Despite the impressive power of the 3M14T "Kalibr-NK" strategic cruise missiles, these strike tools remain quite vulnerable to modern anti-aircraft missile systems such as IRIS-T SLM, SAMP-T, and IR-ASRAAM. This was pointed out by military expert Evgeny Damantsev.
He explained that "Kalibrs" are unable to perform intensive anti-aircraft maneuvers due to their limited speed of 950 km/h, as well as an effective reflecting surface of 0.1 m².
Therefore, for breaking through echeloned anti-missile barriers, it is more advisable to use hypersonic aeroballistic missiles Kh-47M2 "Kinzhal" and air-launched cruise missiles Kh-101, which, despite their subsonic flight speed, have a much smaller effective reflecting surface within 0.01 m².
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Russian "queen of infantry" BMP-2 received the universal combat module "Berezhok".
