Deep Strike rockets: a club over the main base of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol and the Western Military District

36
Despite the noticeable lag of the US military-industrial complex in the development of promising medium-range missile systems equipped with hypersonic ballistic or cruise missiles with a range of 1000 km or more, as well as the United States Air Force has only raw, undetected to the level of operational combat readiness 5,5- flying winged X-51A “Waverider” with a hypersonic ramjet engine, the Pentagon still has tools that pose a serious threat to anti-aircraft Aerospace forces, as well as air defense units of the Ground Forces of Russia deployed in the Southern and Western military districts of Russia.

One such tool is the promising small-size operational tactical ballistic missile Deep Strike (Deep Strike), also known in the Western press under the acronym PrSM (Precision Strike Missile).





This aerospace attack tool is being developed by the American company Raytheon as part of the promising LRPF (Long-Range Precision Fire) program to complement, and then completely replace, ATACMS family tactical ballistic missiles (MGM-140B and MGM-164B) having a range of only 300 km and a sufficiently large radar signature (about 0,2 sq. m), which makes it possible to detect by means of surveillance radars 91N6E and 96L6E (S-400 Triumf complexes) at a distance of 160-240 km. To date, the main range of work has been completed: in July 2018, the Deep Strike prototype was integrated into a previously developed transport launch container of a new type (with a smaller caliber than the standard 610 mm container for ATACMS), as reported news and the military analytical edition "Jane`s". From now on, the Deep Strike missiles, which are undergoing the latest refinement of onboard radio-electronic equipment (including inertial navigation systems, optoelectronic correlation sensors and aerodynamic rudder drives), will be adapted for use from self-propelled tracked PU M270 MLRS MLRS, as well as wheeled launchers M142 HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems.

No one will be surprised if in the coming 3 — 5 years PrSM missiles enter into numerous contracts concluded between the European member states of the NATO bloc and Raytheon in the area of ​​foreign military sales (FMS), after which they replenish the ammunition of the Romanian and Polish MLRS. It would be nothing if it were not for the “Deep Strike” range, which can reach 450 — 500 km, as well as the effective reflecting surface (the electromagnetic wave reflected by the body), which, in comparison with the ATACMS rocket, will decrease by 2 — 4 or more times (up to 0,1 — 0,05 sq. m) due to the smaller diameter of the rocket body and the wider use of composite and radio absorbing materials in the hull structure. What does this mean?


Based on this sketch, placed on the resource asc.army.mil, it is easy to determine that the caliber “Deep Strike” is within 330 — 340 mm. Small circles - 227-mm cells of guided missiles M31A1, large (white) - 330-mm cells of perspective OTBR “Deep Strike”


Firstly, the armament of the Romanian army, as well as the artillery units of the US Navy HIMARS MLRS, equipped with Deep Strike missiles in addition to the M31A1 guided missiles, can reach not only the north-west coast of Crimea, including Evpatoria, but also to the southwestern and central regions of the peninsula, including the main naval base of the Black Sea fleet Russian Navy in Sevastopol. Operational-tactical ballistic missiles of the ATACMS Block IIA version with a firing range of 300 km did not have such capabilities.

Secondly, due to the smaller radar signature «Deep Strike», a range of "capture" by radar guidance systems S-300V4 and C-400 «Triumph" (pointing radars 9S32M and illumination 92N6E) will be only about 100-140 km With the “Deep Strike” speed in 1700 — 1800 km / h, the C-300В4 / 400 calculations covering military facilities of the VKS and Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy in the Republic of Crimea will remain only 55 — 80 with to intercept these missiles. Of course, if we take into account the fact that each C-400 Triumph and C-300B4 divisions are able to simultaneously intercept 10 and 24 targets, respectively, it becomes clear that several of these complexes will easily repel even the massive “Deep” ballistic missiles. Strike ”/ PrSM; especially since they will be complemented by such anti-aircraft missile systems like the C-300PM1, which also protect the aerospace above the Western Crimea. Moreover, the presence of C-300В4 systems of new anti-aircraft 9М82МВ missiles with active radar homing heads makes it possible to destroy Deep Strike even at the moment of approach at an angle of 95 degrees, when the radar of the air defense missile system cannot see the rocket due to insufficient view in the vertical plane. But there is one unpleasant snag here.

Obviously, operational and tactical ballistic missiles “Deep Strike”, unlike ATACMS, will be sharpened for the execution of anti-aircraft maneuvers with overloads of more than 20 units. (like our "Iskander-M"). Consequently, even two-stage 9М82МВ anti-aircraft missiles, two combat stages of which are able to maneuver with overloads near 30 units, may not intercept the maneuvering PrSM OTBR; for we all know that in order to destroy a maneuvering ballistic object, an interceptor must have its own overloads 2,5 — 3 times.

The only interceptor missile that is suitable for hitting such "nimble" aerospace "guests" is the 9М96Х2 / DM, which received a "belt" from transverse-controlled gas-dynamic engines. But judging by the long silence of military diplomatic sources and the media regarding the adoption of the Vityaz air defense missile system, these missiles have not been brought to the level of initial combat readiness, and this is not encouraging. It is worth considering the fact that without the 9М96DM anti-aircraft missiles in the C-400 arsenals, the American OTBR Deep Strike will pose a noticeable threat not only to strategically important facilities in the Crimea, but also to the military infrastructure of the Russian army in the western regions of the Russian Federation having common borders with Poland , Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

    The realities are such that the Americans do not need to "reach out" especially to Evpatoria and Sevastopol. Only legal formalities interfere with the deployment of missiles near Kharkov and Perekop.
    ps Or maybe the "formalities" already "do not interfere". Foreign policy in the XNUMXst century is not very public.

      It is time to solve the problem of constant duty of KChF ships with appropriate radar and air defense and missile defense systems near the island. Snake (while Ukrainian). And it’s time to remember that the record for the BIPLANA flight altitude still belongs to the wooden biplane of Polikarpov (14 thousand m). Now we have a composite super-biplane, we produce it in dozens (when hundreds are needed!) - here is the constant work for it at KChF already drawn. We will cheaply and angrily replace expensive turntables with composite piston single-engine motors with very decent carrying capacity and flight time. One squadron of such simple biplanes organizes CONTINUOUS patrolling and fights off all efforts of the adversary from Varna, Constanta and Odessa. At the same time, you can ride the tourists - the salon allows. And the airborne reserve will appear.

      here is another interesting
      At a flying speed of "Deep Strike" in 1700-1800 km / h

      and they didn’t mess up anything here?
      or even the time of flight after detection at a distance of "about 100-140 km." not a damn not 55-80 seconds (by the way, this is usually enough with a margin), but 200-300 seconds (5 minutes).
      and by the way, not the fact that they will maneuver.

    The realities are such that no one would dare to blather, or something to attack while we have a vigorous argument, in sufficient quantity.
    Those. these vigorous ones should always be ready and sufficient !!! And the rest of the problems should be solved as they arise .... although, promising developments and countermeasures against them should be carried out systematically and methodically.

    Firstly, for the RGSS operation, the speed of the homing missile should not exceed 1,5 km / s (otherwise plasma formation begins).

    Secondly, in order to intercept, the available anti-missile overload must exceed a similar missile index by 2 times (and not by 2,5 or more, as in the article).

    Thirdly, the detection range of the new American OTP using the S-400 and C-350 radars is quite sufficient for its interception (despite the reduced area of ​​the OTP reflecting surface).

    Fourth, if something was not reported to the author on the S-350 Vityaz air defense system, this does not mean that there is no such complex (especially against the background of the new American OTR, which is at the development stage) laughing

    It is necessary to focus not on the destruction of an approaching missile, there will be many of them (massive strike) and all of them will not be destroyed. We must focus on the destruction of launchers, which have not yet managed to bring into a state of battle. And for this, Europe and NATO should know that such missile launchers will be guaranteed to be destroyed before they are deployed. In this regard, we must agree! But the ultimatum should be from Russia.

    Attention!
    Strictly observe safety requirements when throwing Mr.-on to the fan!
    1. Before throwing feces onto the fan, make sure that the air draft vector of the fan is not pointing in your direction.
    2. Spray from a safe distance and remember that a fecal shovel that bounces from being hit by a fan blade can cause serious damage to your health.
    3. When aiming the fan at the target, make sure that it is disconnected from the power source. Blades of an accidentally turned on fan may result in loss of protruding parts of the body.
