The mystery in Russia's

Recently, a controversial event in the West and the Middle East: Russia has equipped its troops and exported to some unique ballistic missile countries in the world - not just ' Invisibility 'can also' fly like a bird '.

It was a ballistic missile campaign - Iskander tactics. Unlike all known ballistic missiles, Iskander's key feature is being built on ' stealth ' technology, completely different from the ' stealth ' technology of Americans. .

The secret of this technology lies in a type of transmitter that produces a special type of radiation, called plazma. It is the fourth state of matter, a mixed gas environment consisting of positive and negative charges, but overall is electrically neutral.

Once this type of radiation is covered around an object that needs to be covered, the object is completely " invisible " to the most modern " eye of the radar".

Even the cheapest, oldest aircraft, but fitted with a plazma generator, will be able to be ' invisible ' no less than the super-modern American fighter aircraft F-117 and B-2 advertised. beng in the world.

According to Coroteev, director of the Center for Scientific Research named Dr. Keldysh, can imagine the fundamental difference between ' invisible ' technology of Americans and Russians through a simple illustrative example. If throwing a ping pong ball into the wall, it will collide and bounce right back.

Likewise, when the radar signal hits the aircraft, it is reflected from the aircraft and returned to the radar receiving radio antenna . At that time, the plane will be exposed to the radar screen. But if the wall is rugged, has many angles towards the different sides, the ball after the collision will bounce back anywhere but cannot return to the old place.

At that time, I said the signal lost contact. America's ' invisibility ' technology is based on this same principle. Therefore, American ' stealth ' aircraft have a strange shape. If you cover the wall of a soft net, when the ping-pong ball is thrown into it, it will not bounce back and lose the energy to move and fall right at the foot of the wall.

Stealth technology of the Russians based on this simple principle. No country in the world has mastered the same ' invisible ' technology of the Russians. In the late 1990s, Americans began to conduct research in this direction, but it seems that they have not caught up with the Russians.

The Iskander missile is also fitted with a special control system, so it can be maneuvered very flexibly. Therefore, the enemy's air defense system is difficult to intercept, if not impossible, because while 'flying like a bird', Iskander's overload may exceed 20-30 times the gravity of the Left. Land, meanwhile, the US and NATO interceptor anti-aircraft missiles can only withstand an overload of 3-4 times.

At a press conference held in Moscow recently, the head of the Russian Army's Missile and Artillery Department, General Zariski, announced that the Iskander missile would be put into mass production before 2010. .

According to data from the experts of the American Association of Scientists, Iskander missiles have unique features, superior performance and efficiency 5-8 times more than the same type of missiles of the foreign.

American military experts commented that they could not detect any component of the entire missile complex, from the mobile launcher, to the truck carrying the ammo and commander as well as Mobile station crawl.

To determine the target of firing for the Iskander missile complex, it is possible to use reconnaissance satellites orbiting the Earth, reconnaissance aircraft, or even single-tasked soldiers.

According to US military experts, just a few Iskander missile combinations are also capable of changing force comparisons in any regional conflict. Currently, the Iskander missile complex has been exported to many countries, including the Middle East countries. Therefore, US intelligence agencies are fearing of which countries Americans consider to be ' inconsistent '.
