Red Alert Somalia

ps: I complained about it yesterday, and I feel a lot easier today.The waist is not sore and the legs are not painful, and the whole body is full of energy.

While Li Lan stepped onto the screen, the satellite launch center in the Sulud Mountains was also preparing for the most intense launch.

Mei Dang stood at the forefront of command, and he personally controlled every step. After the simulated missile was thoroughly prepared, the last step, the six simulated bombs in the satellite's mother cabin also carried out the final data docking.In the sky, three spy satellites are also in a ready state.

These three satellites will guide these simulated warheads, take over the task of relay guidance, and conduct terminal guidance for the simulated missiles.

Li Lan’s program started as a signal, and the moment he appeared on TV, Mei Dang had already issued the order to clear the field. The twenty-four-meter-long pseudo-ballistic missile stood in the center of the launch site, and the hoisting arm slowly He loosened the missile and lay down slowly toward the groove on the ground to accommodate him.

After the field was completely emptied of personnel, Mei Dang personally pressed the missile launch button.

Pseudo-ballistic missile launches produce tail flames, plumes, and columnar smoke.The solid rocket engine of the missile uses glycidyl azide polyether low-temperature combustion agent to reduce the temperature of the engine tail flame, adds potassium salt to inhibit secondary combustion, reduces the concentration of co2 and ho2 in the tail flame, uses foamed polymers to suppress smoke, and uses additives to make The emitted infrared radiation avoids the atmospheric window and sprays aerosols in the atmosphere above the launch site to reduce the probability of detection of US missile early warning satellites.

Eighteen seconds later, the US space-based infrared system synchronized orbit early warning satellite discovered the launch of a ballistic missile.Space-based infrared early warning satellites are more than 10 times more sensitive than dsp satellites and can observe through the atmosphere. However, considering that the missile uses a variety of infrared stealth technologies to reduce the infrared radiation of the atmospheric window, it is about 10 kilometers above the thin air. Atmospheric cover was lost, so it was determined that the satellite discovery time was delayed by 18 seconds.

Synchronous orbit early warning satellites carry both scanning and staring infrared detectors, which are used for large-scale detection and small-area continuous monitoring, respectively. If the missile is launched from the range that the detector may monitor by maneuvering, the time of detection can be delayed.

"Your Excellency Commander. The early warning satellite discovered that Somalia had launched an unknown ballistic missile to the east. The satellite is currently tracking the missile."

The US Seventh Fleet, which was resting at the Changi Naval Base in Singapore, quickly received the satellite warning. The 46th Commander of the Seventh Fleet’s flagship Blue Ridge, Lieutenant General Bird immediately issued a response order: "Receive satellite analysis data, synchronize Take orbit measurements."

After 30 seconds, the early warning satellite completed the missile trajectory measurement.When space-based infrared early warning satellites discover infrared radiation, they must first distinguish their wavelength range and characteristics based on infrared characteristics, and then infer its temperature and even the type of propellant, and analyze and distinguish the type of target (such as ballistic missile or launch vehicle) based on this analysis.Then measure the vector velocity of the target.Since infrared detectors are used, the observed missile trajectory is a continuous point, so enough data must be accumulated to determine the target trajectory. The scanning period of the satellite's scanning infrared detector is 1 second, which is claimed to be within 10 seconds Able to complete missile trajectory measurement.

However, to measure the trajectory of ballistic missiles with infrared equipment, 2-3 satellites must be observed at different angles at the same time to obtain the trajectory in three-dimensional space.A single satellite can only obtain a projection on a one-dimensional plane, and the fusion of observation data from other early warning satellites cannot be completed by the early warning satellite itself. It must be processed by the ground control station. Therefore, the missile trajectory obtained at this time lacks the ballistic height and inclination angle. , It is only the velocity vector of the ballistic projection on the plane, not the real velocity vector of the missile, so it is impossible to predict the target of the missile.

38 seconds later.The early warning satellite issued a missile launch warning, and transmitted the signal to the joint tactical ground station in the theater, the overseas ground station in Australia, and the North American Air Defense Command and the US Space Command Early Warning Center in the summer of the United States. Processing, get the missile's three-dimensional space flight trajectory.For the parabolic trajectory of a ballistic missile, its horizontal acceleration is the average value of accumulated data. It must be accumulated for a certain period of time to calculate the trajectory. For example, the engine thrust remains unchanged, but the working time is extended by 50%.The trajectory is necessarily different, so the flight trajectory observed within 10 seconds is not enough to determine the missile's landing point.

Moreover, modern ballistic missiles mostly use maneuvering trajectory technology, and its final trajectory cannot be determined until the end of the active phase. Therefore, the true missile landing point prediction will not be quickly obtained, and it will not be possible to issue an alarm to the troops in the theater.

"The unknown missile has turned on its secondary thruster, and the satellite is tracking it continuously." This is a report from the Guam Air Force Base.

As soon as the Somali missile was launched, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.Naturally, the public is still unclear, but the five permanent members of the world's top five permanent members with ballistic missile early warning satellites cannot sit still.

Especially for the Americans, this missile was launched eastward.The speed was extremely fast, and it leaped over half of the Indian Ocean in a blink of an eye, and the missile has not started to slide for the re-entry stage. The three-section advancement has only fallen off until now.

Five minutes later, the missile's secondary rocket engine shut down and separated.Since the space-based infrared early warning system uses multiple satellites to gaze and track the missile boost phase, its tracking accuracy is much higher than that of the Defense Support Program (dsp) satellite. It can accurately give the missile shutdown point parameters and facilitate the calculation of the missile landing point. .

Ten minutes later, the joint tactical ground station calculated the landing point of the first batch of missiles in the central Pacific Ocean, two thousand kilometers east of the US military base in Guam.

Fifteen minutes later, the ground station performed data fusion and processing to obtain the missile's three-dimensional space flight trajectory.

Twenty minutes later, the missile crossed the highest point of the trajectory and slipped ten kilometers, and the third stage solid-liquid hybrid rocket engine ignited.The US military's synchronous orbit missile early warning satellite detected the missile ignition and tracked it.Pseudo-ballistic missiles are equipped with a third-stage rocket engine to transform the traditional parabolic trajectory into a jumping trajectory with multiple crests, reducing the height of the highest point of the trajectory, making it difficult for the interceptor system to calculate its final landing before the missile reenters the atmosphere. point.The missile defense system's prediction of the missile trajectory is to limit the trajectory to a tubular area. During the flight of the missile, according to the known ballistic data, gradually reduce the radius of the predicted ballistic tubular area, when it is smaller than the maneuver radius of the interceptor. It can be intercepted at any time.The greater the range of the ballistic jump, the larger the area of ​​the tube-shaped area, which will bring greater difficulties to the prediction of the defense system, thereby greatly improving the missile's penetration capability.

Thirty minutes later, the synchronous orbit early warning satellite completed the first trajectory measurement of the first batch of missiles.

This is the most tense moment. At this moment, the position of the missile has reached the sky over Southeast Asia. Before the missile enters the anti-atmosphere, it must be intercepted immediately, otherwise the gravity acceleration will exceed 14 times the speed of sound if it wants to intercept at the end. The warhead will become extremely difficult.Even if it is the standard three that the US military claims to be extremely excellent in terminal interception.

At the four-nation summit, it was 7 o'clock in the morning Somalia time, and it was 11 o'clock last night in Washington.What is going on at this moment is the second round of heads of state consultations. After nearly an hour of discussion in the previous one, there is still no answer that can satisfy the four capitals.

At this moment, as soon as the second round of consultations began, they could no longer continue their discussions.

First, Li Lan boarded the Somali national television station and sat in front of the four of them. The self-confidence that Li Lan always showed in his eyes made them very uncomfortable.And what he said made the four of them feel inexplicably angry.

However, the emergency message that Obama received from the Department of Defense immediately shocked everyone in a cold sweat. If it weren’t for the missile to be launched eastward, combined with the news previously revealed by Somalia, Obama even had an emergency nuclear counterattack plan. impulse.

At this time on TV, Li Lan also said in a timely manner: "Today, our strategic missile force will conduct a test fire. As I said before, we will not use weapons of mass destruction first. Friends or enemies, there is no need to worry. The missile is a simulated warhead. This test launch is only to test the range and sub-warhead performance of our first strategic ballistic missile."

In the Chinese capital Zhongnanhai, the No. 1 Chief, who is having lunch, is also watching the live broadcast of Somalia’s national television broadcast by CCTV. In his hands, the Ministry of National Defense of China has submitted a report on the missile launch of Somalia.When he heard Li Lan talking about this, he was eating, he couldn't help putting down his chopsticks, and said with emotion: "It's a pity that Li Lan doesn't go to act. This talent is more than enough to win the actor. It is estimated that the United States is now being captured I'm so scared, I don't know if it will be intercepted?"

In the end, Obama did not issue the interception order, because he was very clear that Li Lan already knew that the United States was going to carry out a nuclear strike against Somalia. Combined with Li Lan’s words on TV, this time the missile launch was telling Obama not to mess around, nor am I. It's so messy.

Such an obvious signal, Obama can naturally understand.

In the next report from the Ministry of Defense, three things have been determined. The missile being launched has the same appearance as the three missiles photographed by the drone yesterday.The range of this missile can hit directly from Somalia to the central Pacific, and the range has exceeded 12,000 kilometers.After the propeller of the last section of the missile also began to fall off, the six sub-guided warheads that were separated successfully withstood the friction of the atmosphere, and the six warheads scattered and hit the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.This shows that Somalia has mastered the capability of a sub-guided warhead.

Combining these three explanations, Obama can no longer ignore that Li Lan does have the ability to directly attack the United States.
