Russian experts on the new Ukrainian air-launched anti-tank complex
Luch Design Bureau (Ukraine) published a video with tests of the “new Barrier-V” anti-tank missile system for Mi-24 helicopters, ”which includes the latest rocket, millimeter 130 caliber, reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
According to the developers, the rocket "is capable of penetrating armor at a distance of seven kilometers tank 800 millimeters thick. ”
Russian experts, however, expressed doubt both in its effectiveness and in the fact that the new ammunition is very different from Soviet developments.
“Most likely, this rocket is a modified Soviet rocket of the Sturm complex, operating at the same frequencies and following the same pattern,” said military expert Dmitry Drozdenko.
He believes that "Ukraine presented this project as a new development in the hope of selling at least a few copies."
“The main reason why the Barrier will not be in demand in foreign markets is that the new rocket cannot counter the active defense of modern tanks, in particular, complexes similar to the Russian Arena, which simply will not allow the Barrier to fly to the car, ”said the expert.
Reserve Colonel Mikhail Khodarenok: “Recently, loud claims have often been made in Ukraine that their defense industry has created a fundamentally new weapon, but in the end it turns out that this is nothing more than an attempt to pass the desirable for reality. ”
