Storm Shadow is a horror for the enemy. Three properties of the British rocket that received the Armed Forces

Konstantin Mashovets, Coordinator of the Information Resistance Group, appreciated the ability of the Russian Federation to defend himself from Storm Shadow rocket. The French-British wing of the SCalp-EG KRPB rocket, it is the Storm Shadow (British name), at first glance seems typical of a permitting rocket wing, which is not a particularly complex goal for the Russian air defense system. Moreover, it is not so much that according to a number of experts, even "it is possible to knock it down".

Indeed, the speed of flight is not so "exclusive", about 800 km \ g, it is not small in itself-more than 5 m long and has a wingspan-up to 3 m, weighs more than a ton. Why, not knock it down? Running can be confused . . . But as always, there are nuances. The word "inconspicuous" is quite in vain in its title at the forefront.

For the vast majority of air defense products, which form the basis of the relevant HA air defense system (SPS family C-300), "effective cover" at a more or less acceptable distance from the cover object (from 20 to 40-47 km) begins with height 50- 60 m, even when using NVB type 76H6, in particular with a tower, and a staff radar of the type 36 \ 35d6, or 96l6E or even 9C15mt, 9m19m2. While the "working height" of the flight of this KDB is 30-40 (with a certain mode, in recent modifications . . .

maybe even 15). That is, the entire "line" of the C-300-type SPS in confrontation with this KCPB is able to be effectively applied exclusively in "unstable" opposition mode under the general name "drink Borgoma, the cogd of the hums. " And so, you are right, it is the same "steepness of the earth", which, at one time, was fired by the representatives of the Russian Federation in Syria.

That is, the radar systems of their WRS and SPR by modern standards - "short -sighted", because of the same "steepness" lacking at the required heights of the radio cutter. That is, they are able to detect winged rockets of this type (and the latest modifications of American "tomahawki" are just as capable of approaching the target at extremely low altitudes) only at the minimum permissible distances for their combat reaction.

Means, Ztiba Zakra 2C6 "Tunguska", ZRGK "Armond-C1", ZRK "Thor-M1", or even SPR "Buk-M1 \ 2", not to mention the "notorious" MANA Arrow-10m ", become effective against these PCP (m) B only with the external CU, which has been admitted in advance. Moreover, it is good in advance (it is also true for C-300, C-400). That is, they should be clearly "knowing in advance, which sector will appear from this grin," .

Moreover, it can appear in any direction (why, I will tell you below) "Here is something and aha . . . ". This is a very "silent" rocket. In the process of its flight and aiming at the target, it does not radiate no radio signals and requests in the outside (as in the vast majority of systems of guidance such missiles), its guidance system is autonomous. That is, it is extremely difficult for radio technical intelligence (RTR) (Hi Kolchuga-M ").

And yes, you are right-it belongs to the class of missiles, which are denoted by the phrase "shot-fading". The only time it comes out "aired" is the moment almost hitting the target - when it transmits a short video signal (picture) at a predetermined frequency before the target is distributed. Well, type, report - "I flew and now".

In other words, this "intelligent" during her flight is given to the target by self -"reconciliation" in the "online" mode of her real place of residence with the data already predetermined in her "brain", that is, she does not need any control signals from the outside. This system is duplicated by GPS, but also exclusively in passive mode.

You can not stop the "decor of the REB-OM", but this smart air torpedo will not stop it, it knows in advance "knows" how best to fly to the target (including bypassing the location and positions of the enemy air defense systems) and no obstacles It will not be stopped in the electromagnetic range. The rocket was made using the so -called stealth technology. That is, its "selective" signal in the radar range is minimized to "extremely critical" for the Russian air defense system.

In other words, for radars of the Russian Air Defense system, it is an inconspicuous goal that they are able to detect exclusively at "limit" distances. Even given the fact that the processes of combat work in these systems are almost completely automated. This has a significant impact on the quality and speed of the relevant target (CV) for active means of damage.

Which, in particular, can not but affect the speed of such an important indicator as the "time of combat reaction" of a particular means of defeating the enemy's air defense system. In other words, they will "work out" on this rocket (if they have time) in an exceptionally short (almost instant) period of time before it is granted on some "well-protected" target, a "recessed" KP of the 58th Russian Army . . .

for What, by the way, it has a special combat part (bch) in the form of 2 degrees explosive elements-the first, undermining, "removes" external protection, the second-directly affects the target. Of course, this rocket is not a panacea, to intercept and knock it down. In particular, with the MANAs or appropriate aviation agents (and even "on the background of the craft surface"), the corresponding means of the Russians. The matter is another.
