The Ukrainian Navy intends to strengthen the American anti-ship missiles ВGM-176В Griffin

The command of the Naval Forces of Ukraine intends to strengthen the combat potential fleet foreign-made anti-ship missiles. This was reported by the Ukrainian military news agency "ArmiaInform".

Foreign anti-ship missiles will have to strengthen the Ukrainian fleet until the adoption of the naval version of the Ukrainian anti-ship complex "Neptune", which is still under development. We are talking, first of all, about the supply of American anti-ship missiles, which was announced last year.

Against this background, information appeared that the US authorities are considering the possibility of installing on the Mark VI patrol boats, which will be transferred to Ukraine, short-range missile systems, that is, small anti-ship missiles of the BGM-176V Griffin type.

At the same time, the Ukrainian military emphasize that American missiles of the ВGM-176В Griffin "in no case" will compete with the domestic anti-ship missiles "Neptune", since they are "in different niches of combat use."

They have different characteristics and purposes. The Griffin missiles are supposed to protect the coastal zone, and the geography of the Neptune application up to 280 km is the waters of the Azov and Black Seas, including the exclusive (maritime) economic zone of Ukraine

- writes the edition.

For our part, we note that the boat complex with missiles Griffin B has the designation Mk 60 and was developed jointly by Raytheon and the US Navy. The complex, in addition to launchers, includes the FLIR Systems BRITE Star II electronic-optical detection, targeting and illumination system. Rocket length - 110 cm, diameter - 140 mm, rocket weight - 20 kg, warhead - 5,9 kg.

The Ukrainian newspaper writes that the firing range of "Griffins" is 20 km, but in reality this is not the case. When launched from the installation located on the boat, the firing range does not exceed 5,5 km. The rocket can reach a range of 15-20 km when launched from an aircraft carrier, and even then it depends on the altitude of its launch. Initially, this rocket was designed exactly as aviation air-to-surface weapon.

Hindus who speak the language of the Aryan (Indo-Iranian) group of the Indo-European family (Avest. Airya-, Old-Ind. Ārya-, Old-Pers. Ariya-) or simply Aryans (also Indo-Iranians), and for whom such symbolism is part of history - this is excusable, and not even discussed.

But Ukraine, which has known Hitler's boot on itself, must remember about that symbolism, and be aware of their deeds and actions.

The United States makes good money on Russophobia.
While the Ukrainian "Neptune" is brought to mind and working condition (which Russia sincerely does not want), the United States will earn millions, and perhaps billions, on the supply of military products, even if they are outdated long ago, to Ukraine.
If such "powerful economies" of the former Baltic republics allow themselves to buy a variety of American weapons, Ukraine, as a larger fragment of the USSR and an industrially developed entity, will be imposed until recently even more extensive purchases of overseas weapons.
Ukraine was a rich republic (at the expense of the Union) and came out of it secured, and since there is money for American products, it means this is not the last purchase.

[Prisoner]

What kind of money? They will steam the mattress toppers into debt, a semi-finished product, and then, together with the liver, this debt will be extended. "Buyers" do not care, they will not pay, but "independent" Ukrainian people with their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Yes, Russia does not care. "Neptune", these are missiles of the last century and in our time, are knocked down with a "stick". Moreover, things will not go further than loud statements from Ukraine. Ukraine is not a country to be afraid of. Fear, yes, but only its inadequacy, remembering about the "monkey with a grenade."

The range of 5.5 km will definitely allow the ruin to become the ruler of the seas.

A naval variant, it was developed for the American Littorial Combat Ships.
With a range of 15 km.
This is not much, but in terms of guidance systems, the missile is very modern.

????????

[voyaka uh]

"The Sea Griffin will use a dual-mode seeker with an imaging infrared seeker and semi-active laser guidance, and a data-link to track multiple threats simultaneously and give it a fire-and-forget capability."
What is imaging infrared seeker do you know?
IR video camera in the GOS.

[Lopatov]

This is all very interesting ...
However, the Sea Griffin remained a project, the fleet in the 14th year preferred the "Helfair Longbow"

Therefore, the "very modern in guidance systems" rocket ВGM-176B Griffin B (Block II) is, in fact, an analogue of the good old "Helfair K" at the end of the last century with a semi-active LGSN and an autopilot with correction for ZHPS

[voyaka uh]

Sea Griffin has been renamed Griffin C. And it is in production for customers.
A C-variant is currently in production and will feature dual-mode guidance and Griffin C-ER aims to extend the range of the missile "

Sea Griffin renamed to Griffin C. And it's in production

Only the developers themselves do not know about this ...

He's not "in production." For it will be produced only IF there are customers. Which anti-boat missile at this price does not need at all

But nevertheless it is so, lyrics.

to strengthen the combat potential of the fleet with foreign-made anti-ship missiles.

Strengthen the combat potential of the fleet, building cloisets along the coast can. Then we definitely won't go there.

[Magic archer]

Where does the money come from, Zin)) ?! And 5,5 km is not even serious. Now the ATGM has a greater range.

[donavi49]

Why not seriously, in butting with the PSKR in the Sea of ​​Azov, what kind of thread Grif can bang. Here, for example, you can put 4-8 of these anti-ship missiles. And use in close maneuvering with the Coast Guard.

Islands, and any rigid boat that will take 150 kg of cargo (combat post + illumination / detection station + launcher) - is able to shoot at its own control center.

This is for Svidomo .... zrada / peremoga, figs you will understand what it is.

When launched from the installation located on the boat, the firing range does not exceed 5,5 km.

The boat is not intended for combat, it is intended to catch poachers and drug smugglers.

Essentially ATGM, but it is useful for our patrol ships to have one.

But whether they entered the fleet or not, I do not know, for that it is known that it was Osami who annoyed boats at 08.08 08 multi-ton Malachite turned out to be not very successful against small sizes, and a schyas like a vertical Kenzhik (a dagger, a land version of Thor and the heir to the Wasp) steers on the sides

[Eug]

According to its characteristics, the Griffin resembles a long-range ATGM. Ukraine has its own ATGMs developed by KKB Luch. In my opinion, it would be wiser to try to make a simple guidance system for them. Or does the "big brother" require money?

[donavi49]

In fact, this is it, it's just that the warhead is made a little differently + the GOS, and not the guidance.

Created by the Americans to optimize the costs of waging local wars and "stabilization operations"

[3danimal]

To do it quickly and "on the knee" will not work.

[Eug]

Even if you try to "cross" the GOS "Neptune" and the existing ATGM guidance and control system? Despite the fact that these are developments of one design bureau ...

[3danimal]

If we take into account the relationship of the rocket with the X-35, the GOS "Neptune" weighs 40-47 kg (and the whole Griffin is half as light). Reducing it several times is not a trivial task at all. Few have an analogue of the Longbow Hellfire.

This symbolism was revered in antiquity by all Slavic peoples, both eastern, western and southern, and not only Slavic, but also Middle Eastern, Germanic, Finno-Ugric and many others, if that is not even discussed.

Why in ancient times?
Specifically, the cross from the Ukrainian flag is a Christian cross, varieties of which are used in many Christian countries.

Initially, this missile was designed specifically as an air-to-surface aircraft weapon.

Both initially and in the past, this is an air-to-surface missile, surface-to-surface, not an anti-ship missile. Moreover, it is not designed for anti-ship defense. Designed specifically for drones. The author where you copied the text?

[3danimal]

When launched from the installation located on the boat, the firing range does not exceed 5,5 km. The missile can reach a range of 15-20 km when launched from an aircraft carrier

Because we are talking about different modifications.

The new seeker and an extended-range rocket motor, which will add 9.1 kg, will increase the range of the Sea Griffin to 15 km

[Escobar]

Rocket length - 110 cm, diameter - 140 mm, rocket weight - 20 kg, warhead - 5,9 kg.

and it is not too pretentious with such characteristics to call them RCC? They can damage the maximum MRK, and with a launch range of 20 km maximum, this is pure suicide.
