What is issued by Putin's propaganda for the newest hypersonic rocket is an aviation version of the Iskander ballistic missile, the development of which began in 1987.

This is what Putin said (quote from RIA-News):


About the high-precision aviation missile complex "Dagger" spoke in the message to the Federal Assembly, Russian President Vladimir Putin. The speech of the head of state was accompanied by test frames.

According to him, the possession of hypersonic weapons gives major advantages in the field of armed struggle. His power can be huge, and the speed makes it invulnerable for today's systems about and air defense, and the leading armies of the world seek to have such perfect weapons.

The hypersonic aviation-rocket complex created in Russia has no analogues in the world, Putin said.

He noted that the unique flight technical characteristics of a high-speed carrier aircraft allow you to deliver the rocket to the reset point in minutes. At the same time, the rocket itself, flying ten times faster than the speed of sound, maneuvering on all sections of the flight, and this allows it to successfully overcome all existing aircraft and missile defense systems. The rocket can be delivered to the goal of nuclear and ordinary waters at a distance of up to two thousand kilometers.


The rocket, which is now called from them "Dagger", is a ballistic rocket, which moves through the ballistic trajectory, can maneuver only within this trajectory and acquires a hypersonic speed only on top of this trajectory. There are no magical properties of invulnerability "for today's systems about and air defense. The American IJIS system of seabed with missiles-interceptors SM-3 knocks down satellites in orbit, which should be known to any high school student, moving at a speed of 8 km / s, which is three times higher than this very hypersonic speed of ballistic missiles. Moreover, the carrier of the "Dagger" aircraft MiG-31 in the 21st century is an outdated aircraft compared to the American aircraft of the 5th generation and quite vulnerable. The newest Russian MiG-31 with its old electronics in battle with American F-22, F-35 new air defense systems has no chance. It is not unarmed in eastern gut bombing.

When Americans talk about hypersonic missile weapons, they mean hypersonic wing rocketwhich is different from the ballistic rocket as a member of the finger. The hypersonic winged rocket can move at extremely small heights, to overeat obstacles and thus overcome the system of OB and air defense.

In detail, clearly and with the pictures that this actually this "dagger" and what it differs from the hypersonic winged missiles of the XXI century in the article Brand of Solonin: the obeda turnout

Standard questions:
Who wants to deceive Putin?
Who wants to scare Putin?
American military?
- American military Putin will not deceive and does not frighten. Americans are well-known Soviet achievements in the field of rocket lighting and aviation.

Putin deceives Russians. Creates the illusion of the power of Russian weapons. And it gives it for their achievements.
I already wrote that.

The "Dagger" rocket belongs to the number of aerobalistic missiles, which are delivered to the place of launch using a carrier aircraft, and then, after starting and separating from the aircraft, include their own engine and are sent to the target. In addition to high-speed characteristics, the rocket complex "Dagger" is interesting because the carrier aircraft - upgraded supersonic fighter fighters of the distant radius of the action of the MiG-31 BM - are able to bring the rocket to the stratosphere.

That is, to destroy the goal, the "Dagger" launch vehicle is not necessary to approach the danger zone of the forces about the enemy: you can run the rocket from the nearest layers of space. The maximum limit of the lesion of the X-47M2 missile exceeds 2000 km. And this is with a unique speed of a developed rocket - more than 12,000 km / h (according to some data - 12250 km / h).

At the same time, according to the information available in the public space, it turns out that undergoing tests American competitors Rocket "Dagger" until you can exceed high-speed indicators of more than 6 speed speeds (the sound speed is measured in mahas and at an altitude of 11 km, 1 max is 1062 km / h ), while the Russian complex has indicators in 12 sound velocities.

Such a hyperzvukhtaya flight speed, already by itself devalues \u200b\u200ba number of opportunities for the potential enemy's forces, - a rocket at such a speed, especially in the case of a "dagger" at a decrease where it develops the highest indicators that are extremely hard to catch up. But you can not forget about the highest maneuverability of the rocket "Dagger": a combat rocket is capable of maneuvering at all areas of the terrain throughout the flight path, which makes it unnoticed for detection means.

Taking into account the above characteristics, the rocket carrier aircraft is capable of, without going into a dangerous zone, run the rocket and calmly return to the airfield, while the rocket is practically guaranteed, moving on hypersonic speed and actively maneuvering will not fall in the field Vision of the opponent's radars and calmly destroy the goal.

And all this, taking into account the fact that the "dagger" can be equipped with both ordinary rockets and nuclear charges.

The next advantage of the rocket is the presence of an all-weather head of the homing, which allows you to effectively and accurately affect the goal at any time of the day and in any conditions. With such capabilities, the "Dagger" can really be called the "killer of aircraft carriers", and taking into account the nuclear charge, entire aviance groups (aircraft carrier and large number of accompanies ships).

Experts also argue that for a number of both the external and tactical and technical characteristics of the rocket, the "Dagger" has a lot in common with the missiles of the family of operational-tactical complexes "Iskander".

The aircraft complex of the newest generation "Dagger" will be able to hit targets at a distance of 1.5 thousand kilometers. The indicator was named only on Wednesday, although earlier, it was possible to remove it with ease of simple counting.

The fact is that the specialists have previously paid attention to the amazing similarity of the "Dagger" rocket, which was established to the MiG-31 interceptor fighter, with the one that the ground operational tactical complex "Iskander" is equipped. And it turned out that this is really almost the same rocket. By the way, the first case in world history, when the ballistic rocket is suspended under the fuselage of the aircraft, especially the fighter-interceptor.

So, knowing the range of "Iskander" is 500 km and making an amendment for the lack of the need for "Kinzhalam" to overcome the earthly attraction and spend energy on horizontal acceleration, it would be easily removed that the most indicator is 1500 km.

The famous rocket designer and the former head of the Kolomna CB of Mechanical Engineering Sergey invincible in the past decade told the "RG" correspondent on the promising possibilities of Iskander. According to him, the option of pendant missiles was worked out even then. The ground operational and tactical complex "Iskander" - the weapon is very terrible. There are no analogues with similar characteristics in the world. The lack of the complex is one - the range of the rocket is not exceeded 500 km. This is due to agreements on limiting the placement of medium and less rockets in Europe.

But the Rocket "Iskander", suspended under the "belly" of the aircraft, especially such as MiG-31, is quite another matter. There can be no contractual restrictions here.

MiG-31 was chosen as a carrier, presumably, for the reason that a considerable rocket was selected only in its dimensions. In addition, it is this aircraft who has excellent treasures, being the most high-speed and high-altitude in its class. It suffices to say that the maximum speed is 3400 km / h, and the maximum flight height is 30 km.

The interceptor fighter climbing the stratospheric height is capable of launching a rocket that can even go to the near space. There it accelerates to the hypersonic speed of 10 moving (10 times higher than the speed of sound). The rocket is then reduced and goes to his goal, accelerating even more. At the same time, it begins to actively maneuver, which is initially laid and in the ground version of the "Iskander".

It is impossible to intercept the rocket - the goal will be amazed with the maximum probability. And goals can be any. If we talk about euro, then all systems in European NATO countries can be destroyed, not even time to react to the danger of impact. Given the possibilities of MiG-31, there will be no chance of systems about even in distant Greenland. And the entire US aircraft carrier will lose its meaning. As soon as the aircraft carriers are suitable for the borders of our country to the range of applying their aviation, they will be under the sights of MiG-31 and their "daggers". Starting one rocket even without nuclear warhead, and the floating airfield will go to the bottom.

Such opportunities were opened before the Balticistic rocket of the ground complex "Iskander" installed on the MiG-31. The main work on the "Kinjlav" conducted specialists from the company "MiG" and Kolomna KBM.

You can only guess what tasks collided Kolomna rackets, adapting the Iskander's missile to the hypersonic. With hypersonic speeds, terrible overheating of the rocket housing occurs, which can cause the failure of all control systems and even structural destruction. Most likely, new structural materials were created, new heat-insulating coatings, strengthened and modified control systems.

Not adapted to carry a heavy ballistic missile and classic MiG-31. For the fighter to retain flight characteristics and was able to shoot this rocket, it was inevitably required to make serious changes to the control system of the aircraft and its weapons. Specialists know that this is sometimes more difficult than to design a new car.

"Daggers" are already standing on experienced fighting duty in the troops of the Southern Military District. Vice Prime Minister, who is responsible for the defense and industrial complex, Yuri Borisov (until recently, the Deputy Minister of Defense) In early May, it was told that 10 fighters of MiG-31K equipped with "daggers" are now on pilot duty duty.

In addition, it was reported that it is currently working on the adaptation of the "Dagger" for suspension under bombarders.

The Ministry of Defense of Russia showed a hypersonic weapon in action that does not have global analogs due to the high flight techniques of the MiG-31 and the hypersonic aerobalistic rocket with a small radar notice and high maneuverability. In Sunday, March 11, the personnel of the practical training launch of a hypersonic missile were published from the newest aviation missile complex "Dagger", which was performed by the crews of the CCS of Russia. Video was intended for those who may have doubted the words of the Russian President Vladimir Putin, when in the message to the Federal Assembly. Prerevent called it "ideal on Today, "and stressed that the" dagger "is able to be guaranteed to overcome all existing and even promising air-friendly and missile defense systems. In this, the rocket complex itself has been standing on the pilot duty from December 1, and the personnel works out the skills of its use. Only from the beginning of 2018, more than 250 flights were performed to work out the range of the complex, the deputy head of the State Flight Test Center was noted. Chkalova Valery Anzibor.

"Since the beginning of the year, more than 250 flights were completed on the plans of experienced combat duty and flights on combat training. The flight composition is prepared in full, day and night, in simple and complex meteo conditions. Ready for the fulfillment of tasks for purpose, "said the pilot test of the 1st grade Colonel Valery Anzibor.
On the day of the teachings, the pilots of the Federal Code of the Russian Federation were raised by educational and combat alarm, and on the strip of the aerodrome of the Southern Military District, they were expected to be modernized MiG-31, capable of bringing "Dagger" in the stratosphere. After takeoff, the fighter-interceptor with a hypersonic rocket sufficiently suspended The complex is that the aircraft that carries it does not need to enter the inspection air defense zone, because the "dagger" can be launched directly from the near Cosmos. In the Ministry of Defense, it was noted that the start had passed the staff and hypersonic rocket hit the specified target at the landfill, and During the exercises, tactical and technical characteristics and temporal indicators of the high-precision aviation missile complex were confirmed. "Dagger" is designed to destroy ground and maritime purposes at a distance of two thousand kilometers. Marshmaking engine, installed on the rocket, in a matter of seconds accelerates the warhead to speed, several times higher than the speed of the sound. In this, although without this, no interceptor in the world can catch up with such a rocket The weather and at any time of the day, confirmed numerous tests. The presence of the "Dagger" complex is expanding the possibilities of the CCM of the Russian Federation to respond to possible aggression against Russia and along with other strategic weapons will contribute to the containment of probable opponents from rampant actions.

On the first day of Spring, Russian President Vladimir Putin appealed to the Federal Assembly with an annual message. The head of state spoke about the last successes and set new tasks. In addition, he touched on the topic of strategic arms intended to ensure the security of the country. New systems in the future will receive all the main types of armed forces, including combat aviation. Together with existing aircraft, it is proposed to use the Aviation Rocket Complex "Dagger".

The story of the new weapons for the air-space forces V. Putin began with reminders of current trends in the field of aerospace technologies. Now leading countries with great scientific potential and with modern technologies are developing so-called. Hypersonic arms. The president further conducted a brief "lecture" on physics and aerodynamics. He pointed out that the speed of sound is traditionally measured in mahah - the unit is named part of the Austrian physics of Ernst Mach. At an altitude of 11 km 1 Max, 1062 km / h is equal. The speed from m \u003d 1 to m \u003d 5 is considered supersonic, more than m \u003d 5 - hypersonic.

MiG 31bm takes off with a rocket "Dagger"

With hypersonic flight speed, the most serious advantages over the enemy gives the armed forces. Such weapons may differ in high power, and high speed protects it from intercepting with anti-airflow or anti-missile defense. Interceptors simply cannot catch up the attacking product. As the president said, it is clear why the leading countries of the world seek to take possession of weapons. And Russia has such funds already.

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


Rocket larger

According to V. Putin, the rocket with the help of a high-speed carrier aircraft should go to the start of the start. After reset, the rocket develops speed, ten times higher than the speed of the sound. Throughout the trajectory, despite the high speed, the product is able to perform maneuvers. The ability to change the path trajectory allows you to protect the rocket from the enemy defense. According to the president, the new rocket is guaranteed by overcoming modern and, possibly promising air defense systems and pro. The hypersonic rocket is able to fly to the range of up to 2 thousand km and deliver the usual or nuclear warhead to goals.

Unlike some other promising developments, presented last week, the aviation missile complex has already received its own name. He was designated as "Dagger". Other names and designations, such as the Grau index, the working cipher of the project, etc. The president did not lead.

As in the case of the other newest samples of weapons, the words of the President followed a demonstration video, showing the most interesting frames with the tests of a promising missile complex. Video filming The most visual way confirms the statements by V. Putin on testing. Some of the stages of one of the test launches filmed by military operators were allowed to be used in the video to show the general public.


Plane before resetting rocket

The video begins with the frames of the take-off fighter-interceptor MIG-31BM. Already during the runway, it can be seen that under the bottom of his fuselage is suspended, not familiar and standard ammunition, but some new weapons. The interceptor lifts a large and massive rocket of a new type into the air. Part of the further flight with the output to the start point, however, was shown using simplified computer graphics. But further was a video of real tests with a real running rocket.

Being at the specified course and withstanding a certain height and speed, the carrier aircraft dropped the "Dagger" missile. In the free flight, she "failed" in height, after which he dropped the tail fairing and launched a march engine. The flight of the rockets did not again show in the form of documentary and depicted schematically. In the next episode, the computer model of the aircraft dropped an animated rocket, and she went to the veneer opponent's ballistic trajectory. It is worth noting that the drawn target ship had a recognizable appearance and was similar to a real sample.


The product X-47M2 separated

The last stages of the flight of the rocket leaving the area of \u200b\u200bthe target, and then appear on it, were shown using graphics. Moreover, the "camera" was right on board the rocket. The product headed for the enemy ship, passed into dive, and then the video signal, expected, disappeared. However, the roller showed the defeat of the target, although the other. The ammunition fell on the land strengthening and blew it. The MiG-31BM carrier aircraft, in turn, returned to the airfield and completed landing.

Soon after the end of the speech of the president, new information about the project "Dagger" appeared. Thus, the Russian press led the second designation of the new rocket - X-47M2. Commander of the air-space forces Colonel General Sergey Surovikin indicated that the new rocket refers to the class of hypersonic aerobalistic weapons. According to him, the Polygons of the Ministry of Defense already conducted state tests of the new complex. During inspections, he fully confirmed its effectiveness. All launch rockets were completed by accurate defeat targets.

The head of the VKS also revealed some details of the combat work of the product "Dagger". So, on the final ballistic site of the flight, the rocket uses the All-weather head of the homing head. This provides the possibility of using a rocket at any time of the day to obtain the desired accuracy and selectivity of the target defeat. The maximum rocket speed in flight is 10 times higher than the speed of the sound. The range of shooting, as confirmed by the GSC, reaches 2 thousand km.


Reset the tail fairing

Thus, in the interests of the air-space forces, the newest aerobalistic rocket was developed, suitable for the destruction of various terrestrial or surface facilities. The product X-47M2 "Dagger" can carry both a conventional and special combat part, which expands the circle of solved tasks. As a carrier, interceptors of the MIG-31 of the last modification "BM" are now used.

One of the most interesting features of the project "Dagger" is the choice of carrier aircraft. The air-surface rocket decided to apply with the fighter, the basis of weapons of which is the air-air products. The reasons for this are obvious. The maximum speed of the MiG-31BM aircraft at height reaches 3400 km / h, which allows him for the minimum time to go to the start point. In addition, the high speed of the media flight when resetting the rocket allows you to get some advantages. At the time of reset, the rocket already has a high initial speed, and therefore its engine energy takes place only for subsequent acceleration with access to a quasibalistic trajectory.


Engine starting

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

The product X-47M2 has very simple forms and outlines. The rocket received a conic head fairing, which accounts for about half the length of the product. The second half of the hull forms a cylindrical section equipped with X-shaped planes in the tail part. A smooth tail cut of the housing during the flight under the aircraft is equipped with a discharged fairing having a shape of a truncated cone. The accurate information about the design of the product has not yet been brought, but now we can say that it is equipped with a solid fuel route. The type of homing head is unknown.

It should not be noted that the new aviation rocket is extremely similar to the ballistic ammunition of the Operative Tactical Complex "Iskander". In the past at different levels there were rumors about the possible creation of an aviation modification of this system, but they still did not receive official confirmation. The characteristic exterior of the newest rocket "Dagger" can serve as a peculiar confirmation of the rumors of the recent past. At the same time, similarities can only be associated with similar technical requirements and tactical roles.


The rocket went to the goal

It is argued that the Rocket "Dagger" refers to the class of aerobalistic. This means that the product is reset from the carrier aircraft, after which it turns on the engine and it comes to an ascending trajectory. Next, the flight occurs almost the same as in the case of other ballistic missiles. The difference in X-47M2 from other systems is caused by using homing head. The instruments whose type has not yet been specified, are used to detect the target and correction of the rocket course at all stages of the flight, including on the downstream of the ballistic trajectory. In the latter case, the most accurate hit in the specified purpose is ensured.

The promising "dagger", as well as the already known "Iskander", has characteristic features: the missiles of both complexes are able to maneuver on the trajectory. Because of this, anti-missile enemy complexes lose the possibility of timely miscalculation of the trajectory of a rocket and proper interception. On the descending portion of the trajectory, the rocket develops the maximum speed, up to M \u003d 10, which dramatically reduces the permissible reaction time. As a result, the system "Dagger" is really able to show the highest combat characteristics and break through the existing airframe and missile defense system.


Demonstration of the principles of flight trajectory

First, Vladimir Putin, and then Sergey Surovikin, told about recent works within the project with the cipher "Dagger". No later than last year, the industry and the Ministry of Defense conducted all the necessary tests of the newest rocket, and also completed her finishing. Already on December 1, an order appeared on the adoption of a new rocket in pilot operation. The H-47M2 product is operated as part of a full-fledged complex, which also includes the MiG-31BM carrier aircraft. Until new weapons are available from aviation parts from the Southern Military District.

Apparently, in the foreseeable future, armed forces will complete the experienced exploitation of the latest weapons, and soon after that the "Dagger" complex will receive a recommendation for adoption. The result will be the re-equipment of aviation parts, accompanied by a significant increase in the shock potential of tactical aviation.


Rocket falls on purpose

It should be recalled that at the moment the Russian tactical aircraft has only systems "air-surface" with a launch range in tens or hundreds of kilometers. Products capable of flying thousands of kilometers are in service only in strategic aviation. The rocket complex "Dagger" with a launch range up to 2000 km will actually take an intermediate position between purely tactical and exclusively strategic weapons. With it, it will be possible to make blows as quickly as possible on the enemy objects at the operational-strategic depth.

Great flexibility will be ensured by the existence of special and non-nuclear combat parts. Depending on the task and the type of object of the attacked object, you can choose one or another warhead. Thus, the fighting qualities of the X-47M2 rocket will fully comply with its "intermediate" position. Tactical aviation, in turn, will bring out its capabilities to strategic.

All promising samples of strategic weapons presented by Vladimir Putin last Thursday were created in the interests of nuclear forces and to ensure the containment of a potential enemy. The Aviation Rocket Complex "Dagger" fully corresponds to such tasks, although it turns out to be more flexible and universal in comparison with other systems. Depending on the situation on the theater of hostilities, it can be a means of a powerful strike by tactical aviation forces or solve problems inherent in strategic complexes.

The rocket complex "Dagger" has already passed almost all the stages of checks, including government tests. According to the results of the experimental design work, he was put on pilot duty in parts of air-space forces. Thus, the armed forces have already received one of the newest samples of shock weapons and now master it. In the foreseeable future, upon completion of all required checks and experienced operation, the new rocket will be adopted and will go on warehouses parts. The potential of the VKS will grow markedly, and along with it the country's defense capability will improve.
