South hammer - Pakistan Air Force missile CM-400AKG


February 2014 Monthly published an interview with Pakistan Air Force Air Force deputy director of the JF-17 project, in talking about JF-17 weapon, he introduced the CM-400AKG already in service, is the JF-17BLOCK2 airborne weapons, will significantly Pakistan Air Force's ability to raise anti-ship. Contrary to expectations outside this much is generally believed that the missile is more a concept or model, but Pakistan has made clear that it has been tested, and the armed forces, will become the Palestinian side against each large surface ships, especially aircraft carriers fist weapon, which is directed at the Vic Rama Tia number of aircraft carriers in India.

From 2012 Zhuhai Airshow open model, the elastic body surface CM-400AKG did not see the air intake, combined with the Palestinian side announced -4 Mach speed, basically you can exclude it uses a turbine engine or stamping engine, it should be solid rocket motor, so that you can think of it as a kind of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles instead, according to the Missile Technology Control Protocol output, CM-400AKG should be in the range of 300 kilometers, the warhead weight should In less than 500 kg. Of course, the Palestinians have a certain ability to develop ballistic missiles, do not rule it to improve the missile's range by improving measures.

CM-400AKG to 300 km range calculations, general ballistic trajectory vertex range is about 1/4, then it is the trajectory height of about 75 km, this is beyond the scope of the general anti-aircraft surveillance radar, air defense alert for routine radar, in order to prevent energy waste, its working height is generally limited to 30 km or less, in order to ensure the normal height range in the aircraft to have maximum detection range, from Pakistan publicly indicators, CM-400AKG speed Mach 4, this should be a CM-400AKG average speed, the missile flight time is approximately the square root of the range * 14, then the CM-400AK range of about 300 kilometers, the flight time is about 250 seconds, so doing, speed of approximately at 4300 km / hour, well within this range, the maximum speed is another tactical ballistic reentry velocity, according to the relevant information, reentry velocity range is approximately the square root of * 100, the unit is m / s, with CM-400AKG has a range of 300 km is calculated, then it's reentry velocity is about 1700 m / s. Equivalent to Mach 6, clearly shows that CM-400AKG kind of high-altitude high-speed penetration as the main tactical missiles.

This is also reflected in its aerodynamic layout above, look up from the model, CM-400AKG normal aerodynamic layout with a small aspect ratio trapezoidal wings, wing area is small, suggesting that the missile wing lift for smaller contribution This is a characteristic of high-speed missile, because the faster the speed of the missile, the smaller wing contribution to lift, and the greater the contribution of missile body, so we see a new generation of high-speed missiles, such as anti-aircraft missiles, basically no wing layout, but considering the low speed of the missile ran, the missile or the use of smaller wings to increase lift at low speed, but also can balance the elastomer vortex "inclined purged" effect produced rolling torque.

Pakistan did not disclose the CM-400AKG the guidance system, which is generally considered a basic missile guidance system should be satellite navigation / inertial navigation guidance system complex, due to the Palestinian side has been able to use the signal Compass Phase II project, so effectively improve missile The hit accuracy, while reducing dependence on GPS, but this general guidance only way to combat the fixed ground targets, while the Palestinian side pointed out that CM-400AKG attack aircraft capable of such a moving target, indicating that it should have a terminal guidance system.

For such missiles CM-400AKG, its reentry speeds up to Mach 6, due to the friction of the air and missile warheads near the aerodynamic heating, the temperature of this region is very high, if the use of infrared imaging guidance system, you must After the protective cover is equipped with optical windows, such as a missile into the atmosphere deceleration, temperature drop, throw away the protective cover, infrared imaging guidance system to work, because this time the temperature of the surface of the elastomer is still high, so it is necessary to take measures for the device to cool before infrared imaging guidance system to ensure better detection performance, this guidance system is very complex, the price is more expensive, despite news China has mastered this technique, but I think from the CM-400AKG concerned, considering the price, Pakistan's economic capacity, large-scale equipment may still be active radar guidance system, compared with the infrared imaging guidance system, active radar guidance system technology is mature, cheap, and working in bomb inside without opening the playing surface and, therefore, does not require the use of a complex series of measures to ensure the guidance system to work properly, the price is also relatively low.

Overall terms, CM-400AKG for Pakistan Air Force, effectively improve the combat capability aircraft carrier battle groups in India, with the number of service Vic Rama Tia, the Indian Navy has been at the forefront of arrangement can be early warning helicopters and Mi-card -31 Grid-29K carrier-based fighters, they can constitute the first volley in a place 250 km line from the mothership, while the Palestinian side the existing C-802AK, Harpoon anti-ship missiles were less than 200 kilometers, so they need Chong Rumi Ge-29K range interceptor missile to launch.

CM-400AKG equipment can improve the Palestinian side in the anti-ship capability to 300 kilometers, the limit has been reached in early warning for sea target detection range, and also exceeded the interceptor MiG-29K range, so JF-17 uses low-onrush, CM-400AKG then jumped launch missiles against Vic Rama Tia number for standoff.For the Indian Navy, the biggest problem may be that the existing shipboard radar is mainly for aerodynamic design goals, the scope of its shipboard power remote surveillance radar is a similar area biscuits, Zenith is a blank, the other Indian Navy is currently equipped with SA-N-7/-12 shipborne air defense missile against air targets is largely developed, so that the ballistic performance of combat CM-400AKG target the poor, so that the use of CM-400AKG way through the zenith Indian aircraft carrier battle groups to provide combat section can take advantage of the machine, which is the main goal should be equipped with CM-400AKG Pakistan's.

So for the Indian Navy, the Palestinian side to defend against missile attacks CM-400AKG, it needs to resemble the Aegis warships, and improve the ship's air and missile defense capability with remote air defense missiles to expand fleet of missile defense ability, but also from India, Kolkata sea trials tower class missile destroyers, which is equipped with remote remote Barak -8 air missile has not disappeared, so that in the coming period, the Pakistan Air Force with CM-400AKG can India Navy form a relatively strong deterrent, to better ensure their safety.

From CM-400AKG deterrent for the Indian Navy can be seen, the gap between India and Pakistan in terms of weapons and equipment research and development, although India's comprehensive national strength in the dominant, and the development of a series of weapons and equipment, but most unrealistic expectations, the results dystocia, delays in service, while the Palestinian side will always focusing, plus foreign aid, focus, achieve better results and costs.

looks like the chinese translation for pakistan and palestine the same...

An anti runway version of Raad should be developed, durandals are pretty much obsolete now.

^^^ here it tells 3000 lb additional load is it mean current 4600 KG load plus 3000 lb or with this additional load total external load is 4600 KG ?
