The Russian X-101 missile that fell near Vinnitsa revealed its features

February 1 2023 33

On January 26, a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile fell in the Vinnitsa region. Apparently due to technical issues. The American edition of The Drive published pictures of the remnants of ammunition, paying special attention to two features of the X-101.

The Russian X-101 missile that fell near Vinnitsa revealed its features

As you know, the X-101 is guided by satellite, but not only. One of the photos shows the “optical eye” of the Otblesk-U flight path correction system. The principle of its operation is that from photographs taken with the help of a reconnaissance satellite in orbit, flight maps are compiled.

Information about the route is stored in the memory of the on-board computer. In correction areas, these data are compared with the terrain - the route is automatically corrected. The system operates in a passive mode, therefore it cannot be suppressed by electronic warfare.

In other pictures you can see, presumably, a "dispenser" of means of counteracting enemy air defense. Probably, this is a block with heat traps (LTTs) of the type that are regularly installed on tactical aircraft and helicopters.

On the latest weapons, a self-destruction system should be installed in case of emergency. This has been done even since the Second World War, wartime requires the strictest secrecy, discipline, consistency, but so far we see a lot of inconsistency and connivance, especially at the command level of the RF Armed Forces ..

  The engine probably stopped, and the autopilot planned to the ground.

Technology failure is common. especially microelectronics.
But what can opponents do to disrupt the flight path correction system?
Change the terrain?
A cruise missile is not an ammunition that has a 100% hit rate.
Not every artillery shell hits the target right away.
I don't see the tragedy.

It is strange that the system for eliminating electronic components from hitting the ground did not work

Somehow lays beautifully. On the winter, evenly, without burrowing into the ground, and in general no traces of a fall. Dragged, laid, photographed? But in general, such a contraption should be equipped with a means of self-detonation. Well, it happens, over there, the Spaniards lost a similar one over Estonia, combat, and did not find it, drowned in the swamps, the explosion did not work.

This is the second case of the fall of the 101st without shooting down enemy air defenses! The first one was on our territory. There is a deterioration in the quality of the manufacture of ammunition or sabotage / wrecking!

The first photo clearly shows the multicooker that our servicemen stole from a house near Kherson and from which they later built this rocket

Well, how do Ukrainian S-300s fall so that the floor of the house is immediately blown away, right?

  Replica. S-300PS, that the air defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is no longer the latest weapons for about 20 years and there are no self-liquidators, today there is a self-liquidator on the S-400 and others. Read carefully and understand what is written.

The right author, well, it’s funny from such outright fakes. This is not an x-101 rocket, but something. And the shape of the head part is different, the location of the wing is in a completely different place, about the "Eye" is generally fun, but the diameter had to be observed, etc. . They have already reached the point that in Photoshop they hang American missiles on our strategic bombers. By the way, this nonsense has already been exposed.

A fall without saioliquidation is a characteristic of the general level of command and control. Impotent, and Prigogine is being crushed.

This was during the US Syrian campaign:

A textbook on materials science, a textbook on technology, fell on us from the sky. The achievements of American engineers will certainly be taken into account in the further development and modernization of Russian weapons of a similar purpose, such as Kalibr cruise missiles, Khodarenok says.

Several years have passed.
