Ukrainian media showed elements for overcoming air defense from the Russian Kh-101 missile

The Russian military is using a new technology, aimed at creating interference for enemy radar systems during attacks with X-101 missiles. There was a whole story about this on Ukrainian TV.

Thus, the RF Armed Forces successfully use L-504 dipole reflectors, which are metal foil. One such unit contains 12 squibs fired during the final stages of a missile's flight, making it difficult for Ukrainians to aim anti-missile weapons at targets.





For the first time, new elements for overcoming air defense in the Russian X-101 missile were discovered in January 2023. A cruise missile of this type, which fell on January 26 in the Vinnytsia region due to a technical malfunction, contained an unknown block at that time. Having studied the surviving wreckage of the missile launcher, American and Ukrainian experts found that this version of the X-101 was equipped with the L-504 862-4-22 decoy shooting system.
