Soviet Generals Were Stunned US Cruise Missiles Could Fly Below Radar and Hit a Target

Описание: In the 1980s, the Soviet Union had the largest air defense network ever built, a near-impenetrable shield of radars, interceptors, and missiles. So how did a new American weapon fly through it completely unseen, striking targets at will and leaving Soviet leaders baffled?

This documentary explores the story of the Tomahawk cruise missile, the revolutionary weapon that redefined the rules of the Cold War. From the perspective of the Soviet PVO (Air Defense Forces), we reveal the profound shock and confusion as they faced a threat that didn't fly high and fast, but low and smart. Discover the genius of TERCOM (Terrain Contour Matching) technology that allowed these missiles to hug the earth, rendering multi-billion-ruble radar systems obsolete.

Join us as we uncover how this shift from industrial brute force to information warfare created a strategic crisis in Moscow, forcing a desperate and costly response with systems like the S-300 and MiG-31. Finally, witness the ultimate, undeniable proof of this weapon's dominance during the opening moments of Operation Desert Storm, an event that served as the final eulogy for the Soviet way of war.
