Report: China Has Tested A Nuke That Can Dodge American Radars
Thus a FOBS is a kind of strategic remedy to ABM systems. And a daring one, at that. “Wow!” Hans Kristensen, a nuclear expert with the Federation of American Scientists in Washington, D.C., said of the Chinese. “They’re trying it all.”
The reporters claimed the test “caught U.S. intelligence by surprise.” In fact, U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall in September warned that China might develop a FOBS. Safeguard included two types of nuclear-armed missile-interceptors cued, in succession, by satellites with infrared sensors then north-looking strategic radars and finally a pair of shorter-range radars.
In 1975, the U.S. Congress voted to dismantle what was left of Safeguard. Eight years later, following the signing of the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks 2 agreement, Moscow withdrew its FOBS. The U.S. mostly deploys its ABM systems in Alaska and Eastern Europe in order to intercept Iranian and North Korean rockets. But the same systems, redeployed to different locations, couldreduce the effectiveness of the Russian and Chinese nuclear arsenals as deterrents to America’s own nukes.
