British short-range SAM systems based on ASRAAM-IR high-maneuverability interceptor missiles mounted on a Supacat HMT chassis have been spotted on the front.
When using the latest versions of the AIM-132 ASRAAM air-to-air missile from ground launchers, the effective range can be 12-17 km, taking into account the presence of a dual-mode solid-propellant rocket motor.
As a result, ASRAAM-Supercat complexes disguised in forest plantations in the areas of column advancement can pose a serious threat to attack army aviation. Autonomous launchers with ASRAAM missiles have individual multispectral optoelectronic sighting systems.
Nevertheless, the "Rezet" AESA radars mounted on the Ka-52M reconnaissance and attack helicopters are quite capable of detecting the launchers of British SAM systems at a distance of up to 25-30 km, providing the crews with a "window" of low-altitude maneuver to exit the field of view of the optoelectronic sighting system.
Also, the modules of the "Vitebsk" optoelectronic complex with infrared-ultraviolet generators will always be able to provide counteraction to the acquisition path of the short- / medium-wave homing heads of the British ASRAAM-IR SAMs.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the US admitted the superiority of the Kornet ATGM over the American Javelin.
