Moscow's missile defense in the event of a nuclear strike is recognized as the most effective in the world. This is the conclusion reached by the American military columnist of the National Interest magazine.


"Can you guess which city is best protected from a nuclear missile attack? London? Washington, DC? No. This is in Russia, " writes expert Caleb Larson.

The basis for this statement was the modernization of the missile defense system of the Russian capital, which in the media was called the A-235. The new missile defense ring is being created taking into account the experience of previous Soviet and Russian missile defense systems.

"Apparently, there is a plan to update the potential of the Russian missile defense system. Namely, to exchange the nuclear payload for conventional explosives and rely on mobile launchers, rather than underground missile silos, " the observer believes.

Earlier, the commander of the division of the 1st Army of Air Defense-special purpose missile defense, Major General Sergei Grabchuk said that the modernization of the second-generation A-135 system will increase the level of reliability and safe operation of missile defense systems, increase the range and height of the affected areas. It is planned that the new generation of missile defense system, upgraded by 2022, will be equipped with ultra-high-speed anti-missiles-more than 5.5 kilometers per second. The missile can withstand overloads of up to 200 g, which allows it to maneuver in flight and intercept existing and promising weapons of destruction.

In addition, it was reported about the development of mobile-based missiles for long-range transatmospheric interception. According to media reports, this two-stage anti-missile 14C033 "Nudol" will be used as the main means of hitting targets.

Recall that in April, a successful launch of a missile of the Russian missile defense system took place at the test site in Kazakhstan. According to the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the anti-missile system confirmed the inherent characteristics, and the combat crews successfully completed the task, hitting the conditional target with the specified accuracy.

Не на случай "ядерной войны", а на случай ограниченной и/или "ошибочной" атаки с использованием нескольких МБР.
