Unstoppable Iskanders and Kinzhals: NASAMS SAM System with AN/MPQ-64F1 Radar Proved Too Slow for Them

Capable of performing anti-aircraft maneuvers with significant overloads

NATO has NASAMS-2/3 anti-aircraft missile systems with AN/MPQ-64F1 multi-functional radar stations. The system is capable of processing 36 air targets in 12 seconds at altitudes up to 50 m, with a maximum flight speed of the latter up to 3600 km/h.

However, these battery data can be easily disabled by strikes from 9M723-1 Iskander-M/1000 operational-tactical quasi-ballistic missiles, as well as Kh-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles.

In the terminal section of the trajectory, they are capable of performing anti-aircraft maneuvers with overloads of 25 - 30 g at a flight speed of up to 4000 km/h, while to intercept these targets, the available overloads of the anti-missile should reach 60 g, and for the ER-AMRAAM launcher they do not exceed 35-40 g.

At the same time, to break through the anti-missile barrier formed by two Patriot PAC-3MSE SAM batteries, it will require the use of a detachment of 7-10 Iskander-M and Kinzhal missiles.

Earlier www1.ru reported that the Arkhangelsk nuclear submarine with hypersonic Kalibr and Onyx missiles will join the Navy in December.
