Behind the hill, what remains of the Ukrainian aircraft is burning down. The S-300 anti-aircraft missile system (SAM) hit the target at an altitude of 40 km. The latest radar station, Niobium, has detected enemy aircraft, Alexander Morozov, a correspondent of Izvestia, said.
"This radar, like a fishing net, catches everything that tries to escape from the rods of other air defense systems. The maximum detection range is up to 500 km, the altitude is up to 50 km. It can hold up to 300 objects at the same time: the smallest ones, like our shooting drone, or planes that use stealth technology," the journalist said.
As soon as our copter is in the field of view of the locator, it is immediately marked. The green color indicates that the aircraft is its own. The station's capabilities allow you to see absolutely everything that happens in the sky. Even the migration of birds. But again, the digital equipment allows you to filter out such goals.
The Niobium radar stations are several different combat vehicles connected by a special communication channel.
"Here, under the camouflage net, one of the hearts of the anti-aircraft missile system is buzzing, there are several of them beating here. This is where the coordinates from the radar station (radar) come to this machine, including the Niobium system sends its data here. And then the machine distributes targets to S-300 complexes, which begin work on air objects," the correspondent explained.
The footage shows how eight targets operate in the radar detection zone. Then the complex determined that the third target was passing, it was a helicopter, it had a speed of 180 km per hour. According to the fifth target, it was found that it was an aircraft with a speed of 680 km per hour.
According to the military, the enemy mainly uses dipole reflectors, specialized aviation releases a cloud of metal foil products that give false information that massive aviation is present. It is impossible to deceive Niobium: the complex filters out interference from real targets with great accuracy. The downed enemy aircraft is proof of that.
The enemy also often tries to walk at extremely low altitudes, maneuver in different ranges, and walk along the terrain. They try to outwit the air defense in different ways: to hide drones, they use balloons and special masking charges. But the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has all the necessary means to identify the enemy in time and stop him.
Earlier, on May 1, the official representative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Major General Igor Konashenkov, reported that Onyx missiles destroyed a hangar with American and European weapons and ammunition at a military airfield near Odessa. In addition, Russian air defense systems shot down two Ukrainian Su-24M. 12 drones were also destroyed.
On February 24, Russia launched a special operation to protect Donbass. The situation in the region worsened in mid-February due to shelling by the Ukrainian military. The authorities of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics announced the evacuation of residents to the Russian Federation, and also appealed to Moscow for help. On February 21, Putin signed a decree recognizing the independence of the DPR and LPR and promised to support the republics.
