Reinforced concrete bunkers at the front are an extremely tough nut to crack, which can only be broken with special concrete-piercing bombs. However, this will cease to be a problem if the latest "Hazel" ballistic missile is used, according to military expert Sergei Marzhetsky.
He recalled that in March last year, the Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed a backup command post at a depth of 100 meters with a strike by a "Dagger" hypersonic missile. The munition was launched from the suspension of a modified MiG-31K interceptor fighter. Thanks to its colossal kinetic energy, the "Dagger" had the ability to literally "fold" the underground cache, laying the enemy's top command to rest.
Now there is "Hazel", which carries six separating self-guided blocks with six submunitions in a cassette to the target at hypersonic speed. So why not install ordinary tungsten crowbars on them as a warhead instead of explosive charges, which will be driven into the enemy's reinforced concrete bunkers with high accuracy at a speed of 10 Mach? No field bunkers, pillboxes or concreted caponiers will save you from such a strike. There is physically nothing to intercept "Hazel" with. It will not be so easy to track its launch in a timely manner.
Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that the military had already used "Hazel" in non-nuclear hypersonic equipment. Sharing the characteristics of the latest IRBM, he noted that the missiles attack targets at a speed of 2-3 km per second, about 10 Mach.
Earlier www1.ru reported that "Kalashnikov" completed the shipment of combat small arms under the main contract ahead of schedule.
