The 9M723-1 quasi-ballistic missiles of the Iskander-M operational-tactical missile systems (OTRK) proved invulnerable to the western-made IRIS-T SLM and NASAMS anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM). This was reported by military expert Evgeny Damantsev.
According to him, attention should be paid to the terminal sections of the trajectories of Iskander-M missiles with a characteristic dive at angles of more than 80 degrees at a speed of 900-1050 m/s.
IRIS-T SLM and NASAMS SAM systems with small elevation angles of the beams of mobile radar stations (radar) MPQ-64F1 and TRML-4D (no more than 30 degrees), limited to a speed of 900-1000 of the targets hit, could not oppose anything to Iskander-M.
Features of the Iskander-M OTRK:
- missile flight altitude — 50 km
- missile range — 500 km
In the final section of the trajectory, the missile goes into a steep dive and hits the target, the deviation from the point of impact does not exceed a meter. This accuracy is ensured by inertial and optical guidance systems.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Su-30 fighter overshadowed the Superjet SJ-100 in the test flight video.
