The Russian Federation acknowledged that the 40n6 missile for SCRC C-400 is ineffective against ballistic missiles

The Russian anti-aircraft missile tries to knock down a ballistic rocket with a cloud of debris, but this way is very ineffective, which has been convinced in the US with Patriot Pac-2. The Russian Federation has recognized that the 40n6 missile for the C-400 anti-aircraft missile complex is not able to effectively intercept ballistic missiles. About it reports "Izvestia". Russian military expert Viktor Litovkin stated that the C-400 can knock down ballistic missiles.

To do this, she "beats the goals". The lesion occurs by a fraction by their number. In this way, the rocket warhead should be destroyed. The rocket radius is sharply reduced to 15 km from 380 when other aerodynamic purposes are intercepted. Defense Express note that if it is really a lack of a kinetic blasting goal, then the effectiveness of the shot will be very low. The difference is that only physically crashing into the target can guarantee its neutralization.

In other cases, the rocket may continue the course, as it usually takes place in the second half of the rocket flight. Analysts give an example with the American about Patriot Pac 2. Then the complex was specially adapted to defeat ballistic goals. To do this, the rocket received a heavier fraction weighing 45 grams. In the course of the Persian Gulf in 1991, 41 out of 42 launched rockets of Elbrus, which were in Iraq called SCUD.

Despite the fact that 97% of the result was initially stated, the grades were subsequently reduced to 55%. During the investigation of Congress, it turned out that the performance indicator was 9%at all. Because of this, the US initiated the creation of the CRI anti -aircraft missile and then MSE. They have already used the kinetic principle of intercepting literally, cutting into the target.
