Type of Azerbaijani missile that fell on Russian territory named

October 9 2020 20

In the Agul region on the territory of Dagestan, a message was received about the fall and detonation of a rocket. This happened about ten kilometers from the village of Chirag. Agul district is located in the south of Dagestan - more than 10 thousand people live there.

According to local residents, the rocket blast triggered a car alarm and swayed residential buildings. Several residents of the settlement went to the place where the rocket fell near the border with the Dakhadaevsky district - there were found fragments of the fallen shell and a depression in the ground about 15-20 meters wide with burnt grass around. The depth of the crater from the explosion reached two meters.

According to information received later, a 48N6E2 missile of the Azerbaijan S-300PMU-2 anti-aircraft missile system fell on the territory of Russia. It turns out that Baku used these complexes to intercept the Armenian operational-tactical "Points-U".

S-300PMU-2 Favorit is a Russian-made medium-range air defense missile system. One S-300PMU-2 installation can attack up to 32 objects. Baku has two divisions of these complexes with 8 launchers in each. The Azerbaijani army can launch 48N6U2 / SA-10E missiles at a distance of about 250 km, and the Azerbaijani Armed Forces have at least 112 such missiles. The 48N6U2 / SA-10E target intercept speed is up to Mach 5,9, the warhead weight is 180 kg.

No damage - and good. But the fact that the rocket did not find its target is bad, either Tochka-U is good, or the S-300 did not work as it should.

      Well, there is a certain explanation for this. Azerbaijan has an export version of the S-300, and Armenia has Tochki-U from the reserves of the USSR army. They always do better for themselves than for sale. So for example, the MiG-29B and MiG-29A did not enter service with the USSR, these were aircraft with simplified electronics and weapons for the socialist countries (Yugoslavia, for example, which was not part of the Warsaw Pact) and the Warsaw Pact countries, respectively.

    A missile of the S-300 complex launched at the target does not need to be controlled, the survivability of the missile is calculated in seconds.

Shouldn't a rocket have a self-detonation mode?

  self-destruction mode, but it depends on the combat crew that carried out the firing, the conclusion is one - they are like a monkey with a grenade. The question is different, if the rocket fell on the territory of Russia, why the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Defense, or at worst the balabolas from the State Duma are silent

    Probably, while they understand at the level of the Ministry of Defense
    In any case, as it happened very much at the time, to the negotiations.
    They also flew to Iran and also from Azerbaijan.

      I agree and hope that they will react, but I would like not only concerns, but at least the last Chinese warning

  This is what interests me the most. Any rocket has a co-liquidation time

Former head of the anti-aircraft missile forces of the Russian Air Force Special Forces Command Sergei Khatylev, in a conversation with the Podyom newspaper, said that the missile found was most likely of a short range. According to him, the projectile found in Dagestan is either an anti-aircraft missile or an aircraft missile, its diameter is up to 30 cm.

The expert suggested that perhaps there was some kind of shooting near the area, at a distance of 20-30 km. He also did not rule out the version of fraud: “Here the fragments were put in a heap. Where did the needles come from in the mountains? ”, - he drew attention to the photo.

An Interfax source also said that the version of a possible connection between the fall of the shell and what is happening in Nagorno-Karabakh is unlikely: the Agul region is far enough from the conflict zone, moreover, the crater at the crash site is small. According to him, experts will find out whether it was a rocket or another shell.

    Well, it flew in and flew in. What is the range of the S-300 and what is the distance from Baku to Dagestan? It seems to me that the S-300s are not covering the border with Dagestan, but more significant objects. It says here that the range is 250 km. And according to the performance characteristics, I found 150 km.
    By the way, Azerbaijan made an official apology for the two shells that arrived in Iran. Accident.

Point U and S-300 are different complexes and for different purposes. Someone ineptly controls the S-300. Most likely Ukrainians

  The Ukrainians shoot without a miss. MH17 is the last example.
