Chapter 1519: What about our missile defense system?
"Who, who is it? Has anyone declared war on the United States?"
Tripp yelled loudly with his eyes.
The Intelligence Chief said: "No, Your Excellency the President, we do not have information on this."
"What do you say about the Pentagon?" Tripp continued to ask.
"The Department of Defense has activated the highest defense level, and all military bases in the United States have entered a first-level alert state."
Tripp was a little relieved. Fortunately, it was just a missile. Even if it was a nuclear bomb, it would only attack a city at most, and it would not cause a devastating blow to the United States. As long as the United States knew who did it, the United States would definitely erase the enemy from the earth.
However, he still did not want any attack in the United States, because the losses of the United States would be uncountable.
Tripp immediately ordered, "Immediately order the Pentagon to use all means to intercept missiles. It's time for our missile defense system to work."
"Wipe."
The screen in the White House underground command room lit up, and the Secretary of Defense and a general appeared on the screen. The staff told Tripp: "His Excellency the President, the video call has been connected."
Tripp quickly walked to the big screen and stood still, saying to the generals on the screen: "How is the situation? I want to know the latest news."
"His Excellency the President, the missile was launched from the Pacific Ocean 53.7891/123.785 coordinates and is close to the United States, so our maritime defense has not played a role. Now the missile has reached 400 kilometers above Utah, and it is impossible to speculate which city it will attack."
"I have ordered all air defense facilities at bases in various places to be launched. The roadbed interceptor missiles at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado are ready. We will launch two 'Standard 3' missiles for interception," said the Secretary of Defense. "Well, intercept the missiles in 48 seconds, and conduct the first mid-interception."
Tripp asked, “How much is the chance of success?”
"Oh, the possibility of mid-section interception is about 75%." said the Secretary of Defense.
"How could it be so low? After decades of construction of the missile defense system, we have invested trillions of dollars, so why is it only 75%?" The president was very dissatisfied with this number.
"His Excellency the President, there are very complex issues involved and I will not be able to explain them clearly for a while." said the Minister of Defense.
"Where is our THAAD, it has invested hundreds of billions of dollars in deployment," the president asked.
The Defense Minister explained: "The range of THAAD missiles is basically within a high range of 180 kilometers, and the enemy launches missiles in space 400 kilometers away from the earth, so THAAD cannot hit it."
"But our focus on defense is the end position. At that time, the Aegis system and THAAD system can show their power, and the chance of blocking can reach about 97%.
"His Excellency the President, there are 9 seconds left, the missile will be launched. Do you want to see it?" asked the Minister of Defense.
"Well, turn around immediately."
The screen turned around and turned to the missile launch silo at Peterson Air Force Base. The derrick hatch had been opened, and the huge standard three stood there. The countdown began on the big screen. Everyone held their breath and watched the missile launch.
The countdown to launch comes,
“three”.
"to".
“one”.
“launh”
As the launch order was issued, a huge standard three missile began to ignite, and after a few seconds, it flew towards the sky at extremely fast speed. Immediately afterwards, the missile from the second silo was also ignited and launched.
The two missiles were in less than 10 seconds, one in front and one behind, and they were spraying flames and climbing rapidly into the sky. The picture turned again and turned into an electronic diagram, indicating that the arrows of the two missiles flew towards the sky, while the other indicated that the black dot of the enemy missile was moving forward quickly over the US mainland.
In the split-screen small lens, the Minister of Defense introduced: "The entire launch interception process of Standard Three takes about 3 minutes. Our satellite has locked the opponent's missiles. The x-band radar uses information processing technology to adjust the angle of Standard Three at any time to achieve the highest interception effect."
Three minutes later, the standard three breaks through the atmosphere.
On the screen, the big black dot representing the enemy missile was flying over the US mainland. Two standard three had already caught up, and the two sides were getting closer.
At this moment, Tripp was also extremely nervous, holding his hands tightly, muttering words, "Catch him, hit him."
The generals in the command hall of the Ministry of Defense were also nervously staring at the screen.
The people at the National Missile Defense Center clenched their fists and were nervous.
Two missiles are getting closer and closer to enemy missiles, and experts are busy in the US Space Command.
“The last track trimming.”
"The two sides are 80 kilometers away, and they are expected to collide in 13 seconds."
"The final calculation probability of success is 95.2%.
"Let's pray for America the rest."
Everyone reached out and hugged each other, praying silently, they were waiting, waiting to destroy enemy missiles, and waiting for the cheers of final victory.
Standing in front of the big screen, Tripp was nervous and excited. He had even thought that in a while, he would give a speech to the whole country, telling the enemy that the United States is powerful and invincible, and telling the American people that the United States has the strength to protect them and defeat any enemy.
Then, it was time for the United States to launch crazy revenge. No matter who the enemy was, he would not let it go. If the whole world saw that the end of declaring war with the United States was destruction.
Before Tripp could wake up from his fantasy, he heard a scream from the big screen, "No, that missile suddenly accelerated."
“Road deviation,”
"We can't modify it."
"2".
“1”.
"Confirm, no interception was successful."
The US Space Command gave the final answer.
On the big screen, both sides passed by. The two "Standard Three" missiles did not intersect with the enemy's missiles, but flew towards the farther outer space.
"Oh, my goodness."
"What should I do if I fail?"
"The disaster has not passed yet, and America is about to be attacked."
Many people couldn't help but scream.
"Calculate the cities that may be attacked later."
The units on the big screen were in chaos again. Tripp shook his fist hard and couldn't help but curse "Fake".
The picture changed and the Secretary of Defense appeared again and said to Tripp: "His Excellency President, I am very sorry, our first interception failed."
"Yes, I saw, why did this happen?" Tripp asked.
"The enemy's missiles must have used more advanced technology, and suddenly accelerated, and our missiles could not make any response adjustments in the final stage."
"What should I do next?" Tripp asked a little annoyed.
