit that if we also change a high-power nuclear warhead, this test can definitely be successful, but the use of conventional warheads is absolutely not possible, Let's not be misled by such an experiment. ”
Chen Zhong said to Yang Feng.
It should be said that the chief of the general staff of this strategic rocket force is still very competent, in fact, the generals of the Ming army feel that the head of state has been a little abnormal recently, although he has succeeded in making these things, but all of them have a kind of unreliable taste.
"First, I have never been prepared to rely on this method to achieve ballistic missile interception, the thinking of the people of the United States is right, the interception of ballistic missiles still has to rely on anti-aircraft missiles, and in my future planning, the main thing is the sea-based interception system. We are an island nation, and this is our greatest advantage, as long as we deploy a sufficient number of warships in the surrounding seas, we can hold up a perfect umbrella for us, and this system can be centered on our next-generation regional air defense ships, plus the next generation of land-based anti-aircraft missiles in the design as the end supplement.
So I was never prepared to intercept missiles with the thing I am testing now, whether it succeeds or fails, it is just a verification of interception technology based on existing weapons, just like those X-series verification machines in the United States.
Second, even if the United States develops it, we also have a way to smash this shield for them, in fact, it is very simple, just make a few more warheads for the missile, one warhead is easy to intercept, so what about we send ten warheads at a time? A saturation attack doesn't necessarily have to launch a bunch of missiles, but a missile with a bunch of warheads, right? In addition, it is also possible to develop intercontinental missiles that are maneuverable and change orbits, and the ballistic missiles will turn around outside the atmosphere, and they will aim at Washington, and they will go all out to intercept them, and as soon as the missiles turn around and go straight to New York, how can they stop them?
In short, even if they can develop it, we have a lot of ways to deal with it. ”
Yang Feng said with a smile.
He has never thought of developing any land-based mid-course interception alone, and his goal from beginning to end is the sea-based interception system, that is, the Aegis regional air defense system he is developing, the Ming Empire is an island country, no matter which big country wants to launch intercontinental missiles here, it must cross the shortest 1,000 kilometers of ocean, as long as he has a sufficient number of Aegis ships and a combination of the standard three, it is enough to protect his own territory.
And then the next generation of land-based long-range air defense missiles that are being developed, that is, the Patriot system as the end interception, this can be deployed to the territory of the surrounding little brothers, and then developed to the THAAD system in the future, so that basically a similar defense system will be formed, as for the effect, who knows, anyway, this thing is just a meaning, and it will be useless if it really reaches the point of large-scale mutual nuclear missile launches.
Only then did Chen Zhong realize that he was worried in vain, and the fuss for a long time was purely for Yang Yuan's fun.
Immediately after that, the General Staff of the Ming Empire announced that it would continue to conduct tests in the future until this set of anti-missile interception systems had the capability of actual combat deployment, and strive to initially build a reliable missile defense network for the Ming Empire within five years at the latest.
As soon as this news came out, the people of the United States were even more anxious, and the Sentinel plan was passed in Congress as quickly as possible, and then all that was left was to allocate funds to start construction.
However, the bald man was very calm, seeing that Mi Guo and Yang Feng were all developing tall and tall, he still held his rubber galoshes, this terrifying interception system was daunting, and he had to admire the circle of five million tons of nuclear warheads around Moscow, in the end, it was a fighting nation, that is, courageous.
Of course, the main thing is that he also knows his technical strength, anyway, he can keep Moscow, and where else can he not be sacrificed!
Just when Yang Feng stirred up the world with a missile interception test, a small accident occurred in Europe, and the border conflict between Yugoslavia and Albania, two Socialist Labor Party countries, did not know because of some trivial matter. Although the scale of the clash was small, with a total of 100 rounds of ammunition and a few mortar shells fired at each other, the situation in the Balkans suddenly became tense, with Tito angrily accusing the Albanian army of invading Yugoslavia, and Comrade Enver even more angrily accusing the Yugoslav army of crossing the border first.
In short, it is to let those Western countries see a little bit of excitement.
But then something that everyone didn't expect happened, the flagship of the Yugoslav Navy, Split, actually drove outside the Strait of Otranto with a little brother, although this destroyer based on the Utopian class is only 3,000 tons, but it is a giant ship in the Adriatic Sea. With the support of this warship, the Yugoslav government immediately issued a public statement that it would blockade Albania until the latter apologized for the previous invasion and compensated Yugoslavia for the damages, otherwise they would not allow any merchant ships to sail into the country again.
Of course, having said that, in fact, the merchant ships that actually sailed to Durrës, or the port of Hoxha as they are now called, did not intercept one, which did not surprise everyone, after all, this offended too widely, Tito is nothing more than a small regional role, who is qualified to play this kind of game that only a big country plays, at most it is just to show a gesture and have a good time.
Until a merchant ship laden with grain sailed thousands of miles into the Mediterranean. (To be continued.) )
