Эксперт объяснил неспособность дронов «Гербера» имитировать крылатые ракеты Х-101 и Х-69

Low cost is one of the undeniable advantages of drones

Russian "Gerbera" drones are not capable of imitating strategic Kh-101 and tactical Kh-69 cruise missiles for enemy air defense systems, but they are effective due to their low cost. This was stated by military expert Evgeny Damantsev.

According to him, the mass-dimensional parameters, combined with the widespread use of composite materials in the architecture of gliders, provide the products with an effective reflecting surface of about 0.03 - 0.01 m², minimizing the detection range by means of detection radars and TRML-4D target designation of IRIS-T SLM complexes to 17 - 15 km.

In addition, the detection range of the "Gerbera" by German radar guidance systems of the "Skynex" anti-aircraft artillery systems, equipped with AHEAD programmable ammunition, is significantly reduced in difficult meteorological conditions.

Nevertheless, "Gerbera" drones are not capable of imitating strategic Kh-101 and tactical Kh-69 cruise missiles, since their flight speed is limited to 220 - 250 km/h, while the speed of the above-mentioned missiles varies in the range from 0.65 to 0.95M.
