These bait are equipped with electronic equipment, which can produce radio signal interference or deception to try to locate the Russian missile enemy radar, which also contains a heat source to attract the missile.Experts believe that this may be the reason why the U -military air defense system has failed to effectively intercept the Russian Iskander's short -range ballistic missile.
(Washington Comprehensive News) U.S. intelligence personnel discovered for the first time that Russia's series of ballistic missiles launched to Ukraine, including bait bait that can interfere with air defense radar systems and thermal tracking missilesEssence
These bait bombs are equipped with electronic equipment, which can generate radio signal interference or deception to try to position the Russian missile enemy radar, which also contains a heat source to attract the missile.Experts believe that this may be the reason why the Ukraine Air defense system has failed to effectively intercept the Russian Iskander's short -range ballistic missile (Iskander).
The New York Times quoted anonymous US intelligence officials reported that the bait was about 30 cm long, shaped like a dart, white body, and orange tail.After the Iskhander missile was launched, the internal bait bullets detected that the enemy's system was released when it was aimed at by the enemy's air defense system.
A photo of bait bombs appeared on social media about two weeks ago. Many Western weapon experts and intelligence analysts were confused, and they once mistakenly thought it was a projectile of the bundle weapon.
The 22 -year -old British army dismantling expert Stevens said that he had come into contact with "a large number of ammunition in China and Russia, but has never seen such missiles."He published the missile photo to the military and civilian bomb treatment websites he set up, and other experts and netizens have obviously never seen such a mysterious missile.
American experts: I have never seen such "penetration devices"
American intelligence officials said that this bait is similarPenetrationaids.Since the 1970s, penetration devices have been part of the nuclear warhead. It aims to help nuclear warheads avoid the anti -missile system and ensure that the nuclear warhead hit the target.Installing bait bombs in a conventional warhead such as Iskhandel has not appeared in the known arms documents.
Professor Lewis, an expert at the Montere International Research Institute of Mindei University in the United States, said: "As soon as people launch missiles, some people want to find ways to shoot down the missiles. Once someone tries to shoot down the missile, some people have begun to imagine the penetration device. We have never never been. We have never.I have seen this kind of population, because they are highly confidential, as long as you know how they operate, you can counter them. "
Lewis also said that Russia must know that it cannot avoid the collection and research of the Western intelligence department.The bait bombs have strengthened the NATO air defense system's ability to counter the Isamandar missile. Therefore, the use of these bait bombs in the Russian army may show that the Russian army leaders are careless or anxious to seek a breakthrough in war.
He also speculated that Russia sold the Iskander missile system to other countries.He said: "For me, this indicates that the Russians attach great importance to this technology, so it is limited to use it in China, and this war is important to them to give up their secrets."
