A few days ago, news appeared on the Web that Russian counterintelligence managed to disrupt the actions of foreign forces to gain access to the secret technologies of the "Kinzhal" missile for the MiG-31 fighter. Military experts explained what exactly makes the missile remarkable.
Systems of guidance
Dmitry Kornev, editor of the Militaryrussia portal, explained that the "Kinzhal" filling is interesting from the point of view of developing ways to counter guidance systems.
In order to create interference, you need to understand what exactly this interference is created for. They need to understand how the guidance system works and develop a set of measures to counter it. The missile itself is also of interest — the body, materials, engine. In addition, self-guidance, satellite navigation, and an inertial control system are also of interest to them.
Improve air defense equipment
Studying the device of the Russian missile would allow opponents to establish a counteraction system and improve their air defense systems (air defense), added military expert Yuri Lyamin.
If they could study in detail everything that is embedded in the Russian system, this might allow them to increase the effectiveness of air defense. In addition, they could study the secret communication and encryption systems that are installed on the aircraft.
What is known about "Kinzhal"
"Kinzhal" missile systems entered regular combat duty in the Aerospace Forces (VKS) in August 2022, but the missiles themselves first became known back in 2018. Despite this, there is still no official information about the combat system in the public domain.
It is known from open sources that the basis of "Kinzhal" is the aeroballistic missile 9M723 "Iskander-M". The compact projectile carries several types of warheads and can be launched at any initial speed and at any carrier altitude.
