According to him, under certain conditions, even the Pantsir anti-aircraft complex with a range of 40 km can work on them.

We can shoot down the missile with various anti-aircraft missile systems: S-300PMU-2, S-400, S-350 "Vityaz". And I'm not even talking about S-500 "Prometey" and "Buk-M2".

The Crossbow has a flight range of over 800 km and carries a 300 kg warhead.

The missile does not have a complex folding wing design or an expensive "stealth" body shape, which makes it quite accessible for destruction by the complexes presented by Knutov.
