If the missiles flys high and then goes into a dive to attain high speed, to hit target, there is your weakness.
Such a missile will be easier to see and track with radar than a sea skimmer. Also interception will happen earlier.
Its no Brahmos, and its no Carrier Killer either. If such a missile is to be a threat, the PAF will need to launch dozens at the same time, to hit even a single target.
weight as 910 kg and range as 100-240 km
1 ton missile with a range of 240 with high-high flight mode and minimum range of 100 KM because it needs the distance to fly high.
Okay, its new but nothing revolutionary. the KH-31 ASM is more devestating given its flight profile.
A list of system features appears to confirm an unusual characteristic associated with the CM-400. Unlike most high-speed cruise missiles, which fly at low altitude to avoid detection, the CM-400 uses “high [altitude] launching” to achieve “higher aircraft survivability”, according to the video.
"higher aircraft survivability"? are they talking missile or the launch platform because that doesn't sound to good for survivability of the missile.
A fighter such as the
Chengdu/Pakistan Aeronautical Complex JF-17 would launch the missile at speeds between Mach 0.7 and M0.9 at an elevation between 26,200ft and 39,400ft, according to the AVIC specifications.
Given its flight profile, I don't see it suprising enemy boats.
Also it is to be noted that the Barak 1 was tested against KH-31 which has a similar terminal velocity. And Barak 8 was tested against Brahmos on multiple occasions, long range and short range as well.
