A combined anti-satellite system is being created in Russia

5

Russia will create a new combined anti-satellite system. It will consist of the Kontakt missile system based on the MiG-31D fighter-interceptor, the A-60 Sokol-Echelon combat laser based on the Il-76 military transport aircraft and the Peresvet ground-based laser system, reports the magazine of the Russian Defense Ministry. "War Thought".

The combination is necessary in order to have greater flexibility and the ability to influence targets with various methods - from laser radiation to missiles.



A combined anti-satellite system is being created in Russia

The development of a new air-based system designed to destroy low-orbit spacecraft is based on the existing extensive scientific and technical reserve and newly developed of technologies. Work on the basis of the MiG-31D carrier aircraft and the 79M6 Kontakt missile has been carried out since 1984.


Recall that recently the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the Ukrainian side is trying to influence Russian communications satellites. Such actions are “an outrageous violation of international law,” the ministry stressed. The Russian side has the right to respond in an appropriate way, all the necessary opportunities for this are available.

Earlier Ukrainian sources сообщили about the frequent use of glide bombs by the Russian Aerospace Forces in March in various areas of the special operation. Such ammunition was used, in particular, in the Donetsk direction, in the Avdiivka area, and the Sumy region.

    laughing 333rd warning of our MID. We will probably expand the "red line" again!
    Do Khokhlomaniacs have the technical ability to influence our communications satellites? Or do NATO countries have these opportunities?
    Will we "knock down" NATO satellites?
    Everyone has already spat and trampled on "International Law", only our Foreign Ministry is playing around!
    Respect, ((fear)), strong, not talkative!

    The MiG-31 is becoming more and more in demand.
    Isn't it time to restore its production?!

      Then it is already necessary to modernize it deeply, but it is better to create and start mass production of a new fighter-interceptor, more modern and efficient, capable of destroying all types of high-speed and high-altitude targets and even reach out to enemy satellites.

    The MiG-31 was developed in the USSR in 1970, i.e. 53 years ago. Now in the combat composition of the units - about 120-130 vehicles. There is little left. Modernization and the release of new ones are needed. On aircraft developed in 1970, modern anti-satellite cannot be created. It is necessary to consider the concept of creating a high-altitude stratospheric attack aircraft-bomber based on the MiG-31. SVO in Ukraine showed the need to have such aircraft. Dropping gliding guided bombs, missiles from a height of 30 kilometers increases the survivability of the aircraft, the height gives time to leave the affected area. Ahead of the Russian Federation, in addition to Ukraine, there are many military conflicts.

    Replica. We constantly hear: it is created, provided for an exhibition, etc., but we don’t hear: it is created and mass-produced. Why so, it seems that all works with single copies are similar to cuts in advances, without even thinking about mass production. Or the fifth column in the Russian Federation operates and sabotages everything. Solving this problem should be a top priority, from the Cabinet of Ministers of the Russian Federation to the FSB.
