What is the set of active protection of mines ICBM? Index
Overview:
"... On his initiative (SP Invincible) in MSC was created fundamentally new direction in the field of armament - complexes are active protection of armored vehicles and other equipment. It is now widely known acquired such a complex "Arena". But few know that the same principle created a complex active protection of silo launchers of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). For the first time the world realized intercept low-altitude ballistic purposes of non-nuclear means.
initially to deal with massive attack warheads flying, surrounded by masses of decoys used by anti-aircraft missiles with nuclear warheads. Atmospheric nuclear explosions should destroy other people's warheads on approach, while the radioactive cloud over their own territory - Also no joy.
But the ring around antiraket only Moscow. Mine ICBMs were virtually defenseless against the high-precision warheads potential opponent. Under the leadership of Sergei Invincible has created an active armor for silos, is also not inconsistent with the ABM Treaty. Falling warhead encounters a cloud of small steel projectiles. They converge at a speed of 6 km / sec, and carries a warhead to pieces. Cheaply and efficiently.
All ingenious is simple and gracefully. Block of several hundred barrels. Inside each - a charge of gunpowder and steel shot. Synchronized volley of shells did not throw a jet, not a wall, as volumetric clouds certain density, which can not be overcome. In fact, medieval kartechnitsa, but high-tech, equipped with electronic system of target detection, guidance and volley. In the late 1980's in the Kamchatka site "Kura" active armor ICBM silo was first intercepted on the approach weight and size mock warhead launched from Plesetsk region. ""
