According to the company, the basic tactical and technical parameters of Ragnarck look like: Defense ExOSESS observers noted that Ragnarck was created as a "cheap" long-range "winged rocket, capable of flying high and quickly, and then dive on the target. This combination complicates intercepting because the ammunition is outside the area of LACR and most low-caliber air defense systems, and fighter jets or more powerful SPRs (C-300/C-400, Beech, etc. ) will be required to intercept.
Even complexes such as "shell-C1" can be difficult when working at high altitudes. The "highlight" of this concept was a relatively small warhead of 36 kg. This is less than Iranian Shahaneda (about 50 kg), so the rocket causes relatively small damage when used. However, mass use tactics can be quite devastating.
Even if some of the missiles are intercepted, the enemy will have to spend expensive air defense products, weakening their protection system and creating the conditions for further strikes more powerful means of damage. It should be noted separately that the platform for these missiles is various solutions, and in particular, combat drones XQ-58 Valkyrie, which can take up to 4 such missiles.
Thus, judging by all Ragnarok in size, a similar GBU-39 aircraft "if so, one fighter will be able to take a few dozen Ragnarck on board. And this allows to make a truly mass launch of small forces,"-summed up analysts. We will remind, a year ago in the US ended the third stage of tests of the unmanned aircraft XQ-58a Valkyrie of the Corps of Marine infantry.
