Luhansk People's Republic said yesterday that in one attack two Storm Shadow and one MALD were used with both Storm Shadows hitting their targets in Luhansk calling the Russian governments claims of intercepting the aircraft that carried out the strike bullshit.

    You could probably simulate a MALD-B in DCS by having a plane with a missile visual model of similar turbojet powered winged design to Stormshadow and a really high RCS that just flies in circles on a pre-set flightpath soaking up SAM's, though not sure if you would have to give it a dummy warhead for DCS units to see it as a threat. MALD-J you couldnt do because of area jamming not being properly implemented in game but essentially rather than trying to spoof search radar the MALD-J generate so much radio noise in the bands of the FCR radar that they are saturated and literally can only see the decoy and so cant get a lock on other genuine aircraft despite their search radar being able to see them. MALD-B weigh 300lbs and have a range of 500nm and work by simulating the radar return of a fighter or bomber (programmable profiles) while mimicking their subsonic speed, waypoint manoeuvring and formation flying. Though looking at the US's public program performance reports of the MALB-B and MALD-J from a decade ago they had serious issues with navigation and a lot of them had to be self destructed for flying off course during testing, and thats a decade after their introduction.

      I was wondering about that, too, and I would guess it's because of the type of threats America would usually encounter. The US always fights in an air superiority situation, so airborne radar platforms are always available to track low-flying cruise missiles. Anyone else using the Patriot should think about supplementing the radar array with something to boost its low-level detection radius.

    It's not just a penetrating warhead, which typically uses mass and speed to penetrate, which costs fuel which costs range.
    Storm Shadow's warhead is a tandem charge, which uses chemical energy to penetrate, creating a channel for the main charge.

  • @LondonSteveLee

    Most SAMs and SHORAD systems have a real problem with stuff that flies as low as Storm Shadow - the interception rate was far too high. Of course when you are operating in a desert flat like environment you are giving the Storm Shadows an enormous disadvantage.

    ADM-160 MALD is a decoy designed to fly around and get shot down....lol Seriously, it is used to attract the Air defense, so missiles like the Storm Shadow can get through. The MALD has all kinds of tech to detect Air defense systems when they fire at it. Which is used for counter fire. It has no warhead, either. This would most likely be used with the Storm Shadow missile, making everything more effective.

    I got some info on how they deconflict the SAMs and aircraft. There is IFF systems but they are either not reliable or older equipment can't use it. So they will send out notices to SAM operators that the air force is operating in this area at this time. And so there are zones and times where the SAM is to consider air targets friendly. So the SAMs can stay on, but its easy to make a mistake and shoot at your own guys or to let targets through as they are coming through a air zone designated friendly.

The Storm shadow was very close to the Pantsir, so close the Pantsir lost visual for a moment as Storm Shadow passed by.

      Also both the Kinzhal & Iskander-M aren't ballistic missiles, but rather semi-ballistic missile with cruise missile type capability. And just like any other missile they more or less have decoys & ECM to jam and throw off the incoming missile.
      Russia will hype their air defence system just like any other country it's natural. But US sanctioned many countries that have acquired S-400 systems, which could indicate that US does see it as a threat. If it wasn't capable, they simply wouldn't have been that serious in this regard

So either the DCS version is WAY overmodeled, or the skill level of the operators in DCS is way too high, because the real life Pantsir... kinda sucks. Its getting lower than first gen Patriot vs Scud kill rates, and Patriot wasn't even originally designed to shoot down ballistic missiles. Pantsir is supposedly expressly designed to kill the sort of threats its facing. Your mention of a Pantsir getting taken out by a drone reminded me of that.

      Manpads are unlikely to be that cause of that shoot down, a visual evidence suggests that at least one helicopter was downed by a missile that was ca. 4 m long. Also, all the crews were killed, manpads does not pack such a punch and usually there is time to eject (for aircraft that is); one option would be that those were downed by Ukrainian SAMs but that would require bringing them right up to the border massively risking their loss (even if due to the visible logistics); the whole event unraveled within few minutes; Russian aircraft and helicopters were a complete strike package (Mi-8s were an electronic warfare versions Russians have 18 of them, with 12 in flying condition), and they went down in a quick order. So however crazy it wouldn't sound the most likely option is that those aircraft were downed by.... A salvo of AIM-120s. Now that is an interesting development if it were confirmed.
