Russia can do nothing. What opportunities for Ukraine open anti -radar missiles - Zhdanov

Military expert Oleg Zhdanov told Radio NV about the opportunities that open anti -radar missiles for Ukraine. In an interview with Radio NV, Zhdanov noted that AGM-88 HARM missiles, which, according to the media, Pentagon transferred to Ukraine-are state-of-the-art rockets that were adopted in 1983, but their start-up range grew up with modernization and modernization and Today it reaches 150 kilometers. “They are air base, that is, they can be used by fighters.

The peculiarity of this rocket is that it is designed to destroy the radar systems of air defense systems. Moreover, it can distinguish between both working stations and those that are disconnected. If the pilot saw that the air defense system is operating, the rocket and launches it. It then automatically finds the target and destroys it, ”the military expert explained. He emphasized that without a radar station, the starting installation of the C-300 or C-400 "nothing is worth".

Zhdanov added that when it comes to comprehensive air defense shell C1 or Thor, then the starting part is destroyed by such a rocket together with the radar station. When asked if the Russians can do something so that Ukraine does not destroy their air defense missiles or radar stations, the military expert answered negatively. “Nothing can do. The fact is that this rocket, first, flies to the radar station, they can see it. But the reaction time is simply absent.

Even if they let the rocket 150 km, provided that it has two sound speeds, it comes to a matter of seconds to its target, ”he said. On August 9, the Pentagon confirmed that as part of the US military assistance, Ukraine had put anti -radios. In the CNN commentary, a Pentagon representative said that it was a high-speed anti-radar missile AGM-88 (HARM).
