Russia has modernized the Iskander-M ballistic missiles and Kh-47M2 Kinzhal to bypass the radars of the American Patriot surface-to-air missile system (SAM). Now, the munitions fly towards the target along a new trajectory, inaccessible for interception.
Initially, the missiles fly along a standard ballistic trajectory, and then transition into a steep dive or perform sharp maneuvers, which complicates the operation of guidance and interception algorithms, military analysts explained.
This scheme demonstrates that Iskanders have proven themselves as a flexible platform for further improvements and, with proper modernization, can remain relevant for many years.
In the case of Patriot, it turned out that the software and basic capabilities of the SAM system are tailored for predictable flight profiles of known types of missiles. The new trajectories take it out of its usual operating mode.
Information appeared in the media that by the end of 2025, the Russian industry will transfer to the military about 2,500 missiles of various classes and basing, including Iskanders and Kinzhals.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the manufacturer of the S-500 Prometey SAM system demanded almost 300 million rubles from the Saratov Aggregate Plant.
