IIR = Imaging InfraRed.
I wonder how IIR would work for terminal guidance.
Would the Storm Shadow proceed to GPS/INS coordinates and then look for a specific IIR signature of a surface ship, submarine (at a dock), armored vehicles, or even a specific window in a building?
Anxiously awaiting BDA!
Ukraine acknowledged the attack. Russian propagandists say the planes were Su-24s outfitted with Storm Shadow cruise missiles. Reports last night was that the Russian drones bypassed Khmelnytskyi on their first approach as if they were going to attack Lviv, then doubled back and hit the airbase. There are probably some Ukrainian PSYOPs going on with Ukraine acknowledging the attacks and damage. But it really looks to me that Ukraine should be better prepared for Russian attacks on their bases in Western Ukraine. They’ve been caught flatfooted several times over the past month or so in that area. Obviously informed traitors feeding information to the Russians.
