Russian experts dismantle the secrets of the Storm Shadow missiles
According to Russian media reports, Russian experts have successfully uncovered the secrets of the Storm Shadow missile captured by Russian troops during the fighting in Ukraine.
Information was revealed about how this rocket was shot down and how to build fortifications to prevent it and reduce its effectiveness.
Reports indicated that this development will help determine the necessary measures to counter this type of missile weapon, including the detection of sensitive systems used and the depth of infiltration that this missile can cause.
The warhead of the Storm Shadow missile is cylindrical and weighs half a ton, and contains a layer of protection and initial and essential charges to achieve penetration of target materials before the explosion.
It also features an advanced guidance system that uses a thermal camera for imaging that works in the event that the radar sensor fails to accurately identify the target.
The missile can be used in any weather conditions and at a long range, and is characterized by a high speed that makes it a rocket that is difficult to detect and shoot down.
It’s used to strike important fixed targets such as air bases and other military installations.
The revelation comes days after a similar unveiling of the US Atacams missile, where advanced technology for the multi-component fuse used in this type of weapon was explored.
