Dagger anti-aircraft missile system specifications. Aviation missile system “Dagger. Dagger - anti-aircraft missile system

“Russia remains the largest nuclear power. Nobody listened to us, listen now, ”- with these words, Vladimir Putin announced the creation of new models of superweapons during a message to the Federal Assembly. The site has collected the most important samples, which were described by the Russian president.

Vanguard

The Avangard complex, capable of deep maneuvering, both lateral and in height, absolutely invulnerable to any air defense and missile defense systems, is not science fiction, but a real-life model of weapons that has entered serial production.

Vladimir Putin said that this is another type of strategic weapon of Russia: “The use of new composite materials allowed us to solve the problem of long-term controlled flight of the planning winged block in almost plasma formation conditions. He goes to the goal almost like a meteorite. Like a burning ball, like a fireball. The temperature on the surface of the product reaches 1600−2000 degrees Celsius. The winged unit is reliably controlled. ”

The Russian president also noted that due to the great secrecy, it was not possible to show the image of the "Vanguard".

Perhaps this is a hypersonic warfare (object 4202, product 15Y71), information about which was previously leaked to the media. The maximum speed of the warhead is 15 Mach numbers, and most of its flight passes at an altitude of about 100 km.

Jane’s analysts believe that the U-71 hypersonic device developed as part of the secret program “Object 4202” has already been tested more than once - launches were carried out in December 2011, September 2013, in 2014 and in February 2015.

Sarmat

Nuclear missiles still remain the trump card in the sleeve of generals of the world's leading armies.

Once such a trump card for the Soviet military was the Voyevoda missile system, which in the West was nicknamed “Satan” for its terrifying firepower. In modern Russia, an even more powerful weapon was created, which, unlike the Voivode (flight range 11 thousand km), has no range limitations.

Putin said that “Sarmat” is capable of attacking targets both through the North and South Poles: “With a weight of over 200 tons, it has a short active flight section, which makes it difficult to intercept missile defense; the range of the new heavy missile, the number and power of warheads is greater than that of the Voivode. The warhead is equipped with a wide range of high-power nuclear warheads, including hypersonic ones, and the most advanced anti-missile defense systems. ”

Hypersonic weapons

Putin has confirmed the presence of hypersonic weapons. “Russia has such weapons. Already there, ”said the president. One of such developments is already known for certain - this is the Zircon rocket, the speed of which on the march reaches 8 Machs (approximately 9792 km / h).

Zircon missiles can be launched from 3C14 universal launchers, which are also used for Caliber and Onyx missiles.

“Zircons” will arm the Russian nuclear super cruisers “Peter the Great” and “Admiral Nakhimov”. Firing range "Zircon", according to open, is about 400 kilometers.

Nuclear Dagger

According to Putin, from December 1, 2017, in the Southern Military District, the unique dagger “Dagger” hypersonic aircraft-missile complex took up duty.

“The unique flight performance of a high-speed carrier aircraft allows delivering a rocket to a drop-off point in a matter of minutes, while a rocket flying at a hypersonic speed exceeding the speed of sound by 10 times also maneuvers in all parts of the flight path. It also allows her to overcome all existing and, I think, promising air defense and missile defense systems, delivering nuclear and conventional warheads to the target at a distance of up to two thousand kilometers, ”the Russian president said.

Nuclear weapon underwater drone

Putin called this development “just fantastic.” According to him, a unique underwater vehicle capable of moving at great depths has been created in Russia.

“I would say, at a very great depth and at intercontinental range, at a speed that is several times higher than the speed of submarines, the most modern torpedoes and all types of even the fastest surface ships,” he emphasized.

Such an apparatus can be equipped with both conventional and nuclear munitions, therefore it is capable of destroying a wide range of targets: from infrastructure to aircraft carrier groups. The Russian president said that the multi-year test cycle of an innovative nuclear power plant to equip this autonomous uninhabited apparatus was completed in December 2017.

Putin emphasized that the nuclear installation is small in size: with a volume one hundred times smaller than that of modern nuclear submarines, it has more power and two hundred times less time to enter combat mode.

In the end, the politician summarized that, according to the test results, it was possible to start creating a fundamentally new type of strategic weapon equipped with high-power nuclear ammunition.

Most likely, Putin spoke of underwater nuclear weapons under the name “Ocean-6 Multipurpose System“ Status-6 ”. Part of the Status-6 system is an unmanned underwater robot, which is a giant deep-sea high-speed torpedo with a nuclear warhead. Its range is 9977 km, maximum speed 56 knots. Not so long ago, its existence was the Pentagon.

Weapons of which nothing is known

In his speech, Vladimir Putin also spoke about the development of such new types of strategic weapons that generally do not use ballistic flight paths when moving towards a target, which means that anti-missile defense systems are useless and simply meaningless in their fight.

How it looks and what kind of weapon it is is not known, one can only be lost in conjecture, given the highest level of secrecy.

Another super secret was the small-sized, heavy-duty nuclear installation, which can be placed in a cruise missile, which will provide the latter with an almost unlimited flight range and invulnerability from air defense and missile defense systems.

“A low-flying, inconspicuous cruise missile carrying a nuclear warhead, with an almost unlimited range, an unpredictable flight path and the ability to bypass intercept lines is invulnerable to all existing and promising missile defense and air defense systems,” Putin said.

Weapons on new physical principles

Vladimir Putin also touched on the subject of weapons created on new physical principles. According to him, significant results have been achieved in the creation of laser weapons, and this is not just a theory or projects, and not even just the start of production.

“Since last year, combat laser systems have already entered the troops. I do not want to go into details in this part, just not the time. But experts will understand that the presence of such combat systems expands Russia's capabilities in the field of its security, ”said the Russian president.

1960s in our country and abroad, the first ship-borne low-altitude anti-aircraft missile systems were developed - Osa-M, Sea Sparrow, Sea Ket and Sea Wolf, which forced once again to reconsider the tactics of naval aviation.
  Earlier, the Americans, relying on overwhelming superiority in surface ships, rested on the laurels of their victories in the war in the Pacific Ocean and hoped to drown the ships of the probable enemy by aircraft strikes with conventional, unguided weapons.

By the early 1970s equipping the Soviet fleet with anti-aircraft missile weapons, its rapid quantitative growth, and access to continuous military service in the Mediterranean Sea and other parts of the World Ocean forced the Americans to consider it as a serious enemy. They had to equip the aircraft with guided missile and bomb weapons, i.e. to a certain extent catch up with the Soviet naval aviation that has already become rocket-bearing. This was also facilitated by the experience of the Vietnam War that was in those years, which showed that effective destruction of even stationary small-sized objects is achievable only with the use of guided weapons. And the ships, not only are they moving, but also energetically maneuvering under the threat of a bomb attack. In addition to the possibility of hitting a target with one or two ammunition, the transition to guided weapons provided at least the relative safety of its carriers. The launch was carried out with removal exceeding the effective range of not only anti-aircraft artillery, but also self-defense missile systems.

In addition, also in the “race for the Soviets” regime, ship cruise missiles were created abroad, the most common of which were Exoset and Harpoon. Unlike their Soviet counterparts, they were characterized by small dimensions and weight, which allowed them to gradually equip almost all new ships of the United States and its allies, starting with corvettes and frigates.

In the 1970s the most urgent task of the developers of anti-aircraft missile systems was the creation of air defense systems for the destruction of not so much aircraft as guided weapons (precision weapons). As targets, they possessed certain specificity in comparison with piloted aircraft. Firstly, the effective scattering surface was reduced by one or two orders of magnitude compared to airplanes due to the small size and purity of the external forms of missiles. Secondly, the absence of a pilot on board made it possible to take a greater risk and reduce the flight altitude to several meters above the water surface. Thirdly, the deployment of several guided weapons on board the carrier aircraft increased the number of targets simultaneously attacking the ship, compared with the direct bomb attack assault.

In general, guided weapons were, if not invulnerable, then at least extremely complex targets for previously developed systems, which could no longer provide reasonable protection for the ship.

The need for a similar complex to protect against precision weapons was also recognized by the Ground Forces. As with the development of Osa and Osa-M, it was considered expedient to create for both types of the Armed Forces the most unified complexes with a single anti-aircraft missile.

By a resolution of the party and government of February 4, 1975, the development of the Tor air defense system for the ground forces and the dagger for the navy was set. The head developer of the Tor complex, as before when creating the Wasp, was determined by the NIEMI (hereinafter - NPO Antey), and V.P. became the chief designer. Efremov. However, the NIEMI, which was extremely loaded with the most difficult work being carried out at the same time on the S-300V complex for the Ground Forces, did not begin to involve self-defense in the creation of the ship complex. This was entrusted to the organization that developed almost all of the naval air defense systems - the Altair Research Institute (chief designer - S.A. Fadeev). A single missile for both complexes was created at OKB Fakel (chief designer - PD Grushin).

The new systems have retained a number of feasible solutions implemented in the Osa air defense system - the use of cost-effective radio command guidance of missiles, the inclusion of both their own radar target reconnaissance systems, and the use of a tail unit that rotates relative to the longitudinal axis of the product. On the other hand, innovation was also required. The task of repelling sudden massive raids required providing extremely short reaction time and high fire performance of the complex. The technical means of fulfilling these tactical requirements are multichannel achieved through the use of a phased array antenna (PAR) in the guidance station, and the vertical launch of missiles. The implementation of the latter not only eliminated the time spent on reloading the launcher and turning it towards the next flying target, but also avoided all the design difficulties associated with the use of the launcher hiding under the deck in the Osa-M complex.

The 9M330 solid-fuel rocket was made according to the “duck” scheme and consisted of five compartments. The first compartment was a radio-transparent fairing made of AG-4V material.

At the front end of the second compartment, made of AMG-6 alloy, a radio fuse transmitter is mounted, the antenna of which is located under the cowl. In the front part of the compartment, the rudders and a block of four steering machines with a gas distribution system are mounted on a single board, and behind them is a block of hot gas sources, consisting of a gas generator and a gas-jet declination system.

The third compartment, also made of AMG-6, is used to accommodate on-board equipment, the elements of which (autopilot, radio call receiver, radio control unit, power supply) are mechanically connected by four longitudinal stringers into a monoblock, screwed to the compartment shell. To the right and left on the sides of the compartment are the receiving antennas of the radio fuse, above and below are the receiving and transmitting antennas of the radio control and radio visualization unit. Further in the compartment is a high-explosive fragmentation warhead with a safety-executive mechanism.

The fourth compartment is a dual-mode solid-fuel engine, the starting thrust of which is approximately four times higher than the thrust on the marching section. The engine housing is made of high-strength steel with a rolled shell and stamped bottoms. On the rear bottom, a seating surface is arranged under the inner ring of the fifth compartment bearing.

The fifth (tail) compartment is a wing unit with a power frame and a sheet of aluminum shell. As with the Osa-M missile system, the wing consoles are mounted on a bearing, which reduces perturbations from oblique blowing.

In the Dagger complex missile system, folding wing consoles are used, which, after exiting the container, are opened by torsion bars enclosed in cylindrical casings. In the transport position, the consoles are folded in pairs towards each other. The powder catapult is located outside the rocket body.
  Application of 9M330 is as follows. At launch, the rocket is ejected ejected vertically upward at a speed of about 25 m / s. The SAM is deflected by a predetermined angle, the magnitude and direction of which is introduced into the autopilot before launch, before the rocket engine is launched due to reactive force when the combustion products of the special gas generator expire through four two-nozzle gas distribution units installed at the base of the aerodynamic steering wheel. At the same time, missile control is provided through all three channels. The control force varies in proportion to the angle of rotation of the aerodynamic steering wheel. The combination of the aerodynamic steering wheel and the gas distributor into a single unit made it possible to exclude the use of a special drive for the declination system. The gas-dynamic device bends the rocket in the desired direction, and then, before turning on the solid-fuel engine, stabilizes it in the direction of the subsequent flight.

The rocket engine starts at an altitude of 16-21 m from the cutoff of the launch device by a command issued either after a predetermined one-second delay from the start, or when the axis of the rocket deviates from the vertical by an angle of more than 50 °. As a result, almost the entire thrust of the engine’s thrust is spent on giving the rocket speed in the direction of the target. The rocket speed reaches 700-850 m / s at a distance of 1.5 km from the start. The command guidance process begins with a range of 250 m. The missile is capable of practicing maneuvers with overloads of up to 30 units and affects targets maneuvering with overloads of up to 12 units. Due to the wide range of linear sizes of possible targets (from 3-4 to 20-30 m) and their movement parameters (from 10 to 6000 m in height and from 0 to 700 m / s in speed at a distance of up to 12 km) for optimal covering them with fragments of the warhead from the guidance station on board the missile, the value of the time delay of undermining the warhead with respect to the moment of operation of the radio fuse is given. The result is the defeat of aircraft in the center of the fuselage, elements of high-precision weapons - in the area of \u200b\u200bdeployment of the control system and warhead. At low altitudes, the selection of the underlying surface and the operation of the radio fuse only from the target are ensured.

The starting mass of the 9M330 missile is 165 kg (of which about 15 kg fall on the warhead); its length is 2.9 m, the diameter of the hull is 235 mm, the wingspan is 0.65 m.

The ship's multifunctional control system includes a missile guidance station ZR-95 and an air target detection system. The latter was developed by the Scientific Research Institute "Quantum" under the guidance of V.I. Gruzya on the basis of the shipborne all-round radar "Positive" created by this organization. The system allows you to detect targets at ranges up to 45 km. The antenna post includes two oppositely directed lattice parabolic antennas located on top of the antenna base housing. The circular rotation of the antenna post of the guidance station is provided.

The spherical body of the antenna base is stabilized to compensate for the side and pitching of the ship. On the sides of the case are rectangular containers with transmitter and receiver equipment, connected by truss for rigidity. In front of the containers is the equipment of television-optical sights, used as a backup means for tracking targets. A phased array, rocket and narrow beam capture antennas are fixed on the front of the case. The phased array antenna housing is manufactured using advanced technology using extruded and stamped plastic parts. The design of the drive provides limited rotation of the antenna base in a fairly wide range of heading angles.

The complex can fire up to four targets in the 60 × 60 ° sector, while simultaneously pointing up to eight missiles at them, including up to three missiles at one target. The reaction time is from 8 to 24 s. Radio-electronic means of the complex provide fire control of 30-mm anti-aircraft guns AK-630. The combat capabilities of the "Dagger" are 5-6 times higher than the corresponding performance of the Osa-M.

The use of a dual-processor digital computing complex provides a high degree of automation of combat work. The selection of the most dangerous target for the primary shelling can be carried out both automatically and at the command of the operator.

The below-deck launcher ZS-95, developed at Design Bureau "Start" under the guidance of A.I. Yaskin, includes several modules, each of which is a drum with eight transport-launch containers (TPK). The launcher cover can rotate about the vertical axis of the drum. The missile is launched after turning the launcher cover and supplying the hatch in it to the TPK with the missile intended for launch. The start-up interval does not exceed 3 s. Given the relatively small dimensions of the complex, such a solution seems unnecessarily complicated compared with the launch of missiles from containers placed in simpler cellular-type launchers later implemented on foreign fleets.

Initially, it was envisaged the creation of a dagger air defense system with mass and size characteristics that did not exceed those implemented in Osa-M. Moreover, the designers had to achieve the possibility of installing the complex instead of the Osa-M on previously constructed ships in the process of modernization repairs. However, the implementation of predetermined combat tactical and technical characteristics was considered a higher priority. Mass and size indicators were growing, so the succession of anti-aircraft missile systems "in places" could not be ensured.

This in itself was not so significant. Given the extremely weak ship repair base of the fleet and the reluctance of both the military and industry to divert shipbuilding plants for repairs due to the reduction in the number of new ships built, the possibility of a radical modernization of combat units that had already served the Motherland was rather abstract.

More serious consequences of the “growth” of the “Dagger” were expressed in the impossibility of placing it on small ships, although it could formally be installed on ships with a displacement of more than 800 tons. As a result, even on such an innovative ship as designed at TsMKB Almaz (chief designer - P.V. Yelsky, then - V.I. Korolkov) an air cushion rocket carrier with skegs of pr. 1239, it was necessary to install the same "Osu-MA". Ultimately, the Ose-M was replaced by the Dagger, rather than the Dagger, as the main means of protecting small ships.

The development of the “Torah” and “Dagger” proceeded significantly behind the original deadlines. As a rule, the land option used to be ahead of the ship one, as if paving the way for it. However, the creation of the autonomous self-propelled complex "Tor" revealed serious problems associated with the development of a combat vehicle. As a result, the joint flight tests of the Torah at the Embene training ground began even later than the Dagger on the Black Sea in December 1983, but ended in December of the following year. The air defense system was adopted by a decree of March 19, 1986, almost three years earlier than the ship.

The delay in the development of the land complex was an unpleasant circumstance, but its consequences were limited to the corresponding adjustment of the production program.

The factories instead of “Thor” for several more years let out even less perfect, but rather effective “Wasp”.

There was a much more piquant situation at sea. Since the end of 1980, the Navy commissioned annually one or two large anti-submarine ships, pr. 1155, the only anti-aircraft missile weapons of which were to be a pair of daggers with a total ammunition of 64 missiles. The delay in its development led to the fact that for more than five years these large ships remained almost defenseless from air strikes: by the end of the 20th century. artillery could no longer provide their cover from the effects of aviation. Moreover, the apparent absence of guidance stations at their designated places seemed to call on the enemy pilots to quickly and practically without any risk to themselves send our ships to the bottom.

True, at first the NATO experts did not understand such a scandalous situation and indulged in a riot of imagination, discussing in the press about the presence on our new ships of some super-promising, apparently invisible means of guiding anti-aircraft missiles. One way or another, the lead ship of pr. 1155 - the Udaloy BPC - had to wait almost a decade to wait for the Dagger to be adopted (after it entered service in 1980).

Due to the delay in developing an air defense system for two years, the MPK-104 small anti-submarine ship (building number 721), built according to project 1124K specifically for the “Dagger” test, could not be used for its intended purpose. It differed from its prototype, ship Prospect 1124M, not only in the natural lack of resources of the standard Osa-M air defense system. Too much weight and, more importantly, the high location of the multi-functional guidance station of the Dagger complex did not allow the installation of artillery weapons and all standard radars on it, which, however, was not so important for the experimental ship. The formal commissioning took place in October 1980, while the ship was only equipped with a launcher with three modules, but the guidance station was not yet delivered to the Black Sea. Subsequently, one of two prototypes of the complex manufactured in 1979 was mounted on MPK-104. Tests of air defense systems were conducted from 1982 to 1986 and were far from smooth. The system was not sufficiently debugged in ground conditions - at the stands of the Altair Research Institute and at its Bolshaya Volga test base. The debugging was mainly on the ship, in conditions not quite favorable for its implementation.

Once during the firing, the engine ejected by the catapult of the rocket did not turn on, which fell on the deck and fell into two parts. As for one half of the product, then, as they said, "she drowned." But the second part, with all its quiet behavior, caused quite reasonable fears. After this incident, I had to revise the basic technical solutions for starting the engine, which increased the reliability of this process. Another time, due to the “human factor” (due to uncoordinated actions of personnel and industry representatives), an unauthorized launch of missiles occurred. One of the developers, who was next to the launcher, barely managed to hide from the jet engine rocket.

Shortly before the completion of the tests in the spring of 1986, all four P-35 missiles used as targets, launched by a salvo of the coastal complex, were shot down quite spectacularly. However, only in 1989 the Dagger complex was officially adopted.

SAM "Dagger" ensured the defeat of targets flying at speeds of up to 700 m / s in the altitude range from 10 to 6000 m at ranges from 1.5 to 12 km.

The main carriers of the complex were supposed to be large anti-submarine ships, pr. 1155. Initially, this ship was conceived as a development of the guard patrol, pr. 1135, but by the time of laying it had turned into a BOD with twice as much displacement. It was assumed that the ships of Project 1155 will carry out anti-submarine missions together with the destroyers of Project 956, equipped with powerful strike and anti-aircraft missile weapons - the Moskit systems and the Uragan medium-range air defense system. Therefore, taking into account the restrictions on displacement, due to the capabilities of the factories, Pr. 1155 decided to equip the Dagger only with self-defense complexes. Each ship was equipped with two SAMs with a total ammunition of 64 9M330 missiles and two missile guidance stations ZR-95.

Head ships at the "Plant them. Zhdanova "and the Kaliningrad plant" Yantar "were laid in 1977 and went into operation almost simultaneously - in the last days of 1980. Since the development of the" Dagger "complex was thoroughly delayed, the acceptance of ships by the fleet was more than conditional. Several ships, up to the fifth in the series, surrendered without missile guidance stations.

Total at the "Plant them. Zhdanova ”in the fall of 1988, four ships were built under serial numbers 731 to 734: Vice Admiral Kulakov, Marshal Vasilevsky, Admiral Tributs, Admiral Levchenko.

Until the end of 1991, eight BODs were built at the Yantar Kaliningrad plant under serial numbers 111 to 117: Udaloy, Admiral Zakharov, Admiral Spiridonov, Marshal Shaposhnikov, Simferopol, Admiral Vinogradov, “Admiral Kharlamov”, “Admiral Panteleev”.

Over the years of service of the BOD, Project 1155, in general, have established themselves as reliable and efficient ships. It is significant that in the difficult period of the 1990-2000s. Of the 11 built BODs, only the first three ships built by the Kaliningrad plant and Marshal Vasilevsky were decommissioned, and most of the ships of Project 1155 are part of the fleet. At the same time, “Udaloy”, “Marshal Vasilevsky” and “Vice-Admiral Kulakov” did not receive the “Dagger” complex.

In addition to 12 large anti-submarine ships of pr. 1155 and one advanced ship built on pr. 11551 - “Admiral Chabanenko”, four “Dagger” complexes with 192 missiles were installed on the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser pr. 11434 “Baku” (since 1990 - “Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov”) and on the only aircraft carrier of our fleet pr.11435, which has changed many names and is now called the “Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov”. By the time these ships were designed, a common understanding was established among sailors and shipbuilders that ships of this class should carry only self-defense weapons, and air cover tasks at distant approaches should be solved by air defense systems installed on guard ships. Two Dagger complexes with eight launchers for 64 missiles were supposed to be installed as an auxiliary "anti-aircraft caliber" on the atomic heavy missile cruiser Project 11442 Peter the Great, but in fact the ship was equipped with only one antenna post.

One Dagger air defense system with 32 ammunition was placed on the ships of Project 11540 Ustrashimy and Yaroslav the Wise, officially assigned to patrol ships, but with a displacement and dimensions approximately corresponding to the BOD Pr.61, mass-built in the 1960s years

Thus, apart from the experimental MPK-104, only 36 dagger anti-aircraft missile systems (1,324 missiles) were installed on 17 ships of our fleet.

Since 1993, the export modification of the “Dagger” complex under the name “Blade” has been repeatedly shown at various international exhibitions and salons, but there is no information about its deliveries abroad.

Nevertheless, the “Dagger” air defense system has become one of the most perfect examples of Russian missile weapons that most fully meets the current conditions of air defense at sea. The relatively small range of the lesion is not its significant drawback.

Low-altitude targets, in the first place - guided weapons of destruction, will one way or another be detected at a short distance. As the experience of local wars testifies, their carriers, apparently, will only soar over the radio horizon for an extremely short period of time to clarify the location of the ship they are attacking and launch their missiles. Therefore, the defeat of carrier aircraft anti-aircraft systems of greater range seems unlikely. But sooner or later, missiles launched by aircraft will approach the target of the attack. And here all the advantages of one of the most perfect domestic anti-aircraft systems “Dagger” - the short reaction time, high fire performance, multichannel, effective action of the warhead with an adaptive mode of use for targets of various classes should fully manifest themselves.

One of the most interesting moments of the recent appeal of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin to the elite and the masses has become presentation of the latest weaponswho will soon embark on combat duty. As it turned out, one of them is already actively guarding the western borders of our homeland. Aviation Missile System (ARC) "Dagger"  - our guest today.

On March 11, 2018, the Russian Ministry of Defense published footage of the “combat training” launch of the “Dagger” rocket from the side of the MiG-31 carrier aircraft. This aircraft is unique in itself. In more detail about him, we told you in the context of developing the latest replacement for him under the name MiG-41. He is also called PAK-DP (Promising long-range interception aircraft complex).

As it turned out, it is impossible to suspend a high-altitude rocket under an ordinary plane. Even the stratospheric MiG-31, in its, including the anti-satellite version, is not capable of “working” with such an overall burden without additional design changes. The aircraft was finalized, the rocket was fixed and sent on combat duty.

Many users have noted a number of inconsistencies in the published video. Why was it necessary to “erode” the rocket elements on the ground and open them in the air? A number of experts, such as the BMPD blog, noticed on video one of the MiG RSK used as a flying laboratory of fighter instances. These facts may indicate the presence of a montage of a plot from several videos varying in shooting time up to several years.

Another important fact is the unique similarity of the latest “Dagger” and the relatively elderly operational-tactical complex “Iskander-E”. More precisely, missiles to it under the index 9M723. There is practically no visual difference between the two, and an increase of 70 cm in the length of the product can be caused by the installation of an aerodynamic fairing and a rocket nozzle discharged after separation from the carrier.

As for hypersound! Vladimir Putin, like our military, unanimously calls new complex - hypersonic, i.e. flying to the target at a speed of 10-12 times higher than the speed of sound. From the point of view of theory - everything is true. Just think about it 12 000 km / h! Hypersonic is the speed of an object above Mach 5.  (1 Mach \u003d 1062 km / h at an altitude of 11 km) However, American experts interpret the concept of a hypersonic product as using a ramjet engine for movement. And our blog, frankly spit what Western "partners" think. Such weapons working at such speeds, ranges and altitudes ... no country in the world has, except OUR!

  "Russian newspaper"

She also maneuvers.  Despite the enormous speed, the rocket is able to actively maneuver throughout the flight to the target. If we draw an analogy with the Iskander, then even the developers cannot predict the trajectory of its movement ... it flies as it wants, it's the same Russian rocket.

Anti-aircraft missile system "Dagger" - This is a multi-channel, all-weather, autonomous anti-aircraft short-range missile system capable of repelling a massive raid of low-flying anti-ship, anti-radar missiles, guided and unguided bombs, airplanes, helicopters, etc.

The head developer of the complex is Altair NPO (chief designer is S. A. Fadeev), the anti-aircraft missile is the Fakel ICB.

Ship tests of the complex began in 1982 on the Black Sea on a small anti-submarine ship, pr. 1124. During demonstration firing in the spring of 1986, 4 cruise missiles P-35 were launched from coastal installations at the MPK. All P-35s were shot down by 4 dagger missiles. The tests were hard and with a breakdown of all terms. So, for example, the “Dagger” was supposed to equip the Novorossiysk TAKR, but it was adopted with “holes” for the “Dagger”. On the first ships of Project 1155, the complex was installed one instead of the two.

Only in 1989, the Dagger air defense system was officially adopted by the large anti-submarine ships, pr. 1155, on which 8 modules of 8 missiles were installed.

At present, the Dagger air defense system is in service with the Admiral Kuznetsov heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser, the Peter the Great nuclear missile cruiser (Project 1144.4), large anti-submarine ships Project 1155, 11551 and the latest Undaunted patrol ships.

The air defense complex "Dagger" is offered to foreign buyers under the name "Blade".

In the west, the complex received the designation SA-N-9 GAUNTLET.

The complex uses a 9M330–2 remote-controlled anti-aircraft missile unified with a missile of the “Tor” land complex, or a 9M331 missile system of the “Tor-M” complex. 9M330–2 is made according to the aerodynamic scheme “duck” and uses a freely rotating wing unit. Its wings are folding, which made it possible to place the 9M330 in an extremely "compressed" square TPK. The launch of a missile launcher is vertical under the action of a catapult with the further inclination of the rocket with a gas-dynamic system, with the help of which in less than one second, during the ascent to the launch engine’s launch height, the rocket turns toward the target.

Explosive warhead of a high-explosive fragmentation type is carried out at the command of a pulsed radio fuse in the immediate vicinity of the target. The radio fuse is anti-interference and adapts when approaching the water surface. Missiles are placed in transport and launch containers and do not need to be checked for 10 years.

SAM “Dagger” is equipped with its own radar detection equipment (module K-12-1), providing the complex with complete independence and operational actions in the most difficult situations. The multi-channel complex is based on electronically controlled phased array antennas and a high-speed computing complex. The main mode of operation of the complex is automatic (without the participation of personnel), based on the principles of “artificial intelligence”.

The television-optical means of target detection built into the antenna post not only increase its noise immunity in conditions of intense radio resistance, but also allow personnel to visually assess the nature of tracking and hitting targets. The radar facilities of the complex were developed at the Kvant Research Institute under the guidance of V. I. Guzya and provide a range of detection of air targets of 45 km at a height of 3.5 km.

"Dagger" can simultaneously fire up to four targets in the spatial sector 60 ° to 60 °, while up to 8 missiles are aimed in parallel. The reaction time of the complex is from 8 to 24 seconds, depending on the radar mode. In addition to missiles, the fire control system of the Dagger complex can control the fire of 30-mm AK-360M assault rifles, making the surviving targets shot at a distance of up to 200 meters.

The 4C95 launcher of the “Dagger” complex was developed by the Design Bureau “Start” under the guidance of the chief designer A. I. Yaskin. PU below deck, consists of 3-4 drum-type launchers, each with 8 TPKs with missiles. The weight of the module without missiles is 41.5 tons, the occupied area is 113 square meters. m
