The Russian Federation has developed anti -water MAS: what is known about the complexes "Hermes" and "Vector"
"The PPZRK has not been tested in the area. Internal trials are ongoing now. I think, in the next couple of months, by the end of the year, combat trials will already begin," the Russian agency's interlocutor said. In this regard, the Defense Express observers noted that Hermes is classified as an anti -watered portable anti -aircraft missile complex, while declaring the weapon use options against helicopters. According to available information, the mass of the complex is 1.
2 kg, the range of capture of the goals is 500 m, and as a charge is used grenade launcher shot by POEC-25. In addition to Hermes, other initiative development was presented in Russia-the vector of the vector CFV-management. Previously, open sources showed tests of tests of this PSPRC.
Analysts point out that both complexes may have different purpose on the battlefield - the product from the Kaisant, according to them, is foreseen for the fight against intelligence drones, and the development of a "vector" - to counteract a long -range impact UAV.
Nothing is known about the effectiveness of these decisions, however, Russian observers write that complexes are essential to soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the forefront for the fight against UAV, especially since there are no problems with the ammunition of the GOP-25 in the Russian military. Earlier, Defense Express said that the vector anti -aircraft complex is a sample "made by students in six months".
