A promising long-range MANPADS will expand the capabilities of the Russian army air defense

35

The Russian army will soon receive long-range portable anti-aircraft missile systems. Bekkhan Ozdoev, industrial director of the Rostec armament complex, stated that the development is being carried out by enterprises that are part of the state corporation.

According to a Rostec representative, Russian specialists are working to increase the maximum range of MANPADS, which is currently no more than five to six kilometers. At what stage the work is, whether a new anti-aircraft complex is being created or the modernization of existing ones is planned, Ozdoev did not say anything. In the future, the new long-range MANPADS should expand the capabilities of the Russian army air defense.



Meanwhile, the representative of the Mechanical Engineering Design Bureau, Alexander Romanyuk, clarified what was said by the representative of Rostec, explaining that the KBM designers are working not only to increase the maximum range of destruction of MANPADS, but also the probability of hitting targets. According to him, it is about increasing the sensitivity of the MANPADS homing head.

New systems should easily shoot down small targets, including Drones

- leads RIA News his words.

To date, the Russian army is armed with two types of MANPADS, including all modifications - these are "Igla" and "Verba". As the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces, Oleg Salyukov, recently announced, a third MANPADS is being prepared for service, capable of hitting targets without reacting to heat traps. We are talking about the portable complex "Label".

      How to increase the range is very simple. Throw away the ancient heavy blind seeker and replace it with a new light one.

      Oh yes, for this you need to do this very GOS first, and for this you need to make a photo matrix, a processor, teach it to recognize images ... and so on, so on, so on ...
      And this is all oh, how difficult it is, this is a whole industry, however.

        I'd like to quickly see the work (results of work) of such a MANPADS in a real combat situation.

        The dimensions of the rocket can also be increased. It is clear that the convenience of working with the complex will decrease, but if you urgently need to get an increase in the range of MANPADS urgently, this is the easiest way. hi

          Let me give you an example ....... The Americans are selling the Javelin ATGM kit (launcher + 6 missiles) for $ 1,4 million. The Ukrainian set of MANPADS Stugna-P was recently sold in the UAE for 200 thousand dollars .... The Russian ATGM Kornet in terms of performance corresponds to the ATGM Stugna-P, that is, it costs about the same. Think about it

            Maybe you are confusing something, but ATGM and MANPADS are very different things, although sometimes ATGMs were fired at helicopters. But the comparison is not correct.

      A promising long-range MANPADS will expand the capabilities of the Russian army air defense

      The increase in the range is probably primarily associated with the defeat of attack UAVs and helicopters before they use guided weapons. Yes, and on cruise missiles, too, extra range will not hurt.
      This is what our military specialists think.
      The massive use of cruise missiles (CR) in combination with their high accuracy has dramatically reduced the effectiveness of existing air defense systems. Indeed, in order to resist the raids of the CD, it is necessary to place a sufficient number of launchers of anti-aircraft missile systems in dangerous directions with a total ammunition that is two to three times higher than the total number of CD in such raids. Considering that in one of the last military conflicts more than two thousand missiles were fired, then the total ammunition of the air defense missile system for their destruction should be four to six thousand missiles. Not every country is capable of this, not to mention the economic feasibility of using large anti-aircraft missiles against the CD, at a price comparable or even exceeding their cost. The developers of air defense systems came to the conclusion that it is MANPADS that are largely suitable for this purpose.

          The unique automated control system for MANPADS "Verba" allows detecting single and group air targets, determining the parameters of their flight and distributing them among anti-aircraft gunners in automatic mode.
          http://nevskii-bastion.ru/verba/
          To ensure the operation of MANPADS there are:
          - a portable fire control module (PMUO), indexed 9S933. It is part of the Barnaul-T automation kit (KSA), designed to automate the process of actions of a detachment of anti-aircraft gunners MANPADS and improve effective weapons control.
          - portable small-sized radar 1L122 "Garmon".
          - A complex of automation equipment for the anti-aircraft gunners' squad (KSAS), which received the index 9S935 and is also part of the KSA "Barnaul-T". This complex is designed to equip anti-aircraft gunner squads with MANPADS, improve the efficiency of weapon control under any conditions of a combat situation and coordinate their actions. The elements of the complex are placed on the shooter's protective helmet and wearable vest, in order not to reduce the maneuverability of anti-aircraft gunners' squads and platoons.

            That's all good ... is the detection range the same as the hitting range? Or maybe a platoon of anti-aircraft gunners will sit in ambush, scanning the air situation ready to fire MANPADS for the approach of the CD?

              The MANPADS units are part of the general air defense system and receive data for firing centralized, in addition, they have their own 1L122 "Garmon" radar for target detection. And there are devices for transmitting this data to each MANPADS shooter.

      large anti-aircraft missiles

      So it seems that these our military experts decided that large missiles on AWACS planes, or did Thor and Wasps missiles hit large ones?
      And as interestingly as the accuracy of the CD affects the effectiveness of air defense, does it really care what the target's accuracy is?

        Perhaps we are talking about assessing the effectiveness of air defense systems covering targets attacked by the CD. Judged by the end result. If all CDs participating in the attack are destroyed by air defense and the covered object is not hit, then the effectiveness is high. If part of the CD, without being destroyed, simply missed the target, due to low accuracy, then the effectiveness of the air defense will also be high (the protected object is not hit). And if the accuracy of the RC is close to 100%, then everything will have to be shot down to confirm the high efficiency. Personally, I think so. hi

            I hope it did. Reducing the accuracy of missile launchers or landing them by means of electronic warfare leads to a decrease in the likelihood of hitting targets by them and relieves the target channels of air defense systems.

          The first target, with a massive raid, is air defense systems.
          And they themselves need cover.
          A couple of months ago, I would have just laughed about MANPADS for this ...
          But after our Lieutenant Igloi-S shot down a Chinese TY-300D target missile at the International Army Games, I will not laugh anymore. hi

      If one missile is enough to hit the protected object, then it will be possible to assess whether it will hit the target or miss it only on approach, and then it will be too late to shoot down, it is not known whether it will hit or not
