spent rocket stages (this must be either 1st or 2nd stage, because very huge) discarded by the missile tested, after it's multi-stage launching sequences.
　　就在昨日在新浪微博China航天网友发布了一段视频显示，在中国西北某地一群民众在围观火箭发射残骸，而残骸上赫然印有E/ADF-26B字样。据网友们的推测很可能就是东风-26的改进型导弹。

　　自2007年以来，关于东风-26的报道就开始在媒体上出现。2015年9月3日阅兵式上作为核常兼备导弹方队首个型号初次亮相。是继东风-21D后世界现役第二种大型中远程反舰弹道导弹。东风-26是中国第一个射程可到达关岛及关岛美军基地的常规弹道导弹，因此被网友冠以“关岛快递”或“关岛杀手”的称号。

　　中国一旦有足够数量的东风-26同时使用，就能够干掉关岛上的重要美军设施，将打垮现有的美军反导系统。那中国这款东风-26B改进型更加先进，网络上传播了也有几天了，如果军方认为是军事机密泄密就会通知删除的，但中国军方此时没有通知删除那可以认为是允许网友把东风-26B改进型残骸在网络上公布的，可能想通过网络方式来警告美韩部署萨德，美韩可从东风-26B改进型残骸上推测到中国有更先进的导弹。

　　据美国《国家利益》就报道过美国要升级反导系统防东风26导弹的威胁，从侧面可以证实美国对中国东风-26的能力感到畏惧。现有的反导系统面临防不住东风-26导弹，东风-26具有能力干掉现有的美军反导系统，何况更先进的东风-26B改进型， 若解放军想对付美韩部署的萨德反导系统其实很容易。东风-26B改进型或成为萨德的克星。

　　近期美韩搞突击加速部署萨德，令中国很生气。中国外交部发出了强烈警告。中国国防部也做出表态针对萨德部署进行军演。然而就在中国军方这一表态后，解放军进行发射了弹道导弹有两点：

　　一、中国想通过此次试射新型导弹来警告美韩部署萨德。二、可能检验我军此款新型导弹的性能。

　　根据17日公布航行A0985通告：中国在4月底4射弹道导弹。4月27日上午9点15在中国西部酒泉的航天发射中心一区域的上空高度封闭了一小时开始第一次弹道导弹测试。因此，4月29日发射的弹道导弹的型号，或者是56基地的中程弹道导弹家族东风-21家族推出的最新型号弹道导弹。每天都是双弹道导弹试验，其试射的导弹很可能就是东风-26B改进型导弹。（作者署名：小飞猪观察）

美航母抵近朝鲜 中国曝光最新杀手锏可打击整个西太

　新浪军事编者：为了更好的为读者呈现多样军事内容，满足读者不同阅读需求，共同探讨国内国际战略动态，新浪军事独家推出《深度军情》版块，深度解读军事新闻背后的隐藏态势，立体呈现中国面临的复杂军事战略环境，欢迎关注。

　　一张疑似中国全新型导弹（E/ADF-26B）的照片曝光，有军事专家估计，这是反制美国导弹防御系统的多弹头导弹，针对THAAD系统的意图十分明显。据新加坡《联合早报》8日报道，根据中国媒体刊登的影片截图，这是在中国北方某地坠落的导弹残骸，弹体外部刷涂有E/ADF-26B字样。据分析，导弹外壳上的EA字样，很有可能是electronic attack两个单词的首字母缩写，即“电子攻击”的意思。这也许是东风-26最新改进版，可携带电子脉冲弹头，秒杀美国的反导雷达。同时，照片中E/A的A字，也可能是代表反幅射导弹（anti-radiation missile， ARM）的简称。由于美国在韩部署THAAD系统，还打算在日本部署，已接近中国“家门口”，且是在中国导弹上升初段威胁，因此，这种新型导弹针对THAAD的意图十分明显。
　　具有“关岛快递”美名的东风-26中程弹道导弹



　　提起东风-26中程弹道导弹，人们耳熟能详的就是该导弹是“关岛快递”，是中国用来专门打击美军驻关岛的基地的，也就是主要打击美军在亚太地区主要的战略轰炸机基地和核潜艇基地的。因为在关岛的阿普拉海军基地驻有美军4艘以上的“弗吉尼亚”级攻击核潜艇，在阿加尼亚航空站驻有美军B-1B和B-2A隐形远程轰炸机，这些武器平台对中国的威胁很大，中国必须有导弹瞄准这些基地以确保战时可以分分钟予以摧毁才能放心。而东风-26的辅助功能就是反航母，因为据说东风-21D只能打击第一岛链内外的航母战斗群，如果在亚太有事时，美军航母战斗群徘徊在第二岛链内外，那么，其将鞭长莫及。于是，东风-26导弹也被赋予了反航母能力，也就是专门补充东风-21D导弹打击不到的地方，从而将美军航母战斗群对中国的威胁降到了最小。
　　韩国执意部署THAAD反导系统让中国很不舒服



　　可就在人们对东风-26的两大作战能力固化的时候，没想到，网络渠道公开了该导弹改进型最新的试验，这项试验大幅拓宽了其攻击范围。更厉害的是，中国不但公开了东风-26B的发射试验，还故意将残骸弹体上的导弹型号曝光出来，以向外界表明中国不只是光说不练的。E/ADF-26B的编号经过专家解读，可以知道东风-26不但有多弹头搭载，还可携带“电子攻击”弹头和反辐射弹头，这一实力让人很是震惊。联想到近来东北亚局势风起云涌，美军和韩国执意部署THAAD反导系统，并且毫不顾忌中国的反对声音，在其紧锣密鼓之下如今已初步运转。面对这一严峻局面，中国曾多次声明将有实质性反击手段，而之前的分析多指向中短程导弹打击和电子干扰，实际上很可能这不大有效果，因为THAAD系统的反导拦截和雷达防御能力都很强，不是那么轻易可对付的。
　　据传为东风-21D反舰弹道导弹的发射演习



　　但有了E/ADF-26B导弹就严重不一样了，因为据信这是专门为美国的诸如THAAD系统等具有反导能力的系统量身定做的。如果根据需要携带“电子攻击”弹头，那么，E/ADF-26B导弹就可以携带常规电磁脉冲弹头，在THAAD系统发起拦截行动前在预定高度爆炸，从而将其整个反导系统“软”杀伤而完全失效，随后而至的其它中短程导弹或战机就将整个THAAD系统部署地直接摧毁。而如果E/ADF-26B导弹根据需要携带的是反辐射弹头，那么其作战效能将更高，在导弹到达一定弹道点时，可以释放出一个或数个自带动力的反辐射弹头，在继续加速飞行的同时瞄准THAAD系统的雷达和其它电磁系统，最后以意想不到的精度和速度命中，从而达到一次性完全摧毁的目的。当然，E/ADF-26B导弹未来还可以攻击航母战斗群，相信这一能力也将让美军闻风丧胆。
　　美国近期进行夜间发射“民兵-3”弹道导弹向中俄示威



　　分析认为，中国此时此刻公开拥有E/ADF-26B导弹极不寻常，因为目前为了应对东北亚事态美国连发2枚“民兵-3”洲际弹道导弹，航母战斗群也在耀武扬威，而韩国总统大选即将迎来新总统，其将决定THAAD系统部署的未来，而且日本还要跟进部署更先进的反导系统，这实际上都对中国的安全构成严重挑战。如果继续喊口号，这样光动嘴皮子对美韩的作用正在丧失，而且美韩相信THAAD系统如此先进，中国所说的反击措施未必凑效。因此，中国不得不拿出新的杀手锏让大家瞧瞧了，E/ADF-26B导弹如此保密的试验被曝光，很明显是有意而为之。由此来看，随着美韩部署THAAD系统速度的加快，中国也在反制手段上毫不落后，当然中国也不只是这一种手段。相信经过试验后，中国将很快实战部署E/ADF-26B导弹，以其超过4000公里的射程来看，大部分西太平洋区域将在其有效打击范围之内。（作者署名：军评陈光文）

Putin gave USS Donald Cook a good taste of EMP attack (without a bomb) using SU-24 at Black Sea during the Crimean Wars, as a result 27 men / women / Bapok immediately applied for Discharge from US Navy Seervice once the ship got into a safe port after the attack. It became DONALD (Trump) COOKed instead of USS Donald Cook.

What spooked the USS Donald Cook so much in the Black Sea?
Voltaire Network | 8 November 2014
Español français Português ????? Deutsch italiano polski

This article was first published by Voltairenet in other languages in September 2014.

The State Department acknowledged that the crew of the destroyer USS Donald Cook has been gravely demoralized ever since their vessel was flown over in the Black Sea by a Russian Sukhoi-24 (Su-24) fighter jet which carried neither bombs nor missiles but only an electronic warfare device.


This video shows the USS Donald Cook sailing into the Black Sea to position itself near Russia’s territorial waters.

On 10 April 2014, the USS Donald Cook entered the waters of the Black Sea and on 12 April a Russian Su-24 tactical bomber flew over the vessel triggering an incident that, according to several media reports, completely demoralized its crew, so much so that the Pentagon issued a protest [1].

The USS Donald Cook (DDG-75) is a 4th generation guided missile destroyer whose key weapons are Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of up to 2,500 kilometers, and capable of carrying nuclear explosives. This ship carries 56 Tomahawk missiles in standard mode, and 96 missiles in attack mode.

The US destroyer is equipped with the most recent Aegis Combat System. It is an integrated naval weapons systems which can link together the missile defense systems of all vessels embedded within the same network, so as to ensure the detection, tracking and destruction of hundreds of targets at the same time. In addition, the USS Donald Cook is equipped with 4 large radars, whose power is comparable to that of several stations. For protection, it carries more than fifty anti-aircraft missiles of various types.

Meanwhile, the Russian Su-24 that buzzed the USS Donald Cook carried neither bombs nor missiles but only a basket mounted under the fuselage, which, according to the Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta [2], contained a Russian electronic warfare device called Khibiny.

As the Russian jet approached the US vessel, the electronic device disabled all radars, control circuits, systems, information transmission, etc. on board the US destroyer. In other words, the all-powerful Aegis system, now hooked up - or about to be - with the defense systems installed on NATO’s most modern ships was shut down, as turning off the TV set with the remote control.

The Russian Su-24 then simulated a missile attack against the USS Donald Cook, which was left literally deaf and blind. As if carrying out a training exercise, the Russian aircraft - unarmed - repeated the same maneuver 12 times before flying away.

After that, the 4th generation destroyer immediately set sail towards a port in Romania.

Since that incident, which the Atlanticist media have carefully covered up despite the widespread reactions sparked among defense industry experts, no US ship has ever approached Russian territorial waters again.

According to some specialized media, 27 sailors from the USS Donald Cook requested to be relieved from active service.

Vladimir Balybine - director of the research center on electronic warfare and the evaluation of so-called "visibility reduction" techniques attached to the Russian Air Force Academy - made the following comment:

"The more a radio-electronic system is complex, the easier it is to disable it through the use of electronic warfare."


A video presentation of the US Aegis system. Currently installed on the most sophisticated US Navy warships and in the process of being set up throughout the entire range of NATO naval forces, this missile defense system was completely knocked out in the Black Sea by a Russian electronic warfare device.

AEGIS Fail in Black SEA, Ruskies Burn Down USS Donald “Duck”

By GPD on November 13, 2014
Is this why Keshe Was Poisoned?

Russian Su -24 scores off against the American "USS Donald Cook"

Photo: RIA Novosti

[Editorial note: We are told the story is a month old. If any of this is true, then this is a huge issue, not just the lack of follow up but the lack of follow up itself.

For those of you who have never heard of a magrav, and that includes the scientific community, an Iranian scientist with very unconventional views, is being credited with supplying the technology that did what some day could not be done. We interviewed him about this assertion.

Adamus had met with Keshe and the head of our energy program, Jim Hanke along with Mike Harris, has been investigating. I talk with the guy, he is not unreasonable but then again, I am a simple blogger and not a rocket scientist although I do employ rocket scientists or, more appropriately, work “with” them.

There is much more we can write here but suffice it to say that Keshe and his wife were poisoned. Seemingly he has the technology to overcome even that. We do know governments have banned him but are also secretly examining everything he works on. Some of the defense implications projects he has made “open source” were perhaps unseen by him, not by me… Gordon Duff ]

____________

Russian Sukhoi Su -24 with the newest jamming complex paralyzed in the Black Sea the most modern American combat management system “Aegis” installed on the destroyer “USS Donald Cook”. Pavel Zolotarev, Deputy Director, Institute of USA and Canada, shares details about this version which is being actively discussed in the Russian media and by bloggers.

US destroyer “Donald Cook” with cruise missiles “Tomahawk” entered the neutral waters of the Black Sea on April 10. The purpose was a demonstration of force and intimidation in connection with the position of Russia in Ukraine and Crimea. The appearance of American warships in these waters is in contradiction of the Montreux Convention about the nature and duration of stay in the Black Sea by the military ships of countries not washed by this sea.

In response, Russia sent an unarmed bomber Su- 24 to fly around the U.S. destroyer. However, experts say that this plane was equipped with the latest Russian electronic warfare complex. According to this version, “Aegis” spotted from afar the approaching aircraft, and sounded alarm. Everything went normally, American radars calculated the speed of the approaching target. And suddenly all the screens went blank. “Aegis” was not working any more, and the rockets could not get target information. Meanwhile, Su-24 flew over the deck of the destroyer, did battle turn and simulated missile attack on the target. Then it turned and repeated the maneuver. And did so 12 times.

Apparently, all efforts to revive the “Aegis” and provide target information for the defence failed. Russia’s reaction to military pressure from the United States was profoundly calm, feels the Russian political scientist Pavel Zolotarev:

The demonstration was original enough. A bomber without any weapons, but having onboard equipment for jamming enemy radar, worked against a destroyer equipped with “Aegis”, the most modern system of air and missile defence. But this system of mobile location, in this case the ship, has a significant drawback. That is, the target tracking capabilities.

They work well when there is a number of these ships which can coordinate with each other somehow. In this case there was just one destroyer. And, apparently, the algorithm of the radar in the “Aegis” system on the destroyer did not load under the influence of jamming by the Su-24. It was therefore not only a nervous reaction to the fact of flying around by the Russin bomber which was common practice during the Cold War.

The reaction of the Americans was due to the fact that most modern system, especially its informative or radar part, did not work adequately. Therefore, there was such a nervous reaction to the whole episode.

After the incident, the foreign media reported that “Donald Cook” was rushed into a port in Romania. There all the 27 members of the crew filed a letter of resignation. It seems that all 27 people have written that they are not going to risk their lives. This is indirectly confirmed by the Pentagon statement according to which the action demoralized the crew of the American ship.

What are the possible consequences of the incident provoked by the U.S. in the Black Sea? Pavel Zolotarev forecasts:

I think that Americans are somehow going to reflect on improving the system “Aegis”. This is a purely military aspect. In political terms, there is hardly any likelihood of demonstrative steps by either side. That is enough. Meanwhile, for Americans it is a very unpleasant moment. In general, the missile defence system which they deploy involves huge expenditures.

They have to prove each time that it is necessary to allocate funds from the budget. At the same time, the ground component of the ABM was tested in ideal conditions and showed a low efficiency. This fact is concealed by the Pentagon. The most modern component, the sea-based system “Aegis” also showed its shortcomings in the present case.

The system with which the Russian Su-24 shocked the American destroyer “Donald Cook” has the code name “Khibiny”. This is the name of the mountain range on the Kola Peninsula in the Arctic Circle. “Khibiny” is the newest complex for radioelectronic jamming of the enemy. They will be installed on all the advanced Russian planes .

Recently the complex has undergone regular testing exercises on the ground in Buryatia. Apparently, the tests which were conducted under conditions as close to real as possible, were successful.

The USS Donald Cook meets Sukhoi SU 24
By Renee Parsons

As the US-led NATO accelerates its efforts to tighten the arc around Russia with the most recent declaration out of its two-day Warsaw summit, it seems apparent that the goal of the military escalation and preparation for war with Russia over the last two years will be adequately in place by Hillary Clinton's inauguration.

As we already know from her unwavering support of Israel and the Iraq war, skeptical support for President Obama's Iran nuclear deal, a noticeable predilection toward Russo-phobian 'aggression" (aka as protecting one's own borders), the brutal destruction of the Ukraine, Libya and Syria and other ill-conceived military misadventures, the woman's testosterone level is dangerously elevated.

To suggest that President Clinton II will surpass the current President's support for armed conflict, despite his occasional reluctant warrior image while spreading more bombing, violence and chaos than his predecessor, is probably a safe bet. Although in general, President Obama presents a considerably smoother façade and is more verbally facile than Mrs. Clinton especially when he rationalizes war, more war and war again to his gullible liberal base. Mrs. Clinton, by contrast, carries a personal edge in her manner and expression, a marked lack of expressing sincere compassion; there is little warm and snuggly about the new grandmother.

In any case, during Obama's recent press conference in Warsaw he began by distracting the audience from NATO's reinvigorated commitment to war with Russia by comments that attempted to neuter recent police violence against an unarmed black population with the US "is not as divided as some have suggested" and then, just as smoothly moved on to make the case for war in eastern Europe. Can it be that officials of those Baltic countries neighboring Russia fail to grasp the reality that their citizens will be in the direct line of fire.

History may ultimately show that any difference between Obama's and Clinton's militarist credentials may depend more on rhetoric and style rather than substance.

Central to the American-instigated military build up in eastern Europe is an assortment of formidable US guided missile destroyers including the USS Donald Cook which has been cruising in both the Baltic (2016) and the Black (2014) Seas and has, more than once, drawn the attention of a Russian SU-24 fighter jet. No doubt the Obama - Clinton team would define such encounters as "mounting Russian aggression" although, with the Cook and other Sixth Fleet destroyers thousands of miles from its US home base, it might be more accurately described as intentional violation of international sovereignty.

Commissioned in 1998 and upgraded in 2012 for an undetermined cost in order to function as part of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System, we can assume that the Cook's mission in the Black Sea as it trolled the edges of Russian territorial water was considerably more than seeking a friendly port to provide its crew with a weekend pass.

In April, 2014, the Cook was deployed to the Black Sea to 'reassure its NATO allies of the US commitment" shortly after the overthrow of Ukraine's democratically elected President with key guidance from Victoria Nuland, Assistant Secretary of State (rumored soon-to-be Hillary's Secretary of State) and the subsequent annexation vote to return the Crimean Peninsula including Sebastopol. Sevastopol is a strategically important port and naval base for Russia's Black Sea Fleet (BSF) as is Kaliningrad, home port to the Russian Baltic Sea Fleet.

Equipped with long range surface-to-surface Tomahawk cruise missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, assorted surface-to-air missiles and antiballistic missiles, one of the world's most advanced underwater surveillance systems as well as AEGIS, one of the world's most advanced naval weapon systems touted by the Pentagon as a "computerized, quick reaction air and ballistic missile defense system, provides extraordinary capabilities against attacking aircraft and missiles. The heart of the Aegis system is the SPY radar that automatically detects and tracks virtually everything in the air allowing DONALD COOK to identify, evaluate, and engage the enemy with incredible firepower and accuracy," any reasonable person might ask why a fourth-generation $1.8 billion (not including costs for its various weapon systems) fully loaded destroyer would be touring the Black Sea other than to taunt the Russians.

As the US warship approached the Crimean peninsula skirting Russian waters, an unarmed Sukhoi SU-24 fighter jet, carrying only electronic gear, made several 'close passes' to the Cook and ultimately simulated numerous offensive maneuvers; thereby, according to the US State Department, 'gravely demoralizing' the Cook's crew.

That's an interesting use of the word 'demoralize' and we can only surmise that the Russian fly-by perhaps caused a near-panic situation on-board as the enlisted crew may have been less than enthusiastic to participate in a potential nuclear exchange with Russia. Smart lads they are and good reason for the Pentagon to ponder.

As it turns out what may have been 'demoralizing'to the crew was that as the Russian jet approached the Cook, which was narrowly close to Sevastopol, the ship's much-vaunted AEGIS system was entirely shut down rendering the Cook's entire communication system useless, its radar based weapons jammed and its anti-air missile function disrupted. With the crew unable to restart AEGIS, we might better understand why there might have been some consternation on-board the Cook.

Few western media covered the story, most dutifully denying any such neutering of AEGIS had occurred and that if the SU-24 was carrying any electronic warfare (EW) equipment known as Khibiny, it would have been visible on the jet's wing tip where it would normally be found on similar Russian jets. A Khibiny is a mounted EW capsule, considered the most advanced in the world and since there was no observable Khibiny located on the wing dip, such a report of a muted AEGIS must be erroneous. What was not mentioned however was that the video of the jet 'buzzing' the Cook clearly indicates a pod mounted on the center line of the Russian SU-24 as well as a basket under the fuselage - either could be a Khibiny pod.

While the Pentagon did not directly refute the AEGIS failure, the mention of a "demoralizing" crew becomes more understandable with reports that, after AEGIS ceased to function, the SU-24 flew over the Cook's deck repeatedly while simulating an offensive attack on the ship. Once in port, as is reasonable to expect that young sailors freaked out, sufficiently so that 27 of the 270 member crew allegedly requested reassignment papers after the incident. While an enlisted crew cannot simply walk away from its position, the story nevertheless lends some credibility to the AEGIS malfunction.

Al Jazeera's news report that the Pentagon fired off an 'angry response' with accusations of Russia's "provocative and unprofessional action" .... "inconsistent with international protocols and previous agreements" smacks of nothing short of an appalling hypocritical double-standard.

Two years later, on April 12th, 2016, you may have read that the USS Donald Cook, was buzzed a second time by another unarmed Sukhoi Su-24 this time while on patrol in the Baltic Sea.

What you probably did not read was that the Cook, on 'routine patrol' in support of "US national security interests' was approximately 50 miles off the coast of Kaliningrad and home to the Russian Baltic Sea Fleet. The US formally issued a protest to Russia.

US Secretary of State John Kerry added a statement that said "under the rules of engagement, that (Russian jet) could have been a shoot-down" adding that the "US is not going to be intimidated on the high seas."

After the Cook's encounter in 2016, a U.S. European Command spokesman affirmed that under rules of engagement, the Commanding Officer has the authority to take defensive action if the safety of their vessel is in danger and that since the aircraft was unarmed, there is nothing to be done.

We can only imagine the national uproar, the media hysteria, the pandemonium on the floor of Congress, the terror of American citizens if a Russian warship in the Atlantic Ocean dared to approach the territorial waters close to the Norfolk Naval Yard.

Instead, the US repeatedly acts as if it has the right to flaunt the sovereignty of another country unchallenged as if that right is inherent in the US Constitution or the International Rule of Law. It is not.
