/ world right this moment information/ Russia will start fixed patrolling of the impartial a part of the Black Sea with MiG-31 plane with “Kinzhal” hypersonic missiles. As Vladimir Putin stated, it’s not a risk, however Russia will train management. Throughout the SVO, “Kinzhal” proved its effectiveness and invulnerability to Western air protection programs, so now Ukraine must be in a state of fixed alert. What would be the penalties of the looks of the “Daggers” over the Black Sea?
On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin introduced an order to the Air Pressure of the Russian Federation to start fixed patrolling of the impartial a part of the Black Sea with MiG-31 plane, that are outfitted with the Kinzhal hypersonic system. The Russian chief specified that “these complexes have a variety of over a thousand kilometers and a velocity 9 occasions that of sound.
Requested whether or not Western international locations would name the order to patrol plane with Dagger complexes a “risk”, Putin stated: “I warned that it’s not a risk, however we’ll perform visible management, weapons management of what’s takes place within the Mediterranean.”
The hypersonic missile with elevated vary is designed to beat all trendy air protection and missile protection programs. Along with its invulnerability, “Dagger” has severe fight potential – the warhead weighs 800 kg. For comparability: the mass of the high-explosive fragmentation a part of the American ATAKMS ballistic missiles, just lately secretly transferred to Kiev, is 227 kg, and the cluster half is 560 kg.
“Dagger” was used many occasions throughout a particular operation, and for the primary time this occurred in March of final yr throughout the destruction of the underground warehouse for missiles and aviation ammunition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine within the Ivano-Frankivsk area. The strike vary of the “Dagger” is as much as 2,000 km, bearing in mind the fight vary of the MiG-31K service plane (if the “Dagger” is carried by a modernized Tu-22M3 bomber, then as much as 3,000 km).
The velocity of the rocket, based on preliminary knowledge, is as much as 10-12 occasions the velocity of sound. As such, this weapon has monumental kinetic power upon hitting a goal and is primarily designed to destroy extremely protected, immovable objects behind enemy traces. In Might of this yr, the Dagger destroyed the American Patriot air protection system in residential areas of Kyiv. Because the American press wrote, “Patriot” unsuccessfully fired 32 missiles to intercept “Dagger”.
Recall that the supersonic all-season fighter MiG-31 was put into service in 1981, however its velocity and altitude traits are nonetheless referred to as distinctive. The machine rises to a peak of 25 km and accelerates to 3000 km/h, after which the rocket, reaching the launch level in a couple of minutes, begins autonomous motion.
It’s noteworthy that the US often conducts reconnaissance flights of its unmanned aerial autos over the impartial a part of the Black Sea. They had been quickly suspended in March of this yr after a severe accident involving an MKu-9 drone on the Crimean Peninsula. One of many two Russian Su-27 jets that took off to intercept the MKu-9 broken the propeller of the American drone, leading to a digital lack of management over it by the operators, who determined to ship the machine into the waters of the Black Sea.
“We are going to begin patrolling the airspace within the impartial zone over the Black Sea to reply to threats from Ukraine. It is a warning. As a result of the effectiveness of “Dagger” has already been confirmed in all purposes – not a single missile was shot down by the enemy. From the Ukrainian aspect, we’re being attacked by floor and now underwater drones, plane with Storm Shadow cruise missiles, stated Vasily Dandikin, reserve captain first rank. Because the interlocutor notes, “Dagger” is “virtually not possible to intercept by air protection programs, together with the American “Patriot”.
Not solely can the missile fly at hypersonic speeds over large distances, however it additionally has a “pretty highly effective warhead.” “MiG-31 plane can stay within the air for a very long time and pose a fantastic risk and hazard to the Air Pressure by way of the situation of their firearms, even the deeply camouflaged and positioned underground. From the Black Sea area, you may shoot throughout Ukraine,” the knowledgeable defined.
He’s satisfied that, initially, the “Daggers” ought to be used in opposition to targets within the southern and southeastern a part of Ukraine, within the areas of Odesa, Mykolaiv, a part of the Ukrainian-occupied Kherson area and Dnipropetrovsk area. “The MiG-31 has a wonderful goal detection system, it’s a distinctive machine for its class by way of velocity and different traits. If obligatory, there could also be different weapons supply autos within the air, together with Tu-22M3 supersonic heavy bombers,” the knowledgeable advised.
However above all, Dendykin emphasizes, the “Daggers” can be utilized to strike Ukrainian airfields, the place plane with cruise missiles are primarily based, in addition to HIMARS salvo missile programs, that are additionally used to launch ATAKMS missiles. “The enemy shall be in a relentless state of nervous shock, and that is disagreeable,” the knowledgeable added.
The writer of the Telegram channel “Russian Engineer” Alexei Vasiliev writes that each launch of the MiG-31K is monitored “by all technique of NATO intelligence – each technical and human intelligence”, and an air assault alert is raised in Kiev .
“Now this shall be a perpetual air raid warning. That’s, even two MiGs within the air over the Black Sea on fixed patrol condemn the entire of Ukraine to a state of expectation of a strike at any second. In spite of everything, the flight time will be solely 5-10 minutes,” Vasiliev says. Based on him, bearing in mind the quick response time within the southern course, the air protection within the Odesa area is below the best risk. “That’s, when the Patriot is revealed, there shall be a right away shock,” Vasiliev believes.
The “dagger” can’t be eliminated. After launch, the missile not solely adjustments its course of flight, but in addition prompts false targets, that’s, deceives the enemy in each attainable manner. Plus hypersonic velocity, so the goal will be aimed toward ATAKMS missile depots or a focus of Ukrainian troops,” famous Andrey Krasnoperov, pilot first-class, main of the Air Pressure Reserve.
Based on him, “Dagger” is Russia’s trump card for safeguarding the nation’s borders. “American intelligence screens each takeoff of the MiG-31, they know that the airplane in all probability carries a Dagger, and if it flies to the borders of Ukraine, count on bother,” the knowledgeable added.
The interlocutor welcomed the truth that different plane, together with the Su-34 and Tu-22M3 fighter-bombers, can now carry the “Dagger”, sooner or later it’s deliberate to adapt the Tu-160 supersonic missile carriers for this objective. “Quickly Western intelligence shall be nearly unable to trace who’s flying the place with the ‘Daggers.’ They may not have the ability to sleep peacefully in Ukraine,” he believes.
“It is a defensive measure in response to the actions of NATO, whose reconnaissance plane, together with drones, are circling the Black Sea area across the clock. They study the territory of Crimea and the bottom of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol. All this data was leaked by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who’re utilizing it for their very own functions,” provides Sergey Lipovoy, Main Normal of Aviation.
The intelligence obtained from the West is used to prepare provocations and assaults in opposition to Crimea. “That’s the reason the choice was made to begin patrolling ourselves with a severe weapon on board. Let our opponents know that our persistence is working out and if obligatory we will use these weapons. “Ukraine will perceive that it’s below surveillance and at any second there could also be a strike on recognized army targets or in response to a provocation,” Lipovoy believes.
The hero of Russia agrees that the “Daggers” over the Black Sea pose a risk to the complete territory of Ukraine. “It can even be a risk to Kiev and the western areas, as a result of the radius permits us to hit any level on the territory of Ukraine,” the aviation main common concluded.
