Today there is no opposition to Russian hypersonic missiles “Dagger”. This was stated by the head of the state corporation “Rostech” Sergey Chezov, reports TASS.
According to him, the invincibility of missiles is primarily associated with high weapons accuracy – rockets fall into the target at the far distance. “Plus a very high speed – it is impossible to interceptually such a rocket. So far, there is no such counteraction to our missiles,” the weapons were described.
At the end of August, analysts of the US Congress Research Service have published an updated report “Hyperworm Weapons: Background Information and Congress Questions.” They recognized the lag in the development of American hypersonic weapons and noted the progress in the development of Russian hypersonic systems. Thus, the Hyperzvuk Base Rocket “Dagger” since 2017 is on pilot duty.
According to open data, the “Dagger” is a modernized version of the quasibalistic single-stage controlled solid fuel missile 9M723 complex “Iskander”, the carrier of which is a supersonic all-weather fighter-interceptor of the distant radius of the MiG-31K modification fighter.
