Thunderstorm for Russian air defense: What is the dangerous new rocket "Ruta" (photo)

The new development for the Armed Forces is a complete winged rocket flying at a speed of up to 800 km/h. Russian mobile fire groups and helicopters will not be able to knock it down. New development, a rocket called "Ruta", is undergoing successful tests. The product was the result of the work of the European Aerospace Company Destinus, founded by businessman Mikhail Kokorich, who fled from Putin Russia, writes Defense Express.

At the beginning of 2024, it was reported that the company strengthened the Armed Forces of the SPA LORD with a range of flight from 750 to 2000 kilometers. Then they began to supply "Ruth", but described it as a jet drone with a distance of targets up to 300 kilometers. The tasks were called shock and intelligence missions. In this case, "Ruta" looks like a traditional winged rocket.

The main components of "Ruth" consist of a combat part, a fixed wing, a fuel tank, an electronics block and a small turbouoable engine. The rocket starts with the help of a rocket accelerator, its cost relative to size, amount of load and speed is low. The development is still positioned as a drone, capable of carrying a variety of payload, rotating and parachute. At the EuroSATORY 2024 exhibition, they showed a sample with a slightly different design.

It is obvious that then it was about the weight of the battle part within hundreds of kilograms. The main advantage and possibility of "Ruth" is a high-speed flight in the range of 500-800 km/h, which reduces the efficiency of Russian mobile firing groups and completely excludes helicopters from the list of Russian "antitrone air defense". We will remind, on the night of December 11 Ukrainian missiles "Palyanitsa" hit "Taganrog Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex".
