In the USA, they unexpectedly revealed a way to guarantee the safety of air defense and radar systems from the AGM-88 HARM. As it turned out, the periodic shutdown of the radar can reduce the risk of a missile capturing its target, but only if we are talking about stations with a range of more than 20 km, reports Avia.pro .
It is reported that the missile is independently guided to any target, with radio-electronic radiation.This applies not only to air defense and radar systems, but also to electronic suppression complexes.
If the complexes and stations operate in active mode for more than 30-40 seconds, then the missile will successfully capture the target, however, if the USA provided Ukraine with more modern versions of the AGM-88D, then only 15 seconds will be enough.
It is indicated that if the military successfully identifies the missile and for the specified period of time and turns off all sources of radio-electronic radiation, then the missile will simply self-destruct.
