missile mean for modern warfare? To be honest, it has become the protagonist.
For powerful countries, missile technology is a manifestation of the strength of military power, and for some relatively weak countries, missiles are a small and powerful tool. Missile technology used to be a secret held by a few countries, but with the end of the Cold War, a large number of missiles in the Soviet Union's reserves have been lost to other countries, such as the famous SCUD missile. This almost helped the missile to complete its popularity in the world.
In the Middle East, West Asia, and South Asia, SCUD missiles were once known as artifacts. Although its performance is not advanced, as long as it has a Scud, it has the ability of long-range deterrence. If a country has a good industrial foundation and can imitate and upgrade these old missiles, then congratulations, you are already eligible to enter the World Missile Club. It may be difficult to develop a fighter by yourself, but missiles are easy to get started.
This may not be a good thing for world peace, but the real big killers are still the secrets of the powerful, such as intercontinental missiles. The first country in the world with a combatable intercontinental missile was the Soviet Union. Even now, Russia's intercontinental missile technology is still enough to make the world afraid. Not to mention the current RS-28 "Salmat" intercontinental ballistic missile and "Topol" missile. In the 1970s, the Soviet Union had a weapon called the "Devil" by NATO. It was the R36 intercontinental missile. .
In that era, the R36 "Devil" missile was able to achieve global strikes without dead ends. It can carry 15 warheads with an equivalent of 600,000 tons, and one missile is enough to cover tens of millions of people. At that time, NATO was very worried about the R36 missile. It believed that the power of this missile far exceeded NATO's existing weapons. The R36 missile could fly to Antarctica first, then pass over the South Pole, and then hit North America. Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to illustrate the problem.
As for the latest RS-28 "Salmat" intercontinental ballistic missile, it has a new nickname in NATO, which is the second generation of "Devil". Not to mention its progress in carrying capacity, a range of 20,000 kilometers alone is enough to achieve truly global-scale, dead-angle strikes.
hopes that such a big killer will never be used that day.
