B2 bunker in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, Namju (Situation room of the Armed Forces Joint Command Control Center).

Chairman of the Joint Staff Shin Sung-yong arrived at the Joint Command Control Center’s operation room a few minutes ago and immediately received reports on MIMRA (Missile Interception and Massive Retaliation Attacks) from the head of the anti-nuclear force response headquarters.

“From now on, I will report the preparations for MIMRA according to the Russian nuclear power. First, please look at screen number three.”

All eyes in all operation rooms were focused on screen 3 as Lieutenant General Oh Jong-won, the head of the anti-nuclear force response headquarters, spoke. Screen 3 displayed a digital map of Russia, with blue circular symbols blinking in several locations east of Siberia.

“As you can see on the screen, four Zeus strategic interception satellites are currently on standby for interception and retaliatory attacks on the origin in geostationary orbit on the eastern end of Siberia. Furthermore, 32 three-legged five space fighters dispatched from the first and second Space Combat Wings are in flight throughout Russia for intercept and retaliation attacks in the thermosphere layer of the atmosphere.”

Following Lieutenant General Oh Jong-won’s explanation, blue triangular symbols appeared one by one on the digital map of screen 3.

.

“Also, all preparations for intercepting enemy nuclear missiles from very high altitudes are on standby at the CS-LD Hades Base, which consists of eight ground defense satellites built in South, North, and Central Manchuria. Besides, the final stage of the CAMD system, the high-altitude interception procedure using naval power, is also on standby. Two Hocula cruisers, eight Hocula destroyers, and four Aegis destroyers will take part, all of which were launched on the 19th. Furthermore, the Air Force and Strategic Missile Forces have prepared approximately 500 surface-to-air missiles capable of intercepting targets at high to medium altitudes.”

The digital map on the screen expanded so that only the East Asian part appeared to fill the screen, and a new color symbol flashed.

Following the first Northeast Asian War, the unified Republic of Korea established the MIMRA system, which integrated the Korean three-axis system (3K: Kill Chain, KAMD, KMPR), which had been in use since the days of North and South Korea. In other words, MIMRA was an integrated system that carried out pre-emptive strikes before launching a missile, then intercepted the missile and carried out a large-scale retaliatory attack at the same time.

* Kill Chain: Preemptive strike in the original area

* Korea Air and Missile Defense (CAMD): Korean-style missile defense system

* Korea Massive Punishment and Retaliation (KMPR): massive retaliatory attacks.

* Intercept and Massive Retaliation Attack After Preemptive Attack (IMRAPA): Interception and massive retaliatory attacks after preemptive attacks.

Thanks to an increase in the number of strategic interceptor satellites and three-legged five space fighters, it was possible not only to launch a preemptive attack, but also to intercept missiles and launch large-scale retaliatory attacks at the same time, as opposed to two years ago.

“Let me briefly explain the Russian nuclear submarine, which might be one of the variables.”

Currently, all submarines belonging to the Far East Fleet have disappeared from naval warfare in the Northeast Sea. In response, the Navy dispatched the 7th Fleet’s Hogula destroyer, various maritime patrol aircraft, and even Hocula submarines and CH-SH Ares patrol satellites to scour the Northeast Sea area, detecting and attacking five Kilo-class submarines.

Submarines of the Far East Fleet operating in the depths of the Northeast Sea, aside from other fleets, include four Borei-class 955A III SSBNs and two Delta-class IIIs, which operate intercontinental ballistic missiles using vertical launch tubes, and supersonic submarines equipped with high explosives or nuclear warheads from vertical launch tubes. These included three Antei-class SSGNs capable of launching anti-ship missiles, three nuclear-powered submarines Shuka B/Bas-class I SSNs that launch various cruise missiles through torpedo tubes, and six Kilo-class SSK conventional submarines. Among these, the most vulnerable submarines were four Borei-class 955A III ballistic missile-firing submarines and one Delta-class III.

The Borei-class 955A III is armed with as many as 20 R-30 (RSM-56) Bulava nuclear missiles equipped with 10 150Kt re-entry warheads (MIRVs) with a range of 15,000 kilometers, while the Delta-Class III has a range of 11,500 kilometers and a 100Kt class. It was a strategic nuclear submarine armed with 16 R-29RUM Sineva (NATO name: SS-N-23 Skiff) nuclear missiles equipped with 10 re-entry warheads (MIRV).

“The most dangerous submarines are SSBN-5. Because we haven’t been able to identify their exact location, Ares 3 is on an all-around patrol mission in the East Sea, and Zeus 7 is on standby in case of an emergency.”

When only the key parts were clarified, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Shin Sung-yong, asked an additional question.

“If Russia’s SSBN-class Hamjam launches a nuclear missile underwater, will our Kill Chain be able to correspond to that?”

“Yes. It could. If the SSBN-class nuclear submarine is within range of our Aegis or Hocula destroyers’ Hong Shark A, or within range of the Hocula cruiser’s S-SSFM-500B Trident, we will launch an immediate counterattack.”

“That, I believe, will be enough. Great job. My question appears to be a waste of your time. Let’s wrap up the briefing and get started on the preemptive strike.”

“Yes.”

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Shin Sung-yong finished the briefing with a light clap, stood up from his seat, and approached the second screen, which would depict the situation of a preemptive strike. Then, Lieutenant General Oh Jong-won, who had just finished briefing, stood in the main center of the operation room, put on a mini headset, and shouted confidently.

“From now on, we will proceed with the preemptive strike against the nuclear power provocation. Are all the control rooms of the aerospace forces involved in this mission connected to the space combat wing’s information room?”

When the command was issued via the headset, the controllers in charge of the Zeus Strategic Interceptor Satellite responded by displaying their faces on the screen divided into the video communication screen. In addition, the two heads of the operation command room of the two space combat wings appeared on the screen and responded.

“Okay! In the next three minutes, we will launch the preemptive attack on the pre-allocated hitting point. Finally, check the location and specifications of the hitting point! Start the countdown.”

Coincidentally, the preemptive strike time in South Korea was 5:55 a.m. and the time of Russia’s nuclear missile attack was 6 a.m. Korean time.

After the three minutes had passed, A12 CFS/A-31SP three legged space fighters, which had been flying at a low altitude to the stratosphere, dropped one X-2 (plasma multiple round bomb) missile, a derivative of the X-1 (plasma amplified bomb), toward the point where they would hit.

Usually, two X-1 (Plasma Amplified bombs) could be mounted in the internal armed room of the CFS/A-31SP three-legged Space Fighter. However, the derivative X-2 (plasma multiple round bomb) was 1.5 times larger in diameter than X-1. Therefore, only one unit could be mounted in the internal armed room.

In the same way as the cluster bomb, the X-2 (plasma multiple round bomb) was loaded with eight 100Kt class plasma rounds inside the bomb. In addition, in order to increase its fall speed, a powerful plasma jet propulsion system was mounted at the rear to achieve a speed of up to Mach 20. For example, if it launched from an altitude of 50 kilometers, it would reach the ground within nine seconds.

The X-2 (plasma multiple bomb) launched from Unit One of Alpha Squadron of the first Space Fighter Wing on a sortie from Seongnam Base fell to the ground as soon as the propellant exploded with tremendous acceleration. The target of was the 23rd Strategic Missile Division, the first to be reconnoitered by a foreign reconnaissance agency.

The six missile regiments were stationed in a circular formation 5 kilometers apart in the plains of Kansk’s southern tip. The division headquarters and various units directly under direct control were located in the center of the circle.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~

The X-2 (plasma multiple bomb), which was falling at a terrifying speed of Mach 25, split and opened, and when the front fairing was opened, the eight sub-munitions loaded inside were separated while maintaining the speed of the falling acceleration and hitting each set point accurately.

The 100Kt-level submunitions hit six missile regiments, and the other two hit the division headquarters and units under direct control in the center.

Seven massive explosions occurred at the same time, as if a sunflower in full bloom had met the sun, and a massive mushroom cloud soared high into the sky. Consequently, the dark, which had been deeply laid at dawn, vanished for a brief moment, and the light that shone brighter than daylight spread. These weren’t just any bright lights. It was accompanied by heat radiation reaching 5,000 degrees. Everything was burned to two kilometers radius from the depth of the bomb and evaporated in an instant.

Everything were burnt in an instant. And as if that wasn’t enough, it even sucked all the surroundings. As a result, mobile launch vehicles and various armored vehicles, which were far from the depth of the bomb, were absorbed into also.

Cak! Cak! Cak! Cak! Cracky! Quang!

The ground shook as if a major earthquake had occurred near ten degrees Celsius in the midst of a massive fire. A dark red flame wriggled through the gap.

The area where the 23rd Strategic Missile Division was located has turned into a place where hell’s flames dance, and they are unlikely to be inhibited even after thousands of years.

hwa ro ro ~ Quang!

The 23rd Strategic Missile Division was destroyed by one X-2 (plasma multiple bomb). More accurately, it evaporated cleanly without any trace. The power of 100Kt was truly great.

In addition, there were more six places across Russia that faced the same fate as the 23rd Strategic Missile Division. They were the 14th and the 7th Rocket Division that operate RT-2PM Topul (NATO Name: SS-25 Sickle) missiles.

And there were four divisions in which the launch platform was silo-fixed. The 28th Royal Rocket Division, which operates 29 UR-100NUTH (Nato name: SS-19 Stileto) at Koselsk Air Base, has 50 UR-100NUTH (Nato name: SS-19 Stiletto) and 52 UR-2UTKh Topol-M, boasting the largest air force among other rocket divisions.

Due to the preemptive strike of the aerospace force, the Russian strategic rocket force suffered a huge loss of 35% of its nuclear power. 255 nuclear missiles, which cost millions to tens of millions of dollars each, exploded without even being launched.
