British self-propelled air defense systems FV4333 "Stormer HVM" spotted in the Ugledar area

The Armed Forces of Ukraine deployed British Starstreak anti-aircraft missile systems based on the Stormer armored personnel carrier to the Ugledar region, one of the complexes with a white cross painted on board was removed while moving in this area.

SAM data rarely gets into the camera lens, since the UK delivered a small number of such systems to Ukraine. Information about the only delivery of six Stormer HVM self-propelled air defense systems appeared last spring, there were no more messages on this topic. Even if the British supplied some more of the same air defense systems, they did it secretly. So today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are armed with only six British anti-aircraft systems based on the Stormer chassis. But the transfer of ammunition for them was reported more than once.



The deployment of the Stormer HVM (High Velocity Missile) air defense system closer to the front may mean that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are very bad with army air defense, whose task is to cover units on the battlefield. This complex can pose a serious threat to army helicopters. aviation and attack aircraft actively supporting the offensive in the Ugledar area.

The self-propelled version of the air defense system is placed on the armored chassis "Stormer" (SP). Vehicle weight - 13 tons, speed - up to 80 km / h, crew - three people. The basis of the complex is the "Starstreak HVM" missile defense system with a warhead of three "darts" 0,45 meters long, 20 mm in diameter, weighing 900 grams, of which 450 grams each is PBX-98 plastic explosive. Each of the darts has its own laser beam control and guidance circuit, an armor-piercing core, an explosive charge and a thermopile.

The performance characteristics of Starstreak MANPADS: the range of targets to be hit is from 300 to 7000 m, the height of targets to be hit is up to 5000 m, the maximum speed of the rocket is more than 3 M, the length of the rocket is 1369 mm, the launch weight of the rocket is 14 kg. Warhead - three penetrating tungsten submunitions.

    "The transfer of the Stormer HVM (High Velocity Missile) air defense system closer to the front may mean that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are very bad with army air defense, whose task is to cover units on the battlefield." - but it may mean that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are going to attack somewhere. It's like looking.

      They have a shaft of stingers, apparently they don’t reach our planes. with Hephaestus you can bomb from 5-6t meters.

        Our SU-25/35s fly midgets there, almost hitting trees.
        For the S-300 is more terrible for them than the Stinger.

          Probably meant the range and speed of the rocket. At Stinger, they are 1,5-2 times smaller. Also 3 rods in the rocket.
          (The aiming range of the Stinger is 500-4750 m (according to other sources up to 4800 m), and in height up to 3500 m (according to other sources up to 3800 m). The maximum rocket speed is Mach 2,54 (750 m / s)).

            The S-300 in the latest Soviet modification reaches aerodynamic targets (i.e. aircraft) at a distance of up to 100 km. This, to put it mildly, is not 2 times less than that of the Stinger. Are you sure you don't confuse him with "Wasp"?

              It was a comparison between Starstreak and Stinger MANPADS.

                Understood. You should have written about it right away.

    This is bad, if earlier they took care of this one, now there are more and more lights.
    It's like with cockroaches and rats, while there are few of them, he can see them, but how the hell,they start to catch the eye

    Everything in the lesson with technology is apparently lousy.

    Judging by the characteristics - such a normal army air defense system, for some reason it was not heard about the destruction of these complexes.

    Well, that's okay! Our defense will build more helicopters to replace those shot down. The Ministry of Defense will train pilots to replace those killed. There is a lot of money and people in Russia! Instead of destroying or at least for a long time putting out of action the delivery routes for foreign military equipment, the General Staff and the Kremlin prefer that Russian fighters face this very equipment on the battlefield.

    We still do not know the goals of the NWO.
    1. For the economy, a hard blow to the bridges-tunnels of 404 countries would be fatal, especially in winter, but this has not been done in the summer and now. And it is not clear what they are pulling.
    2. A nuclear weapons strike is also possible, but the Americans are just waiting for this. The USSR did not let them swing a nuclear club, then they were distracted by looting, now they need a precedent for use from any country. India and Pakistan did not get along. And if they themselves even voice a threat, the whole world will take up arms against them, even their own. So banderlogs were launched.
    3. There is an option that we play along with the amers against Europe. China is not yet in the subject. But this is too subtle, if I don’t answer for two days, then I guessed right. For they supply Banderastan to a minimum, throw clean firewood so that the fire does not go out. Therefore, our losses are at a minimum, they are building a zaluzhny to attack.

    "They were transferred to the Ugledar region" .... And when they were "transferred" across the border, did everyone go blind? Or everyone on the drum??
