Aviation complex "Dagger": about one of the Russian hypersonic missiles

9-A-7660 "Dagger" - hypersonic aviation a missile system that can undoubtedly be called one of the most formidable Russian weapons. The 9-S-7760 missile has a combat weight of 500 kg.

It is worth noting that one of the Kinzhal’s trump cards, if you do not take into account hypersound, is its highest accuracy. The permissible deviation from the specified value, according to the developer, does not exceed one meter.

Systems such as GLONASS, AWACS and the munition head itself can be used to guide the missile.

However, the main feature of this weapons, as mentioned above, is the speed with which it moves towards the target. The rocket can accelerate to incredible speeds of over Mach 10.

But that's not all. Ammunition is an extremely difficult target for air defense systems. Its destruction range is up to 3000 km, which means that it is almost impossible to hit it on the initial trajectory when the launch is made.

At the same time, the altitude of the missile’s flight path, reaching 50 km along the aeroballistic trajectory and up to 100 km along the ballistic trajectory, excludes its defeat in the middle section.

Thus, it is theoretically possible to shoot down the Kinzhal at the final stage of the flight. However, in this case it is worth considering the speed with which the ammunition dives almost vertically onto the target.

Theoretically, the American Patriot MIM-104 air defense system with the MIM-104C/D/E missile defense system can cope with this task. Earlier in Kyiv they announced that they were able to shoot down a Kinzhal using such a complex, but evidence to this day has not been provided.

The Kinzhal is carried by the MiG-31K, a supersonic, all-weather, high-altitude, long-range fighter-interceptor specially upgraded for these purposes.

Also, theoretically, these missiles can be carried by Tu-22 (4 ammunition) and Tu-160 (8 ammunition) bombers.

“Dagger” in this case can be used as a carrier of a nuclear warhead.

What kind of technical nonsense is this?

What's the big deal? Justify!

The fact is that at a speed of Mach 10, 3 km/s, the rocket can only fly at high altitude in rarefied air. When moving into denser layers of the atmosphere around a rocket flying at such a speed, a so-called plasma cocoon. How can a missile track its location and the location of its target? No way. The only option for using this missile at such speeds is only against stationary objects according to the included program. She simply will not see the maneuvering target. Or she will have to slow down to an acceptable Mach 3-4. But then it can already be hit by ship/object air defense.

At such speeds it is impossible to hit the target with high accuracy! There the QUO is at least 60-100 meters! Who are these tales told to?

[awdrgy]

If you don’t know how to do it so that there is high accuracy, then perhaps science is not your thing?

[nobody75]

And how much filth the forum members poured out on this complex! Remember?

The 9-S-7760 missile has a combat weight of 500 kg.

The author is clearly off topic. I admit that the warhead weighs 500 kg, but the entire missile weighs more.

Yes, Ukraine doesn’t even need a patriot, they are guaranteed to shoot down missiles with jars of cucumbers and in quantities even greater than were launched.

How long ago did schoolchildren start writing articles on VO...?

The 9-S-7760 missile has a combat weight of 500 kg.

500 kg is the mass of the warhead - the warhead, and not the entire missile.

Systems such as GLONASS, AWACS and the munition head itself can be used to guide the missile.

How does the “munition head itself” guide the missiles to the target..??? What is this “ammunition head” anyway...??? VO is degrading with articles like this....

Man, tell me better about the rifleman. When I heard about the mass of the rocket being 500 kg and about the roof of the plane, I cursed, and when I heard about the altitude of tens of thousands of kilometers, I simply closed the video and couldn’t stand it.
