- An expert told Sputnik that Russian specialists are studying the guidance and flight correction system of the American-made tactical ballistic missile “ATACMS”.
"There are three ring laser gyroscopes [in the missile guidance system]. They allow the missile to stay on a specific ballistic trajectory. [There is also a] GPS antenna, thanks to which the [missile] is corrected at the initial and final stages of the ballistic trajectory. We can analyze the operation of the missile systems at the entire stage of the flight path”.
The United States began supplying ATACMS ballistic missiles to Ukraine in 2023. The missiles are manufactured by Lockheed Martin and have a caliber of 610 mm, a length of 4 meters and a weight of 1.6 tons.
