Chapter 540 Ballistic Missile Interception Experiment

"How about it? Are you interested in visiting the ballistic missile interception site?" Looking at the large number of reporters, Andre smiled brightly.

The reporters who were so enthusiastic just now were suddenly silent. Going to the ballistic missile interception site? If you can take first-class pictures, that would be the best, but this is at the cost of your own life! Everyone knows that the Soviets intercepted ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads! The radioactive dust of a nuclear bomb exploding in the air will drift far away! This is simply risking your own life!

There aren't many journalists willing to devote themselves to this.

"Okay, since no one wants to go, everyone can stay in the hall and wait for our on-site report." Andre said.

This is an air defense command center in Moscow. All integrated combat systems are connected together. At this moment, on a large screen in the combat center, a high-speed camera on the scene is connected, ready to shoot the scene of the interception.

At this moment, the scene was busy. The camera was shining on the ground, and it could be seen that this was an air defense missile unit of the Air Defense Force. The huge antenna had been deployed, and next to the antenna was a huge missile on a vehicle chassis.

"Excuse me, are you still using the SAM-5 missile in this interception experiment?" A reporter recognized it and asked immediately.

"Sam-5? That's the Western code name. We call it the S-200 missile." Andrei said, "Today, it will intercept an RS-10 ballistic missile, which is what you call the SS-20 missile."

SS-20, the Soviet Union's most advanced fourth-generation ballistic missile! On another screen, the ballistic missile unit's preparations were being played. The multi-axle launch vehicle was slowly being erected, and its huge body could be seen, with unstoppable majesty.

This type of missile was only equipped to the Soviet missile forces in 1977 and is the backbone of the Soviet long-range strike force! The whole of Europe is trembling under this missile!

Western reporters quickly took out their cameras and started taking pictures of the TV screen. They didn't dare to go to the interception site, and they were prevented from getting close to the launch site. So they could only find the reality on TV.

"The launch countdown begins in fifteen minutes, get ready." A voice came from the loudspeaker at the scene.

The reporters opened their eyes wide and stared at the launch vehicle. They saw people moving back and forth, and some people noticed the antenna on the vehicle. Was it communicating with a satellite?

Time passed quickly, and as the countdown continued, everyone held their breath.

When the countdown reached one, a large missile appeared from the top of the launch tube! Silently! The missile continued to fly into the sky, and at a height of 20 meters, suddenly, a blazing flame burst out from its tail!

The Soviet Union's ballistic missiles all used cold launch technology. In the launch tube, the missile was ejected by high-pressure air and ignited in the air. Now, seeing the spectacular scene of the missile ignition, everyone is sighing, this is a magnificent beauty! For the Western world, it is the fireworks of doomsday!

The launch site was in Ukraine, but the scheduled interception site was on the archipelago derived from the northern Ural Mountains, which was originally a Soviet nuclear test base.

At this time, the atmosphere at the air defense missile position deployed 100 kilometers east of the interception site was highly tense. The ballistic missile had been launched, and whether it could be successfully intercepted depended on the performance of the S-200 air defense missile!

The large ground radar radiates countless electromagnetic waves into the sky. This is the latest modified system with a range of 400 kilometers and an altitude of 400 kilometers. The same ground radar also has a longer scanning distance.

At the same time, through the automated air defense system, they were also receiving signals from other remote radar stations and capturing targets at a long distance!

"Missile launch!" With a command, the 880MN/5V28MN air defense missile with a nuclear warhead flew into the sky! It quickly flew towards the target airspace. The rising black smoke, the blazing tail flame, and the momentum of rushing into the sky all represented that it was guarding the inviolable airspace of the motherland!

At this moment, the hall was extremely quiet, and everyone was staring at the big screen of the high-speed camera, watching to see if the target could be destroyed this time!

Time passed little by little, and just after the anti-aircraft missile flew more than 100 kilometers, a beautiful mushroom cloud exploded at an altitude of 25,000 meters! Because the air in the sky is very thin, the mushroom cloud spread rapidly.

The reporters' cameras were clicking as they captured the most exciting moments.

"Oh my God, it's indeed the warhead of a nuclear warhead!" a reporter exclaimed.

The Soviet Union's air defense weapons are always so violent! At this moment, a voice came from the radio: "The radar signal disappeared, the target has been destroyed!"

Of course it had to be destroyed. With such a lethal weapon, how could it not knock down the target? However, how far would the radioactive dust spread?

"Ladies and gentlemen, our interception experiment was a complete success, which once again demonstrated the strength of our Soviet Union. We have the ability to protect our own sky from being invaded by any foreign enemy." Andrei said: "At the same time, we also have the obligation to protect the security of the sky of our allies, so we plan to provide our S-200 air defense missiles to India and Iraq."

Provide to India and Iraq! This news is simply explosive! Hearing Andre's words, the reporters below were immediately blown up. An impatient reporter asked loudly: "General Andre, your country has signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. How can you proliferate nuclear weapons? Will this lead to greater regional turmoil?"

Looking at the voice, Andre said, "Sir, you misunderstood. I said that we provided S-200 air defense missiles to these two countries, but I did not say what type we sold them to. We certainly do not export this type of air defense missile with a nuclear warhead."

The conversation changed: "However, our technology is improving, and our conventional warheads will also be able to shoot down ballistic missiles. In order to ensure national security, we have decided to carry out some major space plans. We are currently formulating these plans, and we welcome the attention of all journalists."

The space program! This is a trap for the Americans, and now is the first time to throw this plan out! Of course, it must be carried out step by step, slowly leading the Americans into the trap.
