China's CX-1 Missile Now Exportable

TAIPEI — China’s new CX-1 supersonic anti-ship cruise missile is ready for export to America’s friends and foes alike, with potential markets including Iran, Pakistan and African and South American countries.

On display at the recent Airshow China in Zhuhai, the missile resembles India’s BrahMos cruise missile with a large intake in the nose, referred to as the “axial symmetrical inlet” in the brochure. However, that appears to be the only similarity, according to Chinese-language media outlets, which mention differences in wing, guidance vanes and jet vanes of the two missiles.

Russia’s NPO Mashinostroyenia (NPOM) and India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation jointly developed the BrahMos, basing it on the NPOM’s Yakhont (P-800 Oniks) missile.

Vasiliy Kashin, a researcher at Moscow’s Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, disputed Chinese media reports that denied a connection. He said the CX-1 is likely based in part on the BrahMos surface-to-surface missile, “but Russia did not sell this to China or offer enough data to China to build one.” However, Russia has sold the missile to other states in the region, including Indonesia and Vietnam, “so it is conceivable one or more of those states could have provided some details to China,” he said.

Andrew Erickson, a China military specialist at the US Naval War College and coauthor of the book “A Low-Visibility Force Multiplier: Assessing China’s Cruise Missile Ambitions,” said that while the CX-1’s “precise provenance remains uncertain, the overall capabilities of China’s cruise missile industry are clearly significant.”

China continues to pursue foreign technological sources actively, “but is able to combine multiple technologies and vectors of inspiration with genuine indigenous capabilities to produce major new systems of its own,” he said.

Kashin said the CX-1 is a product of the Chinese Academy of Launch Technology (CALT), or the 1st Academy under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp. Most of China’s cruise missiles, including the most advanced ones, are developed by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp.’s 3rd Academy.

Kashin said though it is unusual for CALT to be “in this game, they do have very strong aerodynamics experts and other capabilities that they can parlay into competing in the ballistic missile and cruise missile sectors.”

The CX-1 display at Zhuhai indicates the missile comes in two variants; the CX-1A ship-borne system and CX-1B road-mobile land-based system. With a range of 40 to 280 kilometers, the missile can carry a 260-kilogram warhead. These numbers are below Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) restrictions that ban missiles carrying payloads greater than 500 kilograms at ranges exceeding 300 kilometers.

However, Kashin suggested these numbers could be designed to mislead and that the actual capabilities of the missile might be greater than MTCR restrictions.

At speeds of Mach 3, the missile can strike a target within a circular error probability of 20 meters, according to the display. Warheads include a unitary semi-armor-piercing warhead for ships and a unitary fragmentation-blast warhead and unitary penetration warhead for land attack.

Each road-mobile launcher carries two missiles. When attacking a slow target, such as a ship, the missile can make a terminal horizontal attack by combining high and low cruise and employ the compound guidance of a strap-down inertial measurement unit and active radar seeker.

A land-based road-mobile unit would consist of one command vehicle, one integrated support vehicle, three launching vehicles, three transporter-loader vehicle and 12 canisters for two-wave attacks.

Airshow China, known officially as the 10th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, was held Nov. 11-16 in Zhuhai.

I like how China has dedicated Institutes for critical areas like Missiles,Launch Vehicles
 
.
All the sources are from other countries. Any video of tests? A missile even close to Brahmos mk 1 takes years of testing and research where Chinese are much behind.
 
.
Pakistan needs to obtain this missile as a direct answer to Brahmos

it add nicely to our inventory

saying China is much behind India in terms of paint job will make much more sense```besides outdated Brahmos isnt much about high tech, with China's technological advancement, a small institution can do that with its own, which will take technological primitive India a lot time to do so`

so dont quote your primitive standard on China, because we are at least 3 decades before India in terms of R&D capability

Don't do too much chest thumping, you will end up in a hospital.

Its 2014 and you are trying somethings thats done by us around 14 years old by putting a mock up enough said about you. :lol: It will take 5 years a develop a missile even 50% close to that of Brahmos by China.
 
.
Pakistan is lucky our relationship with china is on such good terms they will become a future super power

we are well placed to take advantage of their rise although its never good to rely on one source for defence and always better to make indigenously China can become a one stop for things we require to counter our enemies especially india

anytime china is behind on they will catch up very quickly

this junk Brahoms nobody but only primitive india wants, and the only weapon development you can be proud of, because its working and the paint job is done by indians, unlike the other paint job weapon after 30 years still doenst really work, you know what im talking abt

it probably only takin a small Chinese Institution one year to make a far superior CX-1 to troll you Indian lol, you guys can make nothing solid and high tech, as simple as that
 
.
I can see this missile in large numbers with Pakistani forces soon.. no doubt.

This is precisely why China will never ever become a real super power and has to rely on the pumpin queen...

Copying things is okay. Copying everything is not...

China is catching up while copying while developing proper R and D on the side... Japan did well in technology and they started by copying America...

Copying is fine. Makes sense. Everyone did that...

Not coming up with new gadgets is BAD. WORSE!
