All C-300PM air defense missile systems, which are in service with anti-aircraft missile regiments of the Armed Forces of the East Kazakhstan region, have been upgraded under the Favorit-S program

35
All anti-aircraft missile systems (ZRS) C-300PM, which are in service with anti-aircraft missile regiments of the Aerospace Defense Forces (EKR), have been upgraded by the Favorit-S program.

The second stage of improving the means of the system involves upgrading it to the C-300PM2 level, which will increase the likelihood of hitting ballistic targets, replace obsolete workplaces and computing facilities with modern samples (Elbrus, Baguette, RAMEK), introduce autonomous means of detection and targeting, as well as modernized communications equipment and modern means of topographic location.

These works, according to several estimates, show that the effectiveness of the upgraded C-300PM to the PM2 level, reflecting the combined impacts of aerodynamic and ballistic targets, increases on average by 15-20%.

In the future, by 2020, around 100% of anti-aircraft missile regiments of the Air and Missile Defense Command (Air Defense and Missile Defense) of the EKO forces are planned to be re-equipped with the C-400 anti-aircraft missile system, the Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile system (ZRPK), as well as the Vityaz anti-aircraft missile system (ZRK).

Moreover, the 6 ZRPK “Pantsir-S”, which passed state tests at the Ashuluk and Kapustin Yar test sites, has already entered service with the anti-aircraft missile regiment 5 of the Air Defense and ABM Command Brigade.

In September, the 2011 of the C-400 and the Pantsir-S ZRPK took part for the first time in the large-scale exercises “Combat Commonwealth-2011” and “The Union-2011 Shield”, where they showed good results in destroying air targets in extremely small, medium and high altitudes.

    Such news is encouraging. When the sky is covered you feel much calmer. And let the "shkolota" scream about the sevenfold overlap above him and the "leaky sky" above us, but we know the real state of affairs.

      Here they trolled that we do not have the S-400 ha, and so now the development of the S-500 is underway, or is also called "Triumfator-M"





      At the end of 2010, the Almaz-Antey Concern's GSKB developed a technical design for the air defense system as a whole, developed communication facilities for air defense systems, tested controls for a full-scale experiment, and announced the name of the system - 55R6M (submitted as ROC). Also in 2010, a technical design of the 98Zh6M1 air defense system was developed, presumably included in the S-500 air defense system, and mathematical models of the control loop of promising missiles were developed and modeling was carried out with the GOS options. The assessment of the affected areas and effectiveness was carried out. The development of the S-500 air defense system is planned to be fully completed in 2012.

      Tests of the S-500 air defense / missile defense system - at the very beginning of development in 2002, it was planned to start testing air defense systems by 2010 (as of 2010 there was no information about air defense tests). In 2010, prototyping of the air defense system components — products 77T6, 77N6-N and 77N6-N1 — was carried out, the MIMS (model) of the main component of the system — the air defense system 98Zh6M1 — was created, and software was developed. It is planned to test the air defense systems (2010 plans) by 2015. On January 27, 2011 the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Space Forces O. Ostapenko announced that production of prototypes of the new missile defense system had begun, and tests of some components had already begun at the Sary-Shagan test site.

      Adoption. As of 500, it is planned to adopt the S-2010 system after the tests are completed - the complex will be adopted and will begin to enter the air defense units of the country (until 2020). On February 7, 2011, it was announced that serial production of the components of the S-500 system would begin in 2014 and by 2020 10 S-500 systems (divisions) would enter the air defense forces. At the first stage, the S-500 systems are likely to be of combined composition - using the infrastructure of the S-400 air defense systems.

      The complex should theoretically be part of the aerospace defense brigades, and, according to media reports, can be used for missile defense and air defense theaters. The S-500 air defense system is being created on the basis and taking into account the experience of creating the S-400 Triumph air defense system. According to media reports, the missiles of the components of the S-500 air defense system will be unified with the missiles of the modernized missile defense system of Moscow. On the basis of the S-500 air defense system, the Navy air defense system may be created. For the production of air defense systems, the Almaz-Antey air defense concern plans to build two new plants (one for the production of missiles, the second for the production of ground-based air defense systems).

      Presumably, the S-500 air defense system will be two- or three-echelon missiles with medium, long and ultra-long-range missiles, or it is also possible that the S-500 air defense system will have two echelons - long-range and super-long-range missiles with the main mission - missile defense.


      Purpose of the S-500 air defense system:
      1. The defeat of ballistic missiles with a range of up to 3500 km and speeds up to 5 km / s;
      2. The defeat of more advanced ballistic goals, possibly in the future (hypothetically);
      3. The defeat of aerodynamic targets;
      4. The defeat of air command posts and aircraft AWACS;
      5. The defeat of high-speed aerodynamic targets (hypothetically);
      6. The defeat of the satellite (hypothetically);

        - 2011, the end of January - preparations have begun for the acceptance of the S-500 system for arming the forces of the East Kazakhstan region. In the future, it is planned to deploy the system around Moscow and, possibly, in the European part of the country.

        - February 2011, 24 - Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia V. Popovkin said that in the period 2011-2020 It is planned to purchase 10 S-500 systems. Testing of the complex is scheduled to begin in 2015.

        - 2011 October 5 - in the media (Izvestia) there was information about the delay in the development of the S-500 system from the schedule by 2 years. At the current pace, the creation of the complex will be completed by 2015, serial production will begin in 2017. The creation of several prototypes of the complex systems will be completed in 2013, after which tests will begin. As a result, the introduction of the system into service can begin only after 2017.

        - 2012 - the planned completion of R&D S-500 (plans for 2008 or 2009).

        - 2013 - completion of the prototyping of the system and access to testing according to the version of the plans of October 2011.

        - 2014 - the beginning of mass production of the S-500 missile system, according to plans announced on February 17.02.2011, XNUMX by the commander of the USC East Kazakhstan region, Lieutenant General Valery Ivanov.

        - 2015 - the planned completion of the development and testing of S-500 air defense systems and their adoption (plans for 2010 or earlier). According to the version of the plans of October 2011, it is assumed that in 2015 the creation of the complex will be completed.

        - 2017 - the beginning of mass production of the S-500 system according to the version of plans from October 2011.

          S-1000 - modification of the S-500 air defense system. Perhaps with an increased range or with a more developed anti-ballistic or anti-satellite potential.
          if everything goes well, then perhaps this complex will be released that can hit targets even in near-Earth orbit. .

          The complex is there. There is no long-range missile. It is being developed. The launch is different. The chassis is different. The PUs are different. The missiles are modernized in comparison with the S-300. High-range missiles are being developed. In other words, the complexes are better seen, further escorted, but so far they hit medium-range missiles .

        - like a layer cake, layered defense is called.
        The defense in depth is referred to as when radars of ultra-long and long-range detection are added to the S-300 or s-400 in conjunction with the shells, including and aircraft-based AWACS, a unified control system and specialized fighter air defense (on MIG-31 BM type airplanes) plus the support of military air defense. Such a deeply echeloned defense is not easy to overcome even by amers, not to mention the introduction of a no-fly zone.
        But before such a deeply echeorned defense of air defense, we still need to work, and work a lot

      Our "sworn friends" have extensive experience in suppressing air defense. Including all kinds of anti-radar ammunition like all sorts of "Kharms", "Shrikov" and their descendants.
      At the same time, C-300 missiles are semi-active, which means that in the final leg of the flight they need the radar to constantly irradiate the target. And the air defense positions are a tasty target for Tomahawks-type cruise missiles. That is why in the positions of C-300, shells and tori are also extremely necessary - to bring down all these harams and tomahawks to horseradish.

    Comrades, do not write please about technology simply and dryly, give at least some minimum information. It’s all the same to imagine military equipment without TTX that it’s dry and difficult to eat a loaf without washing down fellow
    And the air defense system is very impressive in its specifications, the mere fact that it is capable of producing 3 rounds per second gives rise.

    Here is a short description of the S-300PMU-2 air defense system!

    The composition of the air defense system C-300PMU-2 includes:
    • command post of 83M6E2 control system
    • up to six anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM) 90ZH6E2.
    • anti-aircraft guided missiles (SAM) 48N6E2;
    • technical support equipment similar to the S-300PMU-1 air defense system.

    The command post of the control system (KP SU) 83M6E2 receives and summarizes information about the air situation from various sources, manages the combat operations of fire divisions, receives command commands and information about air objects from the command post of the air defense zone.
    The composition of the KP SU 83M6E2 includes:
    • combat control point (PBU) 54K6E2. PBU 54K6E2 automatically determines: parameters of the trajectory of movement (range, speed, altitude, direction), nationality, type and degree of danger of an air object, firing conditions for each fire division, the optimal distribution of targets in the fire divisions for their destruction, taking into account the firing conditions and the position ammunition. PBU 54K6E2 is capable of controlling the S-300PMU-2, S-300PMU-1, S-300PMU, S-200VE air defense systems in any combination. PBU 54K6E2 provides simultaneous firing of up to 36 targets with guidance of up to 72 missiles on them. The number of simultaneously detected targets is up to 300, the number of simultaneously tracked targets is up to 100.
    • 64N6E2 detection radar. 64N6E2 - a fully automatic three-coordinate survey radar with two-sided phased S-band antenna array, provides the command point of the system with high-quality information about air objects within a radius of 300 km. This information through the built-in communication channels is used by each SAM.
    • means of ensuring operation.

    Each SAM 90ZH6E2 includes:

    multifunctional illumination and guidance radar (RPN) 30N6E2. The 30N6E2 illumination and guidance radar provides search, detection, automatic tracking of targets, performs all operations related to the preparation and firing of anti-aircraft missiles, and also evaluates the results of firing. The multifunctionality of the locator is ensured by the use of phased X-band antenna arrays and high automation of all its functioning processes based on modern high-speed digital control methods. The RPN 30N6E2 antenna post can be mounted on a special 40V6M mobile tower.


    up to 12 launchers (PU) of type 5P85SE, 5P85TE. The 5P85SE (5P85TE) vertical launch launcher provides storage, transportation and launch of missiles. Contains four 48H6E2 (48H6E) anti-aircraft missiles. The missiles are in airtight containers and do not require maintenance for 10 years of operation. The 48N6E2 missile has high maneuverability and overload capabilities. It is equipped with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead and provides for the destruction of air targets at ranges from 3 to 200 km both in oncoming courses and when firing after. During actions in a missile defense system, the detonation of a missile’s warhead by optimizing the area of ​​fragmentation and their spatial and energy characteristics causes the initiation of a warhead of a ballistic missile at the interception point. As with previous versions of the S-300 system, rocket launch is carried out vertically using a powder catapult. At an altitude of about 25m, a marching engine is switched on, providing rocket acceleration to 1900m / s. The rocket is controlled by gas rudders. The system is capable of launching missiles at a rate of three missiles per second, providing protection against a massive attack by enemy air attacks.


    an all-altitude detector (VVO) 96L6E with a full-azimuth multi-beam HEADLIGHTS automatically sends to the 30N6E2 RPN and the SU 83M6E2 control panel information about the air situation on aircraft and cruise missiles (including those made using the Stealth technology) flying from any direction. Due to the adaptive use of wide-base signals and multi-frequency operation, the locator provides highly efficient detection of both low-altitude targets and targets at medium and high altitudes. To detect targets at extremely low altitudes in forest and rugged terrain, the antenna device of the locator can be raised to a special tower - 966AA14. VVO 96L6E is designed to detect, determine nationality, class recognition, tie and track the routes of airborne objects, issue target designations and three-coordinate information about all detected airborne objects to consumers via a radio channel, cable channel and (or) fiber-optic communication line. The procedure for transferring information to the consumer is organizationally determined by the agreed interface protocol, and in hardware - by replacing the reprogrammable interface cards. VVO 96L6E can be used as part of the S-300PMU, S-300PMU-1, S-300PMU-2 systems, including during the conduct of hostilities by one battalion, combining the functions of a low-altitude detector, surveillance radar and command post, and is also used in radio engineering and anti-aircraft missile units as a combat mode radar


    Combat operations are independently carried out according to the aggregate of information from the radar systems included in the KP SU 83M6E2 and SAM 90ZH6E2, as well as additional radar systems attached to the S-ZOOPMU-2 systems: low-altitude radar station (NVO) 76N6 and 36D6 radar station. Detection radars and illumination and guidance radars simultaneously conduct airspace survey, detect and identify airborne objects. Simultaneous viewing of airspace by several radars completely eliminates the detection of airborne objects, including cruise missiles at extremely low altitudes, flying from any direction with an envelope of the terrain, in conditions of intense reflection from local objects and opposition from the enemy. The detected airborne objects are continuously tracked, and track information about them is transmitted to the KP of the 83M6E2 system.

    Improvement of equipment and software and algorithmic support for ground-based facilities, the introduction of the 48Н6Е2 missile with modernized combat equipment, the integration of air defense systems and AS into a single air defense system, and the use of new radar systems attached to air defense systems allowed:
    • increase the effectiveness of destruction of all types of targets, including inconspicuous targets at extremely low altitudes, in complex tactical and interference situations;
    • achieve effective destruction (undermining) of warheads (ballistic missiles) of ballistic missiles on their flight path when using SAM 48N6E2 by improving the guidance algorithms and modernizing its combat equipment;
    • hit aerodynamic targets at ranges of up to 200 km in oncoming and catch-up courses without breaking zones of damage on the parameter;
    • increase the autonomy of the conduct of hostilities of air defense systems, including through the use of a new generation of autonomous target designation equipment - VVO 96L6E;
    • use, along with 48N6E2 missiles, 48N6E missiles of the S-300-PMU1 system;
    • expand the possibilities of integrating anti-aircraft missile weapons into various air defense systems, including those working in NATO standards.

        Sorry colleague, as I thought about the S-300PMU air defense system feel
        I'm testing out.

        Carapace-C1 is an anti-aircraft missile-cannon complex of short radius, placed on the chassis of a truck, trailer or installed permanently. Management is carried out by two or three operators. Air defense is carried out by automatic guns and guided missiles with radio command guidance with infrared and radio direction finding. The complex is designed to protect small-sized objects from air attack (both manned and unmanned). In addition, the complex is able to fight lightly armored ground targets, as well as enemy manpower.

        To ensure noise immunity, the system changes the frequency of 3500 jumps / s according to a pseudo-random law in a wide range. The modular principle allows you to place the system on any chassis, including on the basis of the Tunguska air defense system.

        Work complex

        A feature of the Pantsir-C1 complex is the combination of a multi-channel capture system and target tracking with cannon-artillery weapons, creating a continuous target interception zone from 5 m in height and 200 m to 15 km in height and 20 km in range, even without external support.

        Modes of operation

        Up to 6, Pantsir-С1 machines can work together through a digital communication network in various modes.
        Single combat operations: all actions from finding a target to its interception are completely carried out by a single complex without involving other means.
        The fighting as part of the battery: one Shell-C1 works as a combat vehicle and at the same time as a command post. From 3 to 5 Shells can be connected to it and receive target designation for the subsequent execution of the task.
        Combat operations with the command post: the command post sends target designations to the Shell-C1 installations for the subsequent execution of the task.
        Fighting as part of a battery with a command post and an early warning radar: the command post receives the air situation from the early warning radar and sends target designations to the Panzir-C1 installations for the subsequent execution of the task.
        It can work in automatic mode both in a separate military unit, and as part of a unit of several military vehicles.

        Fire detection, tracking and control system

        Pantsir-С1 (in the center of the target tracking radar) - two double-barreled anti-aircraft guns and 12 ground-to-air missiles, ready to launch
        The fire control system of the Pantsir-C1 complex includes radar (based on the HEADLIGHTS) detection and two radar tracking (this radar accompanies both targets and ground-to-air missiles launched by the complex). For targets with an effective scattering area of ​​2 m, the detection range is 32-36 km.

        In addition to the radar, the fire control system also contains an optoelectronic complex with a long-wave thermal receiver (infrared direction finder), as well as digital signal processing and automatic target tracking. There is a simplified and cheaper version of the Shell-C1 for export, which contains only an optoelectronic fire control system.

        Two independent guidance tools - a radar and an optoelectronic system make it possible to capture four targets simultaneously. The maximum capture speed is 10 targets per minute.

        Enjoy yourself.

    I think modernization to the required level of all s-300s is good, considering that the s-400 will be too small by the end of 2020, the Favorites can save. Although I think that it is necessary to create a full-fledged national missile defense today. 5-6 operational air defense / missile defense bases similar to Maskva missile defense and also the missile defense base in Belarus and Kazakhstan, and we can assume that we, like the USA, will also have our global missile defense

    Moreover, strong missile defense bases in central Asia and the Far East can in the future create protection for the southern and eastern regions but also have pressure on nearby nuclear countries (China, India, Pakistan, and Iran, the DPRK), and this can give us a good bonus
