Everyone in the world knows that the United States is building its own anti-missile interception system around the world, and it has also divided it into a strategic-level anti-missile system, a theater-level anti-missile system, and a campaign-level anti-missile system, which has been deployed at the doorsteps of other major powers, which has aroused opposition from other countries. However, in fact, the anti-missile system is also equipped in other major countries, and there are some anti-missile systems with strange ideas, such as the Russian A135 strategic anti-missile system that we are going to talk about today.
Today's Russian A135 anti-missile system was actually built in the Soviet Union, that was in the 70s of the last century, so the A135 system is actually deployed in a very wide range, some search radars are even deployed in Ukraine, and the tests were also carried out on the shores of Lake Balkhash in Kazakhstan, which at that time were part of the Soviet Union. The A135 system is called the "Amur" anti-missile system, and the main purpose of developing this system is to deal with the problem of a large number of nuclear weapons targeting the Soviet Union by the United States, especially to ensure the security of the Moscow region, so all the interceptor missiles of the A135 system are deployed around Moscow.
The A135 system has the style and characteristics of the Soviet Union, that is, the simplest and most direct way to make up for the Soviet Union's technological backwardness and achieve a very effective effect, which is "simple and rude" in four descriptions, because he used a nuclear bomb to intercept a nuclear bomb. Presumably, some friends have already wondered, the anti-missile system is used to intercept nuclear bombs, how can nuclear bombs be used?Isn't this blowing yourself up?That's right, it is to detonate a nuclear bomb on top of one's own head, and then destroy the falling enemy's nuclear warheads in pieces.
The A135 anti-missile system is mainly based on two interceptor missiles, one is 53T6, which is mainly used for interception at the end of the enemy's missile warhead dive, detonated at a certain height over Moscow, to intercept the enemy's nuclear warhead, and the other is 51T6, he is also a nuclear warhead, but he wants to detonate it outside the atmosphere, mainly to form interference with nuclear **, destroy the flight trajectory of the enemy's warhead, and at the same time use electromagnetic radiation to destroy the command guidance of the warhead and affect the accuracy of the strike. Both warheads use nuclear warheads.
According to the estimates of the KGB of the Soviet Union, the United States had at least 60 to 100 nuclear missiles aimed at Moscow, and this is not counting the sub-guided warheads in the missiles, and I am afraid that hundreds of nuclear warheads were directly used to strike at Moscow and its surrounding areas, with the aim of paralyzing the Soviet Union's administrative and military command and dispatch capabilities and breaking the Soviet Union's spiritual will at the beginning of the war. If the Soviet Union could really detonate a nuclear warhead in the air, it would directly destroy the United States.
10. Hundreds of nuclear warheads, that's really earning, you can punch yourself with one punch, save others from punching yourself with 10 punches, this is really Soviet thinking.
As a superpower, the Soviet Union had money, technology, manpower, and material resources, and soon built an early warning system around the main direction of the Soviet Union's borders, and they were the eyes of the A135 system, using a large ground ladder-shaped large-aperture phased array radar to detect, and at the same time adding an automated command and control system to automatically determine the type and number of targets, and the trajectory, all the radars were networked to build an "iron wall" and constitute the most reliable anti-missile system in the Soviet Union.
These large radars include a number of models, such as the Dnepr radar warning system in the Balkhash region of Kazakhstan, the Volga radar warning system in the Baranovitsy region of Belarus, the Voroninzh DM radar warning system in Kaliningrad, and the Voroninzh M radar warning system in the Orsk region, as well as two systems that have not been completed so far. These systems are located in the periphery of the Soviet Union's borders, mainly facing East Asia and Europe, especially in the direction of Europe, forming a multi-level radar early warning system, which shows that the scale of this homeland security system is very large.
The above is the early warning radar system of the A135 system, but in order to achieve the interception of missile targets, it is also necessary to have a search radar that can obtain the number of incoming missiles and detailed three-coordinate parameters of the trajectory, and a fire control radar that can guide the attack of the 51TT6 interceptor missile. The search and fire control systems of the A135 are all located in Moscow, of which the search radar is the Dunay-3U search radar, and the fire control radar is the Don-2 (Don-2) fire control radar, which has been operating for decades and is still in use and still functioning, 32 53T6 missiles and 16 51T6 missiles have been deployed in place, and they have been on combat readiness duty for many years.
Although the A135 system is indeed a relatively effective system, compared with the United States' collision and high-precision interception, it seems that the probability of success in intercepting the enemy's warhead in a large area with a nuclear bomb is also higher, but the current Russia is not a superpower after all, the Soviet Union, has a different view on this system, thinking that it is conservative and backward, and it should be reformed. Russia's renovation is aimed in 3 directions, the first of which is the creation of a new early warning radar system.
Although 12 early warning radar systems were built during the Soviet era, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, especially the separation of Ukraine and Russia, there was a gap in the early warning radar system in Russia's key southwestern direction, tearing a large rift in the Russian border, from which enemy missiles were likely to enter. As a result, Russia began to build three new "Voroninzh DM" early warning radar systems in the southwest, and also developed the "Voroninzh VP" early warning radar system to fill the large gap in the southwest.
Secondly, Russia wants to give up the idea of intercepting nuclear bombs with nuclear bombs, thinking that this method is really peculiar, so it also began to use the kinetic energy collision interception technology of the United States, and changed the 53T6 interceptor missile used for terminal interception to kinetic interception mode, but it still retains the ability to carry nuclear warheads, so that 53T6 missiles can be accurately intercepted individually in the face of a small number of incoming missiles, and if there are too many incoming missiles, the use of nuclear warheads will be considered for interception.
Finally, Russia has improved the technology of fire control radar and upgraded the Don-2 system to the Don-2H system, which greatly improves the response speed and automation of the system, and the accuracy of the target indication has also been improved, so that it can also more accurately guide the 53T6 missile to carry out kinetic interception, rather than a large-scale interception of nuclear warheads. After the improvements, the A135 system is beginning to have the ability to adapt to modern warfare, and Russia has the ambition to upgrade it to the A235 system level completely, and the relevant tests have now begun.
However, the 51T6 missile has not been upgraded, which means that Russia still plans to detonate a nuclear bomb above its head, of course, the 51T6 is detonated in outer space after all, and the impact on the ground is small. In short, because of the existence of the A135 system, Russia has obtained a relatively reliable anti-missile interception system, and has also produced a "Soviet-style" anti-missile system that is completely different from the US missile interception system. Either way, let's hope for the day when it will never be useful.
