Poland can buy a rocket Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (aargm) rockets, which are considered by the “killers” of anti-missile defense systems (pro) of the enemy, in particular, Russian S-400 complexes “Triumph”. It is reported by the Polish Edition Defence24.
The publication states that rockets can get Polish F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters and F-35 Lightning II.
It is not excluded that AARGM can be used to strike in Belarus. “The possible implementation of AARGM for F-16 will also prepare a database of threats, including on the basis of flights carried out near the borders of Poland with the Kaliningrad region and Belarus,” writes the publication.
Defence24 Notes that “AARGM anti-radiation missiles is an example of a gradual increase in the potential necessary on the modern battlefield.” In particular, at the first stage of the project (AGM-88E AARGM option), the radio electronic component of the rocket was focused on the second (AGM-88G AARGM-ER) – the engine and planner, which made it possible to increase the range of rocket flight and integrate it with modern fighters.
Edition assures that AGM-88G Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile-Extended Range (AARGM-ER) will become an important tool for F-35 fighters to combat the elements of restriction and access of access and maneuver. ” “A high-speed rocket will be able to hit targets on relatively large ranges in a short time, while maintaining the characteristics of reduced notice,” the publication says.
In March 2019, Jane’s 360 reported that F / A-18E Super Hornet, EA-18G Growler and F-35 Lightning II will receive a supersonic anticulate rocket AGM-88G AARGM-ER.
AGM-88G AARGM-ER developer is Northrop Grumman. Weapons are created since 2015. Adoption is planned in 2023. The rocket is equipped with a self-watering head with inertial and global (from satellites) navigation systems, as well as infrared sensor.
