Air defense on the Russian borders is provided by Buk-M1 anti-aircraft missile systems. The head of the crew of one of the self-propelled firing units with the call sign Kuznet revealed the features of the system's combat mode of operation in a missile-hazardous direction.
According to him, in order to minimize the number of radio-emitting means, the Buk platoons or batteries deployed on the front line are usually not supplemented by the 9S18M1 Kupol-M1 detection radar operating in continuous scanning mode.
The early parabolic illumination radar 9S35M1 is single-channel. This means that one self-propelled unit can intercept only one 227-mm GMLRS rocket, while the 9A317 of the Buk-M2 complex can intercept up to 4 targets, and the 9A317M of the Buk-M3 complex can intercept up to 6 targets simultaneously.
The crew detects 227-mm guided rockets at a distance of about 15 km, and UAVs of the Lyuty type up to 25 km.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Russian military received the Obereg body armor. It was tested with a burst from a Pecheneg machine gun, but it did not receive a through penetration.
