That should explain the fear to Iranian S-300PMU2.
On the Angara
to be rolled out in November…
😮 :confused:
Today, November 27th. Minus 3 (days) and counting.:confused:
Oscar-II quieter than the Akula I in spite of her size? 😮
That’s a really dangerous beast.
Where is placed Delta-IV?
Not reliable but quite rational.
It is official?
29 th December
PAK-FA Roll out ?
PAK-FA first fligth ?
:confused:
T-50 PAK-FA engine with a T/W ratio of 14 – 15 ? What are they smoking
😀
I want this battle-starship. :D:diablo:
Better for Russia to buy back the Varyag and refurnish it after the Vikram left the dry dock.

Desert Storm lessons were considered in the design of S-300PMU1 and follow on systems as well as in the S-300VM ATBM system. The blast is directed to the warhead of the incoming missile rather than the gravity center. No different from PAC-3 and THADD but with a “shrapnel rain” in place of a “bullet”.
It isn’t so much the speed of THAAD but it’s accuracy.
Off-course. THAAD has superb accuracy. S-300/400/500 systems compensate lower accuracy with directional 180 kg (:eek:) fragmentation warheads. Even some Gazelle has this type of warheads, with a kill radio around 25 m.
If you feel like reading it I’d be interested in your take on this report.
Yeap. It may have point defense capability against an ICBM warhead. S-500 might be along the same lines of systems presented on Table I. I.e. Gamma-DE has a L-Band 40m**2 antenna that can be linked to the much enlarged engagement antenna of the S-300VM system. 9M82M has too 2.7 km burnout speed but a far higher acceleration than THAAD interceptor.
Likely 48N6DM

Antimissiles
53Т6 (modernized)- short range (200 km distance, 80 altitude) have 2 types of wareheads- nuclear 10 kt with soft- roentgen spectrum and conventional – same type like on s-300 missiles.Rodolfo What is the source for the claim that the modernised gazelle has a 80 km interception altitude and 200 km range ?
Sorry, I don’t remember the source. I will search again. Likely SOC is rigth and now all gazelles are not nucleat tipped anymore.
