Unique Ability of 3M55 Onyx and Kh-35U Missiles to Easily Overcome Enemy Air Defense Revealed

The reason is the low-altitude flight, due to which the illumination radars of SAM systems do not always cope with targeting

Russian low-altitude cruise missiles 3M55 Onyx and Kh-35U are able to confidently overcome the radiation patterns of numerous illumination radars of anti-aircraft missile systems at the front.

They move at an altitude of about 35-50 meters above the level of the ground.

Therefore, the radar homing heads of anti-aircraft missiles, in particular, the S-300PS complex, do not receive correct target illumination from ground-based 30N6 radars and "go into the milk".
