the Finnish state broadcasting company Yle, remembering “superweapon Putin” announced novink prepared for the Victory day Parade in Moscow on 24 June. We are talking about a hypersonic ballistic missile, air-launched “the Dagger” (exceeding the speed of sound in 10 times) with the carrier, the MiG-31K.
Why is this hypersonic aircraft missile system called the Scandinavians such a stir? As well as what types of weapons represented in the Parade, it is worth to pay attention, said “MK” military expert Igor Korotchenko.
— In the aerial part of the parade really involved fighter-interceptor MiG-31K with hypersonic ballistic missile “the Dagger” airborne. Potential huge nuclear and conventional warheads delivered to the target at a distance of two thousand kilometers. It can work against stationary and moving targets. This class of precision weapons.
In principle, this hypersonic aircraft missile complex was accepted into service last year. And today they are on combat duty in the southern military district. A means of interception, air defense, against the “Dagger” has not yet been developed. It will truly be one of the novelties in the aerial part of the parade.
— Interest of foreign colleagues is clear. So far, because no one else in the world ballistic missile air launch. Specially upgraded to run MiG-31K, in fact it is the first step. The start is at altitudes of 12-15 km, outside the dense layers of the atmosphere.
— For the Finns it might be a sensation, but we have this missile was widely shown, since last year. Including on television.
— what samples of the latest military equipment represented in the Parade, is, in your opinion, still to pay attention?
— First shown anti-aircraft missile systems s-350 “Vityaz”. These systems are designed to reflect a massive strike of cruise missiles. One launcher complex is armed with 12 anti-aircraft missiles.
From technology, I would have paid attention to the anti-aircraft missile complex short-range tor-M2. Thanks to SAM we have a reliable covered Hamim military base in Syria. The complex tor-M2 were shot down over 45 drones terrorists. It worked fine in real combat conditions. And is now represented in the Parade.
I still pay attention to air defense equipment and aircraft, because modern high-tech wars will be fought remotely. The main weapon will strike aircraft and cruise missiles.
