Modernized AGM-154E JSOW-ER and JDAM-ER Powered cruise missiles, as well as JSOW glide bombs, may appear on the front. The deployment of the S-350A Vityaz anti-aircraft missile system will be an effective defense against them, said military expert Evgeny Damantsev.
He noted that AGM-154E is based on the already gliding guided aerial bomb AGM-154C JSOW. The range of the prospective product varies from 400 to 500 km, the weight of the penetrating high-explosive or cluster warhead is up to 250 kg.
We may also be talking about JDAM-ER Powered tactical missiles, which are JDAM-ER gliding guided aerial bombs with small solid-propellant engines, radar altimeters, and GPS-correction radio navigation units. The range of these products can reach 300 km, the flight speed is up to 650 - 700 km/h.
Against this background, the start of deployment of multi-channel S-350A Vityaz SAM systems is extremely relevant, especially near large ammunition depots and airbases.
The S-350 Vityaz system was developed in the interests of air defense units of the Russian army with a maximum altitude of engagement of 30 km and a maximum target engagement radius of 60 km. The complex is designed to combat both ballistic and ballistic targets. One launcher of the complex is armed with 12 anti-aircraft missiles.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the characteristics of the newest Russian missile "Whirlwind-1" became known. The ammunition is guided to the target by a laser beam.
