In the Russian Federation, the S-300 SPRs are modernized: experts have named two main modifications of the complex
Army recognition writes in detail about how Russian military is experimenting with the S-300 system to expand the opportunities for lesions. The authors of the material reminded that in 2022 the Russians used the complexes of the C-300 for strikes on terrestrial objects of Ukraine. But for this it was necessary to make some changes to the system, which was originally intended for air defense.
To re-profile the C-300 to strike for land purposes, it was necessary to carry out two main modifications, experts say. First, the detection radar (RLV) and software algorithms are reconfigured to the detection and support of terrestrial threats instead of air purposes. This involves adjusting the parameters and algorithms of the system to identify and defeat land targets, such as vehicles or land troops. Secondly, the rockets themselves are modified.
For the defeat of terrestrial threats, the rocket is equipped with different types of warheads, such as puga-sparkle or armor-piercing, which are more effective against ground targets. In addition, it is necessary to make changes to the missile guidance system to improve the trajectory and the accuracy of lesions of land goals. Although Russian sources report these rockets of certain objects in the territory of Ukraine, their accuracy during ground attacks is questioned.
"The use of Russia-to-air rockets such as C-300, for terrestrial offensive operations in Ukraine, hints at a deeper problem in the Russian military arsenal, which potentially indicates the lack of production of landscapes of the lands-land class" Earth ",-experts say. Among the reasons for this shortage, the observers are the sanctions of the West through which access to the necessary components for the production of such weapons in Russia is limited.
In addition, the prolonged nature of the conflict and high rates of missile use, perhaps, have led to the depletion of Russian land-land missiles. Viewers also pointed out that the production of sophisticated military equipment, such as rocket, is a resource -intensive process that requires significant time and investment.
