More on this heli, use an online translator :
http://www.checkpoint-online.ch/CheckPoint/Materiel/Mat0035-FranceRadarHorizon.html

The prototype of this heli called Cougar horizon was tested during the gulf war, it was able to communicate with JSTARs as well as Apaches to lead them to their targets. Basically an helicopter mounted JSTARS. the radar had a 100 miles range against combat vehicles.

>The fear of ICBMs hidden in disguised passenger planes

This is so stupid on so many levels.

Firstly, you cannot drop something the size of an ICBM out of a passenger aircraft. There is just no way to make the plane capable of doing that. You need a serious heavy lift aircraft to even get it into the air, let alone drop it out the back.

Secondly, the US was never going to disguise an IBCM-launching aircraft as a passenger jet. The US doesn't disguise its military stuff as civilian stuff and it wasn't going to randomly start doing that in the middle of the cold war for just this one thing, mostly because:

Most importantly, there is no reason to put an ICBM-carrying aircraft anywhere near the enemy. It's an ICBM. You can launch it from anywhere.

The most likely application of something like this would be to provide yet another layer of second-strike capability. E.g., the Soviets figure out how to blow up all of your other shit because it's on the ground, in the sea, or near their airspace, but you can still launch an ICBM because you have one (or hundreds) circling over Nowhere, USA.

It's the same reason we built planes to fly around and act as airborne C&C stations - so that even if the Soviets wiped out everything else on the ground, we would still have some guys flying around in a plane ready to direct fire towards the enemy.

Anyway, here's my contribution to the thread - a BMP-T actually being used.

So, so, so wrong. The whole reason the Cuban missile crisis was a "thing" is that by launching closer to the target, you deny their command and control time to respond. With a sub, it's called a depressed trajectory shot. The idea is that if they only have 2 minutes from launch to detonation, no one can reach a bunker, and their entire capitol, with all its command apparatus, dies, and is unable to order counter offensives.

You don't need disguised passenger jets flying towards your enemy with ICBM's inside them to do that. You can just use the things you already mentioned - medium-range missiles and the vehicles that carry them (like subs and trucks and stuff).

It's a second strike thing, not an initial strike thing. You're being obtuse.

Those are limited by terrain and boundaries. Subs are bad on land, and trucks have a hard time driving over vertical concrete walls. A routine airline flight can be anywhere up to and including their frickin doorstep.

The whole reason the Cuban Missile Crisis was a crisis was because the Soviets were giving them small, easily moved and hidden missiles capable of hitting the major metro areas along the Gulf Coast.

What they had and what they were supposed to get couldn't have even reached Norfolk, much less DC, and were ENTIRELY geared towards killing civilians in non-military-target major metro areas. Because the Soviets were dicks and the Cubans wanted to be "meaningful".

Do you not realize that the weapons we are discussing can hit targets from 3,000 to 5,000 miles away?

You do not need to be inside the borders of Russia to hit Moscow. You can be off the coast of New York.

The missiles that we started this conversation discussing, the ICBM's, can hit targets from the other side of the world.

Your nuclear force is not going to be impeded by "vertical concrete walls". You do not need to fire an ICBM inside your enemy's borders. You don't even need to be in Europe.

>>32178737

I'll use very small words to help you get it.

The closer you are, the sooner they die.

If you fire from the US, they'll know the missiles are coming. Then they fire back.

If the missiles are REALLY close, they don't know they're coming, and they all die.

How dumb are you?

My point is that you can launch these weapons from literally any point on the earth. You can be 2 feet away, or 5,000 miles away. It doesn't matter.

The capability that you think an ICBM-carrying aircraft would provide already exists in the form of MRBM's and IRBM's, missiles which have been designed and fielded for the the express purpose that you have been talking about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-launched_ballistic_missile

>An air-launched ballistic missile or ALBM is a ballistic missile launched from a bomber. An ALBM allows the launch aircraft to stand off at long distances from its target, keeping it well outside the range of defensive weapons like anti-aircraft missiles and interceptor aircraft. Once launched, the missile is essentially immune to interception. This combination of features allowed a strategic bomber to present a credible deterrent second-strike option in an era when improving anti-aircraft defences appeared to be rendering conventional bombers obsolete.

>Skybolt ultimately failed several key tests, while the US Navy's UGM-27 Polaris offered the same advantages and more.

>In the early 1970s, the USAF tested air-launching a Minuteman 1b ICBM from a C-5A Galaxy transport aircraft. On 24 October 1974, the Space and Missile Systems Organization successfully conducted an Air Mobile Feasibility test where a C-5A Galaxy aircraft air-dropped the 86,000-pound missile from 20,000 feet over the Pacific Ocean. The missile fell to 8,000 feet before its rocket engine fired. The 10-second engine burn carried the missile to 20,000 feet again before it dropped into the ocean. The test proved the feasibility of launching an intercontinental ballistic missile from the air. Operational deployment was discarded due to engineering and security difficulties, though the capability was used as a negotiating point in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks.[1][2]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Arms_Limitation_Talks

>The SALT II Treaty banned new missile programs (a new missile defined as one with any key parameter 5% better than in currently deployed missiles), so both sides were forced to limit their new strategic missile types development.

>>32179910
Which is why they warn off Civilian ships when threat level is high.

Also the electronic systems used to target would get the ship destroyed probably faster than it could successfully fire off it's strike. The moment the ship did something that looked like targeting it would get blasted.

As a aside those 3M-54TE, 3M-54TE1 and 3M-14TE missiles have a 50 to 300km range and probably have so-so EW capabilities. It would be more likely they would get used to hit land or civilian targets by surprise. At that point container ships possibly suddenly become valid military targets. They have a inertial guided land attack version with a 1,500–2,500 km range. The Russians have fired from warships in the Caspian into Syria with that version. I'm not sure if the containerized version supports that missle. Also the container version might need to have the ship do specific maneuvers to get into a firing position. I would like to know what kind of physical stresses the containers undergo when fired. The vision of the first couple firing making a stack of containers fall over seems amusing.
