For the Russian army to successfully overcome enemy air defense systems, it needs to increase its situational awareness on and above the battlefield. This was stated by military expert Sergei Marzhetsky.
According to him, it is necessary to increase the number of "Sych"-type radars on various platforms, from high-altitude strategic reconnaissance UAVs to standard Su-34s.
Marzhetsky noted that there is a technical possibility to acquire a significant number of functional analogues of the Israeli Harop and Harpy. They can be developed on the basis of the Geran family of drones, which have already undergone a major evolution. Initially, they flew at low altitudes one way only along pre-set coordinates.
Then, high-speed versions made of composite materials with a jet engine appeared. Now, they are equipped with обзорные video cameras, and it has become possible to adjust the course online. Only one last logical step remains before installing a homing head from serially produced anti-radar missiles.
Dozens of anti-radar "Geraniums" launched into the sky with jet or propeller engines will force air defense systems to sit quietly, as if they do not exist, clearing the way for manned aircraft.
In addition, if the enemy tries to exchange its SAM system for a Russian fighter, it makes sense to creatively rework the American experience with "Wild Weasels." In this case, the super-maneuverable Su-30SM fighter will act as a "decoy duck," and anti-radar "Geraniums" and the radar-invisible Su-57 with anti-radar missiles will be the hunters.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russian soldiers tested the Leopard-2A4. The German tank will still serve in battles.
