Zrk dirk and dagger. Is the newest Kinzhal missile system an airborne version of the ground-based Iskander? Unique missile system

Anti-aircraft missile system"Dagger" is a multi-channel, all-pod, autonomous short-range anti-aircraft missile system capable of repelling a massive attack of low-flying anti-ship, anti-radar missiles, guided and unguided bombs, airplanes, helicopters, etc.

The lead developer of the complex is NPO Altair (chief designer is S. A. Fadeev), the anti-aircraft missile is the Fakel design bureau.

Ship tests of the complex began in 1982 on the Black Sea on a small anti-submarine ship, Project 1124. During demonstration firing in the spring of 1986, 4 P-35 cruise missiles were launched from coastal installations at the MPK. All P-35s were shot down by 4 Kinzhal air defense missiles. The tests were difficult and missed all deadlines. So, for example, it was supposed to equip the Novorossiysk aircraft carrier with the Kinzhal, but it was put into service with “holes” for the Kinzhal. On the first ships of Project 1155, one complex was installed instead of the required two.

Only in 1989, the Kinzhal air defense system was officially adopted by large anti-submarine ships of Project 1155, on which 8 modules of 8 missiles were installed.

Currently, the Kinzhal air defense system is in service with the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral Kuznetsov, the nuclear-powered missile cruiser Pyotr Velikiy (Project 1144.4), large anti-submarine ships Project 1155, 11551 and the newest patrol ships of the Neustrashimy type.

The Kinzhal air defense system is offered to foreign buyers under the name Blade.

In the west the complex received the designation SA-N-9 GAUNTLET.

The complex uses a remote-controlled anti-aircraft missile 9M330-2, unified with the missile of the Tor land complex, or the 9M331 missile defense system of the Tor-M complex. The 9M330-2 is made according to the canard aerodynamic configuration and uses a freely rotating wing unit. Its wings are foldable, which made it possible to place the 9M330 in an extremely “compressed” TPK with a square section. The missile launch is vertical under the action of a catapult with further declination of the missile by a gas-dynamic system, with the help of which in less than one second, in the process of rising to the launch altitude of the main engine, the missile turns towards the target.

The detonation of a high-explosive fragmentation warhead is carried out at the command of a pulse radio fuse in close proximity to the target. The radio fuse is noise-resistant and adapts when approaching the water surface. The missiles are placed in transport and launch containers and do not need to be checked for 10 years.

The Kinzhal air defense system is equipped with its own radar detection equipment (module K-12–1), providing the complex with complete independence and operational actions in the most difficult situations. The multichannel complex is based on phased array antennas with electronic beam control and a booster computing complex. The main operating mode of the complex is automatic (without the participation of personnel), based on the principles of “ artificial intelligence».

The television-optical target detection devices built into the antenna post not only increase its immunity to interference in conditions of intense radio countermeasures, but also allow personnel to visually assess the nature of tracking and hitting targets. The radar equipment of the complex was developed at the Kvant Research Institute under the leadership of V.I. Guz and provides a detection range of air targets of 45 km at an altitude of 3.5 km.

The Kinzhal can simultaneously fire at up to four targets in a spatial sector of 60° by 60°, while up to 8 missiles are aimed in parallel. The reaction time of the complex ranges from 8 to 24 seconds depending on the radar mode. In addition to the missile defense system, the fire control system of the Kinzhal complex can control the fire of 30-mm AK-360M assault rifles, finishing off surviving targets at a distance of up to 200 meters.

The 4S95 launcher of the Kinzhal complex was developed by the Start design bureau under the leadership of chief designer A.I. Yaskin. The launcher is below deck and consists of 3–4 drum-type launch modules, each containing 8 TPKs with missiles. The weight of the module without missiles is 41.5 tons, the occupied area is 113 square meters. m.

History of creation

In the 80s, at NPO "Altair" under the leadership of S.A. Fadeev created the Kinzhal short-range air defense system.

The Kinzhal air defense system is a multi-channel, all-mounted, autonomous complex capable of repelling a massive attack of low-flying anti-ship, anti-radar missiles, guided and unguided bombs, airplanes, helicopters, etc.

"Dagger" can simultaneously fire at up to four targets in a spatial sector of 60 degrees. at 60 degrees, while aiming up to 8 missiles in parallel.

The reaction time of the complex ranges from 8 to 24 seconds depending on the radar mode.

The combat capabilities of the Kinzhal have been increased by 5-6 times compared to the Osa-M air defense system.

In addition to the missile defense system, the Kinzhal complex can control the fire of 30-mm AK-360M assault rifles, finishing off surviving targets at a distance of up to 200 meters.

The complex uses a remote-controlled anti-aircraft missile 9M330-2, unified with the missile of the Tor land complex. The missile launch is vertical under the action of a catapult with further deflection of the missile by the gas-dynamic system towards the target. The engine is started at a safe altitude for the ship after the rocket has descended.

The warhead is detonated directly at the command of a pulse radio fuse in close proximity to the target. The radio fuse is noise-resistant and adapts when approaching the water surface. Warhead - high-explosive fragmentation type. The missiles are placed in transport and launch containers (TPC). The missiles do not need to be tested for 10 years.

The launchers of the Kinzhal complex were developed by the Start design bureau under the leadership of chief designer A.I. Yaskina. The launcher is below deck, consists of 3-4 drum-type launch modules, each containing 8 TPK with missiles. The weight of the module without missiles is 41.5 tons, the occupied area is 113 square meters. m. Calculation of the complex is 8 people.

The tests were difficult and missed all deadlines. So, for example, it was supposed to equip the Novossiysk aircraft carrier with the Kinzhal, but it was put into service with “holes” for the Kinzhal. On the first ships of Project 1155, one complex was installed instead of the required two.

And finally, in 1989, the Kinzhal air defense system was officially adopted by large anti-submarine ships of Project 1155, on which 8 modules of 8 missiles were installed.

The Kinzhal air defense system is offered to foreign buyers under the name "Blade".

In the 80s, at NPO Altair, under the leadership of S.A. Fadeev created the Kinzhal short-range air defense system. Anti-aircraft guided missiles for the complex were developed by the Fakel IKB.

Ship tests of the complex began in 1982 on the Black Sea on a small anti-submarine ship pr.1124. During demonstration firing in the spring of 1986, 4 P-35 cruise missiles were launched from coastal installations at the MPK. All P-35s were shot down by 4 Kinzhal air defense missiles. The tests were difficult and the deadline for putting the complex into service had to be periodically pushed back; it also took quite a long time for the industry to establish serial production"Daggers". As a result, a number of Navy ships had to be accepted under-equipped. For example, the Kinzhal was supposed to equip the Novorossiysk aircraft carrier, but it was put into service with reserved volumes for the Kinzhal. On the first ships of Project 1155, one complex was installed instead of the required two. It was only in 1989 that the Kinzhal air defense system was officially put into service.

The Kinzhal air defense system is a multi-channel, all-weather, autonomous complex capable of repelling a massive attack of low-flying anti-ship, anti-radar missiles, guided and unguided bombs, airplanes, helicopters, etc. The Kinzhal air defense system uses the basic circuit design of the S-300F Fort air defense system - the presence of a multifunctional radar, the launch of missiles from the TPK in the drum-type VPU. The complex can receive target designation from any shipborne CC detection radar.

The complex is equipped with its own radar detection equipment (module K-12-1), providing the complex with complete independence and operational actions in the most difficult situations. The multichannel complex is based on phased array antennas with electronic beam control and a high-speed computing complex. The target detection radar has a range of up to 45 km and operates in the K (X,1) band. Distinctive feature The transmitting device of the radar complex is its alternate operation in the target and missile channels. Depending on the operating mode, the sending frequencies and pulse durations change. AP radar "Dagger" is combined, as in the Osa-M air defense system: the antenna of the CC detection radar is combined with the AP of firing stations and is a phased array. The main phased array provides additional search and tracking of targets and guidance of missiles at them, the other two are designed to capture the response signal of a launched missile and place it on a marching trajectory. Using your digital computing complex The Kinzhal air defense system can operate in various modes, incl. in fully automatic mode: acquisition of a target for tracking, generation of data for firing, launching and targeting of missiles, evaluation of firing results and transfer of fire to other targets. The main operating mode of the complex is automatic (without the participation of personnel), based on the principles of “artificial intelligence”. The television-optical target detection devices built into the antenna post not only increase its immunity to interference in conditions of intense radio countermeasures, but also allow personnel to visually assess the nature of tracking and hitting targets. The radar equipment of the complex was developed at the Kvant Research Institute under the leadership of V.I. Guz and provide a detection range of air targets of 45 km at an altitude of 3.5 km.

"Dagger" can simultaneously fire at up to four targets in a spatial sector of 60 degrees. at 60 degrees, while up to 8 missiles are aimed in parallel. The reaction time of the complex ranges from 8 to 24 seconds depending on the radar mode. The combat capabilities of the Kinzhal compared to the Osa-M air defense system have been increased by 5-6 times. In addition to the missile defense system, the Kinzhal complex can control the fire of 30-mm AK-360M assault rifles, finishing off surviving targets at a distance of up to 200 meters.

The complex uses a remote-controlled anti-aircraft missile 9M330-2, unified with the missile of the Tor land complex. The rocket was developed at the Fakel design bureau under the leadership of P.D. Grushina. It is single-stage with a dual-mode solid propellant engine. The missiles are placed in transport and launch containers (TPC), which ensures their safety, constant combat readiness, ease of transportation and safety when loading into the launcher. Rockets do not need to be tested for 10 years. The 9M330 is made according to the canard aerodynamic configuration and uses a freely rotating wing unit. Its wings are foldable, which made it possible to place the 9M330 in an extremely “compressed” TPK with a square section. The launch of the missile is vertical using a catapult with further deflection of the missile by the gas-dynamic system towards the target. Rockets can be launched on a rolling pitch of up to 20 degrees. The engine is started at a safe altitude for the ship after the rocket has descended. Aiming the missiles at the target is carried out by remote control. The warhead is detonated directly at the command of a pulse radio fuse in close proximity to the target. The radio fuse is noise-resistant and adapts when approaching the water surface. Warhead - high-explosive fragmentation type.

Currently, the Kinzhal air defense system is in service with the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral Kuznetsov, nuclear-powered missile cruisers Project 1144.2 "Orlan", large anti-submarine ships Project 1155, 1155.1 "Udaloy" (installed 8 modules of 8 missiles each) and the newest patrol ship "Neustrashimy" Project 11540 "Yastreb". On this moment anti-aircraft missile system"Dagger" is the best medium-range naval air defense system in the world.

On the first day of spring, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the Federal Assembly with his annual message. The head of state spoke about recent successes and set new goals. In addition, he touched upon the topic of strategic weapons designed to ensure the country's security. In the future, all major branches of the armed forces will receive new systems, including combat aviation. It is proposed to use the Kinzhal aviation missile system together with existing aircraft.

V. Putin began the story about new weapons for the aerospace forces with a reminder of current trends in the field of aerospace technologies. Now leading countries with great scientific potential and modern technologies are developing the so-called. hypersonic weapons. Next, the president gave a short “lecture” on physics and aerodynamics. He pointed out that the speed of sound is traditionally measured in mach, a unit named after the Austrian physicist Ernst Mach. At an altitude of 11 km, Mach 1 is equal to 1062 km/h. Speed from M=1 to M=5 is considered supersonic, more than M=5 – hypersonic.

Weapons with hypersonic speed flight gives the armed forces the most serious advantages over the enemy. Such weapons can be highly powerful, and their high speed protects them from interception by anti-aircraft or missile defense. Interceptors simply cannot catch up with the attacking product. As the president said, it is understandable why the leading countries of the world are striving to acquire such weapons. But Russia already has such means.

V. Putin called the development of a high-precision aviation missile system, which is said to have no analogues in foreign countries, the most important stage in the creation of modern weapons. Testing of this system has already been completed. Moreover, from December 1 new complex used on experimental combat duty at airfields in the Southern Military District.

MiG-31BM takes off with a Kinzhal missile

According to V. Putin, the rocket, with the help of a high-speed carrier aircraft, should reach the launch site in a matter of minutes. After release, the rocket reaches a speed ten times the speed of sound. Throughout the entire trajectory, despite the high speed, the product is capable of performing maneuvers. The ability to change the flight path allows you to protect the missile from enemy defenses. According to the President, new rocket is guaranteed to overcome modern and, possibly, promising air defense and missile defense systems. Hypersonic missile capable of flying at a range of up to 2 thousand km and delivering a conventional or nuclear warhead to a target.

Unlike some others promising developments, presented last week, the aviation missile system has already received its own name. It was designated as "Dagger". Other names and designations, such as GRAU index, working project code, etc. the president did not bring it.

As is the case with others the latest designs weapons, the president’s words were followed by a demonstration video showing interesting footage from tests of a promising missile system. Video footage most clearly confirms V. Putin’s statements about testing. Some of the stages of one of the test launches, filmed by military cameramen, were allowed to be used in the video for showing to the general public.

Airplane before dropping a rocket

The video begins with footage of the MiG-31BM fighter-interceptor taking off. Already during the takeoff run, it is clear that under the bottom of its fuselage there is not the usual and standard ammunition suspended, but some new weapon. The interceptor lifts a large and massive new type of missile into the air. Part of the further flight to the launch point, however, was shown using simplified computer graphics. But then again there was a video recording of real tests with a real rocket launch.

While on a given course and maintaining a certain altitude and speed, the carrier aircraft dropped the Kinzhal missile. In free flight, it “failed” in altitude, after which it dropped the tail fairing and started the main engine. The flight of the rocket was again not shown in the form of documentary footage and was depicted schematically. In the next episode, a computer model of an aircraft dropped an animated missile, and it headed along a ballistic trajectory towards the mock enemy ship. It is worth noting that the drawn target ship had a recognizable appearance and was similar to some real sample.

Product X-47M2 separated

The final stages of the missile's flight, reaching the target area and then aiming at it, were shown using graphics. Moreover, this time the “camera” was located directly on board the rocket. The product headed towards the enemy ship, went into a dive, and then the video signal, as expected, disappeared. However, the video showed the defeat of a target, albeit a different one. The ammunition fell on a land fortification and blew it up. The MiG-31BM carrier aircraft, in turn, returned to the airfield and landed.

Shortly after the end of the president’s speech, new information about the Dagger project appeared. Thus, the Russian press cited the second designation of the new missile - Kh-47M2. The Commander of the Aerospace Forces, Colonel General Sergei Surovikin, indicated that the new missile belongs to the class of hypersonic aeroballistic weapons. According to him, state tests of the new complex have already been carried out at the training grounds of the Ministry of Defense. During inspections, it fully confirmed its effectiveness. All missile launches resulted in accurate destruction of the intended targets.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces also revealed some details of the combat operation of the Dagger product. Thus, in the final ballistic phase of the flight, the missile uses an all-weather homing head. This ensures the possibility of using the missile at any time of the day while obtaining the required accuracy and selectivity in hitting the target. The maximum speed of a rocket in flight is 10 times the speed of sound. The firing range, as confirmed by the commander in chief, reaches 2 thousand km.

Tail cone reset

Thus, in the interests of the Aerospace Forces, a new aeroballistic missile was developed, suitable for the destruction of various ground or surface objects. The Kh-47M2 “Dagger” product can carry both a conventional and a special warhead, which expands the range of tasks it can solve. MiG-31 interceptors of the latest BM modification are currently used as carriers.

One of the most interesting features Project "Dagger" is the choice of carrier aircraft. They decided to use the air-to-surface missile with a fighter whose armament is based on air-to-air products. The reasons for this are obvious. The maximum speed of the MiG-31BM aircraft at altitude reaches 3,400 km/h, which allows it to reach the launch point in a minimum time. In addition, the high flight speed of the carrier when releasing the rocket allows one to obtain some advantages. At the moment of release, the rocket already has a high initial speed, and therefore the energy of its engine is spent only on subsequent acceleration with access to a quasi-ballistic trajectory.

Engine starting

Thus, the missile's potential, provided by hypersonic flight speed, is not reduced due to insufficient carrier parameters. From the point of view of flight speed, preliminary acceleration of the missile and speed of solving combat missions, the MiG-31BM is the most successful platform.

The X-47M2 product has a very simple shapes and outlines. The rocket received a conical head fairing, which accounts for about half the length of the product. The second half of the body is formed by a cylindrical section equipped with X-shaped planes in the tail section. During the flight under the aircraft, the smooth tail section of the hull is equipped with a disposable fairing in the shape of a truncated cone. Exact information about the design of the product has not yet been provided, but we can already say that it is equipped with a solid propellant propulsion engine. The type of homing head is unknown.

It should be noted that the new aircraft rocket outwardly very similar to the ballistic ammunition of the Iskander operational-tactical complex. In the past, there were rumors at various levels about the possible creation of an aviation modification of this system, but they have not yet received official confirmation. The characteristic exterior of the newest Kinzhal missile can serve as a kind of confirmation of rumors of the recent past. At the same time, similarities can only be due to similar technical requirements and tactical roles.

The rocket headed towards the target

It is alleged that the Kinzhal missile belongs to the aeroballistic class. This means that the product is dropped from the carrier aircraft, after which it turns on the engine and, with its help, enters an upward trajectory. Further, the flight occurs almost the same as in the case of other ballistic missiles. The difference between the Kh-47M2 and other systems is determined by the use of a homing head. The devices, the type of which has not yet been specified, are used to detect the target and correct the missile's course at all stages of the flight, including the downward portion of the ballistic trajectory. In the latter case, the most accurate hit at the specified target is ensured.

The promising Kinzhal, like the already well-known Iskander, has characteristic capabilities: the missiles of both complexes are capable of maneuvering on a trajectory. Because of this anti-missile systems the enemy loses the ability to timely calculate the trajectory of an approaching missile and correctly intercept it. On the descending part of the trajectory, the rocket develops maximum speed, up to M=10, which sharply reduces the permissible reaction time. As a result, the Kinzhal system is truly capable of showing the highest combat characteristics and break through the existing air and missile defense system.

Demonstration of the principles of constructing a flight path

First, Vladimir Putin, and then Sergei Surovikin spoke about recent work within the framework of the project with the “Dagger” code. No later than last fall, industry and the Ministry of Defense carried out all the necessary tests of the newest missile, and also completed its development. Already on December 1, an order appeared to accept the new missile for experimental combat operation. The X-47M2 product is operated as part of a full-fledged complex, which also includes the MiG-31BM carrier aircraft. So far, only aviation units from the Southern Military District have new weapons.

Apparently, in the foreseeable future the armed forces will complete trial operation the latest weapons, and soon after this the Kinzhal complex will receive a recommendation for adoption. The result of this will be the rearmament of aviation units, accompanied by a significant increase in the strike potential of tactical aviation.

The rocket hits the target

It should be recalled that at the moment Russian tactical aviation only has air-to-surface systems with a launch range of tens or hundreds of kilometers. Products capable of flying thousands of kilometers are in service only in strategic aviation. The Kinzhal missile system with a launch range of up to 2000 km will actually occupy an intermediate position between purely tactical and exclusively strategic weapons. With its help, it will be possible to strike enemy targets at operational-strategic depth as quickly as possible.

Greater flexibility of use will be ensured by the existence of special and non-nuclear warheads. Depending on the task at hand and the type of object being attacked, it will be possible to choose one or another warhead. Thus, the combat qualities of the Kh-47M2 missile will fully correspond to its “intermediate” position. Tactical aviation, in turn, will bring its capabilities closer to strategic ones.

All promising samples strategic weapons, presented by Vladimir Putin last Thursday, were created in the interests of nuclear forces and to ensure deterrence of a potential adversary. The Kinzhal aviation missile system fully meets such tasks, although it turns out to be more flexible and versatile in comparison with other systems. Depending on the situation in the theater of military operations, it can become a means of a powerful strike by tactical aviation forces or solve problems inherent in strategic complexes.

The Kinzhal missile system has already passed almost all stages of testing, including state tests. Based on the results of development work, it was placed on experimental combat duty in units of the Aerospace Forces. Thus, the armed forces have already received one of the newest models of strike weapons and are now mastering them. In the foreseeable future, upon completion of all required checks and trial operation, the new missile will be put into service and delivered to parts warehouses. The potential of the Aerospace Forces will increase noticeably, and along with it, the country’s defense capability will improve.

The Kinzhal air defense system (3K95, export - Blade) is a multi-channel, all-weather, autonomous complex capable of repelling a massive attack of low-flying anti-ship, anti-radar missiles, guided and unguided bombs, airplanes, and helicopters. In the 80s it was created under the leadership of S.A. Fadeev in NPO "Altair".

SAM Dagger - video

In the Soviet Union, work on creating modern, highly effective shipborne self-defense systems began in the second half of the 1970s. The command and specialists of the USSR Navy were able to promptly discern the threat posed by the latest anti-ship missiles. At the same time, work on the creation of such systems went in two directions - the creation of rapid-fire artillery systems, in the design of the barrel block of which it was decided to use the principle of the American designer Gatling (a rotating block of barrels), and the development of completely new, by and large unique ship-based anti-aircraft missile systems, distinctive the features of which were to be a high degree of response and guidance/homing accuracy, as well as high fire performance, ensuring the ability to effectively destroy such complex targets as low-flying anti-ship missiles.

As part of this process, in 1975, specialists from the State Research and Production Association (SNPO) "Altair" under the leadership of S.A. Fadeev, on instructions from the command of the Soviet Navy, began work on a new multi-channel shipborne air defense system, which was given the name “Dagger” (NATO designation – SA-N-9 “Gauntlet”, later the export designation “Blade” appeared).

In addition to SNPO Altair (today – JSC MNIRE “Altair”), designated as the general developer of the Kinzhal complex as a whole, the Design Bureau (KB) Fakel (today – JSC MKB Fakel named after. Academician P.D. Grushin"; developer and manufacturer weapon anti-aircraft complex guided missile type 9M330), Serpukhov OJSC "Ratep" (developer and manufacturer of the complex's control system), Sverdlovsk Research and Production Enterprise (NPP) "Start" (developer and manufacturer of the complex's launcher) and other organizations and enterprises of the domestic defense-industrial complex.

When developing a new ship complex, in order to obtain high performance characteristics, the developer decided to widely use the fundamental circuit solutions obtained during the creation shipborne air defense system long-range "Fort", namely a multi-channel radar with a phased array antenna with electronic beam control and a vertical launch of missiles from transport and launch containers located in a below-deck "revolver" type launcher (a launcher option for 8 missiles was chosen for the complex). In addition, to increase the autonomy of the new complex, similar to the Osa-M air defense system, the control system of the Kinzhal air defense system included its own all-round radar, located at a single antenna post 3P95.

The new air defense system used a radio command guidance system for anti-aircraft guided missiles, which was distinguished by high accuracy (effectiveness). Plus, in order to ensure increased noise immunity, a television-optical tracking system was additionally included in the antenna post. Ultimately, according to experts, compared to the old shipborne air defense system of the Osa-M type, combat capabilities The Kinzhal-type air defense system was increased by approximately 5-6 times.

SAM "Dagger" on the BOD "Admiral Vinogradov"

Tests of the Kinzhal air defense system took place in the Black Sea, starting in 1982, on a small anti-submarine ship MPK-104, completed according to a specially modified project 1124K. According to data published in the open press, during demonstration firing in the spring of 1986, the complex installed on board the MPK-104, four missiles shot down all four P-35 cruise missiles, which were used as simulators of enemy air attack weapons and launched from coastal launchers. However, the high novelty and complexity of the new missile system led to a serious delay in its development and refinement, so it was only by 1986 that the Kinzhal-type air defense system was finally adopted by the USSR Navy. But on large anti-submarine ships of Project 1155, in full, according to the previously approved plan, configuration option - 8 modules of 8 missiles each - the complex was installed only in 1989. Around the second half of the 1990s. a complex called “Blade” is offered for export, supplies are already available.

It should be especially noted that the technical and technological difficulties that the developers of the Kinzhal air defense system had to face led to the fact that, despite the initial requirement of the customer’s tactical and technical specifications, to meet the weight and size characteristics of the ship’s self-defense air defense system of the Osa-M type, to fulfill this condition was not possible. Ultimately, this made it possible to equip this complex only warships with a displacement of 800 tons and above. However, the characteristics of the complex make it possible to place 2-4 Kinzhal anti-aircraft missile systems on ships of medium and large displacement, and the control system of each of them can control four launchers.

The shipborne multi-channel all-weather autonomous anti-aircraft missile system for self-defense of surface ships "Dagger" (3K95) is designed for self-defense of surface ships and vessels - repelling, in conditions of intense electronic countermeasures, massive attacks of unmanned and manned air attack weapons operating at low and medium altitudes, especially low-flying high-speed high-precision anti-ship cruise missiles With modern systems guidance (homing), as well as for hitting surface targets (ships and vessels) and such “borderline” models of equipment as ekranoplanes and ekranoplanes.

The complex has a modular design and high modernization potential, and also - which is not very widely known - can be used in an onshore version. The Kinzhal complex is capable of independently detecting air and sea targets and hitting up to four targets simultaneously with controlled anti-aircraft missiles. The complex can use information - target designation data - from general ship target designation systems, as well as control the fire of rapid-fire 30-mm anti-aircraft gun mounts included in the general circuit, which makes it possible to complete the shooting of air targets that have broken through the firing lines of anti-aircraft guided missiles or unexpectedly appearing targets at a nearby line – at a distance of 200 m from the ship. The combat operation of the complex is fully automated, but can also be carried out with active participation operators. In the spatial sector 60x60 degrees. The Kinzhal complex is capable of simultaneously firing eight missiles at four air targets.

The Kinzhal complex in its basic (standard) version includes

Combat assets - anti-aircraft guided missiles of the 9M330-2 family, supplied in transport and launch containers (TPC);

Below-deck launchers of type 3S95 - revolving type with vertical launch of missiles from TPK (three - four launching modules (installations) of the “revolving" type, each of which houses 8 missiles in sealed transport and launch containers);

Shipboard multi-channel control system;

Ground handling facilities.

The 9M330-2 anti-aircraft guided missile was developed at the Fakel design bureau under the leadership of P.D. Grushin and was unified with the missile defense system used in the army self-propelled air defense system "Tor", which was created almost simultaneously with the ship-based air defense system "Dagger". The missile is designed to destroy various air attack weapons (tactical and naval aircraft, helicopters, guided missiles of various classes, including anti-ship and anti-radar, and guided and adjustable aerial bombs, as well as unmanned aircraft various classes and types) in a wide range of conditions combat use. The use of these missiles is also possible against small surface targets.

The 9M330-2 rocket is single-stage, made according to the canard aerodynamic design with a freely rotating tail wing unit that can be opened after launch, has a dual-mode solid propellant rocket engine(solid propellant rocket motor) and is equipped with a unique gas-dynamic system, which after the launch of the rocket - before turning on its booster-maintenance solid propellant engine - causes it to tilt (orient) towards the target. The rocket launch is vertical from an below-deck launcher, using a catapult placed in the transport and launch container of the rocket, without first turning the launcher towards the target.

Structurally, the 9M330-2 type missile includes several compartments in which the following systems and equipment (equipment) are located: radio fuse, missile rudder control units, gas-dynamic missile declination system, high-explosive fragmentation combat unit, onboard equipment units, dual-mode solid propellant rocket motor and control command receivers.

The missile's warhead is high-explosive fragmentation with high-energy fragments (high penetrating force) and a non-contact pulse radio fuse. The missile guidance system is radio command, based on radio commands from a guidance station located on the ship (telecontrol). The missile warhead is detonated as it approaches the target, following a command from a radio fuse or a command from a guidance station. The radio fuse is noise-proof and adapts when approaching the water surface.

“The missile has high aerodynamic qualities, good maneuverability, controllability and stability through control channels and ensures the destruction of maneuvering and straight-flying high-speed targets,” the reference book “Weapons and Technologies of Russia. Encyclopedia of the XXI century. Volume III: Armament Navy"(Publishing House "Weapons and Technologies", 2001, pp. 209-214).

The 9M330-2 missile has the following main performance characteristics: rocket length - 2895 mm, rocket body diameter - 230 mm, wingspan - 650 mm, rocket weight - 167 kg, rocket warhead weight - 14.5 - 15.0 kg, rocket flight speed - 850 m/s, zone destruction range - 1.5 - 12 km, destruction zone in height - 10 - 6000 m. The missile is operated in a special sealed transport and launch container, does not require checks and adjustments throughout its entire service life (guaranteed storage period on the carrier or in arsenal without inspections and maintenance - up to 10 years). It should be noted that placing the missile in a sealed transport and launch container makes it possible to ensure its high safety, constant combat readiness, ease of transportation and safety when loading missiles into the launcher of the ship's Kinzhal air defense system.

Eight-container drum (or “revolving”) type launchers 3S95, located under the ship’s deck, provide the so-called “cold” (ejection) launch of missiles with an inoperative engine - the latter is turned on only after the missile reaches a safe height above the deck (superstructures) and its declination in the direction of the target being fired. This method of launching missiles allows one to avoid the destructive impact of the missile's torch on ship structures and allows for the minimum value of the near boundary of the Kinzhal complex's destruction zone. A distinctive feature of the complex’s launch system is the ability to fire missiles from below-deck launchers in conditions of rolling up to 20°. The estimated interval between starts is only 3 seconds. The launcher of the complex includes three or four unified launchers (modules) with autonomous guidance drives, and the launcher – “revolving” or drum type – has a launcher cover that rotates relative to the launcher drum, covering the launch window through which the ejection is made anti-aircraft guided missile. The launcher was developed by specialists from NPP Start under the leadership of chief designer A.I. Yaskina.

The ship's control system of the Kinzhal complex was developed by specialists from Ratep JSC (Serpukhov), is multi-channel and is designed for the simultaneous use of missile and artillery weapons of the complex against any of the tracked targets. The control system of the Kinzhal air defense system solves the problems set out in the software package and includes a detection module that solves the following problems: detection of air targets, including low-flying ones, and surface targets; simultaneous tracking of up to 8 targets; analysis of the air situation with the placement of targets according to the degree of danger; generation of target designation data and issuance of data (range, bearing and elevation); issuing (data) target designation to the ship's air defense systems.

Control panels for the Kinzhal air defense system

The control system of the Kinzhal anti-aircraft missile system includes:

Radar means of target detection and identification;

Radar means for target tracking and missile guidance;

Television-optical means of target tracking;

High-speed digital computing complex;

Automatic starting equipment;

30 mm fire control system artillery installations type AK-630M/AK-306, which is installed at the request of the customer.

“The original design of the antenna post provides for the placement on a single base of parabolic mirror antennas of a detection module with built-in identification antennas and phased array antennas (PAA) with electronic beam control, intended for tracking targets, capturing and guiding missiles,” states the Weapons reference book. and technologies of Russia. Encyclopedia of the XXI century. Volume III: Armament of the Navy" (p. 209-214). A distinctive feature of the radar transmitting device of the missile fire control system of the complex is its alternate operation in the target and missile channels.

The radar control system of the Kinzhal air defense system includes its own two-dimensional noise-immune all-round radar for detecting air and surface targets (module K-12-1), which has a constant rotation speed - 30 or 12 revolutions per minute - and is capable of detecting air targets at at an altitude of 3.5 km at a range of up to 45 km and providing the Kinzhal complex with complete independence (autonomy) and high efficiency of action, in conditions of the most complicated situation due to various circumstances.

The operation of the ship's anti-aircraft missile system is ensured by a modern digital computing complex, which is distinguished by its advanced software, created on the basis of multi-program two-machine information processing in real time, and provides a high degree of automation of the combat work of the entire complex. The computer complex ensures operation of the Kinzhal air defense system in various modes, including fully automatic mode, when all actions to detect a target using its own radars or receiving target designation data from general ship radars, acquiring a target (targets) for tracking, generating data for firing, launch and guidance of the missile (missiles), evaluation of firing results and transfer of fire to other targets are carried out automatically, using “artificial intelligence” and completely without the intervention (participation) of the air defense missile system combat crew operators. The presence of this mode provides the complex with a significantly higher combat potential (combat capabilities), including in comparison with the operation of weapon systems that use the “fire and forget” principle (in the case of the operation of the Kinzhal air defense system, the operator does not even have to worry about you need to find a target and fire at it - the complex does everything independently).

The use of phased antenna arrays, electronic beam control and the presence of a high-speed computer complex (computer) ensure the above-mentioned multi-channel nature of the Kinzhal air defense system. In addition, the presence of television-optical means for detecting air and surface targets built into the antenna post in the complex further increases its immunity to interference in conditions of intensive use of means by the enemy electronic warfare, and also allow the combat crew of the complex to perform a visual assessment of the results of tracking targets with the complex and their subsequent destruction.

The development of radar systems for the Kinzhal air defense system was carried out by specialists from the Kvant Research Institute (SRI) under the leadership of V.I. Guzya.

Modernization of the Kinzhal air defense system is carried out in the direction of improving its tactical, technical and operational characteristics, especially in terms of significantly increasing the damaging potential of the complex and expanding its destruction zone in range and height, as well as reducing the weight and size characteristics of the complex as a whole and its individual elements (subsystems).

The Kinzhal air defense system is currently installed on the following types of warships: Project 11435 TAVKR "Admiral of the Fleet" Soviet Union Kuznetsov" (24 launch modules of 8 missiles each, ammunition - 192 missiles), TARKR project 11442 "Peter the Great" (1 vertical launch unit, ammunition - 64 missiles), BOD project 1155 and 11551 (8 launch modules, ammunition - 64 SAM), TFR project 11540 (4 launch modules, ammunition - 32 SAM). The Kinzhal complex was also planned for placement on aircraft-carrying ships (aircraft carriers) of projects 11436 and 11437, which, however, were never completed.
