Chapter 389: Pioneer Missile, shocking the world
So the first test shot, the results were unexpectedly good.
The remaining time was only one minute, and everyone in the entire command center was watching with breath, and the Pioneer missile kept falling from 100 kilometers of the atmosphere.
Finally, between breathing, the Pioneer Ballistic Missile broke through the atmosphere and then appeared over the Arctic Ocean. Then, at extreme speed, dived towards the Russian retired destroyer that had already been parked on the sea.
It was said that it was too late, and everyone didn't even have time to blink. They just saw the missiles coming quickly and hit the target instantly!
Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion exploded on the Arctic Ocean. The steel wreckage, which was bombarded by the explosion, scattered in the air with flames during the impact.
With a range of more than 5,000 kilometers, the perfect hit to the target, the key is the extreme speed of Mach 27, an attack mode beyond imagination. This made the two Canadian Ministers of Defense in the hall secretly shocked.
If Russia's pioneer missile is officially put into service and mass production begins, then its threat will be even more terrifying than Russia's strategic bomber. After all, strategic bombers can send fighter jets to intercept. At most, it is a little more difficult.
This pioneer ballistic missile, with the current defense systems of various countries, cannot resist it at all. It can only be slaughtered.
As the missile completed its test launch perfectly, warm cheers and applause suddenly erupted in the command center of the Russian Army Command. This was the first test launch of the Pioneer Missile. If it was the second or third time, it could fly smoothly and hit the target.
This means that this missile does not have much technical problems and can be mass-produced and officially put into service.
"Minister Jackson, Minister Ed, thank you for coming to visit, my Russian missile test launch." After everything was over, Mawei said to the two ministers with a smile.
The stronger the Russian defense force, the more secure it will be for him. He will have a greater voice in the international community in the future.
"Mr. Mavie, you are polite. Thank you very much for your hospitality..." Minister Jackson said, somewhat unreliable. His mind is full of thoughts. All he has been thinking about is Russia's latest pioneer missiles.
Including the missile breaking through the atmosphere just now, flying over 100 kilometers, and doing free navigation. The shocking attack mode was so shocking that when he went back to Canada, he didn't know how to describe this matter to the Canadian Prime Minister.
"You're welcome, Minister Jackson." Mawei said with a smile. He did not mention the Canadian ship order, nor did he hint the other party to give them the order to Russia, because there was no need to do so.
After all, anyone with a little brain will seriously think about which side should they favor after seeing the situation in Europe and the Russian military power significantly.
The next day, the test shot of the Russian Pioneer Missile was selectively reported by the military media. As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar around the world...
"Yesterday, our Russian Far East military base tested the latest pioneer missile to the Arctic Ocean 5,800 kilometers away. The missile's maximum speed is Mach 27 and its maximum flight altitude is 100 kilometers. It can break through the atmosphere and fly freely, and then dive downward when approaching the target 30 kilometers away... The following is the relevant picture of the missile's test launch..."
The report content of military media showed the characteristics and threats of the pioneer missiles very well. This made the military forces of Japan, South Korea, France, Germany and other countries who saw this news instantly smelled a trace of danger.
"The Russians have been secretly developing medium-range missiles, 5,800 kilometers range, Mach 27, can break through the atmosphere and then launch an attack?" French Ministry of Defense officials looked at the report in shock. If everything is true, then Russia's pioneer missile is more dangerous than their Poplar intercontinental missile!
"5,800 kilometers range? Is this a verge of the "Intermediate-Mail Contract"? With the attack mode of this missile, my country's anti-missile system has no way to intercept it." The German military was also worried by this news.
Conventional ballistic missiles, even if they are intercontinental missiles, have a flight altitude of only 50 kilometers below the stratosphere. Therefore, the anti-missile systems of any country in the world are all aimed at this altitude and conduct missile interception design.
"Have you confirmed it? Yesterday, the destroyed destroyer in the Arctic Ocean area was done by this pioneer missile from Russia?" The British Prime Minister, who had just returned to the UK from Russia for a few days, was secretly shocked when he looked at this report.
To be honest, the Russian President did reveal that they were about to test-fire missiles last week. However, the British Prime Minister at that time, like Canadian Defense Ministry officials, didn't take it much seriously.
But now, once the report is released, it is completely different. The British president reads the news word by word and suddenly feels that if Britain can become an ally with Russia, it seems to be a good thing. After all, now, Germany and France are no longer reliable.
Moreover, Britain's Brexit has officially begun to take the process. Instead of really looking for the Russian alliance on the day of Brexit, it is better to plan ahead and make careful calculations for the next step.
As Russia's latest pioneer ballistic missile developed by the country has caused a sensation internationally, not only has its opponents been under great pressure. The Canadian government's international bidding tendency has gradually tilted towards Russia and Britain.
First, the British and Canadians have made deep friendships since a long time ago (During World War I and World War II, Canada followed the UK and picked up many cheap ones). Second, the overall situation of the EU is worrying at present, and the withdrawal of Britain will be a very serious blow to it. Maybe in the future, the euro will not be the second largest currency against the US dollar.
So after careful consideration, the Canadian Ministry of Defense decided to distribute the 30 billion US dollars ship orders to British and Russian shipyards at 16 billion and 14 billion.
To this end, Canadian Minister of Defense Jackson also held a press conference to announce the final result of the international bidding.
"After a warm discussion between our Canadian Ministry of Defense and the Royal Canadian Navy, I officially announced that we will introduce 12 Type 45 Brave Class destroyers from the UK. We will introduce 6 Hyundai Class destroyers, as well as 4 Amur Class submarines, 6 missile boats, and 5 mine-branches from Russia."
