In recent years, the armies of the world focuses on the means to destroy the enemy and the enemy's equipment at a distance, without direct confrontation.Not an exception and domestic aircraft.Modernized old missile systems, create new ones.
But at all times the special role played by the means to defeat the enemy aircraft.Further, this list includes recently heavy UAV and missiles.One of the most promising means of their destruction is the S-400, which is better known under the name "Triumph".
Purpose
this missile system can be used to destroy the jammers, intelligence and reconnaissance aircraft, attack planes and fighters, drones and enemy missiles of different types of applications.
advantages over existing samples
S-400 has been designed based on the C-300, but has a much better performance in all areas.The new complex not only cheaper but also 2.5 times more effective.
uniqueness of "Triumph" is that the complex can not only work with the new missiles, which have been specially designed for him, but also with older models, which were issued for the C-300 and the like.Even the basic version is equipped with a set of four variants of missiles at once.If it allows the deployment as soon as possible to organize several levels of air defense, to organize an attack on the air bases of enemy intelligence.
Differing thus from the previous models, the C-400 is almost completely automated, allowing you to significantly reduce the number of personnel needed for maintenance and repair.Due to the highest degree of integration with other air defense system and MLRS, it can be used in any unit of the Armed Forces.
information about the developer
Designed this complex was the legendary CB "Diamond", with the active participation of the general designer A. Lemanskiy.In the development of the ICD specialists involved "Torch", Novosibirsk Research Institute SP (instruments), as well as other CB related to precision machinery.
Date adopting
adopt and complex database atonement at the end of April 2007, that the military standards recently.The first settlement, which became the SAM cover from the air, became the city of Elektrostal, Moscow region.Among NATO complex known under the designation SA-20.
What Constitutes
in the structure and staffing of S-400 is actually no different from its predecessor.The composition of the SAM includes multifunction radar system for missile launch, as well as a fully autonomous guidance systems and targeting.As for the differences, the new model provides support for many more purposes, and the probability of their simultaneous destruction above.
directly into the S-400 "Triumph" includes several components.The automatic control and guidance 30K6E includes:
- battle management command post 55K6E.
- for the rapid detection and management of enemy radars used 91N6E.
The structure itself 98ZH6E antiaircraft complex also includes additional components:
- control radars and tracking of air targets 92N2E.
- to directly launch rockets used starting installation 5P85TE2 or 5P85SE2.
- List missiles, which are compatible with this complex is impressive.Can be run 48H6E, 48H6E2, 48H6E3.This allows SAM also launches a rocket to hit long-distance goals 40N6E.
If required by prevailing tactical situation, the firing may be given to the calculation of the additional funds the following optional:
- specially designed for tracking of targets at the maximum available height radar 96L6E.
- 40V6M tower, designed to improve the signal on the antenna 92N6E.
Basics
SAM S-400 "Triumph" is created including the fight against high-precision weapons of the enemy, allowing even small churn and high-speed ballistic missiles.The great advantage is that the weapons used not only destroys the air target, but completely undermines its controls and all of the fighting.It should be borne in mind that the probability of hitting the target of the air:
- manned for the purposes of such a figure is not less than 0.9%, and the probability of defeat has virtually no effect even pilots perform special maneuvers to dodge.
- for unmanned purposes probability is about 0.8%.Even if a missile or a drone struck only in part, in 70% of cases achieved the complete destruction of the warhead.
With regard to the chassis on which you could set the containers, each of which contains S-400 missile, the choice is limited only by the specific equipment of the military unit.So, this line can be used in almost all modifications of MAZ, KAMAZ and KrAZ and the Urals.
Other information
should be noted that in launch canisters can be combined several types of missiles, thereby creating a powerful defense in depth, which will not be able to overcome the challenges, none of the western armed missiles.
autonomy and mobility of the system contributes to the fact that it is equipped with powerful generators that make the S-400 "Triumph" a unique model of equipment, which can effectively combat missions in a long isolation from the parts of the home.
between the components of the complex is getting better radio, and both wired and wirelessly.A first embodiment is used more often because it provides maximum protection for the transmitted data from interception.However, wireless also has the right to exist, as in combat far more important than the speed of deployment and mobility system.
Management
As is the case with most similar systems, management is carried out by means of a combined scheme.Almost throughout the flight the rocket is guided by the data that have been loaded into its control chip with a radar complex.Only in extreme close to the target warhead begins to follow the aim of actively watching her movements with the help of its own guidance system, which is located at the head end.
If we talk about at what distance the S-400 (missile system) can hit the target, the standard state, this distance is 120 kilometers.The defeat of the object can be at a height of between 5 and 30 kilometers.
From the discovery of the purpose and until its launch takes just eight seconds.The life of each missile - about 15 years.In the case where special certification authorities can confirm the preservation of operational properties of equipment, this period can be extended considerably.
destruction warhead
basic requirement of modern air defense systems - not just shoot down the rocket, but to achieve the guaranteed destruction of its warhead.This is particularly true if the system is located in close proximity to the object protected by it.It is desirable if a wounded rocket will fall on him, when her body is completely preserved explosives or nuclear warhead.
Only when the warhead is intercepted by another approaching enemy missile to the target, it is possible to eliminate such an adverse scenario.The destruction of the most dangerous parts of the enemy vehicles can only be achieved in two ways: either by direct contact with a warhead or a sufficiently compact impact on her pieces.
Interception purposes
As we have already said, is largely used ammunition distinguishes the C-400.This missile system is remarkable in that the missile does not start right out of the container and tossed to a height of 30 meters with the help of the cutter.This not only ensures complete safety of the operators, but also allows you to achieve the highest possible precision in destroying targets.
Simultaneously with the launch of the rocket propulsion engine includes an active noise reduction system, which allows you to bypass almost all the known types of protection from interception.It should be noted that the rocket has its own gas-dynamic system to maneuver, thanks to which it can successfully deviate from the collision with the decoys, constantly pursuing the desired object.
Terms of guaranteed destruction of a missile
As we have said, one of the conditions for the successful defeat of warheads is a direct hit in her.You can understand what can be done less frequently.And because the main method is controlled remotely initiated (according to the scanning of the missile complex) of fragments.S-400, the characteristics of which we present below, provides a point peripheral blasting enemy missiles.
If the system jamming enemy target is too successful, then activated a centralized blasting missiles, causing the target rushes symmetrical cloud of debris.
most important performance characteristics of complex
- Target detection range up to 600 km.
- simultaneously may be accompanied by up to 300 (!) Different objects.
- maximum range of lesions - up to 240 kilometers.
- target can be hit at a speed of up to 4800 m / sec.
- the same time can be attacked up to 36 airplanes or missiles.
- For each of these objectives at the same time can be produced up to two missiles.
- time deployment of C-400, the characteristics of which are presented here, is only 5-7 minutes.
- to overhaul the system is able to turn out up to 10,000 hours.
What may interact with this system?
should be noted that the S-400 can effectively interact not only with air and ground guidance systems, but even with the military satellites orbiting the planet.When you create a set of experts guided by the principle of compatibility as possible, so that it may equally be used in any grouping of the Armed Forces.
particularly promising from this point of view seems complex radar surveillance and guidance systems - AK AEW.This equipment can produce automatic explore enemy airspace in order to ensure maximum effectiveness of both SAM and attack aircraft.
system S-400 is particularly efficient with its modification of the A-50, as well as a modernized replica of the A-50U, which includes Radio Engineering Complex "Bumblebee-M."It is installed on reconnaissance aircraft IL-76, so that SAM can obtain information on potentially hazardous objects that are thousands of kilometers away.In addition, currently being tested combinations of different types of RTK (radio systems), land and air-based.
The purpose of these experiments - to find the most informative and inexpensive option.Just note that of all the existing not only in the West, but we SAM is this complex is the most affordable, reliable and efficient.Accuracy destruction of missiles that have missile system S-400 "Triumph" is not inferior to that of the C-300, but all other figures are much better.
