"Dagger" will block the eastern and northern coasts
Despite the fact that nobody knew about the Dagger, it is not just being developed, but even already in the Russian Armed Forces. Since December 1, this complex has put on combat duty in the Southern Military District, said Vladimir Putin. The commander-in-chief of the Russian Air Force, Sergey Surovikin, later specified that the Dagger had embarked on pilot-combat duty in one of the air formations, and now the "bases of its combat use" are being tested. In other words, the system is delivered to the troops, however, the last, field tests pass.
"Usually this kind of testing goes on for a year.It depends on the test program that is delivered.With regard to the deployment, the MiG-31 we have, after the modernization, when received letters" BM ", they were converted including under carriers of such missiles, "Leonkov said. "If we take the airfields of the MiG-31 base, then they are on the directions where there are the greatest fears of a sudden strike - western, eastern, southern." The specifics of work on offshore objects can move them closer to our maritime boundaries, so that the take-off and strike times are maximized reduced, "he pointed out.
In turn, Lavrov believes that after the full-scale introduction of the "Dagger" into the troops, first of all, it will block the eastern and northern coasts. It is there that the work on maritime targets is most important, and the new complex will be most effective.
Experts agreed that it is unlikely that this missile will be sent to Syria for testing, as there is simply no point in this - there will be no difference with the range. The rocket is not cheap, there are simply no objects in Syria that would be worth using to destroy it, except to demonstrate the real existence of the missile, they noted
