welcome to military technology channel
ukraine's ministry of defense posted a tweet on its official twitter account claiming that the
russian s-400 air defense system was unable to intercept the missiles fired by mars a similar
statement was made by anton giashenko who is an advisor to the ukrainian interior minister
the russian armed forces their ammunition and fuel arsenals are in no way protected from
the power of american weapons the ukrainian defense ministry and gashenko said in their
comments currently there is no rebuttal to this claim by the russian ministry of defense
ukraine received for 227 millimeters m142 hamar's high mobility artillery rocket systems from the us
and at least more are on their way to ukraine however ukraine received short-range ammunition
currently atoms are deployed on ukrainian territory and the likelihood that they will
be deployed in the future is small this was made clear by a statement by a senior defense official
during a press conference at the pentagon on july 8 2022 have asked for the ability to help
them adjudicate the current battle in the donbass and that's what we provide with hamar's and gmlrs
the senior defense official said in response to a question about journalists
the pentagon's official response made it clear that for the u.s providing the atoms was a red
line they could not cross especially since with such a missile system ukraine would have
the opportunity to attack russian federation territory something washington does not want
as it would not only deepen conflict but most likely beyond the borders of ukraine
this will be a completely new capability atoms in ukraine ed this would open up all sorts of
possibilities including the elimination of the crimean bridge perhaps this is the escalation
that the u.s fears commented the experts continuing the atoms is a maneuverable missile
which means it is difficult to shoot down russia has demonstrated its inability to
shoot down the gmlrs-31 missile used by hamar's it is also very accurate maybe take a few hits
atoms is a tactical ballistic missile it came into use in the early 1990s and currently only four
countries have the privilege of being armed with it the united states south korea turkey and greece
as is already clear the range of the missile is 300 kilometers but to be
more precise during tests the missile reached an operational capability of 310 to 320 kilometers
its main characteristics are as follows its wingspan is 1.4 m its flight altitude is 50
kilometers its maximum speed exceeds mach 3 0.6 miles per second one kilometers per second
and the missile guidance system is configured by gps assisted inertial navigation guidance
the m142 himars high mobility artillery rocket system is a light multiple rocket launcher
designed in the late 1990s this system is also included in the category of tactical ballistic
systems because it fires the mgm-140 army tactical missile system attacks missile the manufacturer of
the himars zam-142 is lockheed martin according to unconfirmed information and according to
claims by ukrainian military intelligence the m142 lamars was delivered by the united states
to the ukrainian armed forces and the system is actively engaged in the war against russia
united states singapore ua jordan and romania are the current operators of the m-142 hamar's
poland is the next country to acquire or has acquired this missile system and potential
m142 lamar's customers are at least 10 other countries from europe asia and the middle east
m142 hamar's launches 227 millimeters caliber missile depending on the type of ammunition the
system has a different operating range from two to three hundred kilometers and from 300 to 500
kilometers when using the precision strike missile psm a missile also manufactured by lockheed martin
the crew consists of three people the main armament is m26 series 6 by
227 millimeters rockets m30 slash m31 or one mgm 140 atoms missile
s 400 triumph is russia's long and medium-range anti-aircraft missile system the s-400 is designed
to destroy all advanced enemy airstrikes aircraft or cruise missiles including hypersonic ones
the s-400 anti-aircraft missile together with the iskander otrk missile system and
the bastion anti-ship missile system play a key role in the new concept of the russian
armed forces known as the access denied zone this defense system is used to prevent the enemy from
occupying or crossing land sea or air areas sono object can enter anti-access slash area denial
a two slash ad without risking fatal damage the sophistication of the s-400 makes its price in
the market reach around 500 million us dollars around idr 7.2 trillion
the s 400 triumph system is not just an installation for launching missiles but a whole
complex of coordinated systems this system is very complex and its components are located in heavy
traffic vehicles performance as 400 triumf is able to detect targets at a distance of 600 kilometers
attack targets at a distance of 400 kilometers the maximum speed of the hit target is about
4.8 kilometers per second at the same time it can fire 36 targets at once with 72 missiles
