Aeroballistic missiles of the Russian hypersonic complex " Dagger "will be launched in a new way, [...] Izvestia reports, referring to the corresponding contract of the Russian Defense Ministry.
The publication writes that previously "only aces" could launch "Daggers" on MiG-31K interceptor fighters "in manual mode". The newspaper notes that now these fighters " will receive a control system that will actually take over piloting at the time of launch: it will bring the aircraft to the specified flight mode, altitude and speed."
"There are very strict parameters for reaching the launch point. You need to maintain a certain speed at a certain height, observe other conditions when the score is for seconds. And at supersonic, it is already quite difficult to pilot an airplane with a product, it is also heavy. Not everyone will be able to perform such a start. As a result, a system was created to facilitate the work of the crew, " said Honored test Pilot, Hero of Russia Igor Malikov.
In may, the journal The National Interest called the five best Russian weapons at the Victory parade in Moscow on may 9: the family of "Armata" of the main battle tank T-14 and a heavy IFV T-15, an Intercontinental ballistic missile RS-24 "YARS", an unmanned ground combat vehicle "Uran-9", hypersonic missile "Dagger", installed on the modernized MiG-31K and the s-400 "Triumph".
