In mid- February 2006 , the Chinese Second Artillery Force intercontinental ballistic missile train Liangxiang News Network ; February 14, 2007 , the Lunar twelfth lunar month of 27 , before the coming Spring Festival , the Second Artillery train DF-31 intercontinental ballistic missile re- appearance shocked all . CCTV public exposure , including ballistic missile launch control car train , command cars, carrying compartment ; command vehicle placed inside a large dynamic display screen and meeting rooms. Car show by the launch control button more than action. From the exterior view, the missile train car train with no distinction between ordinary Chinese ; coating is still green as grass in order to implement camouflage. The entire launch system composed by a total of 6-8 cars , capable of launching the improved DF-31 intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of over 10,000 km , can carry more than 150,000 tons equivalent of gold sub- guided nuclear warheads. This is so dreaded by Europeans, the former Soviet Union 's SS-24 intercontinental ballistic missiles is very similar to the train .
Soviet SS-24 rail-mobile launch system is formed by the 6-8 cars , called " Land nuclear submarine " , each motor control of a strategic missile launch system . To this end The former Soviet Union also built some of the special railway. Rail-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile launch , its greatest advantage is the motor speed up to 100 ~ 200km / h, mobile distance , one can maneuver transfer 1000 ~ 2000km, you can expand the scope of the mobile , easy to get rid of the enemy reconnaissance means of tracking. Stability while rail transport is better than road motor transport, vehicle turning rate is also smaller than the motor road , suitable for testing in the work of motor transport , can reduce the launch site launch preparation time , which have greatly improved the survival of the missile Probability.
Since 1986, Russia's strategic missile forces were deployed 36 SS-24 intercontinental ballistic missiles, nuclear warheads to 360 , with a total explosive yield over 126 million tons TNT. These shadowy death sufficient to destroy the whole of Europe , and difficult to effectively track and capture , so that Europeans civil liberties.
80 years of the 20th century , in the Soviet Union 's vast Siberian wilderness , and often some of the mystery of the green train. These trains only 6 to 8 cars , the train did not like the middle of some of the car window, holding the railway cars, railway cars insulation but is much longer than many close to the length of passenger carriage . These cars are vehicles used in the bogie , or even 4- axle bogies .
The trains never stop leaning against the mysterious city , are the hidden side of the line in the remote parking , and the tight guard of armed soldiers , international intelligence agencies have been tracking these mysterious train, which is located in Kostroma in central Russia Russian mobile strategic ballistic missiles Train 10 teachers launch . - Soviet iron fist , the former Soviet mobile missile train.
Of the United States also interested in rail-mobile launch system , the mobile launch of the railway a few on the few . The late 20th century, 50 U.S. ballistic missile silos technical issues have been a good solution , but the train is not designated launch location, orientation, communication and other issues yet to make progress , the old haunt to go down firing priority in the use of technology . Deployment of missile silos in the militia plan was finalized, the U.S. Department of Defense in 1962 formally abolished the "Minuteman "missile mobile launchers of the railway .
America 's rail-mobile MX intercontinental missile launch systems , including rail and standby positions in two parts. Standby position in the existing military bases , usually containing shells train stopped at the standby position of the bunker , once the situation is through the existing rail network need to be maneuvering . The first train of 8 cars , of which two carriages of the tube with an MX intercontinental missiles , two cars for safety equipment , a car used for launch control , one for maintenance , the other two for the locomotive. About 27 meters inside the missile launch , high 5.2 meters, including missiles, launchers, launching equipment , including a total weight of 227 tons, 180 tons by a heavy locomotive traction , the rated speed of 48 km / h , maximum speed 80 km / hour. Each car has two launch control officer fired , each train has a commander , each missile train takes about 30 people in total , including three civilian railway personnel , a conductor , four guided missile combatants, 6 Maintenance personnel , 15 security personnel. Select the main base of operations at the Warren Air Force Base, is responsible for the U.S. Strategic Air Command , in addition to about seven selected columns operating bases to deploy missile train.
China's ballistic missile early Jiemian Sha
China is now running with the air , underwater submarine and terrestrial highways, rail-mobile launch missile attacks on Trinity 's strategic capabilities, and thus has a strong strategic nuclear counterattack capability. China has a direct blow to the ability of enemy strategic objectives in depth , no country wants nuclear attack against China , it must bear a certain scale of China 's nuclear counterattack. This is China 's limited nuclear deterrence pursued .
The technical requirements of rail-mobile ballistic missile launches high survivability of nuclear war conditions, strong current , only Russia has confirmed this technology . Thus China's strategic missile force mobility and concealment capabilities will be greatly enhanced, but also to Western intelligence agencies to track and monitor missile launches greatly increased the difficulty of China's strategic nuclear strike capability in the submarine -launched ballistic missiles following the success achieved another qualitative Leap.
