The Czech Ministry of Defense will replace the Soviet air defense systems "Kub-M2" with the Israeli air defense systems Spyder

50

The Czech Ministry of Defense intends to purchase Israeli-made Spyder air defense systems. According to Armadni Noviny, negotiations are already underway.

According to the newspaper, the Czech military department has begun negotiations with the Israeli company Rafael on the supply of Spyder anti-aircraft missile systems, which in the future should replace the Soviet-made medium-range anti-aircraft systems 2K12M2 "Cub-M2" in service. At what stage are the negotiations Armadni Noviny does not know.



The fact that the Czech Republic intends to modernize its air defense forces was reported last year. In early autumn 2020, the Minister of Defense of the Czech Republic Lubomir Metnar announced plans to purchase four batteries of the Spyder air defense system. The choice on the Israeli anti-aircraft system fell on the results of a tender held by the Czech Ministry of Defense for several years.

Four batteries of Spyder air defense systems (four launchers in each) will replace four batteries of Soviet 25K2M12 “Kub-M2” air defense systems purchased in the 2s of the last century as part of the 60th Tobruk anti-aircraft missile regiment. Previously, it was assumed that the contract for the supply of complexes will be signed in early 2021 with the delivery of the first complexes in early 2023.

To date, the Spyder air defense systems are in service with Georgia, Singapore, India, Vietnam and the Philippines.

        That's it ! Militant countries like the Czech Republic can afford to buy a certain amount of weapons advertised as "super duper" and, accordingly, very expensive! Because they won’t buy much, knowing that they won’t be attacked and they don’t need much! But show Ponta ...! fellow As they say, show-off is more expensive than money! Still would! They have a "super-duper-weapon", but the Russian "rogue" does not have that! ...

    An excellent complex, but not capable of firing directly on the move.
    The installation, which is placed on a chassis with a 6x6 wheel arrangement, is not very good in terms of cross-country ability.

        EL / M-2106 ATAR (Advanced Tactical Acquisition Radar) is a semiconductor three-coordinate medium-range L-band radar with an active phased array (AFAR) in elevation. The radar detects a wide variety of low RCS targets, including low speed and unmanned targets.

        The radar can track up to 500 targets simultaneously, has a 360 ° azimuth viewing sector, all-weather at any time of the day, and includes modern electronic counter-countermeasures for operation in conditions of dense enemy electronic warfare.

        Detection range:
        Maximum - 180 km
        Fighter - 70-110 km
        Hovering helicopter - 40 km
        Unsllot machine - 40-60 km
        Coordinate accuracy:
        Range - 30 m
        Azimuth - 0,5 °
        Elevation - 1,0 °

      As for the combination of cannon artillery with SAM "in one bottle", for example, in Pantsir, I am personally plagued by vague doubts.
      To begin with, enemy air forces can carry out raids from different angles. In this case, some targets may be more likely to be hit by missiles and others by cannons.
      In addition, the algorithms for controlling the guns and missiles are completely different, which adds a load on the Pantsir operators in the process of deciding on which targets to fire and what.
      Further. Turning the massive Carapace turret to different azimuths requires both decent energy costs and turnaround time. I'm not even talking about the complexity and weight of the servo, which rotates this "head" in different directions.
      As a result, the effectiveness of the Carapace in a stellar strike compared to a raid from one direction or in a narrow sector can seriously decrease. Not up to the baseboard, but still
      And further. The installation of an active radar over the cockpit of the Pantsir operators can significantly complicate their life, up to the loss of it when the enemy uses anti-radar homing missiles (PRR) from distances where neither the Pantsir's guns nor missiles can reach their carrier.
      There are also great doubts about Pantsir's ability to destroy these missiles. modern PRR can go to the intended target using different flight profiles (including extremely low altitudes) and guidance methods. Hope for "trickery", i.e. on the radar simulators of the Pantsir designed to lure the PRR on itself, it is also very ghostly, tk. modern PRR can carry out a fairly fine analysis of radiation sources and weed out false targets.
      Somehow, in the mid-70s, I tried to discuss these issues with the developers of Tunguska (the forerunner of Pantsir) at the Donguzsky test site, but they referred to the indisputable authority of the Chief Designer and the discussion went into the clay soil of the test site.
      Of course, where the Carapace can be placed along the perimeter of the protected object with a cut for each of them a narrow zone of responsibility, then the Carapace can be quite effective. But where a single Armor is involved, for example on ships, there arises a big question how long it can hold out with a massive raid from different angles and angles.

          By the way about the birds, uv. Konstantin.
          The Americans were able to integrate the CIWS Phalanx s sensors with the Ci-RAM missile launcher.
          But at the same time, they did not include in this complex the six-barreled cannon that was originally part of the CIWS Phalanx https://www.raytheonmissilesanddefense.com/capabilities/products/searam-ship-defense-system
          And purely artillery CIWS Phalanx were on the ships. and did not go anywhere.
          The solution looks (in spite of Armor, Tunguska and other Chestnuts) quite logical and economical.

        Write, as always, a lie.

        The Pantsir differs from world analogues of short-range air defense / missile defense systems primarily by the use of the latest target detection and tracking devices. This includes three radars, one of which has a phased antenna array, that is, there is not a mechanical but an electronic deflection of the scanning beam. There is also an optical location station operating in the visible and infrared ranges. The reaction speed is record-breaking - 4 sec. Guidance of the missile and artillery mount is carried out at a speed of 100 degrees per second.

        The rocket is also unique, it is bicaliber. The caliber of the first stage is larger than the second: 170 mm and 90 mm, respectively. This is necessary in order not to lose energy when shooting the first stage, in this mode the speed of the second (non-motorized) stage is reduced by only 40 m / s per kilometer.

        The artillery mount uses a 30 mm twin anti-aircraft machine gun that fires 5000 rounds per minute.
