The Mig-31I fighters from the CCS of Russia with the Dagan missiles were deployed. These exercises indicate that Russia strengthens its military potential and role, which is given to the PCS with aerobalist missiles. The dagger rocket is an aerobalistic weapon of air base. Develops speeds up to 10 strokes and performs maneuvers in flight. The stated range is about 2000 km.
The placement of this missile on the MiG-31I aircraft allows the Russian Federation to produce force in key regions, including the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea, the authors of the publication say. MiG-31I is a specialized version of the MiG-31 interceptor, adapted for transportation of hypersonic missiles such as "dagger".
Compared to the original MIG-31, which was developed primarily for the interception of enemy aircraft at high altitude, MiG-31 and optimized for transportation and launch of large useful loads. The fighter develops a speed of 2. 8 Mach and also wins from advanced avionics and missile integration systems adapted to the operational requirements of hypersonic missile deployment. The prompt integration of MiG-31I and Dita missiles is a continuation of Russia's missile strategy, the newspaper notes.
The Russian Armed Forces also operate another launch system in a limited volume - GPKR (hypersonic managed aviation missile). Although the GZKR is less advertised than the "dagger", it is intended for tactical tasks and can be deployed from multi -purpose fighters, which expands the operational flexibility of the hypersonic arsenal of Russia.
Together, these two systems-X-47M2 "dagger" and GZKR-form the basis of rocket capabilities of the PCS of the Russian Federation, which are launched from the air. The spread of weapons such as "dagger" and GZKR has increased the global pursuit of weapons. Russia develops its capabilities, and other countries, including the US and China, accelerate the development of its own hypersonic systems.
