A new medium-range anti-aircraft missile system was shown in Ukraine
At the military exhibition taking place in Kiev these days "Weapon and security - 2021 "Ukrainian enterprises of the military-industrial complex presented their new products. Particular attention was drawn to the stand of the Kiev design bureau" Luch ".
According to the Ukrainian portal "Militarniy", KB specialists for the first time showed the design of the future medium-range anti-aircraft missile system (SAM), which is being developed by the design bureau. At the same time, it is argued that work on the complex has been going on for a long time.
Like most new products, the new air defense system is presented as a mock-up. Judging by the photo, the presented launcher carries four transport and launch containers for anti-aircraft missiles. The containers are standard, from the ZRS-300, their production was launched at the Vizar enterprise.
As follows from the data provided by the developers, the new anti-aircraft guided missile was created on the basis of a missile of the "high-precision system" MLRS "Alder" and is capable of hitting air targets at a distance of over 100 km. The new missile defense system will receive an active and passive seeker of Ukrainian production with an "inertial guidance system and a data line."
According to the Luch design bureau last summer, it takes 2,5 years to create a new anti-aircraft complex, and $ 30-50 million is needed to assemble prototypes and test them.
At the same time, it is emphasized that a number of components for the new air defense system have already been created and even tested. We are talking about a radar station (radar) 80K6KS1, which, according to Ukrainian media, will become part of the air defense system. All in all, according to the Luch design bureau, 40-50% of the components for the air defense system have already been created and tested.
