96 rockets for one "oreshnik": why the new Russian rocket should be knocked in space

In order to destroy all blocks of Orezhnik, or "Caller" missile, 96 Patriot SC missiles will be required, the journalist and expert Denis Popovich says. Therefore, the right thing is to hit the rocket before the division, in space, the weapon that has partners. Immediately after the IBR strike on the Dnieper, I wrote that there is a theoretical possibility of killing the battle blocks that fly to the target by Patriot.

I emphasize, it is the theoretical opportunity, and it is the blocks that are not rockets! Today there are publications that confirm this opinion. So, let's try to theoretically model the situation. The Kedr Rocket is divided into 6 parts somewhere in the heights, which in turn is divided into 6 more. So, we have to intercept 36 air purposes. The likelihood of one target by one RAC-3 Patriot RAC is 0. 8. Accordingly, we need 2 traffic jams on one block. That is, at least 72 travelers on 36 blocks.

The standard "complete set" of our Patriot SCR is one battery that consists of two firing platoons. These are 8 launchers of 4 rockets on each PU. That is 32 rockets. This is not enough. Two batteries will not be enough. A volley of three batteries - 96 rockets is required. I repeat, this is all theory. No one in practice did this, as no one projected this system to beat the strategic IBR combat units. No one before that launched the IBR in peaceful cities.

The main problem: it is impossible to determine where these blocks will fly to the last seconds. The rocket is divided at the highest point of its flight, high above the planet's surface, after which the blocks fly down and try to find out first where they will fall. This is the essence of the orbital bombing - overloading the system about, which is forced to wait for the impact everywhere with a non -guaranteed result.
