Skynex Against Shaheds - Ukraine Got a New Weapon - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/skynex-against-shaheds-ukraine-got-a-new-weapon-technology-org/

Skynex Against Shaheds - Ukraine Got a New Weapon - Technology Org

Back in December 2022, Germany revealed that it will provide Ukraine with two Skynex short-range air defence systems. This was basically a response to Russia’s kamikaze drone attacks that were destroying Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. It was revealed now that the first Skynex system has been delivered to Ukraine at the end of last year.

„Defense Express“ analysts say that this delivery was a bit unexpected, because Skynex wasn’t mentioned in the recent military aid packages. However, as said before, it was planned over a year ago. The second Skynex system should arrive in Ukraine in March. These systems are supplied by the German defence industry giant Rheinmetall and are paid for by the German government. It is estimated that the two systems will cost an astonishing 182 million euros.

It is an incredibly valuable tool though. A Skynex system includes four Revolver Gun Mk3 cannons, a CN-1 control centre, and an X-TAR3D radar all mounted on the HX truck chassis. The main advantages of this system are its mobility and ability to respond to different threats very quickly, whether it would be drones, like the Shahed-136, or even cruise missiles. With air-bursting ammunition, which basically creates an impenetrable cloud of shrapnel in the air, the Skynex guns can defeat even tiny targets at a distance of 4 km or more.

The 35 mm Revolver Gun Mk3 is, obviously, the dagger in this system, even though it would not work without the X-TAR3D target acquisition and tracking radar. These autocannons have an astonishing rate of fire of 1,000 rounds per minute. It is computer-controlled and estimates where it should fire in relation to the target position and speed in the sky.

The entire system of radars and guns is connected in a C2 network, shares data and works together to engage multiple targets at the same time. In simple terms, Shahed drones will not fly through an area protected by the Skynex systems.

The Skynex is a short-range system, armed with automatic guns – of course, it cannot defeat ballistic missiles. But such a high-tech weapon will be able to protect some sensitive areas in Ukraine that would be repeatedly attacked by Shahed drones.

Ukraine will likely position Skynex guns on the frequent routes of the drones, trying to intercept them on their way. Of course, these systems themselves may be targeted by Russia, which is why their positions will constantly change and you may not even see their pictures online.

I'm watching Better Call Saul, and Kim putting a chair against the door to prevent the deadly druglord from potentially entering has the same energy as me putting a cushion on the edge of the bed before going to sleep during the first days of war to prevent a potential missile strike debris from hitting my head.

#in retrospect I see that it might have been not the best defence #some of the people I know were sleeping on the floor in the corridor #but I didn't want to be stepped on at night so #well at least there haven't been any missile strikes in my city since march #better call Saul #Ukraine

British military intelligence reports that Russia is removing nuclear warheads from Soviet-era cruise missiles, substituting inert ballast for the warheads, and firing them at Ukraine.

Essentially, Russia is so depleted in its weaponry that it’s firing blanks.

The unarmed missiles can still cause damage. Purists may not like this description, but a cruise missile is essentially a rather small jet with no crew. We saw what larger jets as weapons did on 9/11. Russia increasingly follows the terrorist playbook.

This peculiar use of cruise missiles is bizarre and shows how desperate Russia is getting.

One unintended effect of this is that it’s at least causing a marginal reduction in the number of Russia’s nuclear weapons.

Of course many Russian cruise missiles, armed or not, never quite make it to their intended targets.

Best option for all: Several countries are embarking on a search for Patriot systems - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/best-option-for-all-several-countries-are-embarking-on-a-search-for-patriot-systems-technology-org/

Best option for all: Several countries are embarking on a search for Patriot systems - Technology Org

Ukraine needs more Patriot missile systems. Its cities are being attacked by ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones. It would also be good to make Russian planes scared of coming even close to the air defence zone of Ukraine.

The MIM-104 Patriot is one of the best air defence systems in the world. Image credit: Sgt. Alexandra Shea via Wikimedia

After the NATO summit in Brussels, where Ukraine has reminded its allies that it needs more weapons and ammunition, information about intensive searches for Patriot systems appeared. The MIM-104 Patriot is considered to be pretty much the best option for air defence for Ukraine. These systems can efficiently deal with cruise missiles, manned and unmanned aircraft. The Patriot can even shoot down ballistic missiles and has some wins against hypersonic weapons too.

According to Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, the United Kingdom is now joining the global search for Patriot missile systems that could be transferred to Ukraine. The Patriot is an American air defence system in service since 1981, but there aren’t enough of them in Ukraine or, it seems, even its Western allies.

Russia is constantly attacking the cities of Ukraine with all sorts of weapons, so Ukraine’s allies will see what they can do to acquire more Patriot systems to close the sky over Ukraine. Manufacturing new systems would simply take too long, which means that the UK will be talking to other countries that have bought Patriot systems for their own protection.

The user list of the MIM-104 Patriot includes Germany, Greece, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Netherlands, Poland, Qatar, Romania, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, UAE, the United States and, of course, Ukraine.

Kułeba said he had spoken with UK Foreign Minister David Cameron, who confirmed that the country would look for air defence systems for Ukraine. Germany is already involved in the Patriot search. It won’t be easy though.

Saudi Arabia could be a Patriot donor with 18-25 batteries of these systems (including PAC-2 and PAC-3 versions) in their possession, but Germany once blocked the sale of 48 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets to Riyadh, and it is now uncertain whether Saudi Arabia will agree to cooperate with Germany on the Patriot issue. Perhaps Saudi Arabia will talk with the United Kingdom, with which it maintains more friendly connections in the field of military equipment.

The Patriot has been operating in Ukraine since April 2023. These air defence systems were transferred to Ukraine by Germany, the Netherlands and the US. The Patriot has proven time and time again to be one of the most effective air defence systems on Earth. It shot down several ballistic missiles, which is never easy to do. Even the downing of the hypersonic Zircon missiles is credited to the Patriot.

Depending on the version, the Patriot can hit targets at a distance of up to 160 km. PAC-3 can also destroy modern ballistic missiles at a distance of up to 35 km.

The Europe missile tracking systems market is projected to reach $35.26 billion by 2033 from $21.34 billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 5.15% during the forecast period 2023-2033. Missile tracking systems typically use radar, infrared sensors, and satellite technology to detect, track, and intercept missiles. Radars identify the missile's location, while infrared sensors detect its heat signature. Satellite data enhances tracking accuracy. This information is processed to provide real-time data for effective defense measures against incoming missiles.
