Concern "Kalashnikov" to supply the Ministry of Defense with target missiles "Armavir"

The Defense Ministry has signed a new contract for the supply of Armavir target missiles. This was reported by the press service of the Kalashnikov Group of Companies.

According to the agreement, the Kalashnikov Group of Companies will supply the Ministry of Defense with 20 Armavir high-altitude target missiles by the end of 2022. The signed contract also provides for the maintenance, repair and refinement of Molniya's target missiles in military units and at training ranges.

The Molniya Research and Production Association (NPO) and the RF Ministry of Defense have signed a contract for the supply of 20 Armavir high-altitude target missiles in the air defense unit. According to the contract, Molniya will become the exclusive supplier of target missiles until the end of 2022

- said in a statement.

According to the earlier signed contract, at present NPO Molniya is the only provider of services for servicing target missiles and air defense ground equipment of the country. In addition to the earlier delivered Armavir missiles, service maintenance extends to Strizh target missiles.

Currently in Russia there are about a hundred different types of targets for air defense forces. Most of them are created on the basis of obsolete anti-aircraft missiles, taken out of service. The Armavir target missiles are developed on the basis of the 5Ya23 anti-aircraft guided missile of the S-75 Dvina complex. The Strizh target missile was created on the basis of the 5Ya25M and 5Ya24 missiles of the S-25M Berkut complex.

Are there characteristics of these "target missiles" in the public domain? What will they be used to simulate? How well do they meet the challenges of the time?

Thank you for the information, but I'm not an expert in this matter, to me that the EPR is 0.1, that 101 numbers do not mean anything ...

Concern "Kalashnikov" to supply the Ministry of Defense with target missiles "Armavir"

is it tolerant towards the Americans?

[Temples]

Why Armavir?
Why shoot at Armavir?
Nice city in the Kuban.

They would call Arizona, if necessary, on A.

And so full of names Obama, Bush, Gorbachev, Yeltsin ... Chubais in the end.

[Pashhenko Nikolay]

Exactly. Somehow it jars that in my city they shoot to kill.

We studied according to Lucinsky.) And a layman just passed by ...

EPR 0.1 is roughly the area of ​​a large bird
The radar has implemented the principle of SDC (selection of moving targets), i.e. targets that have a low speed are eliminated, are not shown on the screen, otherwise continuous illumination from clouds, clouds ..., in those distant times this also applied to air objects with a low ESR, individual birds and flocks of birds. But as time goes on, everything changes. In the 80s, due to the low RCS and low flight altitude, the Tomahawk missile was practically impossible to detect. But again times are changing. But be that as it may, EPR is an important component of passive air defense counteraction.

The picture shows the S-25 "Berkut" air defense missile system. They have been used as high-altitude target rockets since the 70s. What is the novelty is not clear.

The 5Ya23 rocket is the S-75M2 Volkhov.

As I saw the photo, I imagined something painfully familiar. But, no, it was not imagined.
However, there are zagashniki in my homeland.

As for me, in modern realities, the target size should be smaller, plus stealth technology. Something similar to this

[Quadro]

And they will cost accordingly.

[viktor_ui]

... The S-75 air defense system is a bit with tuning of the muzzle and wings ... a gift from Vietnam go and ??? For more than 30 years, this monument has stood in my city Fun times.

[bars1]

Maybe our air defense systems show good results in exercises firing at such "modern" targets. What if this is a show?

[Prax1]

What's the point of it? Done obsolete 80x target. It is necessary to make targets with stealth technology before

[mvg]

Another "stickiness" of our military-industrial complex, it makes sense to shoot down a missile whose EPR, like the MiG-21. It's the same as "knocking down" an anti-ship missile at an altitude of 100 m, and even then, with "excitement" .. But then we get excellent marks and medals.
And our air defense is the most air defense in the world .. Only with real targets, and not with marks on TVs, they cannot cope.

[Jacket in stock]

For example, Americans bought our real missiles from us and made targets out of them.
Interestingly, what is the real goal of the "Armavirs"?
