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 where large airbases are located, 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 Yevgeny Damantsev.
According to him, the priority is to deploy full-fledged 36-channel batteries of Buk-M3 SAM 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 intercepting Storm Shadow and SCALP-EG, the S-400 SAM system, retrofitted with universal 48V6MD towers to implement low-altitude target tracking modes with an RCS of 0.03 sq. m by 92N6 illumination radars and increase the range of their radio horizon and ability to function in forested terrain, remains the panacea.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the cruiser Admiral Nakhimov will be armed with four Pantsir-M SAM systems, Zircons and Kalibrs after leaving the repair yard.
