9M82 is a two-stage Russian anti-aircraft missile used in the S-300W guided missile system.

history

The long-range surface-to-air missile system S-300W was developed on behalf of the Soviet Ministry of Defense for the defense of the Soviet Army from various air assault weapons, including combat aircraft, cruise missiles (including SRAM ) and ballistic short- and medium-range missiles. In particular, it was required to destroy Pershing missiles at a height of more than 12 km (their explosive power was estimated in the Soviet Union at 1.5  Mt , although in reality it was only 300 kt). For a successful solution to this task, it was decided to use two different types of missiles ( 9M83 and 9M82) instead of using a missile from the S-300P system.

description

The main purpose of the 9M82 missile is to combat short- and medium-range ballistic missiles and has exceptionally good flight characteristics, like the Sprint missile. It can also fight aircraft and cruise missiles. It is ejected vertically upwards from the start and transport container by a gas charge. The rocket motor of the first stage ignites at a height of around 40 m. The 9M82 reaches a speed of around 2600 m / s in an average of four seconds (3.5–6.2 s.). After the booster has burned out, it is blown off and the rocket engine of the second stage of the rocket weighing around 1213 kg is ignited for 11.16 to 17.2 s. To reach an altitude of 25 km, the average speed is 1800 m / s. As a result, the 9M82 did not violate the terms of the ABM Treaty of 1972 , according to which the average speed of the ABM rocket was allowed to be between 2000 and 3000 m / s. There is the option of delaying the ignition of the second stage by up to 20 seconds when used against aircraft. This increases the possible uses. The modernized version 9M82M with increased operating time of the on-board electrical system reaches a range of more than 300 km and is used in the guided missile system S-300WM .

The 9M82 is also integrated in the A-135-ABM system and, together with the radar system , can fight Don-2N ICBMs .
