Defense Ministry will upgrade the "Caliber"

The Russian military has decided to upgrade the Caliber cruise missiles that entered service in 2013, according to News.

Soon the Defense Ministry will order work on the modernization, maintenance and extension of the service life of the 3М-14 ("Caliber-NK") and 3М-54 ("Caliber-ПЛ") missiles.

The finalization of the products will be completed in 2019, the transaction value will exceed 40 million rubles.

The 3М-14 is intended for the destruction of ground objects (command posts of troops, depots of armaments, etc.), and the ЗМ-54 - for the destruction of ships (a small number of such missiles were purchased).

Recall that in October 2015 of the year “Calibers” were first used for real purposes. Then, from the Caspian Sea, 26 missiles were launched against 11 terrorist objects in Syria.

According to military expert Anton Lavrov, the modernization of missiles is associated with an increase in their accuracy - the closer it falls to the target, the greater the devastating effect. That is, upgrading will make the Caliber a more powerful means of destruction without increasing the mass of the product itself.

Of course, without an update of the rocket software there is hardly any cost, the expert added.

In the United States, modernization of Tomahawk cruise missiles has been repeatedly carried out. Recent improvements, according to press reports, were made last year. According to the information, after the revision, the American CDs should have had the opportunity to hit moving objects and even “hang” for some time in the air, waiting for the targets to appear and the order to destroy them.

Considering which parsley is now in the White House, plus allies like Armenia, who do not like our military bases, a return to the truth that our best allies is the army and navy is the only right way ...

[Lord of the Sith]

Perhaps they will take something from the downed Tomahawks.

"Caliber" ZM-14E

[Going]

Surely, it would be foolish not to use it.

[maxim947]

What can be taken there besides the nameplate) taking into account the fact that the caliber is superior to the axes in terms of performance. Judging by the amount of funds allocated, we are talking about the modernization of the management system, etc.

[Going]

I’m not a specialist, I can’t judge, but as a person who has lived for many years, I know that the experience of others must be used - the specialists know better.

[drunkram]

The point is rather in the culture in the production of the Kyrgyz Republic rather than in the Kyrgyz Republic itself and its characteristics. For example, the Americans can spy on a more successful layout of the "filling" which can lead to such nishtyachki, such as cheaper or faster production of CD, well, for example

the “ax” has a different control system. To take something from her, you need to redraw your

Interestingly, does this mean that all kinds of anti-submarine versions of the caliber type 91RTE2 have never been bought?

One video on the Internet walks, on which Admiral Gorshkov is just the same anti-submarine missile and shoots

[Fungus]

You need to upgrade missiles in any way

To be honest, it has NEVER even been mentioned at least about the use of these variants of missiles in exercises. You can’t even say whether the anti-ship with a supersonic stage was purchased

[Wiruz]

Supersonic anti-ship missiles were bought, they even shot it. Well, at least once.

[Chicha squad]

Maybe it was a P-800?

[Wiruz]

They have completely different types of start. Onyx has a mortar, Caliber has a classic "hot". Plus, some minds say that the "universal" 3S-14 launcher on pr.11356 and pr.21631 is not "universal" enough to shoot Onyxes

[Chicha squad]

Onyx and Caliber have a solid-fuel starting engine that separates after the rocket enters the trajectory of the further flight. At least watch a video on YouTube.

[Wiruz]

You at least watch the video on YouTube.

Actually, I wanted to offer you the same thing.
This is how Onyx starts

And here's how Caliber

Is the difference at startup noticeable? And apparently, by the way, the differences in the missiles are visible. Onyx has a streamlined head; Caliber 3M54 has a sharp head.

[Chicha squad]

What's the difference when starting up? I personally have not noticed. And at that and at that at start-up the solid-fuel engine fires which throws the rocket out of the launch container, which after some time falls into the water, then the rocket flies already on its engine, they have different engines, because the P-800 is a supersonic missile, and the Caliber subsonic. What do you say that Onyx has a streamlined head part, but you didn’t notice how she immediately after launch shot off the protective cap that protects the air intake of the direct-flow rocket engine? I did not notice that Caliber’s nose is sharp, because there is a guidance head there. You just talked about the mortar launch, but this does not apply to these missiles, for example, the Fort air defense system fires at the mortar.
P-800 without nose guard

[Wiruz]

The Caliber 3M54 also has a GOS, but nevertheless the nose is pointed, out there, it is clearly visible in the photo, and there is no nose cap there. In Onyx, the fairing is shot back after the "turn" of the rocket towards the target, and in the photo the rocket just left the mine.
Well, on launches ... Onyx's first stage stupidly throws the rocket vertically up, where it turns to the target parallel to the ground and shoots the head fairing and the launch stage itself. The caliber, on its starting engine, lies down on the target, turns around where it needs to, flies the normal distance (almost a kilometer, as it seems to me, I can be mistaken), and only then the main engine is turned on with a preliminary shot of the starting one.

[Chicha squad]

You confused me very much.
3M54 is an anti-ship missile

She ended with a sharp nose, because she needs to go deeper into a ship and then explode to cause maximum damage. Of course, she doesn’t have a nose cap, why should she, because this is a subsonic missile, she does not have a ram engine.
In the video that you show about Caliber, they shot a 3M-14 missile there, this is a missile to strike at ground targets, because it was in Syria, there they shot at ground targets
3M-14 missile for ground targets

There is another version of the caliber anti-submarine missile (torpedo missile), called 91P

All these missiles are the entire Caliber family of missiles.
And you are so surprised that Caliber and Onyx start differently or somehow fly differently, of course, because these are different missiles with different tasks.
P-800 Onyx aka Yakhont aka Bramos (modified for the needs of the Indian Navy), this is a supersonic anti-ship missile

Hopefully available explained.

[Wiruz]

There was no need to go into details, I know all this very well. The 3M54 and 3M14 caliber rockets will start the same way, I don’t know about the PLUR. After all, the anti-ship Caliber becomes supersonic only at the final stage of flight, on the march - continuous subsonic. And in the photo, as I said, it is in the photo that the head of the launched rocket is sharp, which means that it is either 3M54 or PLUR (very unlikely)

[Chicha squad]

Why are you stuck that it is sharp then? Normal semicircular.
From what sources did you get that the anti-ship Caliber becomes at some stage supersonic? Who told you that? Does she have an afterburner in the engine? The rocket is already so small. Show me at least one video with the launch of 3M54, where you are sure that this is it.
About the 91P, there are rumors that it exists only in the form of a layout

RCC accurately fired. It’s as if they are still exporting (the export range has been reduced, and everything else is “native”)

Best the enemy of the good. And what is the navigational error of the applied Gauges "too large?"

well ... we’d still fly on airships and shoot from muskets like that ... if not from bows)

who will tell us? Moreover, it should be understood that the words "improving accuracy" may mean completely different things - for example, setting the GOS (yes even optics), for intelligent target recognition and the ability to beat low-speed targets

[mashinist]

hooh so they technology from those downed axes could take！
and on the other hand, our “new” missiles borrowed something from the old axes？ what is new for us ？？
yeah our still have to catch up ...

Judging by the flag, are you talking about the USA? Well then, catch up.

[Chicha squad]

Well, there were not only Axes, but also Scalp.

[mashinist]

you think beat novie？

[Zomanus]

Change control units and firmware.
Thus contributing to the development of the defense industry.
We’ll see the work of these missiles soon and more than once.

Now I’ll try to find a video of training launches in the Caspian. There you can clearly see that the sharp-nosed rocket flies out. This is the first. Second: 3M54 has exactly the same principle as 3M54E, or rather, vice versa. There are three stages: launch, marching subsonic and third supersonic. Only numbers differ. If the data on 3M54E are known - it is 200 km at a dial-up and 20 km at a speed of Mach 2,9 (in total there are 220 km of range), then the flight range of 3M54 is unknown. Some call the figure 350-375 km, others 440-660 km. But the essence is the same.
And if you think that the Caliber is completely supersonic, then I will answer you with your own words - "The rocket is already so small." It is too light, unless of course there is no use of unicorn urine instead of kerosene.

[Wiruz]

Here, I found it. Pay attention to 47 seconds

[Mimoprohodil]

Chicha squad,
There is so much information on the Internet about the two-stage scheme of the 3M-54E rocket.

that is, in the final section (when the GOS captured the target), the third stage is shot back and develops about 3 Machs. And so yes, the missile is subsonic, the entire marching section flies at high sound. That is why RCC (or rather, including because) carries a lower warhead mass and flies closer.
Here is the 3M-54 (anti-ship) with a supersonic stage:

Dmitry. The 3M-54 and 3M-54E missile are both three-stage with a supersonic third stage. And it is she in your photo. A two-stage rocket has an index of 3M-54-1 or 3M-54E1. Its appearance is the same as that of 3M-14

This is 3M-54


This is 3M-54-1


And this is 3M-14
