Перспективи розвитку берегових ракетно-артилерійських військ Військово-Морських Сил, озброєних береговими рухомими протикорабельними ракетними комплексами

Abstract

The main condition of an effective response to threats to the national security ofUkrainein the military sphere, the protection of its sovereignty and territorial integrity at sea, is the possibility of fulfilling the basic tasks regarding the defense of the sea coast, naval bases and military-civil coastal infrastructure to ensuring its economic interests in and near territorial waters. Actual tasks on this issue are consideration of promising ways of development of coastal missile and artillery troops of the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine armed with coastal mobile anti-ship missile systems. Currently, the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not able to withstand the aggressor country on the sea, due to they do not have anti-ship missiles. The situation requires a review and adjustment of the priorities of the development of the Navy and the consideration of anti-ship missiles as well as self-propelled launchers as part of coastal mobile anti-ship missile systems. At the same time, recently designed by Kyiv State Design Bureau the new anti-ship cruise missile “NEPTUNE” makes it possible to solve the tasks listed above by using the modernized base of the “RUBEZH” coastal mobile anti-ship missile system.Neptuneis structurally located in a transport launch container and can be produced in a variant of sea, air or land-based. It is advisable to devote further research in this area to the development of a mathematical model and its use to justify the promising composition of coastal missile and artillery troops with promising armaments of the Navy. The information presented in this paper would be appropriate to use when substantiating the development, acquisition of capabilities and combat effectiveness of coastal missile and artillery troops of the Naval Forces of Ukraine.
