Protection 200 km of zone: Ukraine can get from Poland anti -ship missiles NSM, - media

If the Polish and Ukrainian sides reach the agreement, then the Storm Shadow/SCalp EG class missiles will have another European long-range missile system at its disposal. Poland is preliminary negotiations with Ukraine on the supply of elements of the Polish coastal missile squad (NDR) designed to suppress the opponent's surface ships, as well as the protection of the main Navy and coastal communications.

If the parties agree, Ukraine will receive NSM (Naval Strike Missile) from the Norwegian company Kongsberg, capable of affecting ships, as well as ground targets at a distance of more than 200 km. On June 28, with reference to its sources, the Polish edition of Defense 24. The observers write that the possibility of purchasing the existing elements of the Polish system, perhaps even one full squadron, is currently being considered in Kiev.

Delivery can be realized at the expense of EU's own funds or funds. It is reported that the Polish army has two full systems of the NDR coastal missile squadron. Each of them consists of two batteries, three launchers with four rockets in each and auxiliary control and fire control machines in each. Batteries and squadrons, mobile communication centers, radars of detection and support of PIT-RADWAR production and logistics machines and logistics machines are included there.

"Thus, it can be assumed that after supplying the British-French-Earth missiles Storm Shadow/Scalp EG, Kiev will have another European launch system, only land base," the authors of the publication said. The main weapon of the NDR system is the Norwegian anti -ship rocket - NSM. It is made according to a standard aerodynamic scheme, equipped with four steering wheel in the tail part of the housing, and also has a wing, which is opened in the center.

The NSM rocket is difficult to detect, which is small in size at a total weight of 400 kg and weighing the fighting part of 125 kg. The missile management system enables her to move on a pre -programmed, complex trajectory, to bypass the enemy's aircraft, as well as to bypass the obstacles and terrain. In addition to GPS navigation system, the Tercom terrestrial adjustment subsystem.

The principle of operation of this subsystem is based on the comparisons of the terrain of the area where the rocket is located, with reference maps of the terrain throughout the length of the route of its flight, laid in memory of management systems on board. Earlier, Focus gathered information about the Taurus Kepd 350 winged air base, which is a direct competitor of British Storm Shadow, provided to Ukraine.
