Pakistan Navy anti-ship missiles ...

[hasnainfirst]

The Pakistani navy has a rather diverse arsenal of Anti-Ship missiles each armed on a different platforms indented for different methods of fire and creating a strong layer of naval defence while giving the Pakistani naval vessels considerable fire power. Here's a introduction to the main anti ship missiles is service with the Pakistan navy. ( Note the air force naturally also has its own arsenal but that won't be discussed here)

* Firstly a little introduction to Anti ship missiles *



Anti-ship missiles are large guided missiles that are designed for use against enemy surface naval vessels and large boats. Typically anti-ship missiles are of the sea skimming variety ( fly very close to sea to avoid radar detection) and many use a combination of inertial guidance and active radar homing to guide the missile to it's target as it glides at high speeds.

As technology advances it's getting harder and harder to evade one of these as older missiles gets upgraded and newer more faster or stealthy ones are produced. Pakistan navy currently uses

Harpoon Block II

Harpoon Anti-Ship Missile


The Harpoon is an all-weather, over-the-horizon, anti-ship missile system. It's the main dedicated Anti-Ship missile currently in service of US Navy which uses active radar homing, and a low-level, sea-skimming cruise trajectory to improve survivability and lethality. In the Pakistan navy two versions of it are used.

C-802A

C-802A Anti-Ship Missiles


The C-802 is the upgraded version of the main Chinese anti-ship missile the YJ-8. The C-802 is a new highly capable missile which due to its small radar reflectivity, low attack flight path (only five to seven meters above the sea surface) and strong anti-jamming capability of its guidance system, adept at penetrating ship defenses. It is currently in service on Pakistan navy's newer surface ships and PAF JF-17 aircraft as the C-802AK.

Harbah

Harbah Anti-Ship Missile


The Harpoon is a newer endogenously developed all-weather, over-the-horizon, anti-ship missile system. It was recently tested at the start of 2018 not much has been revealed about it yet except its highly maneuverable, air-breathing turbojet engine powered and accurately hit all it's targets during testing phase. Analysts have reported its highly probable that its reconfigured naval version of the Babar cruise missile. If this is true then the missile also has the capability to carry a small nuclear pay load. Its currently only in use on a few Fast attack crafts as it's still in it's early stages of induction.

Exocet

Exocet Anti-Ship Missile on a Sea King helicopter


The Exocet is a battle proven French-built anti-ship missile highly useful against small to medium warships like Corvettes to Frigate's /Destroyers ( Tho larger aircraft carriers would require multiple missiles) . This missile is an internally guided weapon, Whose main advantage is its low flight altitude (generally 1-2 meters above the water). Due to this low altitude, this sea-skimming missile can often avoid detection until it is about 6000 meters from the target, which leaves little time for launching surface-to-air missiles. Consequently, this missile has a good hit probability. It is in service of Pakistan navy as



* SM39 : Agusta Submarines(Via Torpedo tubes)



* AM39 : Equipped on naval Mirage jets



* AM39 : Equipped on Sea king helicopters



•=====================================•



Zarb

Zarb Anti-Ship Missile


The Zarb is a shore-based long range anti-ship missile. The missile has an inertial guidance system using GPS and BeiDou data, and ( active terminal sensor. It is reportedly highly maneuverable and changes flight course multiple times to avoid counter measures whole flying low .The missile was successfully tested on 9 April 2016 from a coastal area and it successfully . It is in service of Pakistan navy stationed in coastal areas.

Navy's Lacking area :

BrahMos Hyper sonic anti ship missiles


One place where Pakistan navy is currently lacking is the absence of dependable Hyber sonic Anti-Ship missiles as a counter to it's main adversary the Indian navy's BrahMos hyper sonic missiles. India jointly with Russia created the BrahMos and to counter it Pakistan would need to either create it's own or jointly develop one with China.



Pakistans current solution:

CM-400AKG Hyper sonic Anti-Ship Missiles armed on a JF-17 Multi role fighter


While the Navy it self does not possess a hyper sonic anti ship missile, the Pakistan air force does. The PAF and Navy often conduct joint exercises and cooperate closely in times of need so it's no surprise the PAF would have a good anti-ship arsenal.



The Pakistan air force has multiple types of anti ship missiles available and one of the is the CM-400AKG , a highly dependable Hyper sonic anti ship missile that can be armed on jets. Depending on the altitude it can reach speeds up to over 4Mach , it's is highly regarded as a effective Ship killer and a close cousin of the CM-302 the missile marketed as "the world's best anti-ship missile", tho unusual characteristic is that it does not fly at low altitude to avoid detection, but rather uses high altitude launching to achieve high altitude advantage survivability and breaking through the speed of Mach 4 speculated to reach around 5.



Presently the Navy also has plans to induct the JF-17 multi role fighter along with which it will also get the CM-400AKG missiles. A good enough counter to the Indian Navy triumph card the "BrahMos" balancing the shift in power.

hypersonic missiles are good against fixed targets like missile launching sites or headquarters etc, moving targets can dodge them by changing their course coz once hypersonic has been fired there is almost no chance to change its course... on the other hand hypersonic missiles are very expensive like one unit of Barahmos could cost around 3 million $

[Vapnope]

What we need a dedicated air arm for Navy armed with anti ship missiles. Navy should be able to hold on its own in the case of war.

PN Air Arm has been in existence since 1976.
Fulfilling all these roles; Surveillance, Recce, EW, AShM, ASW, SAR, OTHT and Transport.

Great achievements.

Hi, I wanted to politely add some commentary to the above point. Hypersonic missiles have a low-high-low flight pattern. The reason for flying high is firstly the ramjet engine kicks in, but secondly establishing a kill zone from which the target cannot escape.

If you think of a missile flying very high, and zooming down onto a target at sea, it establishes a rectangular box in which the target is boxed in. As such, a hypersonic missile can easily catch a moving target like a ship. Kindly please see the video below.

dear sir,
the lateral acceleration needed to rapidly correct course while traveling tens of miles per second is difficult to achieve. Conventional steering fins tend to melt or sheer off and divert rockets require considerable amounts of fuel to make more than very tiny course adjustments.
In reality hypersonic projectiles tend to fly ballistic or semi-ballistic trajectories and rely primarily on inertial guidance to hit a predetermined aim point.
furthermore, CX-1 is a supersonic missile with a speed of mach.3 while the hypersonics is a category of missiles beyond mach.5.
but Russian Kalibr series is something serious since The first stage would be a totally conventional sub sonic cruise missile with a second stage high speed attack vehicle which could reach the speed of mach.3.The cruise missile would carry the attack stage to the point that the target is detected, line up on the target, whereupon the hypersonic attack vehicle is launched to proceed to the target purely on inertial guidance, perhaps with some nominal “lead angle”. At hypersonic speed, the attack vehicle would cover the distance from the horizon to the target in a bare few seconds, far too little time for the target to move out of the way.

Why these airforce C 400 hypersonics not given equiped on navy ships

It' an air launched missile.

Wonder when we will see a test for the CX-1
