A-235
If you need to blow an ICBM out of the sky, ask the Russians.
Force Composition[]
- Don-2NU
- 68 interceptor silos
The A-235 also gets data from other Russian early warning systems, such as the Dnepr radars, Voronezh radars, satellite-mounted high-powered X-band radars, and other early-warning assets.
Sensory[]
The Don-2NM comprehensive command, control, search, targeting, and engagement system packs 4 massive UHF-band PESA arrays, along with an Elbrus-16C supercomputer (capable of handling 1 Teraflops a second), allowing it to track any and all ICBM-sized projectiles up to 3000km away.
Upgrades[]
None.
Armament[]
Interceptor Silo (68)[]
The A-235 commands 68 silos, each of which packs a 53T6M “Super Gazelle” ABM.
53T6M[]
The 53T6M is a three-stage 10-ton ABM. The 53T6M gets a modern semi-active radar seeker, an auxiliary IR seeker, modern integrated ECCMs, and last but not least, a solid tungsten block that acts as an excellent kinetic kill device—instantly flattens re-entry vehicles and satellites upon contact. The Super Gazelle can hit 12,000m/s as it hits its target—possibly even a satellite in orbit. This allows it to strike a target moving past 4,000 m/s.
Upgrades[]
Nuclear Warhead[]
Even through the updated seeker ensures a >99% hit probability, in the <1% possibility when the missile misses the incoming ICBM, lots of people will die. The Tzar has declared that unacceptable. Therefore, the original 10-kiloton fission warheads go back into Super Gazelle, which in the even of a near-miss, allows atomization of the enemy missile.
Protection[]
The Don-2NU complex, as well as its multiple silos, are fully protected by meters of steel-reinforced concrete, anti-EMP Faraday cages, and dedicated EW stations. The only thing they may fall to are bunker-busters.
Upgrades[]
None.
Mobility[]
Please contact me if you've found a way to efficiently move a 1,000,000,000+ ton radar structure and 68 10,000,000+ ton missile silos. And, it has to stay in one piece.
Upgrades[]
None.
