Volume Fourteen, Smoke of Gunpowder, Chapter 44, Last resort

Japan is the parallel transition of various subsystems of the national strategic defense system, so when dealing with the Russian strategic cruise missile, the strategic early warning satellite has pointed the lens at several waters such as the Barents Sea, including the Barents Sea, and sent the detection information to the interceptor satellites over these nearby seas through the satellite data link in real time.

At this time, only the strategic submarine in Russia is left.

It must be admitted that Russia's strategic response mechanism is relatively advanced. As early as the beginning of the month of the month, when the situation on the Eurasian continent suddenly became tense, the Russian Navy launched an emergency plan. The strategic submarine that was resting at the base was leaving the port urgently, and the strategic submarine that was returning to the airport extended its cruise time to 0 days. That is, it was not returned to the base in early 8 years. The Russian Navy was able to react so quickly. First of all, it is attributed to the new generation of strategic submarine nicknamed "Arctic Storm".

This numbered feather, codenamed "Godolsky" by Western news media, is also the last strategic submarine in Russia. In the early years of this century, after the negotiations on comprehensive nuclear disarmament began, the Russian Navy proposed to develop a new generation of strategic submarines to replace the "God of the North Wind" to enhance strategic deterrence. The actual purpose is to build a new generation of strategic submarines before the "Lunshu Treaty" comes into effect, so as not to be restricted by the treaty, clearly stipulate in the additional provisions of the treaty that after the treaty officially comes into effect, the countries of each decorative country can only complete the strategic submarines that have been started and can only improve the built submarines. Instead of redesigning and building strategic submarines. It is precisely because of this that the "Arctic Storm" has been designed to

Construction took only 6 years, which was much shorter than the old year of the "God of the North Wind". More importantly, as the last strategic submarine in the world before the formal implementation of the London Treaty, the "Arctic Storm" started construction in one breath. That is, it was built completely in accordance with the highest limit standards for Russian strategic submarines in the treaty. Although the "Arctic Storm" was affected by the construction progress and failed to be put into service at the same time, the interval between the first and the last was as long as 6 years, the basic performance of this submarine was roughly similar, and the mid-term major reforms were carried out between the childhood and the Liwu Year, according to the negotiation agreement before the start of the third phase of reduction work. After the start of the third phase of reduction work, countries are not allowed to improve the strategic submarines, which further improves their performance.

In general, the Arctic Storm is a very advanced strategic submarine.

At the beginning of the design, this strategic submarine was planned to be equipped with a concave ballistic missile launcher, thus becoming the strategic submarine with the strongest bomb loading capacity in the history of the Soviet Union and Russia, and along with the "Ohio" class of the United States, it became one of the most powerful strategic submarines in history with the strongest bomb loading capacity.

Mu Yong doubted that increasing the load capacity of a single boat is contrary to the development trend of strategic submarines. You should know that among the contemporary strategic submarines, the Michigan class of the United States had only 20 missile launchers, the Republic's Type 0, France's Victory class and the British "Royal Oak" class had only old missile launchers. It is like a nuclear power's reduction of strategic submarine missile launchers is very simple: The London Treaty only limits the number of nuclear warhead vehicles, that is, the number of submarine-launched ballistic missiles, but does not directly limit the number of strategic submarines. Reducing the number of missiles carried by a single boat can build more strategic submarines, which can improve the overall survival ability of strategic submarines. To put it simply, avoid putting too many eggs in a basket. Instead, try to put a limited number of eggs in more baskets.

It is more appropriate to carry a submarine when it arrives, and it depends on the actual situation.

In addition to the efficiency ratio, the most important thing is the restriction of the London Treaty on sea-based strategic forces. The United States is a major sea-based strategic force. After the first phase of the reduction work is completed, it also retains submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Even if calculated according to the carrying capacity of each boat, it can still be retained! Spread strategic submarines, distribute these strategic submarines evenly to the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and ensure that half of the submarines are on duty. There are always three strategic submarines in both directions. As long as any strategic submarine in either direction survives the enemy's sudden attack, it can give the enemy a devastating blow. The possibility of six strategic submarines being sunk at the same time will not exceed one million, so the United States does not need to continue to reduce the single-boat bomb load capacity, that is, there is no need to increase the number of strategic submarines. Although the Republic is also a major sea-based strategic force. After the first phase of the reduction work is completed, young submarines will also be retained.

, However, the strategic environment of the Republic is much worse than that of the United States. Strategic submarines are mainly active in the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East China Sea and South China Sea. The patrol area is very narrow and the survival probability is naturally much lower. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the survival probability by increasing the number of submarines. The strategic power of the sea bases of France and Britain is very limited. After completing the first phase of reduction, each submarine will be left. If the blade is deployed on a submarine, it can only be equipped with 3 submarines. To ensure that under any circumstances, there is a strategic submarine that is performing combat readiness patrol missions, at least it needs to be moved in the strategic submarine, but the strategic submarine also needs to be overhauled. It also requires normal maintenance. Therefore, Sichuan women's requirements are much higher, so the two countries set the single-boat missile load to Guzi. Ensure that "even when the strategic submarine reaches the third phase, the two countries each have 2 strategic submarines, which can ensure that at least one strategic submarine is performing combat readiness patrol missions when the gills are on.

It can be seen from this that Russia insists on enhancing the missile load capacity of strategic submarines, and there are special reasons for its willingness to be safe.

As we all know, after the first phase of the London Treaty was completed, Russia will be able to retain the Illustrated Submarine-launched Ballistic Missiles, which will retain the third largest sea-level strategic force after the United States and the Republic.

According to this calculation, Russia should set the single-boat ammunition load to retain the strategic submarines and deploy several ships in the Northern Fleet and the Pacific Fleet to obtain a comprehensive strategic deterrence.

The problem is that it is not just the London St.

.

For countries like Russia, which have relatively limited strength but want to maintain its status as a military power, when developing strategic forces, especially the huge sea-based strategic forces, the first thing to consider is not the London Treaty, but the basic national strength.

Not to mention anything else, the Russian authorities only approved the construction of "Arctic Storm" to prove that Russia's national strength is not enough to support more sea-based strategic forces.

From this perspective, it is not difficult to understand why Russia wants such submarines to have missile launchers.

When formulating tactical standards for "Arctic Storm," the Russian Navy also had many old strategic submarines, among which the "North Wind God. Class has completed the first comprehensive improvement, and its performance has been greatly improved. It can be at least in service for years. This "North Wind God" class strategic submarine each has a missile launcher, occupying a submarine-launched ballistic missile. Therefore, the construction of the "Arctic Storm" class that carries a submarine-launched ballistic missile is just enough to use up Tian Mei's "quota". More importantly, by the past years, that is, after the second phase of the reduction work, the "North Wind God. Class can be moved and half of the "Arctic Storm. Class of the "Arctic Storm" class can be converted into a cruise missile launcher, or other methods are used to improve it, which can maximize military resources and reduce national expenditure.

The actual situation is indeed the case. Before the negotiations for the third phase of reduction work ended, the Russian authorities made improvements to the "Arctic Storm". Although according to the negotiation results, the ballistic missile launcher cannot be simply converted into a cruise missile launcher to deal with the treaty, because there are great loopholes in this way, that is, when necessary, the launcher can definitely be changed back in a short time, and the strategic strike capacity will be quickly expanded, making the London Treaty meaningless. However, the negotiations also clearly stipulate that countries can reduce the number of submarine-launched ballistic missiles in a way that major changes are made, and without violating the treaty norms, the major changes of strategic submarines are not restricted, but must be completed before the day of the year and month. That is to say, as long as the strategic forces are not afraid of being affected, Russia can slowly improve the "Arctic Storm". In fact, being able to reach such a negotiation agreement is the result of the efforts of the Russian authorities.

It can be said that if it were not for the increasingly fierce arms race, the Russian authorities would likely drag the improvement of the "Arctic Storm" class to before Tiannian, and after the years, they would extend the service time of the "North Wind God. Class strategic submarine to maintain strategic deterrence capabilities. Mu Yong doubted that the "North Wind God. Class's life extension is also a strategic submarine that has been seriously out of date. Under the trend of the arms race, the Russian authorities adjusted their plans at the beginning of Tiannian to advance the improvement of the "Arctic Storm" class. Although this would reduce Russia's strategic deterrence capabilities a few years ago, it could obtain all strategic deterrence capabilities after 2 Western years.

Since it has been valued by Gedu, it has been thoroughly improved.

To be honest, in order to improve the performance of the only strategic submarine, the Russian authorities basically rebuilt the strategic submarine under the name of improvement.

According to the information released by the Russian authorities, the improved "Arctic Storm" class strategic submarine has only the ubiquitous rate before the improvement. In other words, the submarine has been modified, including the power system, propulsion system, pressure resistant shell, missile launch system, and even some keels. The curtains are mainly secondary components that have little to do with the main performance of the submarine. For example, high-temperature steam stoves are cooked with hundreds of degrees Celsius. Natural gas or liquefied gas will not be used like families, the cabins of officers and soldiers, entertainment facilities, etc.

In addition to reducing the displacement of Arctic Storm, the other performances have been substantially improved compared to before the improvement. For example, the maximum submersible speed is increased from the Wujie Festival to the junction, the maximum diving depth is increased from the junction to the junction, and the maximum self-sustaining force is increased from the junction to the junction, and the performance of the submarine-launched ballistic missiles carried has been improved. In fact, it is an emerging submarine-launched ballistic missile specially developed for it. Just to avoid being criticized, the Russian authorities still used the number of concave, and the maximum range has been increased from the 4,000-meter puzzle to the old kiln, and the throwing ability has been increased from the old to the knife to the knife ton.

Obviously, the key is not the submarine, but

Like strategic bombers, strategic submarines are actually the carrier of missiles. Without missiles, strategic boats have no value.

In the Russian Navy, the official number of the submarine-launched ballistic missile equipped for the "Arctic Storm" is shown as an improved model, while the Russian missile industry complex that is developing and producing the missile is officially numbered as Sijieyin, which is a newly developed code name. It is precisely because Western news media numbered the missile as. Instead of following the naming rules of the Russian Navy, they called it Sichuan.

For this kind of submarine-launched ballistic missile launching mass, the maximum range of up to a concave kilometer and the maximum throwing ability of knife ton are enough to prove that Russia has good submarine-launched ballistic missile technology. It should be noted that at the same time, the US Navy's "Thunderbolt" 7 submarine-launched ballistic missile was self-launched, with a range of 4,000 meters and a throwing ability of flying ton. The Republic's Navy's submarine-launched ballistic missile weighed nuggets, with a range of 1,000 meters and a throwing ability of 1,000 meters.

Among the two indicators of range and throwing ability, laymen pay more attention to the former, while those who pay more attention to the fact that inexperts pay more attention to the former

.

For countries like Russia, the significance of continuing to increase the range after the range of a submarine-launched ballistic missile reaches 4 kilometers. Although continuing to increase the range can also improve the missile's penetration ability, such as using a range of kilometer ballistic missile to attack targets 8 kilometers away, it can use a low ballistic missile to shorten the flight time, while using a ballistic missile with a range of only a concave knives, it can only use a high ballistic, which is more likely to be intercepted. However, in the face of a national strategic defense system with a strong interception capability, the benefits of shortening the flight time are obviously not as good as bringing more bait warheads. To carry more bait warheads, you must improve your throwing ability.

As a retaliatory weapon, the warhead equivalent of submarine-launched ballistic missiles has always been very limited, generally around 200,000 tons, only the old ten thousand tons. The direct benefit of reducing the equivalent is that it reduces the mass of a single warhead, so that it can carry more warheads with the same throwing ability. It is precisely this way, the number of warheads carried by submarine-launched ballistic missiles is often more than the land-based ballistic missiles of the same period, such as at the beginning of the century. The US Navy's "trident" is the most

Most of them can carry nuclear warheads with an explosion equivalent of 10,000 tons, while the "Ministry Field" can only carry 3 nuclear warheads of 10,000 tons. Although the London Treaty has made clear provisions on the number of warheads of submarine-launched ballistic missiles. After the third phase of reduction work begins, submarine-launched ballistic missiles can only carry up to 3 submarine-launched missiles, but with the same throwing ability, this means that more bait warheads can be carried. In fact, the penetration efficiency of submarine-launched ballistic missiles is improved.

In terms of policy, when carrying 3 nuclear warheads of 10,000 tons, they can also carry bait warheads with a total amount of 10,000 tons. The mass of the bait warhead is generally one-third of the real warhead mass reduction. The inertia loss caused by the reduction of the mini-booster engine is mainly obtained, so they can also carry about bait warheads. Compared with not equipped with bait warheads, but carrying 6 real warheads, when the interception probability of the enemy's strategic defense system is certain, at least the probability of the warhead successfully breaking out is more than twice.

It can be said that if Russia can make greater progress in miniaturization of warheads or make breakthroughs in mini-boosted rocket technology, make real warheads or bait warheads smaller, so that the strands can carry more bait warheads, and their penetration probability can be greatly improved.

Even so, Russia's strategic submarine can put huge pressure on the Republic's national strategic defense system.

Look at the total missiles of strategic submarines. If all of them are launched, they can throw out warheads that are difficult to distinguish between true and false. More importantly, in order to ensure that some warheads can penetrate smoothly and explode over the enemy's homeland, Russia's submarine ballistic missiles are likely to use "suicide open-circuit" penetration method. To put it simply, it is to let some real warheads detonate in outer space, destroy the intercepting satellites in the near-Earth orbit through the strong electromagnetic radiation generated, paralyzing the enemy's strategic defense system, and allow some real warheads equipped with electric sulfonate shielding systems to successfully penetrate smoothly.

Strategic submarines are the final counterattack force, so let alone Russia, even the Republic's submarine-launched ballistic missiles have a similar penetration mode. In this way, if you want to defeat Russia's strategic counterattack without any mistakes, you have to shoot down the submarine-launched ballistic missile before it flew out of the atmosphere. The reason is very simple. Even if the nuclear warhead explodes in the atmosphere, because the atmosphere itself absorbs electromagnetic radiation, the ionosphere can also shield electromagnetic radiation from some bands, so it has not a great impact on intercepting satellites, and at least it cannot achieve the purpose of a paralyzing strategic defense system.

Submarine-launched ballistic missiles are the same as land-based ballistic missiles. After launching, they only take dozens of seconds to leave the atmosphere.
