The threat of ATACMS and Storm Shadow: how Russia can protect itself from Western missile strikes deep into the country

Buk-M3 SAM systems, S-350A Vityaz and S-300V4 will help

The Russian Armed Forces need to prioritize the expansion of mixed anti-aircraft missile brigades of the Aerospace Forces, covering defense industry enterprises, as well as sectors for the deployment of large airbases in response to the threat of strikes by ATACMS OTRK missiles of all modifications, as well as Storm Shadow. This was pointed out by military expert Evgeny Damantsev.

According to him, the priority is to deploy full-fledged 36-channel batteries of Buk-M3 air defense systems in missile-hazardous directions, dispersed on the ground at a distance of 25 - 35 km from each other to mutually overlap the 14-degree "dead funnels" above the 9S36M illumination radars of each self-propelled firing unit. Divisions of S-350A Vityaz and S-300V4, adapted to intercept ballistic targets at altitudes up to 35 km, are also needed.

For the interception of Storm Shadow and SCALP-EG, the S-400 air defense system, retrofitted with universal 48V6MD towers for the implementation of low-altitude target tracking modes with an RCS of 0.03 sq. m by 92N6 illumination radars and increasing the range of their radio horizon and the ability to function in a wooded landscape, remains the panacea.
