Russian experts have created a unique aerial rocket bomb. Tests are already underway

RIA News publishes information from a report by the Tactical Missile Corporation. The report said that Russian experts have developed a high-precision aviation ammunition, which has the functionality of both a conventional bomb and rockets. The material says that we are talking about a bomb labeled 9-A-7759.

At the moment, the aerial bomb is undergoing flight design tests. At the same time, it is tested in a variety of conditions, including desert conditions, with exposure to dust and sand.

Which aircraft is used as a carrier of the 9-A-7759 rocket bomb? This is a Su-34 front bomber. During the test, eight times the 9-A-7759 was used as a missile with launching, and three times as an aerial bomb.

About the newest ammunition is also known that its guidance is carried out using the GLONASS satellite system - that is, it does not depend in any way on the foreign satellite constellation (first of all - the GPS system).

By the way, the newest bomb can be used not only on Su-34 airplanes. As its carrier it is quite possible to consider, for example, Su-35.

The dimensions of a new type of aviation ammunition are not reported.

Currently developing this weapons engaged, for example, in China. There is no data on the degree of implementation of the missile bomb program in the PRC.

If an air-to-air missile (yes, in principle, any) in flight is simply uncoupled (yes, yes, go out and uncoupled), a free-falling aerial bomb will result.

The reverse does not work out only. In the sense of an air bomb like a missile launch.

[Thrall]

Quote: Vanek

in flight just unhook

If the pilot on the wing climbs to unhook it, then who will control the plane at this time? Yes, and blow it away with a stream of air. And why the bomb with shrapnel. And so the idea is brilliant

It’s not too ingenious (unprofitable) to use air-to-air like a bomb. I think Vanyok was joking.

Nothing specifically said, but it can be judged that there is an engine, steering surfaces and guidance system from the rocket ..., only warheads can be taken from the bomb. It is thought (only thought) that this device, after resetting and turning on the engine, flies into a given zone, namely a zone (this makes it possible not to enter the air defense zone), on a jet draft and not necessarily at some high speed there, just delivery of ammunition to a given the region continues to fall like a bomb in the high-precision version (CAB) ... well, like that. It turns out something like a rocket and essentially a bomb ...

In the early eighties, by the nature of his activities, he was in one of the aviation regiments, with a certain bias of action. Got into the hands, quite by chance, an analysis of the development of aircraft from different states. There was material in it that the Americans were developing an aerial bomb capable of flying 300 km, with an altitude of 3 km. But here, have you developed it?

GBU-39 From what height I do not know, but 100km. With 3km to plan 300km it is necessary to have an aerodynamic quality of 300. The coolest glider is about 25-30 well, a specially trained one may have 50, but this is the limit.

[Vladimir 5]

Under the USSR, during the creation and construction of civil aviation, the possibility of being used as bombers was laid. Syria’s experience has shown that for a particular military theater it’s quite possible to use heavy transports as bombers, especially if modern weapons are created without carriers entering the air defense defeat zones ... And where to bring to the launch line, on an expensive bomber or much more economical transport with a larger load, the answer is unequivocal ...

[andrewkor]

I appreciate your irony! The question is the price of this "gadget" and, accordingly, in relation to efficiency!

[just exp]

here I see that the same product can be equipped with an engine and then this is a rocket. Or maybe not . then this is KAB.
mattresses also have such a topic. like a bomb flies a hundred miles with a penny. and with the engine, the range reaches 450km.

[Snakebyte]

Such a "racukha" has long been invented in the United States, called the JDAM kit. Domestic developers went their own unique way.

In the USA, for the development of the first, single-channel, generation of satellite-guided weapons (JDAM), the principle of creating a universal external “strapping” for conventional unguided bombs of all calibers was chosen ... And this strapping, consisting of a satellite receiver, guidance system and aerodynamic rudders, was enough inexpensive and simple, turning, if necessary, all unguided bombs into managed bombs. But, despite the simplicity and cheapness, it was still an original development embodied in a real "iron" design ...
Unlike US designers, GosNIIAS went its own way and “took as its basis” ready-made, developed by other organizations and being in service, guided aerial bombs and guided laser-guided missiles, and replaced the laser seeker with a satellite receiver, also almost ready and not your own ... Those. Neither aerodynamics, nor strength, nor a control system needed to be developed and developed, only algorithmically and electrically connect the satellite receiver to the existing control system of the existing guided bomb ... Purely - a computer game.
A computer game that turns not cheap unguided bombs into manageable and high-precision, but turns expensive guided bombs into even more expensive, but less accurate, though all-weather (theoretically, because not a single drop was made under difficult weather conditions, just in case )
But the fact is that this did not work either, both in terms of accuracy and cost, the geniuses did not have enough scientific and technical resources and money for salaries and kickbacks.

The cost of the kit is $ 35 for the GBU-38 bomb and $ 70 - for GBU-31

Well, to hell with a cheap upgrade Moreover, as we all understand, this system does not give the slightest opportunity "not to enter the air defense zone", so this is only a system for increasing accuracy. But here the system of "hephaestus" mattresses did as potsan.

You get it wrong. A range of up to 28 km leaves air defense divisions, such as Tor, and at the limit of the range of Buk military systems.
As for Hephaestus, only information from experts (= propagandists) of the Moscow Region is known about him. Which have long earned a reputation for total nonsense.

[Mih1974]

If you turn on the brain you will be happy !! The Hephaestus system has been asking for a long time and only the lag of the hardware slowed it down. Look not at aviation, but at Artillery - nobody shoots there "somewhere there" EVERYONE uses "shooting tables" in which mathematically calculated and verified models of projectile flight are given . What are there tables - more than once it was released as barmalei in Syria put a tablet in which the calculation program to the mortar (staff) BARMALEY TABLET apply "Karl". And now for “Hephaestus” - this is the same electronics with very complex algorithms for the behavior of a free-falling bomb. Yes, there is an error, but I, as an amateur, assume that there are few factors that are not taken into account in the calculations that significantly affect the fall of the FAB-500 . But uh, if you look at what Merikas are doing, then they don’t have any high-precision ammunition. , in fact, these geeks "demolished to the level of rubble" and Rakku and Mossul

[Snakebyte]

Any unguided ammunition will be seriously inferior to the corrected, even if the magical Hephaestus is brought in with perfect accuracy. Can he take into account, for example, drift from different wind speeds at different heights? To accurately get unguided ammunition from a 15-km height into a target at a distance of 20 km?
And "Hephaestus" is only on one type of media, while JDAM can be hung on any drummer. Even on helicopters it clings.

Do not watch domestic propaganda in the morning. Aleppo wasn’t bombed by the Americans, and there was no stone left.

[sivuch]

NYA, Hephaestus is installed on at least 2 carriers - Su-24 and Tu-22M3 and, in principle, can be installed anywhere, even on the An-2.
And what does it mean to hit? There are quite specific CVO figures that unmanaged TSAs will be worse, which is offset by their low cost, which means the quantity

Knowing the features of domestic products, "in principle, anywhere," it turns into "registering the product on each carrier individually for a fee." Read the link that I provided, how the KAB-500S instead of "front-line aircraft" was eventually shoved only onto the Su-34. And it's just a satellite-guided bomb, an analogue of JDAM.

Yeah, as I wrote earlier, instead of destroying a terrorist in a 50-kg toilet with ammunition, we demolish the toilet along with the whole village. And then we scold the Americans for their "barbaric bombing of residential areas." At the same time, in official videos from the Moscow Region, they showed explosions of their bombs among residential buildings, calling it "point strikes."

[sivuch]

Strange, but I read quite positive reviews about the work of Hephaestus. Is it really all polls too?

[Snakebyte]

Who are the reviews from? From test pilots?
I don’t really trust them, they are also interested persons.

In principle, I have nothing against Hephaestus, but in any case he seriously loses in precisely guided ammunition with increasing distance to the target.

[andrewkor]

Universal ammunition for any will lose to specialized ammunition, especially for the price. Missiles or guided bombs are needed against the objects of the covered air defense, and "dumb" free-falling bombs will come down against the "barmaley", but dropped by a command from the satellite, which the Russian aerospace forces used in Syria. The above innovation looks a lot like a budget cut!

[just exp]

vice versa. for guided bombs are much cheaper than missiles.
and even NATO does not have such military air defense as ours. Well, they do not have in the air defense forces that would work out using ASP. and here we have both Thor and the shell (though the army only Thor)

[Blackmokona]

SAM Aanger as an example

and an eugener is a stinger in a jeep.
and even with x-31 missiles how does the stinger work?

[Bad thing]

The basis of the air defense of NATO countries is fighter aircraft cover. Destruction of carriers before reaching the start line (reset). In general, the best air defense system is a tank company on the runway.

Now try to apply this rule to Harop flying at you.

Universalism is achieved in various ways. Including the manufacture of things from standardized parts. For example, when hanging on an airplane, one ammunition is placed as is, and the other with a prefix, making it a rocket. And it is reset first, with the goal of first destroying the anti-aircraft defense, and then, when it becomes possible, it is reset. which is without buttocks.

Seriously??? And it reminds me more of a "block-modular system." It is necessary, for example, on the "barmaley" (which apart from MANPADS and ZU-23 have nothing more serious!) To gasp - take the BOMB using the system (either Hephaestus, or Hermes - I don’t remember) - the bomb definitely !!!
Well, if the enemy in the target area has gotten something “more serious" - a mantle in front of the guidance unit - and here’s the "planning KAB" (aerial bomb) with a flight range of 10-15 km (or maybe more!) .....
Well, if in the target area something more serious (!) - “screw in the back” engine - and on you - something like MLRS “Tornado” (aerial basing!) with a range of somewhere 120-200 km !!! (And even more!) .....
And what? "Cheap and cheerful" !!!

Well, what’s the matter? Such a bomb falls from itself or from a saw file like a bomb and then an opachka, the engine turns on and the soul rushes to paradise. Or vice versa, it flew like a rocket, and then it crashed and began to fall freely.

[sib.ataman]

Apparently we are talking about the universalization and cheapening of aviation weapons. Syrian experience suggests?

[voyaka uh]

We are talking about expensive, but accurate and more long-range weapons.

[Bad thing]

Syrian experience only shows that Hephaestus is good against the Papuans, because for a strike the carrier must pass over the object of attack, the enemy with advanced air defense will not allow such happiness.

[AID.S]

During the tests eight times 9-A-7759 was used as a missile with the implementation of launches, and three times as an air bomb.

Didn’t explode?

she returned to the media

[Santor]

Well, as always ... No one saw, no one heard, no idea, but they already cheated on all sides, spat out and issued a verdict - "cut the budget."

From myself I will add - it will be adopted for service approximately in August of this year.
From the already published materials it follows that the 9-A-7759 product is an aerial bomb with a planning and control module. The complex, which is at the stage of flight tests, is offered in three versions, including a modification with a solid-fuel propulsion system.
Depending on the modification, the starting mass of the complex is estimated at kilograms 500-600. The maximum missile launch range varies within 65-120 kilometers, speed - 500-1200 kilometers per hour. The length of the rocket exceeds 4,1 meters, in diameter - more than 0,3 meters.

An ordinary concrete-bomb aerial bomb. It is detached, detached and accelerated by a solid-fuel rocket engine at the point of transition to a vertical drop. This "innovation" is about 40 years old. I read about it while I was still a dumbass in "Foreign Military Review", in the section where they are about weapons of countries " our "eastern bloc reasoned.

[basmach]

And I studied it at school. There is no sense in a bag serving like a bomb. An engine is less efficient than an explosive charge. And it doesn’t work. Few seconds. Well, replaced with X-29 LGSN or TGSN, received a missile, on the KAB-500 similarly. And how in a joke, they crossed a snake, a hedgehog and a siskin, got 2 meters of flying barbed wire.

[Romario_Argo]

in this innovation, you can put the engine and have a range of 120 km, or you can change to OF / OD warhead, the range will decrease to 30-40 km, and the equivalent will be TWO (!) OFAB-500, with a mass of ~ 500 kg

[Vadim237]

Ours need to create an analogue of the American GBU 39, it weighs only 130 kilograms, the mass of explosives is 93 kilograms, the flight range is 110 kilometers, the EPR is about 0,015 m2

[Romario_Argo]

Our need to create an analogue of the American GBU 39, weighs only 130 pounds

we do not need a direct analogue of GBU-39, there is less warheads there. A - 500 kg just right (!)
at the same time, multifunctionality: 3 types of warheads, increased warheads, 2 ranges, launch into the rear hemisphere. There are no such analogues (!)

launch in the rear hemisphere.

So she caught up with her plane?
In order for the rocket not to be turned at 180 degrees by the oncoming flow, it must be given almost instantly speed greater than the speed of the aircraft. You have to shoot it.
And what you, apparently, mean is a launch as it should be in the front hemisphere followed by a rocket maneuver - a turn by 180 degrees to the target in the back hemisphere laid before launching into the guidance system.
But such a maneuver is needed for an air-to-air missile, but why the hell is it an air-to-ground missile bomb? First, deploy the aircraft “backwards” to a ground target, and then suffer from launching a rocket bomb in the rear hemisphere ?! You are not brought up by the Chinese Komsomol?

[Romario_Argo]

But such a maneuver is needed for an air-to-air missile, but why the hell is it an air-to-ground missile bomb?

it happens differently. these are questions to the Lipetsk Aviation Application Center
for example: after hitting targets that have already been explored, when leaving the strike zone or air defense zone with acceleration and anti-ballistic maneuvers, the radar can still see potential targets, and here it is "just the maneuver"

You are not brought up by the Chinese Komsomol?

[Svateev]

Quote: Romario_Argo

Radar can see more potential targets

In principle, of course, it is better to have such an opportunity in reserve, just in case, albeit a rare case. But only if such an opportunity is simply the result of a well-functioning guidance system that can direct ammunition anywhere in space.
But the slogan "we shoot in the back hemisphere" for an understanding person sounds like: "And we remove the tonsils through the anus."

But only if such an opportunity is simply the result of a well-functioning guidance system

Well, unless the din is the option - we fly "peacefully bombing, we do not touch anyone" here SUDDENLY we are launched in the ass SAM, we - (as soon as we have time) "find" the radish and throw such a tricky bomb into it. It’s not all the same some kind of crap, for starters we need to take it with us, secondly why the hell did we take it with us instead of going in waves and killing those who attack the leader, and the leader should let him down on the afterburner (maybe it will be unscrewed).
