. Russia has updated the guide and control software of its Balistic missiles Iskander and Kinzhal with the intention of overcoming the patriot defense systems that kyiv has received from the US.
And, according to the the data suggest that the country chaired by Vladimir Putin is achieving that goal, since since the Russian missiles experienced that ‘face washing’, The interception rate by the Ukrainian patriot has collapsed.
Specifically, the ballistic destruction rate of Ukraine It has gone from 37% in the month of August to just 6% in September. This has been pointed out by Ukrainians and Western to the aforementioned means of communication.
The reason is that after the update of the Iskander and Kinzhal software, The missiles who arrive at Ukraine fly with a conventional experience of experience, but They carry out abrupt final dives and lateral displacements.
Those new movements of Russian missiles, apparently, are achieving disable radar tracking And, consequently, reduce considerably the Effectiveness of patriot defense systems.
This increase in destructive capacity by Russian forces comes at a very delicate time, a few months before winter startsin which the energy demand to deal with the cold shoots.
Probably, Russia will use that new superiority of the Balistic Missiles Iskander and Kinzhal on patriot defense systems for Attack the Ukrainian critical energy infrastructure.
Western officials consulted by the Financial Times They point out that The solution To recover the ballistic destruction rate prior to the software update of the Russian missiles would be Accelerate the defense systems adaptation cycle. This would consist, among other things, in Modify the software Ukrainian both regarding Radar processing as in the Guide laws of interceptors.
