Tactical missile complex "Tochka-U"
Missile complex "Tochka-U" was developed to engage in tactical behind enemy lines single, group and area targets, which are of considerable importance: the command posts and communication centers, Parking of airplanes and helicopters, munitions and fuel.
The complex includes:
missiles 9M79-1, which can be used for various types of combat troops;
launcher;
transport vehicle;
transport-loading vehicle;
test machine;
machine maintenance;
training facilities;
set of Arsenal equipment.
"Point" is a very versatile tool that can be used in any conflict and to solve different problems. On the rocket you can install different types of warheads: high-explosive, cluster, warhead containing various types of chemical or biological weapons. Also the rocket can be used for nuclear weapons delivery (up to 100 kt) The main element of the complex is solid-fuel ballistic missile 9M79M (9M79-1), which has one step. The missile is controlled throughout its flight, from launch to hitting the target. A combat unit can not be separated at the final stage of the flight, moreover, the engine is running from the rocket launch to her meeting with a purpose. It has only one mode of operation and during his work burns more than 800 pounds of fuel. The body of the rocket consists of a head and missile parts. It is made of a special aluminum alloy. The head part is attached with six bolts. The location of the rudders and airfoils of the missile X-shaped. Part of the rocket consists of tail, movement and instrument compartments and aerodynamic surfaces. In front of it is the instrument compartment and the middle part – the engine compartment. In the tail section of a nozzle of the engine, the power source, and part of the control system. There are lattice of aerodynamic surfaces. Only the rocket has four of the trapezoidal wing, four-jet helm and the same aerodynamic rudders. In the stowed position all the wings fold. Immediately after launch the missile control is carried out using a gas-jet rudders, and then in the case enters a lattice aerodynamic rudders. Solid-propellant motor consists of the combustion chamber and nozzle block of a fuel charge and ignition system. For the manufacture of engine used alloy steels, materials based on graphite and tungsten alloys. The fuel charge is a monoblock, the main combustible material which is aluminum powder, and a binder — resin. Acts as an oxidizer ammonium perchlorate. During engine operation, the fuel charge burns at a steady rate, providing a constant burning area from the start to hitting the target. The ignition system consists of two squibs and an igniter. During startup, the squibs ignite the igniter which in turn ignites the propellant charge. On-Board control system of the missile inertial, it is equipped with on-Board computing system and gyro 9Б64, which ensures high accuracy of target destruction. Also in the on-Board control system includes the sensors of angular velocities and accelerations. The missile is controlled throughout the ballistic trajectory, in contrast to earlier models of Soviet tactical and operational-tactical missiles, which have been carried on only to a certain point (usually to achieve a given speed). Missile complex "Tochka-U" is very mobile and has good speed thanks to four-wheel drive testiclesvas install 9П129 on which it is made. On the highway it can reach the speed of 60 km/h with a full combat load. The machine can overcome water obstacles at a speed of 10 km/h. Electronics launcher fully independently carries out everything you need to start manipulation, the intervention of the crew is minimal. Enter flight data is performed in the horizontal position of the missile through a special window in its housing. To calculate tasks and flight path data used satellite imagery and aerial photography The launch can be produced almost from any platform, speed of deployment when firing from the March is 16 minutes, and from the "readiness №1" — only 2 minutes. The requirement only one: the target should be sector of 15 degrees of the longitudinal axis of the rocket. Launcher can leave the launch site after two or three minutes. The rocket launcher appears on the corner just fifteen seconds before the start. This greatly complicated the work of the enemy intelligence. The crew of the launchers consists of four people: chief of calculation, the driver, senior operators and operators. The rocket complex are supplied to the troops already assembled and can be stored for ten years (non-nuclear warheads). The placement of missiles on the launcher is performed using transport-charging machines, which are also made on the chassis BAZ-5922. In the hermetic body of the car is two rockets. For loading launcher transport-loading vehicle is equipped with a special crane. Loading can be performed on any, even on unequipped sites.
