A military expert named Russian missiles the most difficult anti-aircraft missiles

On February 24, the Russian occupiers attacked the peaceful territory of Ukraine with Kalibrami, Iskanderami, Tochkou-U, X-101, X-22 and other missiles. In total, the enemy released more than 3,000 different rockets.

Among all the missiles produced by the Russian Federation, the most complex is “Iskander-M”. Intercepting ballistic targets is a difficult task. What’s more, they were created to add even specialized anti-air defense to the North Atlantic Alliance. A military expert and editor-in-chief Defense Express told about it Oleg Katkov in “24 Kanalu” comments.

“It has high speed and attacks as high as possible, with an angle of fall of 80-90 degrees. This means that even if it is damaged, it will still hit the target. If the cruise missile is damaged: wing, fuel system or engine, then it will fall far from the targets. A ballistic missile is already falling on the target,” Vin explained.

But it is not easier to shoot down other enemy Russian missiles, the expert noted. Russians in war use missiles for the S-300 anti-aircraft missile complex.

“For the specification of the S-300, it is about 40 kilometers. It is a radio horizon range to bring the missile to a certain area of ​​territory or a target. However, they are used for a range of 110-120 kilometers. That is, without controlling it on the last part of the flight. They are forced to throw it somewhere at an altitude of one or two kilometers. That is, it will fly 110 kilometers and at an altitude of approximately one kilometer it loses control and simply falls, because it did not fly”, Katkov emphasizes.

It is also worth noting that this accuracy allows you to beat Mykolaiv or Kharkiv. That’s why the Russian occupiers strike with a non-specialized missile to terrorize the population.
