International Conflict, Western World Threats and Geopolitical Intelligence
The effort to refurbish elderly W76 nuclear warheads is being held up by difficulties in manufacturing a substance codenamed “fogbank.” A year ago, the nuclear weapons industry was proposing new warhead design for the navy’s sea-launched Trident D5 ballistic missiles. This would involve replacing 3,000 W76 warheads that currently equip 336 missiles. This project would cost about $100 billion. The navy preferred to refurbish the W76s.

Ballistic Missile Submarine The modern nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine is one of the most complex, and without doubt the single most destructive machine man has ever created. Capable of remaining submersed and invisible for up to six months, then within minutes able to shower any landmass on the planet with multiple independently targetable thermonuclear warheads. Marrying a nearly undetectable launch platform and virtually unstoppable miniaturised warheads reentering the atmosphere at 12,000 mph, each submarine can deliver enough explosive force to destroy an entire continent.

GMod Strategic Weapons Part 1. Nuclear Ballistic Missile A short video of a nuclear ballistic missile test. A ballistic missile is a guided missile which flys along a ballistic (parabolic) arc, impacting from above. The first developed was the V2 missile used by the Nazis in world war 2. Later developments by the USSR and USA lead to the creation of ICBMs which were the most feared weapon throughout the cold war. Unlike other garrys mod missiles, this missile is truly ballistic (a nice arc, no up then down malarky), and is not based upon pre-downloaded missile templated or launchers.

Nuclear Weapons, Nuclear War and World War III - WWIII A nuclear fireball lights up the night in a United States nuclear test. In nuclear fission, the nucleus of a fissile atom (in this case, enriched uranium) absorbs a thermal neutron, becomes unstable, and splits into two new atoms, releasing some energy and between one and three new neutrons, which can perpetuate the process. UC Berkeley physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer led the Allied scientific effort at Los Alamos. Massive new physics machines were assembled at secret installations around the United States for the production of enriched uranium and plutonium. The two fission bomb assembly methods. The atomic fireball at the "Trinity" nuclear test secretly rang in the atomic age. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed tens of thousands of Japanese civilians. The "Mike" shot...

Middle East Update - Iran Test Fires Missiles (rockets) BibleOrTraditions (RTTNews, July 8, 2008) - Iran has threatened to attack Israel and the U.S. navy in the Gulf as its first response to any attack on its nuclear sites, media reports quoting a senior aide to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Tuesday. "The first U.S. shot on Iran would set the United States' vital interests in the world on fire," said Ali Shirazi, who is Khamenei's representative to the naval forces of the elite Revolutionary Guards. He said that Tel Aviv and the U.S. fleet in the Persian Gulf would be the targets that would be set on fire in Iran's crushing response. (World Tribune, June 22, 2007) Iran has expanded its naval presence in the Straits of Hormuz, the passage for an estimated 40 percent of global crude oil shipments. The U.S. Navy has determined that Iran has... Tags: BibleOrTraditions, conflict, fired, hezbollah, iran, israel, missile, news, nuclear, test, war, weapon |

SS-23 Spider 9K714 OKA Missile In the early 1970s, the Soviet Army sought a replacement for the 9K72 Elbrus (SS-1C `Scud B') system, which had a very slow reaction time [around 90 minutes to prepare and fire] and its poor accuracy when using conventional warheads. The replacement system, codename 9K714 Oka, was developed by KB Mashinostroyenia (Machine Industry Design Bureau) in Kolomna. The new 9K714 system featured a reaction time of under 30 minutes and used the low-maintenance solid-fuel 9M714 missile. The 300 km range of the R-300 (`Scud') was surpassed by the 400 km range of the 9M714/R-400. In the early 1970s the Warsaw Pact had only a limited ability to strike North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) air bases in Europe. However, by the mid-1980s Soviet forces could strike NATO airfields in all types of... Tags: army, MAZ, military, missile, nuclear, OKA, rocket, Russia, Russian, SS-23, Tactical, Theater, truck |

Anti-ballistic missile 53T6 Gazelle Test mission Launch. http://53T6gazelle.wol.bz Anti-ballistic missile 53T6 Gazelle Test mission Launch Vehicle nov. 2004 53T6 Gazelle Moscow System The 53T6 [NATO reporting name GAZELLE] is a short-range ABM interceptor missile, which was first introduced in the mid-1980s, was designed to intercept ballistic missile reentry vehicles inside the atmosphere. The missile, which has not been displayed in public, is thought to be similar in design and mission to the US Sprint interceptor that was part of the Sentinel/Safeguard system. On 02 November 1999 Russia tested this short-range interceptor rocket for the Moscow anti-ballistic missile system, in what appeared to be a symbolic warning to the United States not to go ahead with an expanded ABM system.

The Race for the Strategic Ballistic missile 1/5 Race for Ballistic missile missile that follows a sub-orbital ballistic flightpath with the objective of delivering a warhead to a predetermined target. The missile is only guided during the relatively brief initial powered phase of flight and its course is subsequently governed by the laws of orbital mechanics and ballistics. To date, ballistic missiles have been propelled during powered flight by chemical rocket engines of various types. A missile may be largely ballistic but be capable of some evasive maneuvering, as has been claimed for the Bulava under development. In that case the term "quasi-ballistic" is sometimes used. The first ballistic missile was the A-4, commonly known as the V-2 rocket, developed by Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s under direction of Walter...

Topol-M SS-27 Missile ICBM The single-warhead Topol-M is an advanced version of the silo-based and mobile Topol intercontinental ballistic missile. The solid-propellant three- stage Topol-M missile complex, with a standardized (silo and mobile) missile, is to become the foundation of the Russian strategic nuclear forces in the 21st century. It is planned to accommodate Topol-M both on self-propelled launchers as well as in silos. High survivability of the mobile complex is achieved by the capability of offroad movement, of a continuous change in location and of a missile launch from any point along the movement route. The Moscow Institute of Heat Engineering (MIT) State Enterprise is the only plant in Russia building such missiles today. The modernized 45-ton Topol-M is the first strategic missile to be built by... Tags: army, ballistic, ICBM, MAZ, military, missile, nuclear, rocket, Russia, Russian, SS-27, Strategic, Topol, truck |

Nuclear Triad In nuclear strategy, the nuclear triad refers to the three tiers of a country's nuclear arsenal, traditionally composed of strategic bombers (carrier-based or land-based; armed with bombs or missiles), land-based missiles (MRBMs or ICBMs), and ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs). To be considered a part of a nuclear triad, weapons must have a first- or second-strike function, lest they be considered a tactical nuclear weapon. The possession of a nuclear triad significantly reduces the possibility that an enemy could destroy all of a country's nuclear forces in a first strike attack, ensuring a credible threat of a second strike. This increases a nation's nuclear deterrence. The triad also gives the commander the possibility to use different types of weapons for the appropriate...
