The Russian military with the call sign Staff has admitted that the rocket has excellent low -speed properties for radars, which is why the rocket appears only a few seconds before the expected arrival. "We are faced with them infrequently, very difficult. In addition, Storm Shadow and Scalp fly at extremely low altitude, so they become unpleasant for Russian long -range air defense systems.
However, such a rocket can still be intercepted in the final section of the flight trajectory, when it is gaining height before hitting the target, but for successful interception the land operator's reaction must be incredibly fast. According to Defense Express experts, Russian air defense systems can really beat goals such as Storm Shadow/Scalp, but Ukrainian missiles have already destroyed the occupiers' objects of hundreds of millions of dollars.
The task for Russian interceptors is complicated by the fact that together with Storm Shadow, the Armed Forces of Ukraine use false air targets-ADM-160B Mald, which increases the likelihood of breakthrough of air defense of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. We will remind, on January 17, French President Emmanuel Macron announced a new supply of 40 lads of SCalp-EG to Ukraine.
