Footage has appeared online showing the arrival at a position and deployment of a four-channel 9S36 target illumination and guidance radar as part of the Buk-M2 military anti-aircraft missile system (SAM).
The radar antenna post was placed on an elbow-shaped tower about 22 m high, providing the ability to detect, track, and illuminate low-altitude targets over a forest landscape, as well as increasing the radio horizon range for targets at altitudes of 25 m to 40 km.
Military expert Evgeny Damantsev explained that such a tower increases the efficiency of 9A317 self-propelled firing units against low-observable cruise missiles such as the British Storm Shadow and French SCALP-EG by several orders of magnitude.
The hardware units of the Buk-M2 are covered with armor plates, providing spacing to defocus the cumulative jets of warheads placed on kamikaze drones.
Earlier www1.ru reported that a special automatic cartridge with buckshot against UAVs has been developed in Russia.
