The defeat of Russian air defense. How do Harm rockets work
Despite the fact that on August 4, no air defense system was destroyed according to our official reports, it is obvious that the enemy missed a sudden powerful blow. When using HARM, this does not look exaggerated, such a "pogrom" is quite possible, since earlier the Radiolocation missiles of the Armed Forces did not use, and the Russian radars worked almost without obstacles.
Therefore, the effect of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces got absolute - I hope that we will once hear about the details of this operation, which had worth Russia's equipment for hundreds of millions of dollars and losses of personnel. Judging by the fact that the fragments of the rocket in a released photo belong to the tail part, and the place of hit is not shown, it is obvious that HARM was accurately struck by the Russian radar.
The combat part of the rocket has a non -contact blast, it consists of thousands of ready debris, and obviously, the rocket exploded as it should be, where it should be. Anti -radial missiles are one of the most secreted weapons, since the characteristics of air defense systems are one of the greatest secrets. Delivery of HARM missiles to Ukraine means that our allies trust our most up -to -date weapons without restrictions. This is the highest level of admission.
The HARM rocket is tuned to radar radiation, adjusts to any frequency, and can either be programmed in advance to defeat a specific type of radars, or run into the enemy's air defense area to search and damage the radars. The rocket itself does not give any active radiation, it cannot be noticed by means of radio electronic intelligence, only the radar can dare. But it is difficult to intercept the rocket because it is small in size and speed of 2.
2 thousand km per hour, that is, the attack and search for goals are very fast. If the enemy turns off the radar, it will not save him - Harm remembers the radar radiation coordinates, and still flies to the chosen purpose. The missile warhead is 66 kg, contains up to 12,000 striking elements, so it is guaranteed to destroy the radar and causes losses to calculations and all objects around.
Because HARM missiles are used from NATO aircraft, the Russian BMPD blog believes that the missiles used by the Armed Forces from terrestrial launches. We do not currently have information about how HARM missiles work in the Armed Forces.
But we can say confidently that now the efficiency of Ukrainian UAVs and HIMARS will increase significantly, since the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are now deprived of the ability to form a dense radar field in the operative-tactical zone because and the anti-aircraft missile control complexes of the Russian Federation, which are switched on to combat Himars, can be affected by themselves.
Massive HARM Start - 20-30 rockets at the same time - is able to completely destroy the Russian air defense by hundreds of kilometers of the front, and allow to work freely to all types of our missile systems and many UAVs. Now the Russians will have to significantly increase the number of anti-aircraft missile complexes and radars to cover important objects with several echelons, and constantly maneuver their own air defense forces.
Now the amount of work of air defense facilities from one point will be reduced, they will be forced to constantly change the position after switching on the radars. That is, the Russian army is now forced to use much more power, to spend much more resources and people, and at the same time it does not guarantee the protection of objects from the defeat, and to protect against the defeat of the Russian pm.
Of great operational importance is the fact that Ukraine has received temporary control over air in certain areas of the front. Now our UAVs will be able to act in those areas where Russian SPRs have worked tightly and hunted for any quadcopter. Of course, all this requires appropriate tactics. You can now clear the air from Russian radars, and then adjust the fire with a stork or Fly Eye. Earlier, the Armed Forces have been used anti -radiolocation missiles in a combat environment.
The new state -of -the -art weapon gives the Armed Forces new great opportunities in the destruction of Russian invaders. The highest opportunities in the Armed Forces will occur after the supply of F-16 fighters with controlled bombs of the JDAM type. The air defense group will be able to knock down with HARM radar (starting from the aircraft from 110 to 150 km), and then the fighters will be able to fly 30-40 kilometers to the front and accurately impress many targets on Earth.
Our MiG-29 and Su-25 equipment is now possible for sighting complexes for the use of Turkish-managed QFAB airbots, as Azerbaijan did. Fronting the front sky from Russian radars will allow you to use aviation from medium heights and a considerable distance from the front edge, and stop the very risky and not always effective use of uncontrollable bombs and missiles from small distances and low heights. HARM missiles open up significant prospects for the Armed Forces.
