Special canvas makes Russian rockets stealthy in front of the satellite

Russian troops will deploy tents capable of completely concealing the combination of anti-radar guns and enemy satellites.

The Russian BM-30 Smerch and BM-27 Uragan cannon will be hidden by tents made of special materials, which help them invisible to surveillance equipment such as radar, satellites and sensors. infiltrating the enemy, Sputnik said Jan. 17.

Tents are equipped with ventilation, fire control, power and heating systems. The first eight sheds will be deployed at the 338th Missile Regiment of the Eastern Military Region, located in the Ussuriysk region bordering China. Russian Defense Ministry officials said a series of jet fire brigades would be working on this kind of special tent in 2017.

The tents are mounted on a steel frame, wrapped in ribbons to hide the true shape and blend into the surrounding environment. Fabric material has the ability to conceal infrared signals, disable the sensors on unmanned aircraft, reconnaissance or satellite. Tents can withstand heavy rain and temperatures to -50 ° C, as well as earthquakes of magnitude 6.

Each tent is 100m long, 24m wide and 5m high, the area used is over 2,000m ² . Despite its size, the tent can be deployed by soldiers in just a few hours.

"In the past, we used to put military equipment in small compartments or simply leave them outdoors." Tanks and armor can easily withstand extreme weather, but complex systems like Smerch and the Uragan can be damaged in such conditions, " military expert Viktor Murakhovsky said.

Outdoor combat vehicles are also likely to become targets for enemy technology intelligence, particularly jet and ballistic missile combos such as Smerch, Uragan and Iskander.

The BM-30 Smerch is Russia's most powerful fuselage unit, commissioned in 1987. Each cannon is equipped with 12 300mm caliber launchers, a range of 20-90 km and capable of destroying all living things. Area of 67 hectares. Russian troops are expected to equip modern navigation systems to increase the accuracy and power of Smerch in the near future.
