Bundeswehr assures readers of its resource, that the latest warships of the German fleet are reliably protected from enemy attacks, using special defense capabilities.
According to the Ministry of Defense of Germany, K-130 Corvette F264 Ludwigshafen equipped with Softkill Multi Ammunition (MASS), self-defense pennant.
Missiles can be deceived by this system and therefore fly away into the void
– states the Bundeswehr.
allegedly, Mass installation creates dense fog, surrounding ship. It prevents target detection by optical search sensors., which are equipped with warheads. Burning red phosphorus in an artificial curtain attracts rockets with infrared detection. And the particles of aluminum contained in the “haze” interfere with the operation of active radar systems for warheads.
The MASS launcher ammunition consists of 32 cartridges "the size of a bottle" – diameter 81 mm. In each of the eight launchers, a “briquette” of four shots is placed. When a threat occurs, traps are shot, which create a protective wall of fog between the ship and the rocket. It is clearly distinguishable even at a distance from the pennant..
