Completely negating any defensive measures which may have been queued up. These glide vehicles can also do an atmospheric skip (imagine a jet boat bouncing over water) that also increases the difficulty of intercept. To be clear the last few tests of the SM6 system against non maneuvering Hypersonic ballistic targets resulted in only 1 of 3 reentry vehicles killed. Of 6 interceptors, only 1 target was hit... leaving the possibility that 5 of 6 interceptors *missed* To say the state of defensive measures against even ballistic Hypersonic reentry vehicles is in its infancy is no understatement.

Imagine how amazingly entertaining it would be to run scenarios on state of the art defense simulators with the best possible variables for all military systems in operation worldwide. : ) Despite the details of the results, I think it's agreed nearly any nuclear power with a couple MIRV-enabled ballistic missiles will get through any defense. For isolated launch instances, I believe it makes sense Russia has the best capability. However, I also believe the massive investment for Russia to upkeep so many more nukes than they require to obliterate all targets, in addition to focusing so many resources for many decades into advanced SAM systems capable of intercepting ballistic missiles, is quite a waste. The US is also wasting resources on this, with the difference being they're simply able to afford those projects while funding everything else too. After the "Star Wars" program, I believe it's safe to say the US pivoted somewhat towards more conventional capabilities. Then with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, many US weapons programs were terminated. Desert Storm sustained military strength along with Kosovo to an extent, the 9/11 attacks kickstarted huge growth in both conventional capabilities (and modernization programs being initiated as those wars played out), while also vastly increasing the size of special operations forces and capabilities. For example, estimates of total US special forces command personnel (support and HQ companies included I think) went from 40k in 2001 to an 80k peak in the late 2010's, to around 70k at present given the end of Afghanistan. With so many hypersonic weapons programs in development in multiple countries, I believe SAM systems as a whole will improve, but again, I don't see the US or any country developing a system capable of defeating hundreds to thousands of simultaneous launches. The only effective means of realistically and reliably doing so would be developing the capability to hijack or destroy satellite systems which enable the communications, guidance, tracking, and detection of ballistic missiles. Interestingly enough, the US apparently launched prototype satellites with anti-satellite capabilities over a decade ago (per rumor/speculation admittedly), but their capability of shooting down a satellite with an SM series missile was made public when they wanted to ensure a US satellite in a decaying orbit didn't hit land with its volatile onboard chemicals/materials.

Defending against a nuke strike would be difficult but the thing people do not realize is that is that a nuke does not have to actually hit its target to cause damage or even be close, the US did testing with them long ago to find the optimal detonation height to cause maximum physical damage, but they also tested the optimal height for maximum EMP damage and they found that at the max physical damage height the EMP effects where minimal and blocked by hills and the curvature of the earth, however a single detonation in low earth orbit far above any interception capability would rain down an unimpeded EMP that would blanket cover most or all of a small country. This would effectively shut down a country by instantly tanking out country wide civilian infrastructure, peoples cars / trucks / phones / Computers ETC would also be rendered non functional shutting down communications and more importantly the distribution of food to shops

Regarding the inadvertent nuke detonation during interception, due to the physical construction of nukes it would be nigh on impossible for it to occur. There will always be those who want to argue this point, but the way the components have to be combined in a highly precise symmetrical 'explosive lens' makes any destruction from the outside of the weapon render this impossible.

Hypothetically there could be other types of nuclear weapon that are classified or not common knowledge but I couldn't comment on that. One of the reasons that the major powers accrued so many weapons was because they werent sure how many would actually work, even before taking into account interception.

@@michaelvangundy226 while interception would most definitely cause radioactive material to be dispersed over a large area, which would definitely not be good. The radiological effects would pale in comparison to an actual detonation. In a detonation, especially one close to or on the ground, the nuclear chain reaction of a detonation actually creates more radioactive material than is in the warhead through the bombardment of surrounding material. So it would definitely be better to shoot the missiles down. (By no means do I think you're implying letting them through would be better, or even that you didn't already know this.) A great example of this is the idea of so called "salted bombs" which surround the warhead with inert cobalt or other materials which are transformed into a highly radioactive material, making a smaller warhead much more radioactively potent. You have to wonder what humanity was collectively smoking during the cold war.

Actually a sarmat is a 200 ton missile which has 10 mirv and 40 decoys, means 1 missile 50 targets. US defence systems are set to have 27% kill probability against ballistic targets which is pretty good but still it will require 4 missiles for 100% kill probability of 1 target, hence 200 missiles for 50 targets/ 1 sarmat missile. These numbers could get worse as these are machines if some fail it would be too late. Now, UK is not capable of that at all because only 5 countries US, Russia, China, India and Israel have proven Anti satellite and ballistic missile defence. Uk , France, Italy and Iran claim but not proved as these systems are still in testing phase. Truth is no country is fully safe against ballistic missile with hypersonic re-entry vehicle and mirv.

Yeah, this is basically intercepting SCUDs. We see this in action in Ukraine quite frequently with Russians intercepting Ukrainian Tochka-U missiles. Its the best the game can do, but these are several times slower than actual reentry velocity of ICBM warheads. Also the Sarmat has a higher throw weight than the original Satan.. comes with 10-15 MIRVs and a buttload of countermeasure decoys. Any terminal intercept ABM site would effectively be overwhelmed with a single missile. There is good reason why the US ABM efforts, after leaving the ABM treaty, focus on mid-course interception, not terminal. Another aspect is that an initial missile might be used to cause a disruptive EMP event with a high altitude detonation, further increasing the odds of the following warheads to penetrate defenses. Anyhow, as it stands - UK doesnt actually have any defense against an ICBM strike.

@Milo Jones you first have to track it (not just see a blimp in your radar/optical device). Then - based on tracking - you have to develop firing solutions (just like in this video), calculating possible interception trajectories (if at all possible considering your interceptor characteristics). Then comes the hard part, most modern nuclear missiles can maneuver during terminal phase (changing trajectory in a random manner, like Iskander), so your firing solution can be thrown in the trash. So in reality, the only reliable defence against the imminent effects of a nuclear attack is big territory, where you can hide and maybe last until radiation eventually decrease to survivable level. Nuclear attacks - unfortunately in a nuclear war - will be primarily directed on military and real economical targets, which tend to be not far from population centers. So the bigger a country (with more scarce populatio), the higher its chance of survivability is...

well this was fun, as a game! in reality 1- you need to hit them before reaching your air space (it’s not like there will nuclear detonation only on target) 2- even then we are doomed, as at that point we have already fired back and regardless the nuclear fallout goes around the earth

The only way a Tor is going to intercept a ballistic missile is if the target happened to be right adjacent to the Tor where the solution wouldn't change much.

The Scud missile you're using in this simulation mostly breaks up into multiple parts upon reentry & it is very difficult for the ABM to distinguish between the warhead & debris.

(Also they are many many instances of their air defense working, but MSM doesn't want you to see that for obvious reasons). In many Western countries you always have at least one example of a plane who entered the country's airspace undetected before getting intercepted by fighters.

A DDG-51's (and Ticonderoga's for that matter) ability to defend against ballistic missiles will depend on its current radar set and what is sitting in the tubes. For the radar set it depends on if the ship has received the Aegis BMD upgrade. This is an upgrade to both the AN/SPY-1 primary radar system as well the AN/APG-62 FCS radars. For ships without the upgrade they can still engage ballistic targets but are not as efficient and cannot do so at greater ranges. Ships with the upgrade meanwhile are able to engage at much greater distances and can provide more accurate guidance at higher angles (IE missile coming down on your carrier task force). As for the missiles the primary ABM weapons are the: RIM-174 (SM-6)- Essentially a modified AMRAAM seeker on a VLS RIM-67 (RIM-156) and an additional booster motor and RIM-161 (SM-3)- current form is the largest SAM in the US arsenal other than the GBI and is capable of engaging targets in low earth orbit including missiles still in their boost or midcourse phase of flight. To my knowledge the missiles carried by the Burke and Tico in DCS are RIM-66 (SM-2) which are SARH missiles reliant on the AN/APG-62 radars (3 per ship) to provide illumination. Without the BMD mod this is... challenging. Furthermore the RIM-66 is not meant for the BMD role and is simply too small and slow for the task hence the other missiles. It is by no means a guarantee that any given destroyer in peacetime will have either of the appropriate weapons aboard much less in suitable quantities. People with actual naval experience would be better than myself at confirming this but in general most Burke's are tomahawk heavy while the Ticonderoga's handle fleet air defense more directly although both ships can perform either role. TL:DR: in DCS the Arleigh burke class is not setup to deal with ballistic targets but managed to do pretty darn well in this scenario anyway

Good video but I am confused about which scenarios Britain has existing capability for and which are just hypothetical.

Very important to determine what block of the Aegis anti-missiles are being modeled. Current SM-3 models have a range and ceiling well over 1000 km and a speed of Mach 13. THAAD uses the same missile, maybe a generation older.

Patriots missiles are meant for shorter range interceptions which is why they were deployed later when incoming enemies’ missiles are closer to their target. THAAD will easily take them out long before that!

Nice job, but one tidbit for nukes. For a nuke to go off properly, there needs to be an internal sequence of finely tuned explosions to trigger the reaction. So if you shoot down the rocket, their nuclear warhead will be rendered mostly harmless. it'll still detonate but the explosion will be much smaller than intended. Think of a Moab or less.

The U.S. keeps special arleigh burkes in Rota Spain armed with sm3 anti ballistic missiles for this reason. So the ones modeled in game while being able to take some out are not as potent as the special mission burkes out of Spain.

For all the impressive stuff we have. There is stuff equally as scary. Its unfortunate but its there. Most military weapons and vehicles. Are 30+ years old because there is no need to update them as they are good enough. Yes new stuff gets sprinkled in here and there. But if it ain't broke don't fix it.

You likely wouldn't have a nuke going off when hit by an anti missile. Nukes aren't like conventional explosives. They don't go off from shock. Nukes rely on shaped conventional explosives carefully timed to implode the first stage fission core perfectly from all sides at once. If not perfectly compressed you won't get anything or at most only a fizzle where just a part of the fission fuel explodes which would only be a very small fission explosion. Since that would happen far up in the atmosphere (Air burst) you wouldn't have any long lasting radiation and the explosion would be too far up to affect the ground. Most ICBMs are fusion. The conventional small fission device compresses the fusion fuel to create a secondary hydrogen reaction. This takes enormous pressures, heat and release of neutrons. With only a fizzle conventional explosion the pressure and heat won't be enough to set off the hydrogen reaction. Your greatest danger would be the plutonium debris of the first stage fission fuel falling down in inhabited regions. If intercepted over water you wouldn't have that.

The condition for fission is "supercritical mass" "An assembly that supports a sustained nuclear chain reaction is called a critical assembly or, if the assembly is almost entirely made of a nuclear fuel, a critical mass. The word "critical" refers to a cusp in the behavior of the differential equation that governs the number of free neutrons present in the fuel: if less than a critical mass is present, then the amount of neutrons is determined by radioactive decay, but if a critical mass or more is present, then the amount of neutrons is controlled instead by the physics of the chain reaction. The actual mass of a critical mass of nuclear fuel depends strongly on the geometry and surrounding materials." "Supercritical mass" depends on density, increase the density enough and the fissionable material will go supercritical. If it goes supercritical the resulting fission explosion will initiate a fusion reaction in any fusionable material in the proper thermal and pressure environment for sustained fusion. Your comment is just plain and simply wrong as it assumes that neither of these two conditions would be met if the fissionable material is "hit and blown into random pieces". If enough fission material is present in the original device, the likelhood that at least some of it will go into fission is...anyone's guess. But if it does and there's enough of a hydrogen or lithium/lead blanket that is exposed to high enough temperatures and pressures from the fission reaction then it also will go into fusion. The whole problem here is that exactly what do you have as a basis for your opinion? Have you ever seen any group ever successfully detonate an explosive material near a nuclear device and have it fail to detonate when prompted or even fail to go nuclear on its own? Has that ever actually been tested? Did they call you when they got the test results? You know, even in WW2 with the V2 rocket once the rocket ascended high enough and reached a high-enough speed, nothing was going to stop it from crashing down on or near target and exploding. They only reached sub-orbital heights and velocities. Russia has been developing these things since they backed out of the ABM treaty. You honestly think they have spent 20+ years developing ICBMs with MIRVS that could easily be tracked and destroyed? www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/safety-and-security/non-proliferation/hiroshima,-nagasaki,-and-subsequent-weapons-testin.aspx#:~:text=About%2064%20kilograms%20of%20highly,city%2C%20on%206%20August%201945. About 64 kilograms of highly-enriched uranium was used in the (Hiroshima) bomb which had a 16 kiloton yield (i.e. it was equivalent to 16,000 tonnes of TNT). So what's the multiplier? 4:1 converting from kg to tons of TNT yield. So if you want a MT yield, you need 4Mg of u235, which is about 4 tons of u235. Per IRV. I'd guess that you can cut that weight in half (total SATAN-2 weight is about 220 tons carrying 15 IRVs so they are probably closer to a ton each, of u235, which is among the most dense material known to man) with a boosted fission bomb (a "hydrogen bomb"), as you get more energy with say lithium and lead then you'd get with u235, unless you replace the lead with more u235 and make a 3-stage device (which would then fission all of the u235 not just the u238 in it). You would then need to detect, acquire, target and intercept this device while it's hurtling through space, and increasingly-dense atmosphere, at Mach...20, or there-abouts. With active evasion. With 14 of its buddy IRVs doing the same thing. Per SARMAT-2 missile. Yeah sure, we'll just hit them all with a massive TNT blast and disable them. All of them. So simple.

High-power lasers run this process in reverse, combining a bunch of beams that cover different spectrums of electromagnetic energy and outputting a single beam. This is already being field tested & could be operational soon.

A few comments here. First off, great job simulating this within the limitations of DCS. I realize the video is intended for entertainment purposes but I'd like to state some facts for anyone watching who cares. MIRV warheads reenter the atmosphere at over Mach 20, meaning the time they can be detected by one of these ballistic missile defense systems vs impact is less than 20 seconds. The only missile system that have been proven to be able to intercept ICBM MIRV warheads in their mid-course phase is the ground-based midcourse defense system. There's like 40 interceptors based in Alaska and 4 in California with like 20 more being built. The Navy has the Aegis missile defense system which can use SM-3 and SM-6 missiles to intercept short and medium range ballistic missiles in their boost phase. There's also land-based Aegis launchers in Eastern Europe. These have not been tested against MIRVs in their decent phase. THAAD is probably the most promising development. the US has 7 batteries in the pacific (that we know of) and it uses a kinetic "kill-vehicle" to hit the MIRV at high speed. These have a promising track record and can intercept the MIRV in the atmosphere or in space. The Patriot PAC-3 is capable of intercepting short and medium range ballistic missiles (like SCUDs) but has not been tested on MIRVs which travel much MUCH faster and have a very much lower radar cross-section. There are other plans like there's always been, about developing a space-born "Star-Wars" style satellite net of laser-armed interceptors to kill missiles in their boost phase. If this ever gets deployed I doubt we'd hear about it. Also plans to equip F-35 fighters with interceptor lasers, which may not be feasible. The short of it is that all of the US missile defense systems are designed to stop a limited or "rogue" missile attack from North Korea or Iran. Nothing is designed or able to stop a full-out missile strike by Russia or China. Any nuclear attack by Russia on the UK would be met with an equal or much stronger nuclear strike to take out their submarines, missile silos, air defenses, and command structure (ie, Moscow).

hey don't the usa also now officially now have the fully opratable switchblade multi intercept kinetic kill impact missile drone! this drone is just a drone that's also a kinetic kill missile that is just a unmanned version of a kamikaze plane! but its a drone thats is also a multi purpose missile at the same time! but it's meant to take down a lot of enemy equipment such as planes, missiles, cruise missiles, hypersonic cruise missiles, icbms, ships, tanks, and other stuff as well!

@@cshader2488 In UK service, the UGM-133 is usually loaded with a mixed loadout of RVs. Some post-boost vehicles will have a small number of RVs for a limited strike while others have eight or 10 RVs for a full effort second strike.

Just to say... SS-X-30 "Sarmat" deploys a MIRV warhead with 14 (some say up to 20) single vehicles of which some are decoys and all of them deploy countermeasures and actually steer their trajectory to the target with "evasiveness" at 24.000 km/h. Considering multiple missiles would be used in a large scale attack (no sense in a small scale one just to get retaliated) that means a SHIT SHOWER of nuclear bombs coming down like lightning and doing things to avoid interception. In all the simulations the Pentagon has done in the last decades THEIR state-of-the-art air defences succeeded in stopping at best 1 out of 3. So just stop fooling around and dreaming.

one additional thing to remember, for a fire solution from Russia to England, they also have to fly over Poland Germany and depending on exact launch / flight path the Netherlands Belgium or France; or over Finland Sweden and Norway. Each country has anti missile defense as well and would take fire solutions at them. Firing a (nuclear) missile over someones soil is a big no no.

Not really. They could fire it from a sub in the waters north of GB.

The title reminded me of a fictional BBC documentary from the 60s that I just watched a few weeks ago. Basically a must watch to see what nuclear war actually means. Look for "The War Game : Peter Watkins - Internet Archive" with the search engine of your choice, but be wary of its absolutely dramatic content. It's clearly not a stroll in the park. Anyone who understands should also watch "Der Dritte Weltkrieg". There's a version with English subtitles on the Tube as well.

I'm not sure why people really need to watch a documentary about living in the after-effects of a high-yield nuclear strike what they need to do is do what is necesssary to prevent a high-yield nuclear strike. The time to develop and deploy a defense against ICBMs passed when the ICBMs were deployed. Just as the time to remove Western corporate assets from Russia passed when the Russians nationalized Shell assets in Russia. We've been living a massive DELUSION about all of this. Fingers in the ears, "the Russias would never actually nuke us" blah blah blah like people realizing that the crazy neighbor guy now has an arsenal in his basement that includes a collection of rockets, mortars and missile-carrying drones

@@touristguy87 Well, it's about generating a general consciousness about how utterly destructive those weapons are, while they do not instakill a grand major of their victims. In the end, of course, it's not the average person who decides if those get launched, but the more aware they are of how terrible it would end, the more willing they might be to stop their governments from pulling that off eventually. It's kinda comparable to how much is taught about the Nazi regime and 3rd Reich in Germany in order to prevent that from happening again by simply putting how shitty it was up everone's face just pften enough. And I guess, for many of those who are generally interested in war stuff, it might just be interesting to watch. The War Game totally concentrates on how an attack would go, including the after-effects, while the German fictional documentary more or less concentrates on how a conflict could evolve, even by accidents, with a series of events that ultimately might lead to the nuclear war catastrophe. The frightening thing about that being that there actually are some parallels to the currently ongoing conflict which is why everyone who isn't already should be made aware of how important it is to not get NATO dragged into the conflict as a whole for as long as possible.

@Milo Jones None of the GMD intercept tests have ever included realistic decoys and other countermeasures. Contrary to some claims, the tests have not demonstrated that the system can successfully intercept incoming warheads under realistic conditions. Many of the intercept tests have included decoy balloons, to test whether the kill vehicles can distinguish the mock warhead from other objects. However: The decoy balloons and other objects used in the tests have been designed to look very different than the warhead, so have been made easy to distinguish. Information about the different appearance of the objects is given to the kill vehicle in advance, so that it can recognize which object is which. Decoys that prove difficult for the kill vehicle to distinguish have not been used in subsequent tests. For these and other reasons, the GMD system has not demonstrated success in dealing with realistic decoys or countermeasures, and cannot be considered an effective defense. And BTW there are only 44 deployed GMD interceptors in service and with a 50% hit probability, requiring two per target. We'd shoot down a whopping 0.5% of incoming warheads if the system works as advertised.

@Milo Jones Dude, I live in the US. And everything I said was cited in a congressional budget report about the GMD's shortcomings. I tried to send you a link but KZread probably blocked it. Radar and Lidar can't scan for density. An X-Ray scan of a moving atmospheric object would send out more radiation than the fallout of the bombs you're trying to stop. A nuclear warhead is way more expensive than a similarly sized decoy. As well as the rocket that's launching the MIRV bus VS individual interceptor rockets. Which is why US ICBM's also use decoys in their MIRV package. Oh and anything procured via MIC contractors always works perfectly? It's just so nonsensical I think you're trolling.
