The expert announced the ability of the Russian air defense to shoot down EXCALIBUR shells
MOSCOW, March 18 – RIA Novosti. Russian anti-aircraft missile (SAM) systems, used in a special military operation (SVO) in Ukraine, have demonstrated their ability to shoot down US M982 Excalibur guided artillery shells with missiles in the air, expert military, editor-in-chief of Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine Viktor Murakhovsky told RIA Novosti.
“
“One of the features of the work of the Russian air defense in a special operation was the use of guided missiles from our air defense systems to destroy precision-guided munitions in the air. In particular, the cases of successful destruction by American guided artillery of M982 Excalibur shells, which are used by Ukrainian troops from M777 howitzers, have been recorded,” Murakhovsky said.
At the same time, the editor of Arsenal de la Patrie pointed out that howitzer shells are a difficult target for hitting air defense systems due to their small size.
“If, for example, the HIMARS MLRS rocket, which our systems shoot down in large numbers, is 4 meters long with a caliber of 227 millimeters, then the Excalibur projectile is only 1 meter long with a caliber of 155 millimeters, this target is much more difficult to track and target, in addition, a more accurate hit from an artillery shell is required to disable it due to its greater strength,” the expert explained.
According to data published in the new issue of the magazine Arsenal of the Fatherland, such opportunities were provided, among other things, thanks to improvements in Russian air defense systems based on the experience of their use in a special operation. So, in the anti-aircraft missile system “Tor-M2U / M2”, the newspaper notes, the software and hardware were quickly finalized, increasing their ability to cope with the most modern air threats.
