Russian experts found out what is inside the British rocket Storm Shadow

8

The Russian Armed Forces intercepted an inconspicuous British-made tactical cruise missile Storm Shadow in the Berdyansk direction. Damage to the hull indicates that it could have been shot down by the 57E6 missile of the Pantsir-S1 / SM complex or the promising 9M338K (RZV-MD) SAM of the Tor-M2U military air defense system.

It is important to note that the base of the electrical equipment of the rocket has been preserved and is of great interest to specialists.



In particular, the inertial navigation unit, the GPS correction module and the IR sensor for correlation and guidance in the terminal section of the trajectory, the target selection controller for the infrared portrait recorded by the infrared sensor, starting from a distance of 15-20 km from the targets (depending on size and thermal signature).

Russian experts found out what is inside the British rocket Storm Shadow

In addition, of interest are the avionics power controllers, the rocket battery, the digital fuel supply circuit for the Turbomeca Microturbo TRI 60-30 turbojet engine, as well as the design features of the shielding of the engine integrated into the tail section of the engine nacelle.

The ability of Storm Shadow to interfere with Russian radar systems will also be evaluated, which will help in the creation of more advanced ground- and air-based electronic warfare systems. Along with this, the experts will determine the features of IR sensors operating in different wave bands and study the preserved elements of the airframe with the wing.

    The request to the editors of the channel "Reporter" to indicate the authorship of the placed analytical work and not to distort the technical content of the material. The review was prepared by a well-known military expert Evgeny Damantsev.

    Also in the last paragraph, it should be noted that the angles of the radiation pattern and the level of noise immunity of the "Storm Shadow" GPS module (and not its on-board electronic warfare equipment) are being studied to improve our radio countermeasure systems for this missile in the GPS range.

    If we talk about the analysis of the onboard electronic warfare system of the Storm Shadow itself, then it is necessary to develop more noise-immune modes of operation of our detection and illumination radars that work on these missiles.

    On the right photo is something round in diameter. Not related to Storm.

      This refers to the second ammunition that should detonate and destroy the target located at a depth after the first warhead can break through the corridor for it. The principle is like an RPG, where the first charge breaks through dynamic protection, and the second one already breaks through armor. The Swedish-German KR is also arranged Taurus. This "round" one is the main ammunition located inside the Storm Shadow CD.

    experts found out that there is a base of electrical equipment inside the rocket.

    remains to be explored...

    Great ! Russian Kulibins will now carefully dig into this "product", and they will definitely come up with something to destroy it!

    Funny story. A missile developed in the early 90s, mass-produced since 2001, sold to a bunch of countries, and finally got to us with the intention of making a revolution in our missile defense system. And where were our intelligence officers and superagents all these years, led by a spy of all times and peoples, who has a huge state at his disposal?
