The new medium-range surface-to-air missile Coral has been selected to become the common anti-air modular missile system for use by the Ukrainian Land Force, Navy and Air Force.
The missile would be used to engage and defeat advanced airplanes, helicopters, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and other aerodynamic targets, at ranges up to 30 km and max altitude of 10 km.
By way of reminder, Radionix has completed development on several active seeker heads optimized for use on new missiles being developed by DKKB Luch. “Radionix has developed a few types of active homing heads for air-to-air missiles. Here the talk is about an X-band head that had been developed as part of an R-27 missile upgrade, as well as about a series of active 200-mm millimeter-wave seekers for ongoing Luch missile projects”, Mr Zavyalov has explained.
