Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 110

“Be specific. what we can do.”

“Actually, there is only one surefire way. To cut off the bud in the first place.”

“·················ogue.”

“To put it simply, let’s bomb the origin.”

After that, the president looked at me silently.

Well, in reality like today, that’s not possible.

He said it again with a sly smile.

“But that is impossible under the current circumstances. We don’t have the operational power to do it on our own, and the United States is not in a position to agree.”

“Then how about it realistically?”

The president nodded his head and asked.

“The practical way is to intercept them in the ascending stage. In that case, it also serves as a deterrent to some extent.”

“what······.”

“If it is intercepted at the same time as the launch, the damage will be suffered by North Korea. Then, of course, wouldn’t you be burdened with the launch itself? That means it becomes a deterrent.”

“But is it possible?”

“Theoretically it is possible.”

To be precise, it was a practically feasible problem.

Not only the United States, but also Europe and Israel had already started researching for a long time, and although most of them were discarded, some possible outcomes had been completed before I returned.

But the problem is…

“The problem is that in our case, we don’t yet have the conditions to make that happen.”

“·················ogue.”

The president looked at me with still eyes.

meaning to prompt for explanation.

I had a teaspoon and a cup of coffee on the table. And he continued talking by using all the objects around him.

“In order to be able to intercept ballistic missiles in the ascending phase, we need to detect and act quickly that much. Finding quickly here means using the reconnaissance assets I described last time. Signal Interception and Ground Surveillance Controllers. Or through satellites and drones, etc. But unfortunately we don’t have any of them in place yet.”

“Unmanned aerial vehicle?”

The president showed interest in the word “unmanned aerial vehicle”.

What was the first word that came out?

I have listed the advantages of drones.

“Yes, for example, the high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle currently in operation in the United States. If you have it, you have more reliable detection than any other reconnaissance asset.”

“Are U.S. drones so powerful?”

The president asked with a surprised face.

He drew his attention, picking up a teaspoon for a more specific explanation.

“Global Hawk has excellent detection performance, but is characterized by a long flight time.”

“I know that.”

“By the way, if we have about four of them, it’s almost like we’re operating 24/7 reconnaissance satellites. In addition, Global Hawk is equipped with an interception device, so there is no need to have a separate signal interception device. In other words, that alone is enough to detect the launch signs of a ballistic missile.”

When I spit those words out, I remembered the time when our military introduced the Global Hawk before returning.

Unlike the United States, the case was passed without interception equipment.

In fact, it was the effect that our military first introduced the signal reconnaissance aircraft because the United States refused to sell it for a long time, and in the end, the problem caused a lot of commotion.

The argument is that our military did not have to pay double for our military.

On the other hand, there is a riot about introducing a half-size Global Hawk.

“But just because it is possible to detect, doesn’t it mean that an ascending-level intercept system is in place?”

“Yes. Detection is just detection, so we need an interceptor.”

“Then how do you intercept?”

The President asked with a gleam in his eyes.

Picking up two teaspoons again, I gave a more specific explanation.

“Actually, the most ideal way is to mount the missile on the drone. In that case, detection and interception can happen almost simultaneously.”

“Well, it must be that the response speed is faster.”

The president nodded his head.

But he looks at me again and asks, as if he has doubts.

“But is it possible to catch an ascending-stage ballistic missile with just an ordinary anti-aircraft missile? First of all, you can’t keep up with the speed of ballistic missiles, right?”

“If it were an ordinary anti-aircraft missile, it would be. But if it were a hypersonic interceptor, it would be a different story.”

“…however hypersonic missile can be caught within the ascending phase? I know that the ascent phase of a ballistic missile is only a few minutes.”

“Considering the propulsion of the types of ballistic missiles currently being developed, around 1 minute and 30 seconds is the limit. However, the distance between North and South is not very long. Therefore, if an interceptor with a speed of Mach 6 or higher is activated in the air at the same time as detection, it is possible to intercept within that time.”

In that regard, it could be said that it was fortunate that the distance between the two Koreas was short.

If the distance was farther than the current one, the missile’s range itself becomes a problem, aside from securing the time necessary for an interception right now.

However, most of North Korea’s missile assets are located not far from South Korea.

If only I had high-altitude reconnaissance. And if only the intercept system can be mounted there, it is a possible scenario for us.

‘The problem is that.’

There really is no way we can get it.

“One thing to keep in mind is that it has high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. And this is the story of when the reconnaissance aircraft can be equipped with weapons. In other words, it is a proposition that cannot be realized right now.”

I quickly announced the truth in the hope that the president might inflate a vain dream.

The president, realizing the reality late, twisted his forehead.

“i See. We don’t have high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. Even if they wanted to introduce it, they wouldn’t even sell it in the US.”

“Even if they sell it, it is a problem. Mounting arms there is something that the US has not yet attempted, and even if we do, the US cannot allow it.”

“Hmm······.”

He looked serious again.

After all, if that’s the case, the problem is eventually going back to the beginning.

But that’s not the way I really wanted to present it.

In other words, it is not yet a disappointment.

“At this point, I can give you one piece of hopeful news: Intercept in the ascendant phase is not necessarily the only way.”

“·················ogue.”

After that, the president adjusted his posture again.

Jaechok’s eyes go beyond the limit.

He was just explaining, picking up the paper and pen he had on the table.

“For now, reconnaissance assets can be replaced with early warning and signal reconnaissance aircraft, which we will soon start developing in place of drones. And we’re launching our interceptors from the ground, not from the air.”

“But if the interceptor is fired from the ground, the response time will be delayed that much…”

The president, who was responding, was momentarily blurry.

It was as if he had noticed what I was trying to say.

I slowly nodded and continued explaining.

“That’s right, we’re taking the hypersonic propulsion technology we’re developing with Russia right now and applying it to our interceptors. If we link it with the UAV’s detection system and the central air defense control center to build a system that can launch immediately upon detection, there is a sufficient chance of winning on the ground.”

“But is it possible to respond in only one and a half minutes?”

“In Korea, if the interceptor has a speed of Mach 12, it is possible on the ground. At that speed, if the launch location of the ballistic missile is located within approximately 300 kilometers, it will reach its target in just one minute.”

“… Mach 12?”

“Yeah, that’s the real hypersonic realm.”

“Huh…”

The president looked at him like he was embarrassed.

It is not unreasonable to be surprised.

However, he continued to explain without hesitation.

“But the problem is that in the case of ground launch, the elements of reaction time and speed change after launch have to be added to that time. If KTMO Cell (Ballistic Missile Control Center) is operated, it can be reduced to about 15 seconds.”

“It’s breathtaking.”

“Yeah, so the best way is to put the interceptors in the area closest to the demilitarized zone.”

“·················ogue.”

The president did not speak for a while.

As I tilted my head to see what I was thinking, he glanced at me and asked.

“This is a matter of arguing for seconds like that. Well, that aside, how about using the fighter you’re developing now as a reconnaissance asset? I heard earlier that a fighter of the level we are developing would be enough.”

I was surprised by that.

Actually, it’s not that impossible.

In such a case, it is clear that he also has no ordinary knowledge in this area.

“It is true that the RF signal detection capability of AESA, which is currently scheduled to be installed, is easy to detect ballistic missiles. Then, it is possible to utilize the aforementioned detection and interception system at the same time. In the case of the United States, for example…”

I stopped involuntarily when I tried to spit it out.

I almost would have mentioned the F35.

In fact, in the case of the United States, the fact that the radar and sensors of the F35 were used to assign a reconnaissance mission and an intercept system of an ascending stage was conceived.

“What about America?”

The president hastened my reply when I hesitated.

After a quick glance, he slowly turned away.

“Ah! In any case, it is possible to use fighter jets. The only downside is that there are a lot of problems in that case.”

“What is the problem?”

“It is virtually impossible to operate a manned fighter 24 hours a day, no matter how much it is replaced. And that it causes a decrease in the lifespan of the aircraft due to excessive operation.”

“……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Perhaps because there were so many deep stories, the president looked like his head was hurting.

I have done all the advice I can give right now.

I try to get up slowly, but he stutters and throws the word again.

“I’m just saying, is there any possibility that we will develop our own high-altitude drones?”

“I’m sorry, but that’s…”

I paused for a moment as I spit out the words.

Israel.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

It reminded me of the high-altitude drone that they had stopped developing.

Excellent radar and IR signal detection and RF signal detection capability.

And an object with powerful performance that can withstand the weight of a missile weighing a whopping 1 ton.

However, it was eventually abolished due to changes in the surrounding environment and some technical problems.

I shook my head and said again.

“Unfortunately, it is impossible.”

That’s what I said, but somehow it left behind.

Historically, Israel has the world’s best technology in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles. Moreover, it is one of the countries that can cooperate with us in many ways.

To be honest, it’s not impossible to revive it and develop it jointly if you want to.

‘If that happens, building a system that can detect and intercept at the same time is not just a dream…’

[The government announced measures to counter the threat of North Korean ballistic missiles this morning.]

A few days later, the President announced to the press that the construction of the KMD had already been completed, as he told me.

Of course, intercept tests at medium and high altitudes, as well as at low altitudes, got on the news.

Thanks to this, the Blue House has suffered from visits from neighboring countries and U.S. government officials for a while, but there is no news as to the exact details of it.

– Development of a hypersonic intercept system has been approved. As in the case of Hyun Moo, the development itself is confidential, so no time is wasted by the council.

A few days later, I got a phone call from the Blue House.

It didn’t really make any money, so I wasn’t very impressed, but I think it’s positive that our military’s strength will increase.

I immediately headed to the Hypersonic Development Center, which is being developed jointly with Russia.

[What are you doing here all of a sudden?]

Natasha, who is in charge of monitoring the Russian researchers, had just returned to Korea.

After her brief greeting, she went ahead to guide me to her laboratory.

[Look at me for a moment.]

He immediately turned her back and looked at her for a while.

[What’s on my face?]

Natasha tilted her head as if wondering why she only stared at her.

But maybe she felt something strange, and soon she turned into a serious expression and looked straight into my eyes.

[Tell me something to President Putin. I think the time has come for us to stop tug of war with each other.][··········.]
