Traps for radars: RF Armed Forces modernize missiles to bypass Ukrainian air defense - expert

According to Valery Romanenko, enemy rockets after detection of air defense systems shoot false goals that create obstacles to radars. Thus, the rocket becomes invisible for a while. Russian engineers began to modernize rockets in order to bypass Ukraine's air defense. To do this, the rockets are equipped with special traps, which for a while blind the air defense.

On February 27, Aviation expert Valery Romanenko told about how the Russians want to increase the effectiveness of their means of destruction in an interview with RBC-Ukraine. The expert said that on February 10, the Ukrainian military found in one of the X-101 missiles with traps, which is designed to combat the radars of the air defense systems.

When the rocket enters the area of ​​detection of the radar station of Ukrainian SPRs, the block captures the detection and automatically shoots false goals - dipole, which create obstacles to radars. "The rockets have a signal if she caught the radiator signal, it shoots 2-3 traps that form a cloud. And it is not visible for several minutes behind this curtain," Romanenko explained.

The expert added that for a while, the hostile rocket is out of the visibility of the air defense until the new radar revealed it again. According to him, the new modernization complicated the tracking of rockets. It is believed that the data on fake goals during the rocket strike on February 16 is just the results of the trap. We will remind, Russian invaders on February 16 struck a rocket strike in Ukraine, applying a new tactic of shelling.
