Chapter 681 S-300 Interception

The 9S19MT three-coordinate phased array radar was turned on to search for anti-tactical ballistic missiles. With a transmission power of 15 kilowatts, countless electromagnetic waves filled the sky, receiving early warning information from the command center of the 9S457-1 missile battalion. Through fan-scan search, 30 seconds after it was turned on, this radar accurately found the tactical ballistic missile flying 250 kilometers away! At the same time, it began to stably monitor the flight path of the incoming ballistic missile.

At the same time, the electronic computers of the entire missile system were processing at a rapid speed. With the Soviet Union's breakthroughs in the field of microelectronics technology in recent years, the S-300 missiles put into service were equipped with new computers with even faster processing speeds!

In later generations, even though Russia's electronic technology was underdeveloped, the S-300 missiles exported to China still gave Chinese military personnel a refreshing feeling. This type of missile was not advanced from any technical perspective unilaterally, but when these things were integrated together, they had an unparalleled effect. The Soviet technicians had the strongest integration capabilities. By disassembling the S-300, the Chinese military personnel's thinking was broadened, and they successfully improved the Hongqi 9 missile.

Under the circumstances at that time, the S-300 could become a sharp sword of air defense, not to mention now, with advanced electronic systems as a backing, the response of the S-300 system is even faster!

After more than twenty seconds of calculation, all the launch data was calculated and output to the 9M82 missile launch company not far away. This type of missile has a range of one hundred kilometers against targets such as aircraft, but when dealing with ballistic missiles, the range is sharply reduced to forty kilometers. This is due to the difference in trajectory.

For example, from the perspective of combat altitude, targets such as airplanes generally fly at around 10,000 meters in the air, but to fire ballistic missiles, it is necessary to fly to a maximum altitude of 30,000 meters. In this case, the energy generated by the thrust of the missile's engine is used to increase the altitude, so the distance will naturally be greatly reduced.

And now, the ballistic missile from the opposite side is flying towards us quickly. After the engine combustion is completed, it almost flies along a fixed curve, that is, the ballistic curve. Unless it has the ability to change trajectory twice, the falling curve of the missile can be completely calculated.

As the missile continued to fall and approached to within 80 kilometers, smoke rose from the launch site, and two 9M82 missiles flew into the sky one second apart!

The predetermined interception point is at the maximum range of forty kilometers!

At this time, everyone was extremely nervous. The Syrian army in the entire Bekaa Valley received an order to prevent a nuclear explosion. The warhead flying over was likely a nuclear warhead! The task of intercepting the nuclear warhead fell on them!

Another S-300 air defense missile position is also ready to go. If the interception here fails, they will have one last chance to refire.

In later generations, the United States boasted about how proficient the Patriot missile was in intercepting ballistic missiles, but it was later proved to be a hoax. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, would never deceive itself. The goal of developing this system was to intercept ballistic missiles, so it really had this capability!

The entire interception process only takes a few tens of seconds. Once the missile is launched, all operations are completed and all that remains is to watch the results!

The 9S19MT radar continued to transmit signals, and two bright spots appeared on the radar screen, approaching rapidly!

At the same time, the guidance radar on the launch vehicle synchronizes data and emits electromagnetic waves, which are reflected onto the missile's seeker. The three-axis rotating seeker firmly captures the direction of the target and constantly fine-tunes its own position.

Closer, closer, closer!

The time can almost be measured in microseconds. The relative speed of the two missiles exceeds Mach 10, and they can fly more than 3,000 meters per second!

Inside the missile's seeker, the dual-beam radio fuse begins to release electromagnetic waves, and determines the distance between the two sides through the returning electromagnetic waves. At this time, the missile also enters the final stage!

Closer, keep getting closer! When it was a hundred meters away, the seeker fuse activated, and an electric current entered the warhead!

"Boom!" With the violent explosion, countless broken-rod warheads flew out, covering the entire airspace of the incoming missiles!

At this time, only one warhead was left of the opponent's ballistic missile. This warhead suddenly disintegrated in the air while passing through the rain of death!

The nuclear warheads that split into four or five pieces have lost the possibility of detonation, but these nuclear warheads have become a greater threat. They continue to disintegrate in the air, burning due to friction with the air. A large amount of nuclear pollution fills the sky 40 kilometers southwest of the Bekaa Valley and 30 kilometers above the sky.

These nuclear pollutants continued to move downward until they reached the troposphere, where they began to be affected by air currents.

Although the Mediterranean climate has more westerly weather in winter, the situation changes on the eastern coast. The high-pressure belt from the North Caucasus makes the wind direction here more inclined to the northeast!

Driven by this air current, the nuclear contamination flew southwest, passed the mountains in the west of the Bekaa Valley, and continued to fly downward.

After a nuclear warhead is intercepted, it is difficult to explode again. After all, in order to make the warhead explode, the nuclear materials inside need to reach a critical volume and they need to be squeezed together.

Now, this warhead has been successfully intercepted, but the S-300 can only intercept it in the terminal stage, which leads to the radiation of the nuclear bomb and affects the local ecology.

Now, the only lucky thing is the weather! With the northeast wind blowing, these radioactive nuclear pollution are drifting towards the southwest, where is Israel's attack route!

"Order our troops to withdraw immediately to the Bekaa Valley!" Almost at the same time, an environmental monitoring aircraft that had just taken off detected radioactive contamination in the air. Andre in Damascus immediately advised the Syrian president: "At the same time, protect the people in the Bekaa Valley and let them stay in their homes and don't come out!"

The most polluted areas are those controlled by the Israelis. Let them suffer the consequences! There is radioactive dust everywhere. Let's see how the Israelis can continue the war!

The pollution in the Bekaa Valley is not serious. By activating the emergency plan, the local ecology can be protected. I’m afraid the Israelis did not expect this result.

Humph, the show has just begun!
