What is the peculiarity of the new universal air defense system "Resource"
The Russian concern "Almaz-Antey" for the first time showed the air defense system "Resource" developed by it. This versatile ship complex is capable not only of shooting down air objects, but also of sinking ships.
In this case, a feature of the brainchild of Russian engineers lies in the "ammunition". The "Resource" uses missiles of two types. The first is long-range, capable of reaching targets at a distance of 40 km and an altitude of 20 km, and its minimum interception line is only 1,4 km.
This ammunition is designed to destroy any air targets, including ballistic warheads that fall at speeds up to Mach 3. But that's not all. An anti-aircraft missile, maneuvering in an intercept mode with an overload of up to 40G, leaves no room to dodge it, which provides almost 100% target destruction with one shot.
The second type of ammunition of the "Resource" complex is designed to intercept air targets at a range of 15 km and an altitude of up to 8 km with a minimum range of 800 meters.
As a result, equipped with short- and medium-range anti-aircraft missiles, the Resurs air defense system is capable of providing reliable air defense not only to the ship on which it is installed, but also to other ships of the squadron. Add to this the possibility of effective destruction of ships from a frigate and below, and we get a universal weapon system for pennants of light classes.
At the moment it is known that the newest "Resource" complex has already passed state tests and is in trial operation on several corvettes and frigates of Project 22350.
