The American missile defense system has not passed the test: the ballistic missile overtook the target

11

The United States tested the sea-based Aegis missile defense system northwest of Hawaii. According to sources, Aegis was unable to hit all launched targets.

The purpose of testing the American missile defense system was the destruction of two short-range ballistic missiles, which were to be carried out by four Standard Missile-6 Dual II missiles at the final stage of the trajectory of flying objects. However, preliminary data accurately report the defeat of only one ballistic missile, while the second overtook the target.



Antimissiles were launched from the USS Ralph Johnson (DDG 114) missile destroyer. The US Missile Defense Agency said in a statement that "the FTM-33 test has become the most challenging US missile defense mission in recent years."

According to some experts, the development of missile and anti-missile systems by the United States threatens strategic stability in the world. In particular, American missile defense systems deployed near Russia pose risks to the country's security and force Moscow to take adequate measures. One of the responses to such actions by NATO was the creation of hypersonic missile weapons.

    Fifty fifty. Congratulations to the American military. 50-50 is a decent result. Like a blonde, a chance to meet a dinosaur on the street. Either he will meet or not. laughing

      So this is ballistic - 50 to 50. And the maneuvering hypersonic? :)

        You'd better ask Kirill Yes He will surely like the question, he will give an exhaustive answer laughing

        To intercept the maneuvering hypersonic units, they will not have enough interceptor missiles, because in order for the Americans to intercept them, they will have to spend more than two dozen of their interceptor missiles on each target, and even then not with a 100% guarantee of interception !!!

        So this is an exercise where the Americans launched one missile defense missile on one target. In real combat conditions, there will be an overrun of missiles and the chance to intercept will be above 90%.
        A hypersonic rocket with a scramjet engine cannot intensively maneuver on the cruising section so that the air flow entering the air intake is not interrupted.
        Moreover, at the terminal stage of flight in dense layers, hypersonic speed is impossible, maneuvering is impossible, since the pressure on the rocket increases many times, the scramjet engine is not designed to reduce the air flow speed, which is why hypersonic missiles are launched on a rocket accelerator.

        Therefore, hypersonic missiles are easily intercepted at the terminal stage of flight by modern missile defense systems, which was written in a report to the US Congress.


        99% of people on the Internet do not know how hypersonic weapons work, and they come up with tales about the INVINCIBLE superweapon, including Western journalists from pop magazines.
        The Zircon missile at the terminal stage will be easily intercepted by the SM-6 Aegis shipborne system. Especially if the ship is in motion, the Zircon warhead will need a long, gentle braking distance at subsonic speed in order to gain sufficient controllability at high pressure and hit a shifting target.

          Blessed is he who believes. Try to intercept an artillery shell from a battleship of the period VM. It flies at a speed of only 3-4 mach. Does not maneuver, does not fight with interference, does not try to deceive. The reflective profile is just like a ballistic block of ICBMs or anti-ship missiles Granite or Basalt. No?

    the Americans of the Pentagon are masters of deceiving their taxpayers, they have a long tradition since the days of the "flight to the moon" lie. in reality, they can't even knock down their axes

      So, it turns out that they also cheated the Soviet leadership, Soviet intelligence, Soviet designers and cosmonauts, and even - oh, my God! - President Putin? Because they all talk about the reality of flights to the moon.

    Easy or 50-50? )))

    According to the criterion of a blonde, it does not depend on the type of goal.

    At the moment, no one has systems for intercepting targets moving at a speed of more than Mach 6. Moreover, the warheads of ICBMs after their disengagement cannot be intercepted. That is why the Yankees rush with their doctrine of disarming strike. They know for sure that everything that will have time to pass the marching section of the trajectory is guaranteed to fall on their heads.
