South Korea showed a new air-launched anti-ship missile

South Korea for the first time presented the appearance of the latest supersonic anti-ship missile designed to arm the promising KF-X fighter. It is reported by Naval News.

According to the newspaper, the new 400 mm anti-ship missile system equipped with an air-jet engine will be able to hit targets at a distance of up to 500 km. The missile is being developed by the South Korean company LIG Nex1 and the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) of the Ministry of Defense of the republic.

The characteristics of the new anti-ship missile were not disclosed, it is reported that the flight tests of the new ammunition are scheduled for 2026, and the adoption into service at the end of this decade. The rocket is intended for the promising KF-X fighter, the development of which should be completed by 2026.

The newest fighter in South Korea is positioned as a generation 4,5 aircraft. It should surpass the fourth generation fighters in its capabilities, but at the same time it should not be the fifth generation aircraft.

Earlier, KAI said that the rollout of the first flight prototype of the KF-X fighter is scheduled for April 2021. The first flight of the prototype fighter is planned for 2022, serial production - 2026.

From the point of view of aerodynamic configuration, it is almost a complete "copy" of the American F-22, but a little smaller. It is planned to install two General Electric F414 engines. The maximum take-off weight is 25,4 tons. Speed ​​- up to Mach 1,9. 10 suspension points for rockets, bombs and various overhead containers.

the main thing is which head is there. Engines and stuff are not a problem.

[Voltsky]

50-150 kg, depending on the equipment, for striking the wheelhouse should be enough to disable the ship

How to say.
It seems like the South Koreans have achieved a lot in economic development, and they plan to install engines from General Electric.
This is about the same as with Turkish drones - the Turks were proud of them and apparently thought that successes in the war with Karabakh would bring them great profits from the sale of drones around the world, but it only turned out that, in particular, they stopped supplying engines from abroad and here the Turkish dream has turned into zilch.
This is what it means when a product comes with other people's components. Russia has repeatedly stepped on this rake and is now trying to implement import substitution with titanic efforts. So foreign engines are still a problem.

For the Turks, this became a problem when some people wanted to become a sultan. Koreans have no such problem.

Well, maybe we got off, I didn't follow much. Are they already getting the engines?

Well that is their own and Chinese are still interrupted. OK.

Not yet.

And why should she be?

And why should she be?

For example, after the end of WWII, the Dokdo Islands began to belong to South Korea, but Japan considers them occupied (roughly as in relation to the Kuril Islands) and makes claims to South Korea for the right of ownership.

Should there be any confusion between the Koreans and the Japanese, both of them will use all their arsenals of weapons, which, by coincidence, are either 100% created by the United States or have a fairly large package from the United States.

That is why such literate and pragmatic Yankees impose their military-industrial complex products, and not only, on foreign "partners", so that they are either 100% dependent on them or in such dependence that did not allow them to act independently enough and limited their actions.

[ironic]

And without the United States, do you well imagine the war between Japan and Korea? I will not take a fool without a good puff.

Nothing lasts forever under the moon, and neither does the United States.
Quit smoking dope and go out into the street to ventilate your brains, maybe after that remember that Japan had previously seized both Korea and China and part of the Russian Far East, and the United States was not ordered by them.

[ironic]

When my grandmother was young, do you know what cool things she wore? Now they don't wear them, but what's worse, they don't. History does not repeat itself, it is homeomorphic at certain stages to certain events of the past, but that's all.
So in your historical analogies without foolishness today it is impossible to cover, even if it is aired on the street.

[Anton Shtopany]

But then, as they blasted them for 1905, there is still a howl, so neither one nor the other will ask for trouble.

It is not the first time there that the president is corrupted, then the Samsung people ... there are such subtle hints that economic success is punishable.

Korea has the most effective system in terms of preventing this from happening. There, even for a second term, it is forbidden to be re-elected, and responsibility before the court for the outgoing president has become a good tradition.

[mvg]

It's about the same as with Turkish drones.

This is not at all true. Turbojet engines for aviation, especially military, are made by 5-6 countries. USA, France, UK, Russia and China. Japan, Germany and Ukraine can do ... this is the elite.
For the Bayraktar, Canada makes diesel people ... it's a completely different flight of a bird. The Turks will completely replace the entot unit.

We started before the USSR because received the technology directly from Germany, the USSR through an intermediary, England, Rolls-Royce Nene.

And we have the same thing while the bombardier was giving the internal combustion engine, everything was ok, then there were sanctions and work with the UAV got up, it's like the most important internal combustion engine and body in the car

We are also developing something similar for the Su-57. A year ago, information on anti-ship missiles for the Su-57 passed.

.MOSCOW, February 23. / TASS /. A small-sized internal-fuselage hypersonic missile was developed for the Russian fifth-generation fighter Su-57, and a prototype of the ammunition was created. Sources in the military-industrial complex told TASS on Sunday.


"The enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex have created a prototype of a small-sized hypersonic air-to-surface missile for intra-fuselage placement on the Su-57 fighter," said one of the agency's interlocutors.

Another source confirmed the creation of a prototype and clarified that "the rocket has not yet been tested together with the carrier aircraft." The interlocutors did not disclose the characteristics of the latest ammunition.

Just the same engines are a problem, and their heads are given because of the ocean and are illuminated from space, too.

but the problem is to fit the weight and dimensions

[Mountain shooter]

Taking into account the pragmatism of the Koreans, it can turn out quite a rocket ... Only against whom? Against the DPRK? So Seoul is within reach of the MLRS. Anti-ship missiles are of little help there.

[Voltsky]

we live in a very quiet time, + the rocket for export can go up to 300 km

[Orange bigg]

Against China, the DPRK and possibly even Japan, they have some sort of graters on the islands. China and Japan have strong navies.

[Anton Shtopany]

China will swat Korea like a fly in less than a day, everyone knows this, and therefore they feed the bases of the overseas owner so as not to experience the wrath of communism

[Lipchanin]

Aerodynamically speaking, it is almost a complete "copy" of the American F-22, but slightly smaller.

It looks like they, like China, made their "printer"

[rocket757]

promising ... I guess.

[OgnennyiKotik]

At least half a year ago, assembly began.

[rocket757]

the process is not fast, even if you don't take an example from "disco dancers".

[Orange bigg]

It's cool for the South Koreans KAI, for the Turks TAI the name of the aircraft building firms. South Korea has a 5th generation fighter KF-X, the Turks have TF-X. In fact, the differences in the names are only K instead of T. Yes, and if you look closely at the performance characteristics and the design of the KF- X and TF-X, the question arises and not the same machine. The Turks have already copied the tank from the Koreans, calling it Altai.

[Emil mamedoff]

They do a lot of things together, just silently.

[Orange bigg]

Here it is. It's not only friendship with Pakistan that helps the Turks.

[OgnennyiKotik]

Friendship with Britain helps more. Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Qatar, Britain are Turkey's closest allies. Italy, Malaysia, Indonesia, Algeria, Tunisia, South Korea are on very good terms.
It is very likely that Turkey and Korea are jointly developing weapons.

[Dodikson]

and the Indians, together with the Russians, developed FGFA.

[Emil mamedoff]

OgnennyiKotik You are almost right.
The reality is as follows - Britain, Turkey, Italy, Pakistan, Qatar, Indonesia, Azerbaijan.
But Algeria (and Egypt) will never be among them, I can say this for all 101%. They are the counterbalance and allies of the opponents.

[OgnennyiKotik]

Tunisia more.
Turkey is doing well with Algeria. The situation in Libya has brought them closer. Gradually they will begin to draw closer together.

[Anton Shtopany]

Beautiful, and most importantly, not one thing in the troops ...

[Dodikson]

and what did the Turks do?
the fact that they bought a black panther and thunder, calling them Altai and Firtina, we know, as well as the fact that Turkish anti-ship missile systems and air defense systems are American harpoons and stinger, and Turkish attacks are Italian mongoose. and everything else too.

[Magic archer]

Your tank, your plane. The military industry of Korea is developing at giant strides. I forgot, they create their own navy! Plus the samples are very competitive.

[mvg]

I forgot, they create their own navy!

We would have such a fleet, even in the next 10 years, which the Republic of Kazakhstan has ALREADY created. Destroyers King Sejun and promising UDC and diesel-electric submarines.

[Asad]

They are building a Star with us with the Chinese.

[Anton Shtopany]

Well, let's be honest, they are changing overseas technology, Koreans started cars like this with TVs, so don't exaggerate

[sergo1914]

I think they are planning to shoot at ships from an airplane.

[Anton Shtopany]

I think the boats have more air defense and the destroyer will have enough air defense to repel the missile and shoot down the launcher

[yehat2]

this is a rocket to the duck. For peaceful hunting.
