Pentagon "gave the go-ahead" for export SM-6

It became known that the US Department of Defense issued a permit for the implementation of Standard Missile-6 (SM-6) anti-aircraft missile interceptors to other countries. According to analysts, Japan, South Korea and Australia are primarily interested in these products. In recent years, these countries have been extensively modernizing their naval forces. The lag observed in this case in a number of areas of shipbuilding is compensated by the export of missing technical solutions, including from the USA.

SM-6, entered service in 2016 year, is one of the latest developments of the US defense industry. They are designed to combat various air targets - airplanes, unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise and ballistic missiles. The missiles are equipped with active radar homing from the air strikes AIM-120 AMRAAM in addition to the semi-active guidance system. According to some reports, the maximum range of the missile is from 370 to 460 km. The height of the lesion is more than 33 km. With a starting mass of 1,5 tons it accelerates to 4290 km / h. As a launcher used standard Mk.41 system "Aegis" (Aegis).

As reported in December 2016 of the year, the United States began to deploy a new shipboard air defense system to achieve initial combat readiness. It is possible that the export of the rocket is intended to provide additional financial resources to bring the SM-6 up to the quality assurance plan.

It would be interesting to compare with our missiles,

so the main data is closed
(judging by the words of Konashenkov that the S-400 range will be a surprise for those who want to check it)

[just exp]

here, unfortunately, the Americans bypassed us. missiles with such a range and such weight in our fleet so far are not there. Yes, and in the land, our weight is inferior.
but there is a hope that our maneuvering goals still work better. but not a fact. possibly lagging behind in fuel.

[cniza]

God forbid to compare in practice, and so - somewhere we are behind, somewhere we are ahead - this is where the balance of power rests.

[bouncyhunter]

Parity is a shaky soil. But I believe in the power of Russia.

Unfortunately, you don’t have the habit of reading articles to the end.
So hurry up to kneel down.
Therefore, especially for you:

... It is possible that rocket exports are designed to provide additional financial resources to bring the SM-6 to the specifications.

[Blackmokona]

Attention! [i] [/ i] that the export of the rocket is designed to provide additional financial resources to bring the SM-6 to the quality set in the terms of reference.

Just a gang without facts.

[just exp]

redoubts are also being brought up with us, but that’s not the point, already as a year or two the SM-6 hit an over-the-horizon target, it was aimed from Avax, but we haven’t had this at all yet.

[Alexander Abdrakhmanov]

The range depends on the powder charge. That's the whole secret of her weight. Those who know the range of the S-400 are known only to the military, and they destroy all targets with hypersound that exist today. On the way "S - 500" - the characteristics are not known. Our team tested a hypersonic missile, its speed is 17 km, which is 500 times higher than the American one, who can intercept this and even maneuver in flight. Let it be - we still have time to surprise the USA. Only then let them not howl all over the planet, they already have hysteria from some "Caliber". They also don't know how to catch it, they only learn from our media that they were used in Syria.

[Wiruz]

Yes, there is nothing special to compare. We have worse rockets, better missiles. Different weight categories, so to speak.
40N6, for example, has a flight range of 400 km, the maximum height of destruction, according to rumors, is 185 km (it is hard to believe), and the warhead on our rocket will be much more powerful. 40N6M, according to very optimistic forecasts, will have (or already have) a flight range of 600 km, which is also too much like a fairy tale. It’s another matter that we don’t put such missiles on ships, for now. And there’s nothing to put on.
Total, on anti-aircraft weapons on ships, the US Navy is ahead of the rest. In addition to ZRAK, of course

In Soviet times, performance characteristics were generally voiced on occasion. no advertising. pre scare.
Like tomorrow, the Suk is 3 meters long and I’ll beat them all naughty monkeys like Obama. although he cries all the time. so does not want to leave the presidency.

[i] [/ Another important difference between the SM-6 and previous missiles is the extremely powerful Mk 72 acceleration accelerator, borrowed from the SM-3 missile. Significantly more powerful than the accelerators used previously, the new acceleration engine provides the SM-6 with a range of up to 240 km (on a partially ballistic trajectory) with a ceiling of up to 33 kilometers] Data from Wikipedia.

[just exp]

it was interesting from where in the article the range from 370 km.

[Wiruz]

How long has Wikipedia become an authoritative source? Moreover, the English-speaking Wiki attributes to this rocket twice as long range

[Same lech]

Do not forget about our CALIBERS ... whose initial range was significantly underestimated ... what real characteristics of our missiles can only be guessed at.

[Wiruz]

Do not forget about our CALIBERS ... whose initial range was significantly underestimated

Oh my God!! I thought there were none left !!
Where?! Tell me !! Where and when were the performance characteristics of our Calibers underestimated ?! Ever since the commissioning of the RK "Dagestan" (the first ship with the UKSK) there was a statement about the possibility of hitting ground targets at a distance of about 2500 km !! It was 2012 !!
And the fact that empty-headed magazines and Internet poker players missed the letter "E" in the name of missiles, the performance characteristics of which flashed at exhibitions and advertising stands, were already their problems. Those who were at least a little on friendly terms with their heads immediately realized that the 3M14 "Caliber", created practically on the basis of the Grenade, could not fly closer than its predecessor!

[corporal]

Something is not entirely clear from the article:

interest ........ show Japan, South Korea and Australia.

Speech only about these countries? Or can any Poles with Balts and other Turks also be able to buy?

Just everything is clear. Hot cakes, with heat, with heat and on the dining table sharing ATP-ovskogo pie!
Why not understand !? Well, and besides, put pressure on the hunfuz, intimidate ... Apparently they will soon run to us for the latest systems, if they have not had time to develop and rivet their own. So, this is only the first starling of a starling! Spring and hot summer are yet to come. Yeah.

[Thunderbolt]

In Europe, Americans build their own echelon of missile defense on their own. From the Poles and the Baltic states (now the Baltic states really need to be called Northern Europeans), they need only the most balanced and integrated conventional armed forces in the common system. That’s all their resources and Western aid go for. Such ships would be for These countries are redundant. It’s more useful for the Poles to buy more naval weapons from the Swedes for such money, and to buy used second-hand auxiliary fleets for litlates and better equip naval bases for receiving such destroyers.

And what does Caliber have to do with it? It's about the air defense system ... Read the article

[Wiruz]

Golden rule: mention Caliber - get a plus sign

[Muvka]

You do not know how to think logically. The man drew attention to the fact that ours underestimate the characteristics of our weapons. And not that the caliber is the sm-6 level

[Wiruz]

Everything was normal with logic, you can not worry. And about the understatement of the performance characteristics of domestic weapons ... I do not remember this. They were either disclosed or kept secret.

[JonnyT]

and why Australia? fight off penguins from Antarctica?

Do you really live in an information vacuum?
Just in case (not for you - for others)

The reason is China ...
Australia in military alliance with the United States.

In the case of BP, they will "climb" and "climb" to them ...

And also "Status-6", Zircon, Sarmat, Barguzin and of course hypersonic units

[St Petrov]

But what about the construction battalion?

[Vadim237]

"Status 6" is the name of the program for the creation of underwater strike systems and manned submarines.

[Dormidont2]

I thought why our anti-aircraft missiles c400 (c300) are heavier (and larger) cm6 = 1,5 tons (or similar patriots up to 180 km) for example 48N6-2 1,8 -1,9 tons range of 250 km, and then I looked at the speed cm6 to 4290 km \ h, and the rocket speed (s400) 48n6-2 (range 250 km, for a range of 400 km there is no data) up to 2500 m \ s, this is up to 9150 km \ h, that is, more than 2 times higher! and for this we need naturally more solid fuel, plus warhead mass of 180 kg, cm6 like 100 kg.

"And the chest just opened:
I pressed the lever and - oh .... Xia! "(C).
Dear Dormidont! I hasten to tell you the unpleasant news: the energy intensity of our mixed TTs was by 22% lower than the ones from Amov ... (sadness)
The control and guidance system, everything that is usually called avionics, is larger and weightier. The backlog in the element base was about 10 years ... Therefore, when the amas pretend to be hit by a "bullet in a bullet" (yes, in greenhouse conditions, with beacons on targets, etc.) we have to invent volume-detonating and all kinds of rod warheads to hit adversary with a given probability ... or SBP cling.
Those 20 years when types like Gaidar and his team were selling our homeland, under the wise guidance of Boris the forty-degree, the Yankees sawed new technologies and exotics such as GZO and HARPA, the invisibles riveted to their pleasure, the theory of Moscow State University was muddied. And it’s all for letting us handy lime ...
Recently, a tremendous leap forward has been made. There are developments and single samples ... But there is not that margin of time for new MBTs to become 80-90% in service with active units and formations!
There is a picture of 41 of the year ... And Armata is on the way, and Barguzin and Sarmat are beating a hoof, and the T-50 is already flying 8 prototypes ... Ash went into autonomy ...
And they have similar systems in large quantities in service ...
And in every way they provoke us, they poison us with sanctions, they do not give our science and technology to develop in conjunction with the world community. Machine tools and those forbid us to sell, not to mention electronics and dual-use technologies ...
So, rejoice quietly that at least our guys have it. This is all torn away from pensioners and teachers, orphans, so that the overseas uncle would not want to profit from our Trans-Ural pantry, well, the one where we have the bunkers of the Motherland.
So then, dear Dormidont!
And we will do the States: our Kulibins have higher propulsivity !!!

[Gerasim Donskoy]

"We will make the states" ... you are the same maker! There will be no more time to retreat to the Volga, and they have had the F-22 in service for 7 years since it was adopted. And the T-50, only the first five units will go into service in combat units, since they, like all new items, still need to be mastered! And this is at least two years!

And about "stomping to the Volga", so you wrote it. We're not going to.

All that holds them is our security article. But it can be circumvented by unleashing a war with North Korea, for example. It is not in vain that the United States is bringing in Japan of the South Karei))).

[Niccola Mack]

Now the arms race will go.
Ours are strong in ground-based air defense systems; Americans traditionally develop naval systems.
However, nothing prevents us from putting ground systems on ships (with revision).
But performance characteristics will be approximately the same - and will depend on the general level of technology.
In any case, neither side will have principal dominance.

[Gerasim Donskoy]

Well, unfortunately in all respects the American is superior to the S-400 Triumph. This means that the restless - the enemy does not sleep! By the way, something in Syria "Triumph" is silent. But it's high time to get in and bring the partners to life on behalf of the Syrian army at least once.

For a year now, how the ear’s target hit, we know how their tests are carried out. Once out of twenty it hit and then we’ll bring it to mind. Since when did the Israelis drone hit them with vaunted rockets? Here it is.
