Speaker 1:The Ukrainian Armed Forces received the first batch of long-range cruise missiles Pyaklo. What is their danger?
Speaker 2:The reflective surface area of these missiles can reach up to 0.2 square meters.
Speaker 2:It is likely that the radars of the S-400 and Buk-M3 anti-aircraft missile systems will be able to detect these missiles as soon as they leave the radio horizon.
Speaker 2:The external design of the small jet engine will significantly increase the missile's infrared signature, making it easier to detect by systems like the Panzer S-1 and the Strela 10MN easier to detect by systems like the Panzer S1 and the Strela 10MN.
Speaker 2:Most likely, these missiles will be launched from ground-based launchers, potentially using a solid-fuel rocket booster. It appears that the Peklo missiles are equipped with straight, non-folding wings and a warhead weighing between 20 and 35 kilograms. Similar to kamikaze drones, they are expected to be equipped with inertial navigation systems that include GPS correction modules. According to official data, these missiles can reach a maximum speed of 700 km per hour and have a range of up to 700 km, enables the Ukrainian armed forces to launch large-scale attacks on targets in Lipetsk, Ural Tver, Moscow, Tula and other regions in the European part of Russia. However, with proper optimization of the air defense radar system, such as placing S-400 complex illumination radars on 40 V6M-MD low-altitude detection towers and deploying Panzer S-1 complexes on rapidly constructed truss towers. Attacks using Peklo missiles can be effectively countered, similar to responses against Neptune, MDE or Scalpy G missiles.
