Hello

Does the size of targets, in this case a City Marker, affect ballistic missile's possibility to hit an object?
Tried to hit anything with the North Korean Taepodong-2 (and any other NK long range missile in the DB) but all missiles missed by several hundreds of meters without inflicting a minimum of damage. This doesn't make much sence when missing a city like Tokyo or Seoul by 195 meter. The measurements of the city marker is 5m x 5m by the way.

COASTAL DEFENSE AND THE BEREG 130mm ARTILLERY SYSTEM

The coastal defense of any state that has sea borders plays a key role in the armed forces. Modern coastal warfare primarily requires the development of mobile coastal artillery systems since they ensure the defense of large areas and can move undetected to combat positions in various regions.

At present, coastal defense troops of some countries are armed with mobile missile systems such as Rubezh and Redut (Russia), RBS 15 (Sweden), Sea Skua (Great Britain), Exocet (France), SSI (Japan), and Harpoon (USA). All coastal defense missile systems feature one common drawback, namely a dead zone from 25 (Rubezh) to 7 km (Redut) and their low efficiency against small-size mobile sea targets, including small landing ships, air-cushioned vessels, ekranoplans, etc. Consequently, coastal defense missile systems are unable to defend coastal zones alone.

The Bereg coastal defense self-propelled artillery system incorporates the Podacha mobile artillery fire control system, which is the first such system to use the principle of gunnery without using the sights of the individual guns. The Podacha system ensures complete independent polarization scanning in receive/transmit mode that avoids barrage jamming via a polarization adaptation method, including the cases where the jammer is located on the tracked target and the recognition of targets is made according to the polarization "portrait." The Podacha system can also perform the task of precise target tracking in the "passing" under the angle deception jamming conditions. Meanwhile, the Podacha system tracks up to four targets and engages two of them simultaneously using six gun mounts.

The fire control system is comprised of a radar, TV-optical post with a laser range finder, sighting device for target observation and designation, digital computer to prepare data for firing, devices to record firing procedures, and target simulation system intended for personnel training and practice firing.

In addition, any SP gun can deliver fire independently using its own optical electromechanical sight, commander's vision device, ballistic computer and laser range finder.

The Bereg coastal defense self-propelled artillery system can be deployed at prepared or unprepared firing positions in terms of engineer organization and survey. To enhance the combat survivability and concealment of the system, the dispersal of its combat vehicles may reach 1,000 meters, and the difference in height of gun emplacements can reach up to 300 meters. The coastal defense self-propelled artillery system can perform missions at any time of the day and year in active and passive jamming environments.

The combat duty support vehicle's diesel-generator supplies the central combat station with electric power during extended combat duty at the firing position. In addition, all vehicles of the coastal defense self-propelled artillery system have self-contained auxiliary power units. The combat duty support vehicle has compartments to store fuel, food and water reserves, as well as facilities for cooking and serving meals, and for personnel's rest. Medical aid can also be provided to the personnel.

All this allows a battery to maintain constant combat readiness for seven days. All vehicles of the coastal self-propelled artillery system are mounted on one type of chassis featuring a high cross-country capacity and 8x8 wheel arrangement. The high cross-country capacity, night vision devices and navigation aids installed at the central combat station allows the artillery unit to take up new firing positions quickly and move in dispersed formations to new areas. The use of the wheeled chassis has made it possible to increase fuel distance 1.7 times and has given a threefold increase in the guaranteed mileage compared to tracked vehicles.

At customer's request Bereg can be upgraded as follows:

- a 127mm caliber gun firing and fixed rounds of the customer can be installed;

- artillery fire can be delivered by the self-propelled artillery system and independent self-propelled artillery guns against sea and ground targets using homing rounds via laser illumination;

- jam-immune radio channel to exchange telecoded information between separate vehicles can be introduced;

- air defense capability is envisaged;

- level of mechanization and automation of operation during deployment and tie-in of the system's vehicles can be raised and deployment times shortened.

Maneuverability, high fire efficiency and complete autonomy of the coastal Bereg defense self-propelled artillery system make it a reliable weapon system to defend coastal areas, strait zones and skerries

Because of store separation issues, the Super Hornet pylons are toed out a few degrees. Because of the pylon toe, I don't think the SH can carry forward firing rockets. I've never seen any images of them carried, and can find no reference to any SH (US or Australian) carrying unguided rockets.

A-222 Bereg Coastal Artillery System?

Only one unit in service with the Russian Black Sea Fleet, but there is potential for more.

Uses a naval AK-130 gun on an 8x8 chassis, with a fire control van and a radar van and up to six guns.

Can't seem to find the associated radar system. Naval Institute implies it's a truck-based AK-130 system entirely, and the radar (35km range) and associated optical targeting system (with a 270 degree FOV) are the same you'd find on a ship.

Hey, might I ask for the F-35A/B variants for the Italian AF ? The exact number hasn't been revealed yet but unfortunately I think Italy wont have an other choice than buying a couple(probably 45 and not 90).

The armament should be pretty standart and similar to the british F-35Bs (I'm not sure if it will use AMRAAMs or Meteors missiles)

Added the request but we do need more info.

Looks like there will be a factory in Calmari Italy which means there will probably be an Italian F-35 although think they're down to only 30. Lots of political debate around this it seems.

Thanks!

Oh really?

The coastal surface and air reconnaissance system Monolit-B is intended for long-range, over the horizon detection and tracking of surface targets using integrated means of active and passive radio detection and ranging, means of automated reception and processing of information on surface situation obtained from the carriers equipped with articles Mineral-ME and special interfacing equipment and from external information sources (ships, helicopters, lookout posts) over standard communication lines in the telephone mode, and also for generation and output of target designation data to missile weapon control systems.

quote:

Typhoon JSC displayed the Monolit B coastal surface and air surveillance system, which is designed to support coastal defense batteries that fire Club M and Uran (SS-NX-27) missiles. Monolit B utilizes a ground based or aerial radar to detect and acquire targets. The system can also operate in quiet mode, employing two radars operating in receive-only mode, to "fix" target location by triangulation.

The system can detect up to 50 targets over the horizon at ranges of up to 250 km in passive mode, and up to 450 km in active mode. It can designate up to 10 targets simultaneously. In active mode the system can simultaneously handle up to 30 targets.

In passive mode the system can detect as many as 50 targets ‘over the horizon’ at ranges up to 250km and handle up to 10 targets simultaneously. In active mode detection range can be up to 450km and as many as 30 targets can be handled simultaneously.

This capability is especially useful with the Uran/Club M, which is a family of relatively inexpensive fire and forget cruise missiles that are usually fired in salvos. During the targeting phase the target's parameters (type, location, etc) are processed by the fire control system and fed to the missile, which is then launched toward the target. Each missile follows a different course to reach a position where the target can be acquired by its on-board sensor. This allows multiple missiles to execute a "ripple attack" from different directions.

The Uran missile is a relatively small sub-sonic sea-skimmer, which can engage targets at ranges of up to 250 km. The Monolit / Uran/Club M system uses common transporters, launcher vehicles, communications and C3 systems to accommodate three different missiles – the 3M-54E anti-ship missile, with supersonic terminal stage, 3M-54E1 anti-ship subsonic missile, or the 3M-14E land attack missile. The range of Club M is specified as up to 275 km although it is believed to be extendable by making a tradeoff between warhead weight and fuel capacity. Another Monolit compatible system is the 130mm Bereg E coastal artillery system, which is also called Titan. Bereg E consists of self-propelled guns with a range of 20 - 23 km (depending on type of gun and ammunition). Bereg E can engage multiple targets with a hit probability of 80% and can eliminate typical targets at sea within 1 – 2 minutes.
