Mass use of MANPADS "Verba" will work out in exercises in Belarus

70

The mass use of Verba portable anti-aircraft missile systems to cover ground forces will be practiced during the upcoming Allied Resolve-2022 exercises, which will be held on the territory of Belarus. As stated in the Russian Ministry of Defense, the military will work out the creation of an "anti-drone dome".

Interception not only drones, but also managed aviation ammunition is planned to be worked out during joint Russian-Belarusian military exercises. Reportedly "News" citing sources in the military department, the military intends to work out a new system of protection against drones.



If simplified and without details, then the Verba MANPADS crews will be distributed over a large area in order to create the so-called "anti-drone dome". Anti-aircraft gunners will intercept enemy drones and guided aircraft munitions. Details are not disclosed.

It is emphasized that the new missile MANPADS "Verba" has dramatically increased the capabilities of the complex to combat small drones. Compared to MANPADS of earlier versions, the Verba is more noise-resistant, the missile does not respond to traps, and the operator does not need to track the launched missile, the complex operates on the principle: "fire and forget." In addition, the complex can be integrated into a single control system and receive target designation from external sources.

MANPADS "Verba" is the most modern of the Russian man-portable systems, it was put into service just a few years ago. At present, the troops are being saturated with new MANPADS. The troops are supplied with MANPADS in a kit, which, in addition to the anti-aircraft systems themselves, includes the Harmon radar stations, the Barnaul-T automated control systems and armored vehicles for transporting anti-aircraft crews.

    It’s good that they will train and check: hard in teaching, easy in battle!

    And what, Verba can see small drones and ammunition?
    Good if so.
    But even hard to believe. I didn’t find information anywhere about the device of her GOS, but I didn’t find any information that ours learned to do pattern recognition in such dimensions. Like as soon as they promise in the future.

        Very similar? Did they tell you that 36 American UAVs were shot down in 7 seconds ??? belay fool
        PS This already looks like a "diagnosis": in the article it was written that they were going to use the mass use of the Verba air defense system to create an "anti-drone dome" (to combat the massive use of UAVs and IOS) or did I misunderstand something? what So, what is the similarity here? Or is it like this: to blurt out anything in order to demonstrate oneself to the people?

            A person aims by directing the GOS towards the target. The GOS, in order to capture a target, must first see it. Moreover, before launch, i.e. at maximum range.

                  It's just that it's simple. After a command, or without a command, "air on the left (right)" pointed in the direction of target detection, target acquisition, launch. I omit some (two) operations.

                    I repeat once again that target acquisition implies that the GOS is able to see this target. To do this, the target must have an appropriate thermal contrast.
                    If the target is cold, then the GOS simply does not see it stupidly. And no matter what "Harmonies" will show an arrow where the target is, it will be useless.

          "Verba" received a unique aiming system with elements of augmented reality, sources in the Ministry of Defense told Izvestia. Now MANPADS can shoot down planes, helicopters and missiles, even if the objects have not yet entered the field of view of the anti-aircraft gunner. It also makes it possible to combine all the calculations of the anti-aircraft complex into a single combat network controlled in real time.


          In terms of performance characteristics, it has an altitude of 3500, a range of 6000 (these are declared), everything above and beyond is targets for other systems.

                  But is it not possible that the functions of the GOS are performed by an external guidance system? They dictate to the fighter in the earpiece: you turn by so many degrees, you pull the launcher by so many. Start! And then the external system sees the target and guides the missile to the target. And at the right moment, it blows up. Well, like this?

            21 January 2022 16: 03
            So there is no math. There is a TGSN that captures the target on its own. Fighter, you correctly identified it as a launcher, after hearing a beep in the earpiece, a buzzer sounds, presses the Start key. And the family went. Yes, I forgot the interrogator 1L14-1 is attached to the launch tube. First, a target request is made so as not to fire at your own. And after that start.
            The MANPADS also includes a portable electronic tablet (PEP) 1L15-1 designed to receive the control center and alert the location, direction of movement and ownership of "friend or foe" air targets within a radius of 12,5 km. The second calculation number works with PEP. Information about the air situation at the PEP is received via a radio channel from the radar.
            What happens in real life. The commander looks at the PEP screen, it can display a maximum of 4 targets, no more. Then he gives a voice command to the gunner to the anti-aircraft gunner target ... azimuth ... range ... height .... The shooter turns in the indicated direction. Further, what I wrote at the beginning.
            That's all automation.

        The new control system unites all "Verba" divisions into a single circuit. Each fighter can see on the screen the location of the target and its parameters. The platoon or battery commander is able to distribute targets between crews from his workplace, create massive or concentrated fire, and also set "anti-aircraft traps" in real time.


        Not just an external control center, but a mark in the viser with coordinates and performance characteristics

                    Their heads have one device principle.

                      Yes, the principle is the same, the solutions are different. Verba has a three-band head, I wrote specifically about the Arrow, Willow and their heads and how to distinguish them in the photo. I propose to end our intellectual dialogue on this. smile

    "Verba" is a rather mysterious weapon. At first, the height of targets up to 5000 m was laid down in its performance characteristics, but then it was significantly reduced. Also GOS is multispectral with AI elements. After this data ceased to appear. So is this a superweapon that we don't talk about, or...?

      At first, its performance characteristics included target heights up to 5000 m, but
      .... well, waxing 5000 is theoretically possible even on the Needle, the angle of inclination of the launcher only needs to be taken into account ..... in any case, a lot of aircraft were removed from the Eagle in the massacre of the 15th year from 4000 meters from the roofs of houses .. and here ... ep .. fired and the rocket went where it needed to ... all the more evil tongues say that Verba already has three ranges in the IR spectrum and one in the UV ... more and more serious for the enemy

        Not quite
        GOS missiles - the following passive three-spectral, it works in the near and middle infrared, as well as in the ultraviolet ranges,

         According to the manufacturer, by increasing the sensitivity of the homing head, the area of ​​capture and destruction of typical air targets has increased by 2,5 times compared to the previous Igla-S MANPADS

        Valery Kashin, General Designer of JSC NPK KBM, in an interview with Independent Military Review. Kashin also noted that the Strela-2 MANPADS had one receiver (platform), the Igla had two sites, the Verba had nine photodetector sites,

          nine photodetector sites,
          ... it’s not entirely clear what the site for this MANPADS means ... but even those 4 bands are enough to be an extremely dangerous asymmetric warfare complex

            those 4 ranges are enough

            Once again - 3x, (three), 2 in IR + UV.
            .it is not entirely clear what the site means

            In the GOS of the first generation there was only 1 photodetector, in Igla there were already 2 photodetectors, each for its own spectrum, in Verba there were already 9 such photodetectors, 3 for each spectrum. This is not a matrix yet, but it already increases sensitivity, and, most importantly, noise immunity.

              ..... well, the whole generation waxes from Strel to Verb, a deeply cooled seeker and a matrix IR in any way .... I still don’t understand why the Mistral matrix MANPADS is so heavy that it can be called conditionally portable

                Ha.
                I remember when I was still an engineer, in our laboratory they made a thing with a matrix, it turned out to be the size of a good saucepan, and it heated up like a stove .... even in the wildest fantasy it was impossible to imagine in a wearable form.

      Did you accidentally confuse range with altitude? From the very beginning, as soon as the first information about the "Verba" appeared, there was information that the range was 6 km, the altitude was 3.5 km (at least that was the case in ALL serious publications).

    The missile can and does see non-contrasting targets, but the missile must be directed at them.

      The complexity of the problem is exactly the opposite. Both Gibki’s OLS and Harmon, and integration into the overall system will help to direct the missile, but whether the sensitivity of the seeker is enough to detect a target there, this is the most difficult task.

        Konstantin! I must tell you a great secret (only: t-s-s-s - not a word to anyone!): The fact is that ALL (without exception) domestic (and not only domestic) MANPADS (with a passive opto-electronic seeker) launch a rocket only after it (the target) is detected and captured by the GOS missile! Well, the task of the OELS "Bending" and the radar "Garmon" is just to orient the shooter or launcher in advance in the direction of the target and nothing more .... hi
        PS In some foreign air defense systems using missiles with passive optoelectronic seeker (mainly sea-based), the radio command method of guidance is also used at the initial stage (until the missile seeker locks on to the target). The same principle seems to be implemented on the domestic Redut air defense system (9M100 missile). But on MANPADS this method is usually NOT IMPLEMENTED !!!

          So I am exactly about this.
          There are enough assistants where to send the missile, but whether the missile itself can see and capture the target is the main problem.

      Pavel, did you mix anything up? If there is NO contrast, then HOW can a missile be aimed at a target ??? This is basically IMPOSSIBLE! From the word "generally"! Yes
      Another thing is a weak contrast: it is the ability to identify low contrast targets and highlight them against the background of interference and is and is one of the key parameters that determine the effectiveness of air defense systems! hi

    If simplified and without details, then the Verba MANPADS crews will be distributed over a large area in order to create the so-called "anti-drone dome". Anti-aircraft gunners will intercept enemy drones and guided aircraft munitions. Details are not disclosed.


    and before this exercise, all the calculations of MANPADS hung out in one place? mosquito journalists are talking nonsense, the place of air defense units in the battle formations of the ChiP has long been known.

    It is emphasized that the new missile MANPADS "Verba" has dramatically increased the capabilities of the complex to combat small drones. Compared to earlier versions of MANPADS, "Verba" is more noise-resistant, the missile does not respond to traps, and the operator does not need to track the launched missile, the complex operates on the principle of "fire and forget".
