"Icing ballistic missiles" are undoubtedly the most deterrent strike force, but Musk said: "Starlink" can make icing missiles all dud?
Poplar ICBM
As one of the craziest and largest programs in human history, the "Starlink Project" does have immeasurable potential.
From a military perspective, the "Starlink" is currently grossly undervalued.
First of all, we need to know that if we want to control the trajectory of the ICBM and achieve orbit change, we need to achieve it in the form of radio waves, just like the remote control car played as a child.
But the earth is round, when the missile flies to a certain distance, it can not receive the control signal, so it is necessary to send a signal control through the satellite, if the satellite is knocked down, the missile will lose control, so it is necessary to consider the number of satellites.
Starlink has launched more than 2,000 satellites, and will eventually launch 42,000 in a few years, forming a global satellite network.
Starlink
On the one hand, it can improve the strike accuracy of its own missiles; on the other hand, it can interfere with the enemy's radio commands and make the enemy's missiles out of control, or it can directly intercept the enemy missiles by incarnating itself as an "interceptor bomb".
Starlink satellites can intelligently form their own network, once one is knocked down, the other can continue to be used, automatically repairing the absence.
The core problem now is not whether there is a ability to shoot down the starlink satellites.
Because StarLink is backed by rocket recovery technology, it greatly reduces costs.
Successful recovery of falcon rockets
It is estimated that the cost of SatelliteLink is $3 million per satellite, while other countries need about $150 million to launch a satellite.
Therefore, the speed of the shot is not as fast as the speed of others to launch, and the price of "anti-satellite missiles" is several times higher than that of the Starlink satellites.
Musk's Starlink program will eventually launch as many as 42,000 stars, and if you want to shoot down all of these satellites, it is estimated that by 1% of the time, the country will go bankrupt, including the United States itself.
So who fights and who suffers, at present, there are nuclear powers that have achieved reciprocal deterrence militarily and the United States, but after the full deployment of StarLink, this reciprocity will be disintegrated.
Intercontinental missile launches
The essence of the disintegration is that any saturated intercontinental ballistic missile is difficult to drop into the U.S. mainland, because the Starlink's 42,000 satellites are tightly wrapped around the earth in three layers.
Crucially, these satellites have the ability to change orbits with kinetic energy, and if war breaks out, these satellites can destroy all hostile communication satellites.
For ballistic missiles entering the mid-range, each satellite has at least 6 to 8 interception opportunities.
In July 2018, the Pentagon launched a saturation strike interception exercise.
Starlink intercepted as many as 350 incoming ICBMs, all of which were successfully intercepted.
So can the Starlink network make the ballistic missiles all dud? It's really not impossible.
Musk said at first, "
The Starlink project can benefit all of humanity.
"Leaving aside other aspects, we can understand this sentence from two aspects in terms of the military aspect of missile interception alone.
First, the nuclear missiles of all countries cannot take off, so that all mankind is free from the threat of nuclear war; second, the missiles of our own countries can strike other countries at will, and the missiles of other countries cannot take off
。
Friends think about it, which one is more likely?
In mid-March, the StarLink exercise conducted data guidance on the F35 fighter, which was successful and the efficiency was increased by 30 times.
In early April, Musk gave a speech to cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the scene was full of cheers and the atmosphere was almost crazy.
What does this portend?
Finally, a statistic, in 2021, more than 51% of the 936,200 cars sold by Tesla were from Tesla's Shanghai factory. For me personally, I am determined not to buy a Tesla car.
I believe that there must be a response plan at the national level, and I believe that we have always been able to defend peace.
