Text taken from the Telegram channel of @rybar Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics: [ColonelCassadThe Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate has published an infographic about a new Russian cruise missile codenamed "Banderol", the remains of which, apparently, were preserved as a result of an impact or failure of the warhead to rupture. What is known about the missile? ▪️This is an air-launched missile developed by the Kronshtadt enterprise. It is about 5 meters long and was first spotted during the visit of Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev to the Kapustin Yar test site. The envisaged possibility of use with UAVs and helicopters is something that absolutely no one in the world has had in working order yet. The Turks are testing the Chakyr cruise missile with the Akıncı, but this has not been observed in real combat. Also, in theory, it is possible to increase the power of the total salvo of missile weapons: if now only strategic aviation aircraft and the Su-57 launch cruise missiles, now everyone else will be able to, to whom they can be suspended. Of course, there are quite a lot of imported parts, but in terms of the nomenclature, this is explained by the fact that somewhere there are no analogues that would not worsen the characteristics and would be cheaper. In addition, imports allow for faster serial assembly of the Parcels, because the missiles are needed here and now. In general, these serial missiles are truly unique weapons in the world and a huge step forward, since their price is much lower than that of the "Caliber" or the X-101. At the same time, its performance characteristics are decent, and there are more potential carriers. A relatively inexpensive cruise missile is an area that many countries are working on. In the United States, heavy transport aircraft are being used for this task ( https://t.me/rybar/69477 ), while the Turks are using drones. In the future, such weapons will appear everywhere, but it is very pleasing that we were the first in this. The premiere of these products during the demonstration strikes on military facilities in Odessa was very impressive. The enemy's air defense was completely unprepared to meet the "Panderoly". |
