The USA for the first time
successfully tested land option of antimissile defense of «Idzhis
system» – Aegis
Ashore which analog was earlier so productively tested for the sea.
As well as the sea version of
this missile defense, system of land basing effectively intercepted the
ballistic educational purpose imitating start of the rocket with the nuclear
warhead which is armed at Russia. Reports the site Lockheed Martin about it –
the developer of the Standard SM-3 Block IB antirocket which struck a target –
the simulator of the rocket of average range started from the C-17 plane
(analog of the tactical nuclear missile which the Russian Iskander system is
capable to start). It was recorded by a radar of AN/TPY-2 and transferred
coordinates to Aegis Ashore system which intercepted a target already with use
of own locator of AN/SPY-1.
«Last tests proved that
possibilities of Aegis on interception of the ballistic purposes which were shown
at the sea within the last years earlier, will become available soon to land
missile defense systems which are constructed in Romania within the 2nd stage
of the European stage-by-stage adaptive program (European Phased Adaptive
Approach, EPAA)», – the vice-admiral James Siring, the agency head on
antimissile defense (MDA) of the Ministry of Defence of the USA declared.
The Aegis Ashore system
constructed in Romania in May, 2015 and which is nowadays passing tests will
come on duty in some weeks – at the end of December. The similar object will be
built by 2018 in the north of Poland – around Redzikovo to the coast of the
