Stealth technology used for the latest Iskander missiles

The Iskander operational-tactical complex will be equipped with new ammunition, which is extremely difficult to detect and shoot down. At the same time, he moves along a complex trajectory, dodging enemy anti-missiles and striking ground targets.

About this newspaper "News" sources in the Russian defense department said.

This innovative product is called invulnerable. Its development has been underway since 2016, and by now the work is close to completion. In the summer of 2020, new ammunition was tested at the Kapustin Yar test site.

For these newest missiles of the Iskander tactical complex, the developers have used stealth technology. Their hulls are covered with a special radio-absorbing material.

The ammunition belongs to the aeroballistic class, that is, the missile is flying along a ballistic trajectory, but at the same time it is within the earth's atmosphere. Reaching the target, the ammunition maneuvers along a complex trajectory. With its help, you can hit objects at a distance (according to official data) up to 500 kilometers.

The interlocutors of the publication are confident that the novelty will significantly increase the combat capability of the Russian army.

The developer and manufacturer of the Iskander OTRK is the Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering. At the moment, the Iskander-M complexes are armed with two types of cruise missiles, as well as five ballistic missiles.

In my Wishlist, Iskander is generally "intergalactic". No one has canceled the laws of chemistry and physics and arodynamics.

[hrych]

First, Iskander is a universal "platform" and includes nomenclature. Moreover, the nomenclature also intersects with the universal "platform" of the Caliber. In particular, in the nomenclature of BR and KR. The Dagger complex is the essence of a ballistic missile from the Iskander range, suspended under the belly of an aircraft, etc. ... There are different GOS, i.e. with radar and IR, etc. There is inertial guidance and GLONASS. Naturally, the lightest seeker and warhead is nuclear. For guidance, enough inertial and satellite correction, in contrast to the overall one, its own radar, etc., and the 50-kiloton charge of the SBS weighs less than 100 kg. Those. according to the laws of ballistics, a hundred-kilogram charge will fly away farther than a half-ton land mine. And the most important thing is promising modernization. This is an option where the first stage is reset, and the second works with a turbojet engine, or even more interesting is the option of a stage with a ramjet engine. And this will fly much farther from the declared 500 km according to the late INF Treaty

[Ros 56]

Physics and chemistry are not very exact sciences, we know this from school. According to the laws of physics, the beetle should not fly, but it flies an infection. And there are many other paradoxes.
But I'm not actually talking about this, except for these sciences, you missed such a thing as the Russian "maybe", and this is, well, a very unpredictable phenomenon, so nothing can be 100% asserted and guaranteed, which the West itself has repeatedly had to make sure of when all their calculations in relation to us crumbled into dust

On the paper? What are your archaic ideas about aircraft design.

Back in the late 80s, students counted 1-2-3 stepped rockets programmatically in terms of educational laboratory work, laying the layout, known technological processes, materials, fuel, PN, control system, trajectories, etc.
30 students, enter the problem - each according to its own project initial data (PN and range).

A multi-user computer, solves problems from the queue, each designer gets his own result, changes the conditions and again for calculation - based on the results of laboratory work, submits the project to the supervisor (associate professor or professor of the LA department), must justify the choice of a technical solution - in my 4th year the corresponding department of our alma mater.
This is what it looked like in a classroom in the late 80s.

At the model aircraft we launched rockets and participated in competitions on standard engines, and by the 10th class of the SR shk, we launched NURS at 1,5 - 2 km range on a homemade TT - thanks to local KGB operatives - they kept us registered and did not touch us. And our whole company went into rocket and space technology and some people are still working in the industry.

Now the FSB would "accept" everyone - they would draw an article for storing / making ... at least - they would squeeze money from their parents, or they would sign up for a "hero" that opened an organized criminal group.

It's like comparing karting with F1 - amateur rocketry in the Russian Federation as an achievement :))
And that Zhenya is already experimenting with TT?
Does it pour solid fuel by itself? Experimenting with binder, varying filler, metallizing fuel?
There, effective TT from detonation is separated by grams of aluminum, magnesium, and detonation is already explosive, not TT.

Have you heard what High-power rocketry is?
In the USA (as well as in Great Britain, Australia, Canada, etc.) this direction of rocket modeling is regulated: it is necessary to obtain a license for the production of launches and the manufacture of TT according to the recipe.

Unlike model rocketry, certification is required by the governing organizations in order for individuals to fly high-powered rockets. The certification system is standardized across the hobby and governing organizations. There are three levels of certification, each allowing the user to fly successfully larger motors. In the USA (TRA and NAR):

Level 1: H, I
Level 2: J, K, L
Level 3: M, N, O and beyond

Consistent with CFR Title 14 Aeronautics and Space Part 101 Subpart C 101.22 Definitions:

“(B) Class 2 - High Power Rocket means an amateur rocket, other than a model rocket, which is propelled by an engine or engines having a combined total momentum of 40 Newton-seconds (960 lb-seconds) or less.

(c) Class 3 - Enhanced High Power Rocket means an amateur rocket other than a model rocket or high power rocket. "

Composite fuels based on ammonium perchlorate (AP) were previously required for engines, so that the buyer has a license for explosives and the transfer of the competent authorities to the recipient Document (RCA) Wikipedia site: wikichi.ru
Without a license - the engine is not more than 1 kg.
Zhenya - won very, very low status.

In the Russian Federation, the development of amateur rocketry is at an embryonic level - approximately Level 1 USA

An example of amateur rocket science level 3 - what do grown-up men do for "soul" :)

We left the standard black powder engines almost immediately - they did not work very synchronously anyway - from an assembly of 5 twenty - rarely when everything worked - the electric ignitors were so-so.
At the age of 13, he assembled a launch stand on the basis of a hand-held generator and a cascade of capacitors, which could work with a long cable (for safety, about 50 meters). And the electric fuses were made by themselves - which could effectively work with mixed and ballistic fuels, with which they experimented.
Hulls made of thick-walled aluminum cans from rescued vests - an excellent impulse was achieved over time on metallized ballistic fuels based on nitrocellulose.

On Vika they write (and in other sources the information is similar):

Iskander-M quasi-ballistic missile
_ "Iskander-M" - a variant for the Russian armed forces with two 9M723 quasi-ballistic missiles on a launcher, the firing range, as mentioned in various sources, is up to 500 km.
_Raketa complex 9M723 has one stage with a solid fuel engine. The rocket is manufactured using technologies to reduce radar signature (the so-called "Stealth technology"): small scattering surface, small size of protruding parts, radio-absorbing coating[17] [50] [51].

Somewhere I came across information that the active homing head of the rocket is turned on literally at the last moment, when there is no time left to counteract it with air defense means.

[voyaka uh]

The rocket is completely standard. Round cross-section, usual for BR.
Round is not stealth technology in any way. Stealth missiles - faceted section.
Therefore, it does not make any sense to coat with stealth coating - this is
additional measure, after the form.

"that the active seeker at the missile is turned on literally at the last moment"

Of course, otherwise it will burn up in the atmosphere. Correction at the terminal site. And so did Laura.

There is such a method of aiming guided interceptor missiles: "the method of full or partial trajectory straightening" - i.e. when the missile is aimed not at the target, but at the calculated "meeting point". Works great on high-speed non-maneuverable targets. Primary method used in missile defense! At the same time, on counter-intersecting courses, it allows you to intercept targets flying at speeds exceeding the speed of interceptor missiles (moreover, in some cases, even much exceeding). BUT! As soon as the goal starts to effectively maneuver, the probability of a miss grows rapidly (tending to 1, i.e., to 100%)!
Why is it incomprehensible?

[voyaka uh]

"effectively maneuver" ///
----
At high speeds, inertial forces interfere with effective maneuvering,
always working: in space, in the atmosphere.
It's like turning the wheel of a car at high speed.
For this reason, "effective maneuvering" for BR in practice is
slight "wiggle" by plus or minus 1-2 degrees from the main trajectory.
This wiggle is calculated by computers and does little against missile defense.
Iskander has swaying only on takeoff (the most vulnerable area).
There are no maneuvers in the middle section. On the terminal - correction using the GOS.

Such an option on the Yars warhead also exists, but never
will be used: missiles will fly away to no one knows where, which is much worse than missile defense.

The power of BR is speed.
If you want to actively maneuver, use CR.

Warrior - why are you fantasizing :)
The tree "sways" from the wind, the rocket performs a maneuver determined by the flight program.
Aeroballistic trajectories, imply an exit to an altitude of more than 50 km, the subsequent entry into the atmosphere and an active maneuver when approaching the target.
The missile defense launches at the lead point along the course, the speed of the interceptor missile differs by 1.5-2 times from the block flying by inertia.
The evasion of the block along the course with an overload of 40G - the interceptor missile will not be able to repeat within the limit of design constraints - overload, control system constraints, etc.

Maneuvering in the course of the programmer can reach tens of degrees

"Maneuvering in the course of the programmer can reach tens of degrees" ///

Is the BR super maneuverable?

[Dmitry Vladimirovich]

Another Pershing II Weapon System - was created with the ability to correct the trajectory in the final section up to several degrees and performed correction both according to the INS and according to the radar data.

This correlation process was performed several times during each of four altitude bands and continued to update the inertial guidance system until just before the impact

.
Why do you think that the Iskander warhead does not have target designation and control equipment at a CEP of 7-8 meters?

[voyaka uh]

"final section up to several degrees" ///
---
Read my posts. I wrote about this several times.
But this correction by maneuvering is possible when Iskander has already braked the atmosphere to a speed of high supersonic falling almost vertically on the target.
And Pershing has the same thing: sharp braking with an almost vertical fall. And a correction at the end.
You wrote about several dozens degrees ". And on a high trajectory and at high hyper-speeds. Which is impossible.

[Dmitry Vladimirovich]

Quote: voyaka uh

You wrote "about several tens of degrees." Moreover, on a high trajectory and at high hyper-speeds. Which is impossible.

What prevents this at altitudes of more than 50 km?

[voyaka uh]

Physics gets in the way. Inertial forces that work properly at any height.
And they will tear any apparatus apart or carry it away irreversibly from
main trajectory at any sharp maneuver

[Dmitry Vladimirovich]

The smaller the structure, the less the moment of inertia, the less its mass, the less the moment of inertia.
What prevents to aim the object in a certain area, which will be calculated by the target designation systems, and when approaching the estimated interception line, "correct" the trajectory - just the mass and power-to-weight ratio, with a gas-dynamic control system.
Even the "stage of delivery" of standard BB will give a dispersion along the course more than you wrote.
A controlled BB ... that is why it is controlled, its mass is much less than the starting one, it will take a much smaller impulse of force to significantly change the trajectory.

Quasi-cruel false targets were invented in order to increase the penetration of as much interference into the atmosphere as possible with cheap means, as close as possible to the interception of missile defense. transatmospheric interception - these are bulky systems - which will not survive in the area of ​​the battlefield

12th test of the THAAD system since the start of the program in 2005. The first operational test of the system to intercept missiles at high altitude was carried out on the final leg of the flight... One short-range missile and one medium-range ballistic missile were intercepted.

I would like to draw your attention to the following: in the final section - not beyond the atmospheric.
In the atmospheric section, it is quite possible to change the flight trajectory with aerodynamic control surfaces and gas-dynamic surfaces.
In the atmospheric area, the BB will "shine" with hot surfaces in the infrared range and its detection is not difficult.

The meaning of the script:
launch - at a distance of 400 km it is detected by radar means, satellite means (if they are capable by that moment) - the interception systems preliminarily calculate the area of ​​the fall, the probable objects of possible damage are determined along the course.
The THAAD interception complex is put on high alert.
At the end of the active section, by radar means, it is not possible to detect the warhead, upon exiting the dense layers of the atm. - The warhead is cooling down and it is still impossible to select it by aerodynamic heating.
Upon arrival at the target area, the warhead "breaks its trajectory" and enters the dense layers of the atmosphere, along a steep trajectory (or maybe not along a steep :)), who told you that the warhead cannot use all the advantages of the atmospheric section?
BP can be selected in the IR spectrum. The flight time is a little over a minute.
If there is an army missile defense THAAD launcher in the target area, it launches at the calculated point of the trajectory.
The warhead programmer performs the atmospheric maneuvering program.
Taking into account the fact that the speed of the interceptor increases and the target decreases, the target's maneuvering capabilities increase, and that of the interceptor decreases.
Due to late detection, the difference in the velocity vectors is greatest. The probability of interception tends to be minimal.

[voyaka uh]

All this is very interesting, but none of this.

Iskander missed even without the slightest maneuvering, along the simplest trajectory not to the maximum range.
We gave KVO 100 m. Correction from the seeker did not work when the target was not sufficiently contrasting, not on the range.
Of course, with a nuclear warhead and 100 m is enough to hit the target.
Iskander is a good, simple missile. Very effective with a nuclear warhead.
It is very difficult to intercept it even when it is on the simplest trajectory.
It was nice to chat

Protection against damage by air defense / missile defense systems in the acceleration section

To protect the missile from being hit in the acceleration section, the missile uses aerodynamic rudders for intensive maneuvering during climb.

Protection against defeat by air defense / missile defense systems in the ballistic section of the trajectory

Most of the flight takes place at an altitude of about 50 km, which is significantly higher than the ceiling for such air defense systems as Patriot [34].

The THAAD-class missile defense system is designed to calculate the trajectory of unguided ballistic missiles like the R-17 "Scud" with a direct impact on the high-altitude part. Some experts believe that Iskander-M is using gas-jet rudders against THAAD [52] [53]. Therefore, it is believed that the Iskander-M trajectory is not ballistic, as in the R-17 Scud missiles, but "quasi-ballistic" [54]. The mutual speed of approach of the Iskander missile and the interceptor missile is more than 3000 meters per second (for example, 1000 m / s THAAD + 2000 m / s Iskander), and the minimal deviation of the Iskander from the current trajectory reduces the probability of a kinetic interception by a direct hit by many time. Also, at ultra-high speeds, it is very difficult to track small deviations of the trajectory with the radar, even after the passage of time (when compared with the active protection systems of tanks, during their reaction time the Iskander manages to change the trajectory significantly (by meters)). Iskander can maneuver for a long time and repeatedly in flight. Moreover, if such maneuvering is weak, this practically means that there are no losses in speed and range following the results of maneuvering. The predecessor - "Oka" - had the ability to maneuver once up to 45 degrees away from the course.

Meanwhile, there are reports about other possible technologies for defense against missile defense in the ballistic section of the trajectory without maneuvering, but through the use of false targets [16] [41]. Some experts note that the Iskander is equivalent to such ICBMs as the Topol-M in terms of the level of its equipment for penetrating missile defense systems [55], [not in the source] that is, Iskander uses a typical set of decoys from ICBMs and the same bypass principles Missile defense. Passive decoys for ICBMs include inflatable dummy objects from a metallized shell, folding springy-mesh reflectors, as well as dipole reflectors made of pieces of wire [56] [not in the source]. Behind the rocket itself, additional folding reflectors attached to cables are usually thrown out. "Stealth means" in "Iskander" [17] [50] [51] in this case serve not for its concealment, but for leveling the radar characteristics of the missile and false targets, so that the signature of the missile for the radar is mainly represented by its "towed" reflectors, which are exactly the same as the folding springy decoys [56]. These protection methods are more effective than maneuvering, since, according to American missile defense specialists, if a missile could not be hit on the acceleration stage, then its defeat in the ballistic sector among the mass of false targets is unlikely [57]. To be indistinguishable for radar systems of air defense and missile defense systems when using decoys, Iskander should not maneuver on the ballistic section of the trajectory in order to be indistinguishable from decoys along the trajectory. [58] Which, however, being many times lighter, will begin to quickly lose speed, which will make it possible to select them.

When entering the dense layers of the atmosphere, maneuvering becomes the main method of defense against missile defense.

Protection against destruction of air defense / missile defense at the finish area of ​​destruction of the target

When descending to the target, the rocket maneuvers with an overload of 20-30 units (G) primarily due to the aerodynamic control surfaces. The rocket has a hypersonic speed at the finish line of the trajectory of 2100-2600 m / s (6-7 Mach numbers) [25]. These [59] [60] indicators exceed or are on the verge of the capabilities of the best missile defense / air defense systems of the middle [61] range. The angle of attack of the missile in the final segment is close to 90 degrees [source not specified 908 days], which in some cases takes the missile out of the field of view of the radar of the attacked missile defense system, and even more so the air defense [62].

Most experts believe that the Iskander warhead is not detachable, like other OTRKs [source not specified 1454 days].

Also, the main destructive ammunition "Iskander" for the destruction of air defense / missile defense systems are also cluster warheads. Due to the almost vertical approach of the Iskander to the target and the use of guided warheads, their early release from a height of up to 1,4 km to the target is possible, which makes it impossible to effectively use an anti-aircraft artillery system against a short-range air defense missile, which functionally protects the missile defense system from missile attacks [38] [39].

Iskander's electronic warfare system for combating air defense / missile defense
The rocket carries a complex complex of active interference [16] [41]. If the Iskander uses electronic warfare modules similar to those of the Topol-M [55], then the typical "battle formation" assumes that after the booster stage a line of false targets is formed, in the center of which is the missile itself, and the electronic warfare module is at the end of the line so that its interference becomes more complicated, superimposed on numerous reflectors, and also so that the module is the last one to collapse when it enters the atmosphere. The main purpose of such electronic warfare modules is to further complicate the recognition of a missile among false targets in the ballistic section of the trajectory, and when the missile enters the atmosphere, complicate the operation of the radar and radio command systems for anti-aircraft missiles [63] [64] [65].

[voyaka uh]

These are all fantasies. There are no false targets, no electronic warfare,
no maneuvering, no stealth.
None of this is needed. Missile defense and so it will be
kinetic damage to the rocket,
flying on such a high trajectory
with such great speed.
They will try to destroy the Iskander launchers,
and not the missiles themselves in flight.

There is a good ballistic missile capable of very fast,
faster than aviation, deliver 400 kg of explosives
or a nuclear charge exactly (with correction at the terminal section) at 400-600 km.

Quasi-heavy decoy is a special decoy that is lighter than the warhead, but mimics its trajectory. For this, it is equipped with its own solid-fuel after-acceleration motor to compensate for braking.

Plasma false target - a heavy false target, which includes a special plasma-forming charge, which, when burned, releases an amount of energy commensurate with that released when the warhead is decelerating. It is usually used as part of a quasi-heavy decoy target to compensate for the difference in glow from the heating of a real warhead and a decoy target. they can be made from different materials.

Iskander missed even without the slightest maneuvering, along the simplest trajectory not to the maximum range.

There are several types of the Iskander complex:
Iskander, Iskander-M, Iskander-K, Iskander-E and several types of missiles for them, with different guidance methods.
What rockets are you writing about? or did all the rockets behave the same way?

[Santa Fe]

performed correction both by ANN and by radar data.

How much did Pershing's speed decrease at that moment?

[Img]

[voyaka uh]

The speed decreased many times. From high hypersound to supersonic.
Braking on the atmosphere, plus forced braking.
Otherwise, the GOS could not work.

[Nikolay2]

Have you seen Pugachev's Cobra? So Iskander can do that, or whatever takes off from him.
Apparently, immediately after takeoff, the rocket takes on the shape of a ball. And then she is not afraid of any overloads - she can maneuver 180 degrees, 5 or 6 times.

[tralflot1832]

They write that at the final section Iskander can withstand overloads of 20-30 gA when maneuvering your miracle against missiles, how much can they withstand?

[voyaka uh]

Iskander has no maneuvering in the final section. Otherwise, he will miss the target.
There is a correction at the last kilometer with the help of the seeker.
It reduces the KVO from 50-100 to 10 m.
Missile defense missiles intercept ballistic missiles in the middle-end of the middle section
on an oncoming trajectory.
It is very difficult to intercept Iskander.

[tralflot1832]

I'm talking about Iskander maneuvering when overcoming missile defense, overloads of 20 30 g, which means that the interceptor missile must withstand an order of magnitude more overload. I am interested in the limit of your missiles. Or look in the tyrnet.

[Nikolaevich I]

The Iskander missile (9M723) is controllable throughout the entire flight path and, accordingly, maneuvers ... Most intensively maneuvers at the initial and final ... "Slight wiggle" maneuver? Oh well...

[voyaka uh]

Iskander all fuel burns out during the first 30-40 seconds of flight.
This is overclocking. Further, the rocket flies by inertia, gradually slowing down.
If the rocket is turned / deployed by a maneuver, then it will lose all its speed,
received in the first 40 seconds. There is nothing to compensate for the loss of speed.
Iskander is a single-stage ballistic missile. There is no second step.
And after the maneuver, the missile will no longer reach the target.

Strange, but still FITS !!! AND HOW do you explain this?

All this is so .... And in this "state" not every maneuver is available to "Iskander" ... But you forget that the 9M723 rocket has not only "gas-jet" rudders, but also aerodynamic ones ... when the solid propellant engine "burns out"! To make it "easier" to understand this, I will give "examples" ...: 1. "Hermes" ... The first stage accelerates the second and separates .... Then the second stage flies "sama-sama" without an engine, but it is controlled ... 2. "Carapace" ... the same ...! 3. SAMs ... for example, complexes s-300/400 ... after acceleration (burnout of solid propellants), the SAM flies by inertia, but is controlled! It is controlled until a certain "moment", as long as there is a "supply of energy" (sufficient speed to allow the aerodynamic rudders to work ...) Not every maneuver is available for the missile defense system in this "state". but management is still there until a certain moment ...

"effectively maneuver" ///
----
At high speeds, effective maneuvering is hampered by inertial forces, which always work: both in space and in the atmosphere.

slight "wiggle" by plus or minus 1-2 degrees from the main trajectory. This wiggle is calculated by computers and does little against missile defense.

Have you tried to write a program to calculate the "meeting point", depending on the speed and distance "target-missile" ??? Can you calculate the critical overload of the "interceptor missile" when maneuvering the "target" at a distance of 50 km and a speed of 5M and changing the trajectory by 1 (one!) Degree? And after the third maneuver? ...... Weak?
PS So, don't hang spaghetti on my ears! You have for this Education will not be enough!!!

[Light]

So we can still talk about a new cruise missile for Iskander, and not a ballistic one?) And stealth and maneuverability will be applied.

[Barberry25]

Well, Iskander seems to be maneuvering on the trajectory due to gas rudders, if I'm not mistaken, but the coverage ... what's the problem? will be, it's too late to twitch there ..

[Nikolaevich I]

Quote: Barberry25

Well, Iskander seems to be maneuvering on the trajectory due to gas rudders, if I'm not mistaken, but the coverage ... but what's the problem?

Iskander maneuvers due to aerodynamic rudders too ... A polymer coating of the rocket body that absorbs radio radiation is available "from the beginning" ... In the latter "case", it may mean an improved (!) Radio-absorbing coating ...

[Barberry25]

well, in fact, I don't have access ... but whether it was improved or old at the new plant, they were poured into banks (lol) I don't know

[ximkim]

Probably, the whole stealth of Iskander (and other complexes) lies in the fact that: it is used in few places, it is sold to few people, the wheeled chassis allows you to move missiles from one place to another, and of course remind potential recipients of the parcel.

[HAM]

It becomes somehow uncomfortable when they talk about "unparalleled in the world", "invulnerable to anti-missiles", etc., you have to be more modest .... they boast, basically, those who have little understanding of this ... specialists are modestly silent ...
This should come as a surprise to the enemy ...

[Barberry25]

not quite so .. communicating general performance characteristics to the enemy will force him to enter data into the model, which will automatically lower the chances of starting a database .. and the best war is the one that was avoided ..

[aszzz888]

This innovative product is called invulnerable.

Therefore, the Natosrovites immediately start shaking with convulsions. , from just one mention!

[Nikolay2]

Are they shaking like 2 faces in your comment?
They have 2 times more such missiles, but they should be afraid.

[Marachuh]

The rocket, according to calculations, flies 500 km. And by order of the party for 1500! After visiting Stalin's office, it turned out that the rocket was flying 5000 km

[Dmitry Vladimirovich]

Not so much stealth, how much does the quantity matter, the closest American counterparts - MGM-168A ATACMS Block 2 - 4A, are much more in arsenals.

[Antokha]

At the same time, he moves along a complex trajectory, dodging enemy anti-missiles and striking ground targets.

Well, how does the author imagine this?
It flies, which means that in the process of flight it strikes, like a bomber or attack aircraft.

You do not.
Missile evasion without a radar system is nonsense.
You can, of course, program a flight along a complex trajectory, but this is also close to nonsense.
The concept of using OTRK is the principle of an ultra-fast strike against targets that require an immediate solution.
The fastest flight path.
Accordingly, the most optimal flight trajectory is taken.
The introduction of the principle of Indian dances into the flight trajectory will not give anything except an increase in flight time and a decrease in range - in principle.

And yes.
The introduction of various coatings of a solid-propellant hypersonic missile that reduce visibility using radar is the same nonsense.
First, the coating will be instantly "blown away" by the air stream.
Secondly, the visibility of such a missile by modern radars is no longer on the hull, but on atmospheric disturbances caused by the operation of a rather large rocket engine.

Modern radars, even without seeing the aircraft itself, are guaranteed to see disturbances in the atmosphere caused by the operation of aircraft engines.

[Nikolay2]

And it evades using the forces of the Coulomb interaction of molecules.

[Charik]

And what are these two types of CD and five ballistic ones?

[Nikolay2]

Gentlemen, explain to the dull, how can you maneuver along a complex trajectory in supersonic?
I understand a difficult acrobatic jump. Maybe the author wrote the first extra letter in a complicated word?

[voyaka uh]

Iskander can do anything!
After being coated with a secret stealth coating, powerful quantum forces are infused into it
entanglement.
And he can even write out dead loops while being in different places at the same time.
He creates (from himself) false targets, deceives electronic warfare, easily bends around missile defense missiles,
sometimes even knocking them down with a sudden release of the gas-dynamic rudder.

Only a narrow circle of rocket specialists can calculate on paper how many kilometers an Iskander can fly theoretically. But knowing our saying "in reserve", can there be surprises?

Are you seriously? Yes, here on every second you will now calculate everything and build application analytics for 3 years in advance

That's for sure! And they will teach the designers. The main thing is that the sofa does not smoke.

Specialists are silent, because it is useless for dunce to prove something.
