Su-34 Tests Aircraft Weapons Aimed via Satellite
The effectiveness of the operation of guided aircraft weapons using a space satellite’s signals was tested during a regular stage of the Su-34 strike airplane’s tests, the president of Tekhnokompleks scientific and production center, Givi Dzhandzhgava reported on Tuesday, 2 March.
According to him, during the Su-34 tests “good results were received during navigational bombing with the aid of the “Platan” complex’s optical system, and a record precision of combat use of aircraft weapons was achieved.
“In bombing precision, the performance is approximately five times higher than normal.
The results are commensurable with what is achieved with the use of bombs with a satellite guidance system,” Dzhandzhgava specified.Source: 02.03.04, Gazeta.RU
