PL-19 Nudol anti-satellite missile system
Popular Mechanics: Meet Russia's Imposing New Satellite-Destroying Missile
The Nudol surface-to-space missile is designed to intercept satellites in low-Earth orbit.
* Russia carried out the eighth test of the PL-19 Nudol anti-satellite missile system.
* Nudol is descended from missile interceptors designed to protect Moscow.
* The mobile system can reach out and destroy satellites in low earth orbit from Russian territory.
Russia has carried out another test of its PL-19 Nudol missile. The Nudol is an anti-ballistic missile interceptor that also functions as an anti-satellite weapon. The system ordinarily protects Moscow from missile attack but also doubles as a satellite killer capable of reaching up and shooting down satellites in low-Earth orbit.
The missile, according to the Russian Strategic Forces Blog, was launched on April 15th from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia. The missile traveled 3,000 kilometers and splashed down in the Laptev Sea. Observers of Russian military activities were tipped off to the coming test on April 11 when Russia issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) warning of “Hazardous Operations, Rocket Launching” in the splashdown area in the Laptev Sea.
