History of creation

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

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

The complex is equipped with its own radar detection equipment (module K-12-1), which provides the complex with complete independence and prompt action in the most difficult environment. The multi-channel basis of the complex is phased antenna arrays with electronic beam control and a fast-operating computer complex. The main mode of operation of the complex is automatic (without the participation of personnel), based on the principles of "artificial intelligence". The television-optical target detection tools built into the antenna post not only increase its noise immunity under conditions of intense radio countermeasures, but also allow personnel to visually assess the nature of tracking and hitting targets. The radar facilities of the complex were developed at the Research Institute "Kvant" under the direction of V.I. Guzya and provide a range of detection 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 simultaneously aiming up to 8 missiles.

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

The combat capabilities of the "Dagger" in comparison with the "Osa-M" air defense system are increased by 5-6 times.

In addition to missiles, the Kinzhal complex can control the fire of 30-mm AK-360M assault rifles, completing the firing of surviving targets at a distance of up to 200 meters.

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

Undermining the warhead is carried out directly at the command of a pulsed radio fuse in the immediate vicinity of the target. The radio fuse is noise-immune and adapts when approaching the water surface. Warhead - high-explosive fragmentation type. Missiles are placed in transport and launch containers (TLC). Rockets 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 the chief designer A.I. Yaskin. The underdeck launcher consists of 3-4 drum-type launchers, each with 8 TPKs with missiles. The weight of the module without missiles is 41.5 tons, the occupied area is 113 sq. m. Calculation of the complex 8 people.

Ship tests of the complex were launched in 1982 on the Black Sea on a small anti-submarine ship pr. 1124. In the course of demonstration firing in the spring of 1986, 4 P-35 cruise missiles were launched at the MPK from coastal installations. All P-35s were shot down by 4 Kinzhal missiles.

The tests were difficult and with the failure of all deadlines. So, for example, it was supposed to arm 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, the complex was installed one instead of the prescribed two.

And finally, in 1989, the Kinzhal air defense system was officially adopted by large anti-submarine ships, pr. 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 Peter the Great (project 1144.4), large anti-submarine ships pr.1155, 11551 and the latest patrol ships of the Neustrashimy type.

The air defense complex "Dagger" is offered to foreign buyers under the name "Blade".

The unique research of Russian scientists and the development of engineers made it possible to create the unique Kinzhal hypersonic aviation missile system, which, according to independent experts, is today one of the best and most powerful weapons in the world. In fact, Russia became the first country to successfully test and start using hypersonic weapons, which the United States has so far only dreamed of, which in turn ensures the country's high defense capability and high military potential. What is the Kinzhal hypersonic aviation missile system?

What is a "dagger"?

Due to the fact that the development of domestic scientists and engineers is unique and secret, the true information about the purpose and capabilities of the Kinzhal hypersonic aviation missile system is not disclosed, however, it is known that it includes a carrier aircraft and a hypersonic missile. The warhead of the Kinzhal complex missile can be equipped with both a conventional warhead and a nuclear warhead, which allows it to inflict colossal damage to the enemy. The maximum flight speed of the rocket of the Kinzhal air-missile system is about 12250 km / h, which means that the rocket will be able to cover a distance of 2000 kilometers in less than 10 minutes.

Given the hypersonic speed of the missile, the Kinzhal air-to-air missile system renders air defense and missile defense systems useless, which is already a matter of concern to the US Department of Defense, as this means that there is simply no protection against modern Russian weapons.

An equally important key feature of the Kinzhal hypersonic aviation missile system is that a missile with a warhead can maneuver in any part of the terrain, which makes its flight invisible.

Carrier aircraft for "Dagger"

Given the fact that the Kinzhal air and missile system is a modern development, the Russian Su-57 fighter-bomber will most likely be used as a carrier aircraft. There is no official confirmation of this yet, however, given the fact that the aircraft has not yet begun to enter service with the Russian army, it is likely that this model is the best suited for the intended purposes.

Skepticism and facts

Despite the fact that Vladimir Putin himself announced the completion of testing and development of the Kinzhal hypersonic aviation missile system, noting that the complex itself is already on experimental combat duty at the airfields of the Southern Military District, this statement has a lot of skeptics. Skepticism is primarily due to the fact that on the presented video materials, traces of editing were noticed, on which, a few moments before the rocket explosion, the substitution of the object that was struck was visible.

Of course, this can be explained by the fact that the developers, due to the secrecy of the air-missile complex, decided not to reveal its real capabilities, however, this is unlikely.

No less skepticism is caused by the fact that Russian scientists have not previously announced the development of hypersonic weapons, and the implementation of the project itself would most likely take at least 5-6 years, not to mention the allocation of colossal financial resources.

Be that as it may, given the officially presented data, today the Kinzhal hypersonic aviation missile system is an absolute weapon, while, with a high degree of confidence, we can say that scientists will certainly continue to improve it.

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

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

Ship tests of the complex were launched in 1982 on the Black Sea on a small anti-submarine ship pr. 1124. In the course of demonstration firing in the spring of 1986, 4 P-35 cruise missiles were launched at the MPK from coastal installations. All P-35s were shot down by 4 Kinzhal missiles. The tests were difficult and with the failure of all deadlines. So, for example, it was supposed to arm 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, the complex was installed one instead of the prescribed two.

Only in 1989, the Kinzhal air defense system was officially adopted by large anti-submarine ships, pr. 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 Peter the Great (project 1144.4), large anti-submarine ships pr.1155, 11551 and the latest 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 9M330-2 remote-controlled anti-aircraft missile, unified with the missile of the Tor land complex, or the 9M331 ZUR of the Tor-M complex. 9M330-2 is made according to the "duck" aerodynamic scheme and uses a freely rotating wing unit. Its wings are folding, which made it possible to place the 9M330 in an extremely "compressed" square-section TPK. The launch of the missile defense system is vertical under the action of a catapult with further declination of the rocket 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 sustainer engine, the rocket turns towards the target.

Undermining the warhead of a high-explosive fragmentation type is carried out at the command of a pulsed radio fuse in the immediate vicinity of the target. The radio fuse is noise-immune 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 tools (K-12-1 module), which provide the complex with complete independence and prompt action in the most difficult environment. The multi-channel basis of the complex is phased antenna arrays with electronic beam control and a fast-operating computer complex.

"Dagger" can simultaneously fire at up to four targets in a spatial sector of 60 ° by 60 °, while simultaneously guiding up to 8 missiles. The reaction time of the complex is from 8 to 24 seconds, depending on the mode of the radar.
