X-22 missiles will be back in operation

99
The Ministry of Defense decided to return to duty aviation X-22 medium-range guided missiles News.





For many years they remained the main caliber of Tu-22М3 bombers, but at the beginning of the 2000-x were removed from service. Their modernization was not provided.

It has now been decided to upgrade the X-22 remaining in storage and re-arm.

According to the Ministry of Defense, all 32 units will be upgraded. Works will be carried out for three years. The total cost will be about 300 million rubles.

“The X-22 was produced by the machine-building design bureau Raduga (today it is part of the Tactical Missiles Corporation). A total of about 3 thousand of various modifications of similar products were released. The equipment of an ammunition depends on the tasks to be solved: it can carry a conventional high-explosive-cumulative or thermonuclear charge, ”the article says.

Modified ammunition in its characteristics significantly surpass the rocket, on the basis of which it was created. On the upgraded X-22, a more powerful engine is installed, the warhead at the same time decreases and the volume of fuel tanks increases. This is almost twice - to 1 thousand km - allows you to extend the range of their use,
told military expert Alexei Leonkov.

In addition, according to him, “the rocket is equipped with a new, noise-free, radar-inertial guidance system with radio command correction and reference to the terrain, an automatic control system is installed instead of the autopilot”. An upgraded version is created for action in the face of the strongest opposition of the enemy's missile defense system.

First of all, X-22 is intended for the destruction of enemy ships, radar stations and well-fortified strategic facilities.

      not entirely new. it’s just that it will have more range and it will finally cease to be driven by simple interference.
      the amount is really small. but one salvo of all 32 pieces may well break through the AUG air defense.
      although in the Soviet Union it was calculated (despite the fact that the air defense systems on the AOG and export ships were old, which were many times worse than what is now on the mattress EM), that a volley of hundreds of anti-ship missiles was needed.
      for besides the air defense system, the AUG also has fighters.

      Since the dimensions of the X-22 are the same as that of the X-32, I think that these missiles will bring during the modernization to the level of X-32.
      The modified ammunition in its characteristics will significantly surpass the rocket on the basis of which it was created. On the upgraded X-22, a more powerful engine is installed, at the same time the warhead is reduced and the volume of fuel tanks is increased. This almost doubles - up to 1 thousand km - allows you to expand the range of their application,

        This is important in the defeat of small targets when using a high-precision guidance system. To defeat a ship with a displacement of, say, 2000 tons, it takes more than a through hole and a minor fire, especially if the trajectory does not go through critical components and assemblies. To inflict the ship as much damage as possible, the corresponding landmine is used. Having exploded inside the ship, taking into account the limited volume, it does the most damage. To shoot steel destroyers even a destroyer (not to mention an aircraft carrier) is a futile business, costly both in time and in the number of these same blanks. If you use a small landmine, you will need fewer hits, and the more landmines the less hits you need to disable the ship. The article says that the warhead will be reduced. And it turns out that if these missiles decided to hunt for boats, then - yes, you need a small landmine, and sometimes normal kinetics are enough. But is it not a little expensive to get a "fly swatter", taking into account all the costs of hitting a boat ?! And nowhere in the article is there an indication that the missile will become highly accurate after modernization! More so far it looks like a cut of money for modernization!

            Here the factor of the place of entry and the organization of emergency measures is important. It is not worth hoping that any large blank will get where it is necessary and the crew will not be able to localize the consequences of this defeat! A miss in a couple of meters and the consequences of a hit can be insignificant, and the ship, although damaged, can remain as a combat unit. The Kh-22 missile is certainly large, but it is not a monolith, they want to reduce warheads, and the tanks will occupy most of its volume, their walls will not cause serious damage by their inertia, the fire from the remaining fuel will give more than the tanks themselves.
            ... that accuracy should be improved.

            Without increasing accuracy, reducing warheads makes no sense. So we will see!

              Here the factor of the place of impact and the organization of emergency measures is important.

              I agree, you can’t argue. But after all, modern ships are by no means armadillos. The likelihood of drowning is much higher, even with a reduced charge.
              Without increasing accuracy, reducing warheads makes no sense.

                So I didn’t really understand the specifics of the “brains”. To increase accuracy, it is necessary to improve the guidance and orientation systems of the missile in order to direct the missile not just at the ship, but at its vulnerable parts in the conditions of counteracting the enemy's air defense-missile defense and electronic warfare. Using orientation systems such as GPS or GLONAS, as potential opponents do, is only possible against some Somali pirates or stoned terrorists who are unable to jam signals. Against technologically advanced opponents, such orientation methods are ineffective and will reduce accuracy to nothing. If these problems are not solved, then the rocket will become weaker. I don’t think that they will tell us about real improvements, we can only hope that common sense will prevail over the sense of profit! hi

                  My concern is to transfer them to Cerberus, and then this is his problem! Hercules is no longer drawn to exploits, so now he is not distracted. If you do not tease him, then he is even darling!

                  Today, the cunning people have gone, but how will Cerberus not follow anyone? Yes, and the deeds of Hercules do not allow many to sleep, but what if it turns out to surpass. wink wink

                  So I think that modernization will solve these issues first of all, and only after that - the size of the charge and the flight range. hi

          You are mistaken. Kinetic energy, even without an explosion, is quite enough to inflict at least such damage on a medium-displacement ship that one can forget about the performance of a combat mission - if only not to drown. Even conventional ABs with a caliber of 500-1000 pounds inflicted very serious damage on frigates and destroyers - just read the history of the conflict in the Falklands. They generally wrote about Mosquitoes that kinetic energy is enough to break a frigate. In any case, a hole in the bottom is provided, motors and pumps torn from the foundations, broken pipelines, broken electrical wiring, and then on the list. This is if without an explosion. But, most likely, the warhead will explode for itself, and if instead of 900 there will be 500-600 kilos, then for any ship other than AB, this will be more than enough. Well, unburned fuel is the same explosive.
          So, if it is possible, due to the reduction in warheads, to deliver an electronic warfare station, then PMSM, this must be done.

            I wrote above what conditions it depends on.
            Even conventional 500-1000 pound ABs did very serious damage to frigates and destroyers

            Are you going to sprinkle X-22 missiles on ships as well as air bombs, increasing the chance of getting to critical nodes? I think it will be too expensive a pleasure, taking into account the work of air defense missile defense and ships and probable misses.
            In any case, a hole in the bottom is provided, motors and pumps torn from the foundations, broken pipelines, broken electrical wiring, and then on the list.

            Why is this, of course, a hole below the waterline? A missile can penetrate holes above the waterline, and fall not in the center of the ship, but in the stern or bow. Engines torn from the foundations? And why not immediately missile silos or artillery cellar, so that immediately to feed the fish? Who will guarantee that it is the missile that will hit the ship that will cause him maximum damage? Usually, to destroy a combat unit, much more ammunition is laid out than is actually necessary for a successful defeat. There are not so many of these missiles that, with a serious decrease in the power of warheads, without increasing their accuracy, they can be described as a serious tool in conducting large-scale military operations.
            But, most likely, the warhead will explode completely, and if instead of 900 there will be 500-600 kilos, then for any ship other than AB, this will be more than enough.

            It is not indicated how much it will decrease after the modernization of warheads, therefore, there is really nothing to argue about, although the mere fact of a warhead reduction without a serious increase will indicate bad trends. hi

    When there is not enough money for the development of new missiles, they begin to give out the old Soviet junk for super-lacking world analogs, sadly.

Recently, at the exercises, the Tulip mortar flew into the air when fired, the installations were repaired and put into operation - and the production of new mines did not set up junk from warehouses manufactured by the USSR, they use the same thing with aviation weapons.

        Only the upgraded Tu-32M22M are adapted for the X-3. And return to service X-22 under the Tu-22M3. Apparently expensive to upgrade a new Tu-22 missile. So they decided to upgrade the old X-22, it seems cheaper. In general, the X-32 is a deep modernization of the X-22. hi

          Kasym good afternoon. Not quite right write, with your permission I will correct you.
          So. At the moment, the modernization of the Tu22m3 goes in two directions:
          1. Tu22m3 with a short story complex, this complex is sharpened by x32, but at the same time the aircraft loses its ability to use AB, as part of the NBS is removed. The inability to bomb did not suit the military very much, since for all the years of service the aircraft had never used rockets for real purposes, but it was pretty much fought as a bomb (although it was created primarily as a missile carrier). But the novel is pushed by the Tupolevites, and the car goes.
          2. Installing SVP22-3 equipment on tu24m22, while the aircraft is capable of launching x22 missiles and bombing with increased accuracy (well, plus navigation more precisely and a couple of know-how to simplify preparation for departure), but the hephaestus is not able to "work" x32 , and in the near future they are going to take this rocket into service and put into series.
          At the moment, the third version of the tu22m3- with hephaestus 2 equipment is ready. This is exactly the same 22m3m, here the Hephaestos finalized SVP24-22 and at x32 (maybe at x50), the most optimal option is to shoot all types of missiles, throw bombs with high accuracy, so it will take off, see, it will be especially interesting for me to see x50, the troops did not even see her yet, and many did not even hear her

            Thank you Dmitry! No specialists in any way! Please explain. Old Tu-22 could use AB (before the installation of Hephaestus)? I remember how someone (amateurs) argued with the specialist who flew on it. Specialist wrote that AB only "by eye and nose." Honestly, then I was surprised. It turned out that the Tu-22 was only for the AUG - too highly specialized. Some kind of "nedobomber". hi

    This is almost twice - up to 1 thousand km - allows you to expand the range of their application
    She flew without upgrades on 500 km without any problems. Only even in Soviet times, the anti-ship version of the missile was not allowed to reach a range of more than 300 km. Because target designation. Aircraft monopoly sees a large target like an aircraft carrier at a distance of about 300-350 km.
    And in the PSI variant, when firing at a ground target, the norm for this type of missile was to hit square 10 x 10 kilometers with a probability of 0,8. So I don’t know, I don’t know ...

The article is a set of heresies !!! X22 for today is the only type of AUR that are in service with the tu22m3. X32 is not yet in service, x50 even more so.
