From the Russian-Ukrainian front came news that the Ukrainian military did a major thing, they destroyed the Russian military version of the "Red Shore" base, which will have a very profound impact on the future actions of the Russian military.
In the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, both sides have actually used drones, on each other's deep targets many rounds, many times strikes, and also achieved a lot of the history of the battle. For example, the Ukrainian army, before the drone, on the Russian strategic air force those valuable strategic bombers strike.
Recently, the Ukrainian army once again used drones to launch an attack on a key strategic facility of the Russian army, which is a large radio telescope base of the Russian army on the Crimean Peninsula. This radio telescope is not simple. It is the RT-70 radio telescope, which is part of the deep space exploration network built in the former Soviet Union. Since Russia occupied the Crimean Peninsula in 2014, the Russian military has continuously upgraded and upgraded it, using it to support Russia-related space and space research, and to improve the positioning accuracy of the GLONASS satellite constellation.
This radio telescope, because of its large caliber, the diameter of the antenna reached 70 meters, the entire rotation part weighs several thousand tons, especially as our Chinese netizens are familiar with Liu Fichin's "Three" novel, so it is also known by Chinese netizens as the Russian version of the Red Shore base.
This time, the Ukrainian side, after close reconnaissance, used a drone to precisely hit the electronic part of the radio telescope. From the current situation, this radio telescope, which has 50 years of history, and its core part, that is, the 200 kilowatt radio transmission receiver, is likely to have suffered serious damage. This receiver, actually specially customized production by the Russian side, currently wants to re-produce it, the entire cycle is very long. This means that this 50-year-old radio telescope is likely to be long-term paralysed.
After the Russian occupation of the telescope, in addition to supporting the deep space detection network, more importantly, it provided support in accuracy to the Russian Glonass satellite. According to the analysis, the accuracy could be increased by more than 30%. This means that if the Glonass satellite constellation left the support of such radio telescopes, there could be a significant decline in the future in terms of accuracy, including the positioning of the battlefield, and so on.
We all know that on the Russian Ukrainian battlefield, the Russian side is currently using satellite-guided means, and a variety of combat weapons are being used, including drones, flying guided bombs, and even high-speed hypersonic missiles. If the guidance accuracy of the Glonass falls, it will inevitably have a serious impact on these weapons to strike precision.
So now, if Russia wants to quickly repair the telescope, it may have to remove some of the parts that can be used from other telescopes for repair, but this will inevitably affect the efficiency and capabilities of the entire Russian aerospace telescope.
Of course, this is not the first time in the Russian conflict that such a large astronomical facility has been damaged. In fact, during the occupation of Kharkov, the Russian side damaged the Ukrainian radio telescope facilities, especially the idol radio antenna lines, and even made a breakout, in order to prevent the Ukrainian army from recovering the lost land, to restore the ability to use these telescopes.
After all, these large-scale radio telescope facilities, in peacetime, are the possible pipeline for our connection with alien civilizations; and, of course, in wartime, they are the key means of supporting military satellite networks.
For me personally, this time the RT-70 telescope was damaged by the attack was actually a very regrettable thing. The RT-70 on the Crimean peninsula did a very famous thing that year.
Just around 2000, it sent our information packets to many potentially habitable planets outside the solar system. Of course, most of this information is still on its way to its destination, because it is more than twenty light years away. Unfortunately, this telescope didn't wait until the day when he sent a message and received a reply, and it was destroyed.
In the future, we also hope that such tragedies will not happen again.The destruction caused by the war is indeed too great, and it has caused irreparable losses both for the exploration of human civilization and for the hope of peace.
