The Russian Federation beats modified "sparks": Do Patrioot of Ukraine know how to knock down improved missiles (video)

The Russians change the possibilities of Iskander missiles from the first months of the war, when the strikes in Kharkiv and other settlements of Ukraine began, said the military observer of "Militar" Vadim Kushnikov on the air of the TV channel "Kiev 24". At the same time, the Russian Federation uses the experience gained during the shelling of Ukrainians: both "Iskander-M" and "daggers" are modified.

Kushnikov added that in the United States monitor the improvement of the ballistic goals of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Among the changes made by the Russians in "Iskanders" are the possibility of maneuvering at the time of the event on the target (terminal stage of flight) and the presence of false goals 9B-899. The main purpose of such changes is to "reduce the chance of successful interception".

However, the observer emphasized that the Patriot, which is included in the air defense system of Ukraine, is also modified taking into account the experience of Russian blows (does not specify what the improvement was to mean). "Patriot, which we have in service, they also receive improvements.

The experience that our military and air defense units have, is very carefully studied by the US side, including the developer company in order to implement improvement and allow these complexes to be replaced by these complexes. Ballistic missiles, "Kushnikov said. Patriot SACs are anti-aircraft missile complexes produced by the American corporation Raytheon. PAC-3/PAC-3 MSE interceptors are manufactured by the company manufactured by Lockheed Martin.

On September 29, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced the receipt of the Patriot complex from Israel and that two more systems are expected in the fall of 2025. It should be noted that on September 2, the Financial Times reported that Russian Ballistic missiles "Iskander-M" and "dagger" were modified and now they are worse than Patriot. This explains the sixfold decrease in the efficiency of air defense on these means of defeat: in August, 37%were efficiency, 6%in September.

As early as 2024, Focus wrote about the modernization of the Iskander rocket, which was known after the analysis of debris. Experts have found that the lesion tool received a device for protecting navigation signals from interference, similar to the digital modules "Comet" designed for satellite navigation. It is noted that the device was installed in the tail part instead of a container for false purposes, which was usually located there.

Meanwhile, on the night of October 3, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation fired at Ukraine 416 by means of air damage, and among them there were seven ballistic missiles "Iskander-M/KN-23", the air command reported. The report does not indicate the beating of these missiles, but there is a successful work on the winged "Iskander-K" (knocked down 12 out of 21).
