⚡Destroyed enemy artillery reconnaissance complex 1K148 “Yastreb-AV”
⚫️ While conducting reconnaissance in the Southern direction, the BpAK crew of the 73rd Maritime Center of the SOF discovered the artillery reconnaissance complex 1K148 “Yastreb-AV”
⚫️ SOF operators together with a friendly unit of the Defense Forces of the 140th ORB adjusted HIMARS fire on the enemy target
⚫ As a result of fire damage, the enemy’s “Yastreb-AV” complex was destroyed
For reference: “Yastreb-AV” is considered the most modern Russian radar complex, which is used for reconnaissance of artillery firing positions. With the help of radar, he is able to track the trajectory of the enemy’s missiles and calculate the exact coordinates of the positions of his artillery. This data is transmitted to the artillery for defeating the positions.
Missles are able to redirect their trajectory, so unless this sees it immediately can’t the missle just fuck around before going on target?
Not all missiles are guided ones. Most are just fire-and-forget and usually just do a parabola before hitting their target.
Oh, I thought the whole thing about a missle being a missle is they can adjust trajectory.
Edit: Everything else being a rocket or a bomb or named something else.
It is a common misconception. The difference between rockets and missiles isn’t guidance but propulsion.
Missiles are powered all the way to their target, and rockets are only part of the way.
That’s why you never see a rocket trail before it hits, like in this video.
Both can be unguided or guided, either by using fins or gimballed nozzles.
In regards to your edit, it’s not just rockets and dumb bombs. For example, ballistic missiles, which is why they’re more vulnerable to interception as they follow a predictable ballistic trajectory.
Hypersonic missiles have technically existed since the middle 20th century. But in the modern context it refers to a technology that would allow for maneuver during hypersonic flight i.e. adjusting trajectory while at speeds exceeding Mach 5.
