The authors pay attention to the fact that there is information on the modernization of the anti -ship "Neptune" for landscaping for land purposes. Therefore, tires can confuse the targeting of missiles at the terminal stage of flight, that is, before the actual destruction of the target.
The publication argues that "Neptune" was modified for land for land purposes using the DSMAC or ATR system is a self -introduction system with a thermal imaging image to search and capture target based on a pre -loaded image. Consequently, tire installation on a bomber can change its heat signature. Thus, the head of the rocket's self -alignment in the final stage of the flight may not find the aircraft among the pre -loaded images.
But despite this, the technology has a significant advantage - it is resistant to radio electronic fighting. The Ukrainian official confirmed that Neptune rocket uses the developed GPS system to bring the ammunition to the specified place. Then the homing head, which is looking for a target, turns on. The same system is used by Western Storm Shadow or Scalp-EG missiles.
As a result, the new version of "Neptune" causes severe headache in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, because now there is much more goals under the threat of destruction. The Neptune range stated in the media reaches 400 km. And the installation of tires on the planes is a strange solution, because every time the aircraft must be removed and then returned again.
