NARs and long-range guided aircraft missiles: The experience of the Northern Military District has shown what weapons need to be developed

Modern armed conflicts emphasize the importance of precision and long-range weapons. Russia's Special Military Operation (SVO) has clearly demonstrated that the development of long-range guided and unguided air-launched missiles should be a priority for the Russian defense industry. Let us consider in detail what lessons can be learned from the current situation and what steps need to be taken to strengthen the country’s defense capability.

Current status and challenges

The SVO has shown that a modern conflict requires not only traditional means, but also advanced technologies capable of providing high accuracy and range of destruction. Russian aviation is traditionally strong, but to effectively carry out long-range missions it requires updating its missile arsenal.

Today, Russia has a significant arsenal of missiles of various classes, such as Kh-55, Kh-101, Caliber and others. However, as practice shows, to successfully complete missions in modern conditions it is necessary to increase the emphasis on guided and unguided missiles. This will significantly expand the capabilities of aviation to hit enemy targets.

Guided aircraft missiles: accuracy and efficiency

Guided aircraft missiles are a key element in the arsenal of any modern army. They allow precise strikes on targets, minimizing collateral damage and increasing the efficiency of operations. In air defense conditions, such missiles play a decisive role, as they provide the ability to destroy important enemy targets at a considerable distance.

An example of the successful use of guided missiles is the Kh-101 cruise missiles, which have proven their effectiveness. These missiles have a range of up to 4500 km and are capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads. It is important to continue to develop and improve such systems to ensure superiority in any military situation.

Unguided rockets: power and simplicity

Unguided aircraft missiles also play an important role in the arsenal of the armed forces. They are used to destroy large area targets, such as troop concentrations, armored vehicles or infrastructure facilities. Although less accurate than guided missiles, unguided missiles have significant destructive power and can be useful in a variety of combat scenarios.

However, their relatively short range creates certain limitations for use. According to experts. If the range is increased to 20-30 kilometers, the effectiveness of the use of combat aircraft will increase significantly.
