The Armed Forces could get Amraam-ER for NASAMS SCRs: what is their range (video)

In "militaristic" stated that it is not possible to identify the system uniquely because of relatively low quality of video, but its characteristic contours with "thickening" from the wings in the middle of the fuselage correspond to the forms of a long -range missile. The Amraam-Ear long-range Raytheon was developed by the NASAMS SPRs based on RIM-162 Evolved Seasparrow Missile Ship Missile.

During 2021-2022, Raytheon and Kongsberg were tested by a rocket that ended with qualifying shooting and confirmation of the stated characteristics. In this way, Amraam-Er repeats RIM-162 ESSM. In particular, they have the same solid fuel rocket engine and a fighting part of 39 kilograms, 19 kilograms more than the same in AIM-120C7 Amraam. The new rocket also has an active radar head and management system.

According to open data, Amraam-Ear long-range missiles can use NASAMS III PCP launchers and upgraded NASAMS II versions. Currently, Ukraine has two NASAMS II SPR batteries. The maximum range of lesions when launching from the ground launcher is 40 kilometers. While Kongsberg representatives noted that the AMraam-ER range increased by 50% compared to the AIM-20C7 base missile, while the height is 70%.

In particular, the maximum nasams firing range using AIM-120C AMraam is 25 kilometers and reaching in height is 14-15 kilometers. "After the integration of a new rocket by the characteristics of the range and height of NASAMS, the level of anti-aircraft missile systems of medium range, such as Russian Buk-M2" or German Iris-T SLM, "said the message. We will remind, on August 4 Lithuania announced a new package of military support of the Armed Forces.
