United States will learn to destroy Russian tanks by “thousands”

The Pentagon plans to learn how to destroy Russian tanks and Chinese ships “in the thousands,” Forbes writes, citing materials from the presentation of the US Deputy Defense Secretary for Research and Development, Terence Emmert.

According to the publication of the American magazine, the corresponding project Assault Breaker II involves the development of technologies that will simultaneously eliminate many enemy strike forces. “If we do this right, we won’t need Assault Breaker III,” Emmert said.

The publication reminds that the name of the project dates back to the times of the Cold War, when work was carried out within the framework of Assault Breaker I, involving the search for ways to destroy thousands of Soviet tanks breaking through from east to west across the borders of NATO countries. Then, for the implementation of such a project, it was proposed to use, in particular, an extensive network of radars, attack aircraft and ground attack missile weapons.

The magazine admits that new development may build on old ideas.

In March, The Drive reported that US Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyers based in Spain have AN / SLQ-62 Transportable Electronic Warfare Module-Speed ​​To Fleet (TEWM-STF) capable of ” kill “Russian P-800 Onyx anti-ship missiles.
