"Will become a nightmare for China": In the United States revealed the range of the developed hypersonic missile LRHW

The American Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) hypersonic missile, developed in the interests of the US Army, will be able to hit targets at a range of 2775 kilometers. This is reported by Breaking Defense with reference to a statement by a Pentagon spokesman.

The publication writes that the Pentagon for the first time revealed the range of use of the latest ground-based medium-range hypersonic missile Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW), announcing 2775 km. At the same time, the military does not exclude that in reality the range may be even greater. It is also stated that the Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) hypersonic missile being developed for the Virginia-class submarine will have approximately the same range.

Previously, experts assumed that the range of destruction of the new weapons will be 3-4 thousand kilometers.

It is planned that both the land-based LRHW and the naval CPS, located in the Asia-Pacific region, where they were originally planned to be located, will become a "nightmare" for China. At the same time, the Pentagon does not exclude that, in addition to the deployment of missiles on the territory of Japan and South Korea, ground installations can also be deployed in Taiwan, but this is still only the dreams of the Americans.

The Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) is a versatile solid-propellant medium-range ballistic missile designed for ground-based deployment. The missile is equipped with the Common Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB) universal guided maneuverable gliding hypersonic warhead. Missiles with blocks are placed on a two-container installation, towed by an Oshkosh M983A4 (8x8) tractor. The first missile battery is scheduled to enter service with the US Army in 2023.

That if China demands its money from the United States, then it will definitely "become a kashmare" but only for the United States. As if the Americans did not break the navel. China is not Europe. Pin is not Merkel.

[hrych]

The United States forgives everyone their debt. And, as always, the Americans with missiles are in a hurry to overestimate the figures, ours, on the contrary, are becoming impoverished. I was especially pleased with the figure of 2775 km and not a cent more And what is not 3000

1,5 nautical miles. So you like it, rounder?

1,5 nautical miles is 2,78 km
Then there are 1500 nautical miles, which are equal to 2778 km. 3 km does not beat The Virginia nuclear submarine has a launcher for the Tomahawk. The tomahawk is subsonic and the maximum that can be squeezed out of them is 2,5 thousand km. Neither supersonic nor hypersonic, will never be long-range in such dimensions. The experience of the Russian supersonic ones says the opposite. A supersonic missile is always larger and has a shorter range. Hypersound is no exception. There, in the launcher, you can shove SM solid-propellant missiles, but they have a range of, well, 300 km. Let it be 400 maximum.

[Barberry25]

Well, then it will be a very mediocre missile on warhead ... By the way ... in any case, our missilemen will say thank you, because as Putin said, we will not deploy missiles until the United States places them, therefore, as soon as they deploy the first division, ours will receive every right to start deploying new divisions of Bastions with zircons

[hrych]

Quote: Barberry25

warhead mediocre missile

A small nuclear charge, in principle, is not bad and 150 kg can be kept within. In any case, it will be necessary to increase the mass of the warhead (opposite the kinetic interceptor, which the BB or the satellite (on a collision course) runs on, where the main one is the energy of the BB / satellite itself), which means that the range will also fall. They already have Mark41 launchers in Romania, supposedly for anti-missiles. Will be in Poland as well. There they can already put a Tomahawk and this, a promising ballistic missile based on standard missiles. This is how to deceive us. Let's extinguish them with Iskanders and Zircons. Onyx from Bastion's mobile PU flies, and Zircon is completely unified. Let's see when it will be tested at the maximum range.

[Barberry25]

1) The warhead there is rumored to be only 115 kg ... or anti-aircraft ... but even if we assume that the warhead there will be 200 kg ... although this is unlikely ... no one will make them nuclear ... because in that case they get similar ones from enemies + in case of the slightest boil in 4 minutes they will receive a massive nuclear strike ... and this strike will not be able to devalue adult missiles ... weaken, but not destroy ..

Where to put the Aegis in the PU for the Tomahawk? What does Virginia have to do with it?

The Virginias have 6 weapon bays. They now have 6-7 Tomahawks.
There is an option instead of installing a new SM-6 Block IB in the strike and / or air defense version, it has a range of, presumably, 700-1000 km.
It is also planned to install the MRBM, which is mentioned in the article.

With what warhead is this possible? Obviously not with a high-explosive (the rocket is small and does not have a warhead in the version of the SAM). But in the version of the anti-ship missile, such a missile even with a range of 400 km. will be a serious argument.

[Avior]

The tomahawk flies at extremely low altitudes, so fuel consumption is high.

[hrych]

Quote: Avior

The tomahawk flies at extremely low altitudes, so fuel consumption is high

That is why it is subsonic, and the drive is more compact and economical. Works in an economical cruising mode. As an aviator, you know about the afterburner, where supersonic speed is achieved through loss of efficiency, an engine that is more resistant to loads is required, which increases weight, etc. Therefore, none of our supersonic anti-aircraft missiles looks compact and cannot fit into the TA 533.

[Avior]

in Virginias, in addition to torpedo tubes, there are vertical launchers.
and at high altitudes, fuel consumption is much lower.
Let's see what their plans come out of.

[hrych]

Here's the problem. The same altitude must be gained by spending fuel and energy. Acceleration from zero to supersonic in the troposphere and acceleration to hypersonic in the stratosphere. Further, okay, you can spend little fuel and generally fly far by inertia. But in the case of nuclear submarines, after all, you need an underwater launch mechanism, when it was thrown out of the water, you need a turbojet engine of the accelerator, before turning on the ramjet engine. The accelerator is again larger than that of the subsonic CR. Those. still take away the limited space in the PU. The dimensions of Onyx are the most compact supersonic anti-ship missiles on the planet. We were able to cram it into 8 meters in length, but still remained fat at 70 cm. In TA 650 a little bit, but did not fit. Granites, Volcanoes and Basalts are 2-3 meters long and about a meter in diameter. And the range is 1000 km, as the limit of supersonic anti-ship missiles. No, here the American guys, who have no experience in the production of supersonic anti-ship missiles at all, declare a range of 3 thousand, with dimensions like a slender Tomahawk. We believe, but every other time.

[Avior]

just see what happens ....

[Maikcg]

They are writing a medium-range ballistic missile with a hypersonic maneuvering unit. In general, the entire body of the rocket, which crawls into the hatchet compartment, will carry the block into space, where the speed is "hypersonic", then a small block (and not 300 kg of warheads like Onyx's) falls by taxiing at the terminal section. Profit! Almost did not lie.

[hrych]

Quote: MaikCG

They are writing a medium-range ballistic missile with a hypersonic maneuvering unit.

My colleague and I speculated about the dimensions of the Tomahawk and supersonic anti-ship missiles. Ballistic missiles of this size fly even shorter. Space is an unfortunate 100 km, throwing a low-power anti-aircraft unit to such a height is not a great achievement. Well, SM-3 allegedly hit (met) the target at an altitude of 240 km. With such a height, well, place it at 45 degrees and the rocket will fly away no further than 500 km, if this is not the first space speed Why do we need Elon Musk then? ... But flying 3 thousand kilometers is different. See the Pershing 2 rocket with a range of 1770 km. Estimate its dimensions (at least 10 meters long and a meter in diameter), realize that no revolutionary discoveries in the field of rocketry have happened since then, and try to shove it into Virginia with a PU under the Tomahawk 6 meters long. All Virginia has a maximum diameter of 10 meters. Turning Virginia into an SSBN is certainly a good idea, given the decrepit Ohio. But its RPL is unlikely to reach medium range at all. Short range from 500 to 1000 km is more realistic.

[Zaurbek]

He flies in different ways ..... somewhere high, somewhere on the way to the target is low and bypasses the air defense zone.

[Avior]

The tomahawk flies at low altitudes along the entire route

[Zaurbek]

What for? so the range decreases ...

[Avior]

High stealth and suddenness of the strike, besides, their navigation system initially works with corrections for reference points on the earth's surface, the satellite one was later added.

[Zaurbek]

Now both the satellite and the inertial ...

[Avior]

then there was also an inertial system with correction for the surface relief and an optical guidance system at the final site to ensure high accuracy, the satellite was simply added without removing the rest
low altitude allows you to strike deep in enemy defenses with a high probability of defeat due to surprise, secrecy, and short detection range ..

Teach materiel.
Virginia has such a thing as the Virginia Payload Module.
It is a multipurpose rocket module with a variety of manning options.
Yes, now the module mainly uses a mine nozzle for 7 units of Tomahawks.
But since the module is designed to be universal, other missiles can also be placed in the mine glass. With other sizes, tasks and characteristics ..
The module was designed by 2013.
In 2016, it passed all the tests.

About China. Banning Chinese goods from being sold in the West, and the Chinese dragon will have to shrink to a snake and start anew to hunt for sparrows.

[Zaurbek]

The scheme without made in China already works badly:
1. To create and produce within developed countries is no longer profitable (even in the Russian Federation)
2. For a more or less complex product, you need personnel, you can't find them right away. Consumer goods are already being sewn in Vietnam and nearby.
3. China is already working for itself, having mastered the technology .... And they themselves are becoming the center of development.

[Esoteric]

By the way, it is of much better quality than in China. An order of magnitude. The Vietnamese are great.

[Zaurbek]

There is a lot on what depends. And iPhones and Samsungs could not transfer to India ...

[Esoteric]

Now the quality has become very poor. Here, for example, there is a Yamaha receiver (amplifier), bought already in 2007. Heavy bandura, weighing 5 kg. It still works like a clock. I took it for a very high price, at that time. Japanese assembly.

[paul3390]

Banning Chinese goods from being sold in the West, and the Chinese dragon will have to shrink to a snake, and start anew to hunt for sparrows.

China has already reached such a level of prosperity that it may well switch industry to the domestic market. Having one and a half billion consumers is quite real. Moreover, the dollars they receive now still cannot be purchased, a significant part of the proceeds has to be given back to the West as a loan. Which he is a clear stump - he will never give up. And - is it meaningful for China to endlessly work for an uncle for nothing?

Recently, information leaked that a Taiwanese company began to transfer production from China to Southeast Asia. As a result, in six months the company fulfills 70% of Russian orders for sophisticated equipment (which the Chinese do not sell analogues). Its main products, power supplies, which are actually manufactured in Indonesia, are inferior to purely Chinese ones in terms of noise immunity. At a price in Russia, a 4-amp Chinese block is cheaper than a 2,5-amp Taiwanese one made in Indonesia. In the PRC, this block is 4 times cheaper than in Russia in bulk, at retail on an alibaba 2 times.

[tralflot1832]

They scared the Chinese dragon. First, let the microcircuits be checked. Taiwanese electronics may have already taken an oath of allegiance to the CCP. How many Taiwanese have already learned from them, hundreds of thousands. Really, the United States has sunk to children's scarecrows!

In the 2018/2019 academic year, of the 1,1 million international students studying in the United States, almost 370 thousand (that is, about a third) came from China. The closest persecutor - India - lags behind in this indicator by almost 170 thousand souls. For comparison, there were about five thousand students from Russia - the authorities of which, as any American knows, constantly send their agents to the United States.
