Russian hypersonic Dagger found critical vulnerability

A flaw was found in the Russian hypersonic missile system - a missile can be intercepted.

Despite the fact that Russian designers claim that the “Dagger” missile system is invulnerable to air defense and missile defense systems, it became known that in reality, the Russian hypersonic missile can be intercepted by both American Patriot air defense systems and Israeli missile defense systems “David Slings” and “Iron Dome”. The reason for this is a serious omission of Russian developers, which allows for the interception of any air defense / missile defense system with a range of over 70 kilometers.

The critical vulnerability of the Russian dagger ARK “Dagger” is that it develops hypersonic speed only 60-70 kilometers to the target, due to the fact that the X-47М2 rocket is solid fuel, which greatly limits its capabilities. In fact, being within the radius of destruction of any air defense / missile defense system over 70 kilometers, a Russian hypersonic missile will be shot down with a high probability.

“The X-47M2 missile has an aeroballistic flight path, as a result of which it can be intercepted without any problems - almost any of the existing air defense systems in the world can handle this. The solid propellant type of rocket puts a fat cross on its prospects ”, - the specialist notes.

It must be clarified that the Russian military did not demonstrate the full capabilities of the Russian ARC “Dagger”, which raises even more doubts about the prospects of this type of weapon.

What kind of crazy conclusions? Let them try to find a rocket at a distance of 60 km.

Present data to you on a silver platter? I like the argument - solid-fuel engines have a drawback, so it accelerates over 70 km. And before that, do you smoke tobacco?

AND YOU?

This missile is considered not winged, but aeroballistic: the flight range is determined by its speed. The aircraft launches at altitudes of the order of 15000 m. Separating from the carrier, the rocket starts its own engine, and then gains a height according to the ballistic curve, which, according to various estimates, reaches 25 ... 50 thousand m.

Hypersonic Dagger

Upon reaching the upper point of the trajectory, the engine is turned off, the head of the rocket is separated and the beginning of its decline. Such a launch scheme allows you to develop maximum speed, as well as accumulate enough energy for maneuvering with overloads of at least 25 units.

This is apparently the same "expert" who writes the names for Avia .. which, in principle, never coincide with the content of the article

Is it not clear that the author, sofa expair, show your finger like that, and he will find a million complaints.

.... I agree, the article is very strange! Of course, the point is not in solid fuel, but in the fact that fuel consumption catastrophically increases with increasing speed. Therefore, it is simply unrealistic to go through the entire route in hypersound. In this case, the rocket will almost consist of fuel. Developers, probably. chose the site that is most logical to pass on hypersound

So it is said that later it is completely passive and everyone who does not disdain it.

The critical vulnerability of the Russian dagger ARK “Dagger” is that it develops hypersonic speed only 60-70 kilometers to the target, due to the fact that the X-47М2 rocket is solid fuel.
An author of a creative would read a book which ... Just a solid propellant rocket accelerates to maximum speed at the end of the active section, that is, seconds after 20 -30 after launch.
