Chapter 824 Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile
This winter came a little early. In September, the weather in Moscow started to get cold. People on the street were wearing windbreakers and walking in a hurry.
In the Kremlin, the atmosphere of discussion has always been extremely heated.
"Our Andrei has done a great job!" Defense Minister Ustinov praised: "He has already reached an agreement with the Argentines. In the future, the Falkland Islands will become one of our offshore military bases."
What matters between countries are naked interests. The Soviet Union helped Argentina fight the war for its own benefit, and that benefit was to open a military base in the Falkland Islands!

South America is the backyard of the Americans! The Americans have always regarded South America as their own territory, calling the shots here, but now the Soviet Union has achieved a historic breakthrough, stationing troops in the Falkland Islands! Get a reliable base in South America!
Needless to say, if a few ballistic missiles were deployed there, the Americans would definitely be furious. Now is not the era of the Cuban Crisis. If the Soviet Union really deployed ballistic missiles, it would definitely not withdraw them!

First the Far East, the Middle East, and now even South America have begun to achieve breakthroughs, and all this is thanks to Andre!
"Yes, helping Argentina and intercepting the American stealth aircraft is of great significance to us this time. We finally don't have to worry about the threat of American stealth aircraft!" On the other side, the commander-in-chief of the National Air Defense Force also said with emotion.
The American stealth aircraft is like a sword hanging over Moscow's head. They can deal with Blackbirds, but not Nighthawks! Therefore, Soviet technicians have devoted themselves to research and finally developed a weapon to counter stealth aircraft! Especially now, after the test on the battlefield, it has been proved that this solution is completely feasible!

Well, the next step is to continue to deploy large-scale long-range meter-wave radars in the country, especially in the direction of Europe, so that we can detect incoming stealth aircraft earlier and then make response plans. Therefore, the American stealth aircraft will no longer be so mysterious in front of us!
"General Secretary, Andrei has sent us two more suggestions from the South Atlantic," Marshal Ogarkov said. "He wants us to conduct an experiment of using ballistic missiles to attack aircraft carriers, and to hold a meeting of scientists, especially environmental experts, on the topic of the consequences of nuclear war."
As an expert in strategic deception, Ogarkov certainly knew what Andrei meant. In fact, Andrei and Ogarkov had discussed these aspects before.

Sitting in an ordinary chair, the helmsman of the Red Empire, Andropov, looked very happy. He looked at Ogarkov and said, "Are these proposals intended to contain the American aircraft carrier fleet?"
The Americans are angry, and the consequences are serious. They plan to use six aircraft carriers to cause trouble for Argentina aggressively.

How to deal with the threat from the United States? Of course, it is to come up with a more powerful weapon! And the Soviet Union really has such a weapon! It is not a confidential long-range anti-ship missile, but an abandoned ballistic missile project!
When it comes to ballistic missiles attacking aircraft carriers, the first thing that everyone seems to think of is China's research and development plan. For example, China's Dongfeng 21D is a special aircraft carrier killer.
However, this plan was not actually thought up by China; the Soviets took action earlier.
As early as the 1960s, the Soviet Union decided to develop the D-5 submarine-launched system for launching the 4K10 (R-27) liquid ballistic missile, and later determined that it was suitable for developing the 4K18 (R-27K) anti-ship ballistic missile based on it. This was the first attempt in the world. The second stage booster section of the anti-ship missile was not large in size and was mainly used to correct the trajectory.

At the same time, attacking an aircraft carrier is a systematic project. The Soviet Union had begun to develop a series of "Legendary" maritime satellite reconnaissance and target indication systems, including US-P and US-A satellites. At the same time, there was also the "Success-U" aviation reconnaissance and target indication system, including the Tu-95RTS reconnaissance aircraft, Ka-25RTS helicopter, etc. These two systems ensure the target aiming and indication of anti-ship ballistic missiles.
At the same time, since only the initial data of the enemy ship's position cannot ensure its destruction, the R-27K missile is also equipped with a passive receiving system that can receive enemy ship radar signals. When approaching the target, the missile will correct its trajectory by starting the second-stage engine twice in the exoatmosphere to ensure the successful destruction of the aircraft carrier and escort warships.
However, even so, the accuracy was still not enough to directly hit the enemy's aircraft carrier. In order to ensure the destruction effect, the Soviet Union had to equip this missile with a nuclear warhead.

This is a short-range ballistic missile with a maximum range of 900 kilometers, a launch weight of 13.25 tons, a length of 9 meters and a diameter of 1.5 meters. After the experimental results were achieved, it was already 1972, when the Soviet Union began to test launch it from the Type 605 K-102 diesel-electric submarine. There were 11 launches, 10 of which were successful. The final experiment was in 1975, and the missile accurately hit the target ship.
The experiment was completely successful at that time, and the conditions for equipping the army were met, but the Red Navy gave up. The reason was top secret at the time, and it was also very helpless. After all, it was still the Brezhnev era, and the ocean-going fleet was not enthusiastic. Gorshkov had to use a roundabout way to save the country, using helicopter carriers and aircraft carrier cruisers as excuses to develop aircraft carriers. It can be seen how frustrated the navy was. If the top leaders knew that the Soviet Navy had such a simple way to fight the American aircraft carrier formation, it would be even more impossible for the Red Navy to develop an ocean-going fleet!
If the enemy's aircraft carrier formation can be destroyed by launching ballistic missiles from submarines, then what is the point of having an ocean-going fleet? Therefore, the development of not only the R-27K anti-ship ballistic missile, but also the D-13 launch system of the R-33 anti-ship ballistic missile with more superior performance was terminated.

However, although the development work was stopped at that time, the entire system was still in a sealed state and could be activated at any time and put into actual combat again. And just last year, at Andre's suggestion, this system was reinvested in research and development. With Andre's support, the construction of the ocean-going fleet was certain.
Even if they don't use submarines and just use mobile launchers on land, the 900-kilometer range is enough to make the American aircraft carrier fleet afraid to act rashly! If they don't get within 900 kilometers of the Falkland Islands, they won't be able to take advantage of the aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, and there's no need to fight this war!
Force the Americans to stop military action! This is Andre's goal! Another plan is to build momentum around the world. If the Americans really dare to take action, it will force the world's human beings to the brink of death!
After listening to Marshal Ogarkov's narration, Andropov nodded: "Yes, we can approve these plans. The Americans must give up the plan to attack Argentina!"
