The shipborne air defense missile system "Polyment-Redut" has confirmed the ability to hit sea targets
Anti-aircraft missile system "Polyment-Redut", designed for installation on ships of the Naval fleet Russia, confirmed the ability to hit not only air, but also sea targets. The Department of Defense has conducted a series of relevant tests.
The navy has completed a series of tests in which the destruction of enemy surface ships was carried out by the Polyment-Redut air defense missile systems. As reported "News" with reference to military sources, the tests took place in several stages and were carried out over several years. The last tests took place at the end of autumn this year and were found to be successful.
Various ships were reportedly involved in the tests, including the Project 22350 Admiral Gorshkov frigate of the Northern Fleet, whose crew not only conducted test launches of the Polyment-Redut anti-aircraft missiles, but also worked out the full algorithm of actions in such a situation. It is emphasized that the strikes against naval targets were carried out by several types of anti-aircraft missiles, but their names were not disclosed.
"Polyment-Redut" is a sea-based anti-aircraft complex with a vertical launch installation, designed for ships of the class corvette, frigate, destroyer. Developed at the Almaz Central Design Bureau. The air defense system includes a Poliment radar with four phased arrays. The maximum number of simultaneously fired targets is 16. It is capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 150 km and at an altitude of up to 30 km.
Currently, the complex is installed on frigates of project 22350 and corvettes of project 20380. In the future, it is planned to install an anti-aircraft complex on modern ships of other projects.
