China's Missile Warning System to Reduce the Possibility of a Great War Moscow - China's new missile attack warning system will reduce the possibility of conflict between nuclear powers. By assisting China in creating this system, Russia is contributing to strategic stability and security, military experts told TASS, Friday, 4-10.2019.
Russian President Vladimir Putin told the Valdai International Discussion Club plenary session on Thursday that Russia was helping China develop its national missile attack early warning system. This system will drastically increase China's defense capability. At present only the United States and Russia have such a system, the Russian leader said.
"These are the elements, which provide better situational awareness, as they call it in the West. That is why, that [missile attack early warning system], in principle, is the backbone of stability and drastically reduces the likelihood of unintentional incidents with missile weaponry, "Editor in Chief of the Arsenal of the Fatherland journal Viktor Murakhovsky told TASS.
In the expert's opinion, the better the information a country possesses strategic nuclear power, "the less likely a military conflict will arise because of inadequate data on missile launches."
His views were shared by Editor in Chief of the National Defense journal Igor Korotchenko. "The existence of an early warning system for missile attacks in China based on Russian technology and solutions, coupled with China's strategic nuclear power, increases transparency and certainty and reduces the risk of wrongdoing and actions by the Chinese military and political leadership," Korotchenko TASS said.
The expert cites an example of a hypothetical conflict between the United States and China. In his opinion, the Chinese national missile attack warning system would not allow the US to carry out the first crippling attack on China in the event of a real war because China would have all the information about who could provide an attack on it, if such an attack was sent, and, as such, will authorize the retaliatory work of its nuclear forces.
"Thus, we contribute to global strategic stability," said the expert.
Russian technology
"For several years now, China has been studying our missile attack early warning system, its operating algorithm and technical capabilities, and finally, it has made the decision that it needs a similar system. We provide consultation support and technology transfer. "For that and provide some equipment," Editor-in-Chief of the Arsenal of the Fatherland journal Murakhovsky explained.
Russia is helping China with ground-based radar station technology, Editor in Chief of the National Defense journal Korotchenko said.
"First of all, this is an over-the-horizon radar technology that can detect ballistic missiles launching between land and sea continents," noted the expert
In turn, Murakhovsky pointed out that this could be an early missile meter radar and a distance of one Voronezh (the Voronezh-M and Voronezh-DM radar stations developed by the RTI Systems Group).
In the opinion of experts, the transfer of control systems to China is also possible. "Our system is unique with innate protection against false activation and" with protection against fools. "As far as I understand, we can transfer control systems like that too," Murakhovsky said, adding that China might create a space segment on its own.
Risk for Russia
Assistance to China in creating an early warning system for its national missile attack poses no threat to Russia, Murakhovsky said.
"It must be understood that the early warning system for missile attacks is a passive segment of anti-missile defense and does not have offensive capabilities. This is actually an information element that helps detect missile launches, calculate their trajectory and possibly the crash site. warheads, "said editor-in-chief of the Arsenal journal of the Fatherland.
His opinion was shared by Korotchenko: "No matter how our relationship can develop, it is already a fact that China is a nuclear power while the existence of an early warning system for missile attacks only reduces the risk of error because it helps clearly understand who is attacking you, whether there is an attack or not and from where, from which country the attack came, "said the expert.
"Early warning systems for missile attacks are benefits for nuclear power and benefits for others," he stressed.
US reaction
Editor-in-Chief of the National Defense journal Korotchenko urged the United States to support the construction of an early warning system for missile attacks in China. On the other hand, there are adequate military specialists there who will also consider this an element of strengthening stability
