In the traditional impression of many people, even in formal professional documents, they once believed that fixed well-launched intercontinental missiles are the most primitive and backward launch method, and are extremely easy to be "disarmed" in advance by the opponent's preemptive nuclear attack. However, this view has been proven to be not completely scientific and correct after entering the 21st century. Because times have changed, human technological capabilities are also constantly improving. The nuclear impact resistance capability of fixed launch silo has been directly increased from the early 1950s to the point where it can only defend 0.1 to 0.3 megapas to the point where it can defend more than 250 megapas today. In other words, in the past, a "gust of wind" could make the silo blow out without effect; but to this day, if the ground-based nuclear bomb was not directly hitting the manhole cover of the silo but exploded outside a radius of 100 meters, it would not affect the degree of subsequent launches. Another reason is that after several rounds of large-scale nuclear disarmament, the number of warheads on duty in first-class nuclear powers has generally dropped to an unparalleled level. The total number of silos in active service of
is obviously more; that is, the number of warheads on duty is only 2 to 1 or even 1.5 to 1 compared with the total number of silos in active service of opponents. Once all warheads on duty are used to attack the opponent's fixed launch silos in a preemptive manner, there is not enough remaining warheads to attack the opponent's big cities or other strategic goals. On the other hand, if we do not take the initiative to attack the opponent's fixed launch silos, but attack the opponent's densely populated areas and other infrastructure first, then all the opponent's fixed launch silos will launch a strategic counterattack within half an hour; the end of the end will be a nuclear war with both sides suffering from both sides and no winning side at all. Therefore, a sufficient number of fixed launch silos at this time became the best choice to attract opponents nuclear to attack firepower in advance. It’s not right to let the opponent fight, nor is it not right to not fight. It can be said to be a very good, strategic and very difficult to do multiple-choice question! Actually under today's technical conditions.
Sea-based and air-based nuclear strike methods are not much better than the mode of a fixed launch silo after extreme reinforcement. For example, superpowers placed more than 70% of their nuclear strike forces underwater. Always ready to launch randomly from the depths of the ocean. This kind of launch method is indeed elusive and is quite difficult to defend and position in advance. But don't forget that the strength of the superpower's underwater nuclear strategic power is consistent with the history and current situation of the overall strength of the superpower's navy for a long time. On the contrary, if the superpower navy is no longer the world's largest strength on the water surface, the underwater launch positions of the 14 superpowers' Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarines, , will gradually be exposed and no longer safe. Just like the Soviet Red Navy's nuclear strategic nuclear submarine, it was once lurking underwater around the world during the Cold War era. However, after the overall collapse of the Soviet Red Navy, even the last nuclear submarine, , is no longer safe. The actual reaction speed of the space-based nuclear strike is too slow. All intercontinental missiles have landed there.
is still flying slowly in the air. Therefore, it is only suitable for tactical nuclear strikes. On the contrary, today's powerful fixed launch silos have the fastest reaction speed, the highest strike accuracy, the farthest range, and the largest number of thrown warheads. Superpowers have built 1,000 fixed launch silos in history, and now there are still about 500 available. The former Soviet Union has built more than 1,300 launch silos, and so far there are still about 500 to be used. Another company has built about 500 new "wind power facilities"; if it is expanded by 1 times to 1,000, it can ensure permanent peace!
