"Russia bets on high speed": Western press on the differences in new anti-ship missiles

84

Relatively recently, there has been a lull in the development of new types of anti-ship cruise missiles. However, there is now a boom in the creation of new samples of this type. weapons... At the same time, different countries have different priorities in the search for a balance between the speed, stealth and maneuverability of missiles.

As noted in the Western press (IISS), only in recent months the Israeli company Rafael presented its Sea Breaker subsonic missile, the European manufacturer MBDA launched work on the Teseo Mk2 / E subsonic missile, South Korea demonstrated a supersonic anti-ship missile system, and Russia conducted the first test launches " Zircon ", capable of moving at a flight speed of more than five Machs - hypersonic. However, new participants are also entering the anti-ship weapons market.



The Israeli company Israel Aerospace Industries is working under the Gabriel V program. Meanwhile, the Roketsan enterprise has completed tests of the first Atmaca anti-ship missile system in Turkey, and the UAE with its Halcon HAS-250 product has begun testing them. All three products will fly in subsonic mode.

However, both Russia and China are developing both subsonic and supersonic anti-ship missiles. As noted in the IISS, the creation of various types of weapons is associated with the specific purpose of the product and, accordingly, its characteristics, namely the choice between the flight speed and stealth of missiles.


Turkish subsonic anti-ship missile system Atmaca


Russia is betting on high speed. Moscow is close to putting into service the 3M22 Zircon hypersonic anti-ship missile system. The United States and Europe have traditionally used subsonic anti-ship missiles, relying on high maneuverability combined with low infrared and radio frequency signatures and salvo attacks to penetrate ship defenses.

- indicated in the publication.

At the same time, in the 1980s, the French and West German industries were working on the Anti-Navire Supersonique supersonic weapons with a flight speed of more than Mach two, but they were curtailed with the end of the Cold War. The new European creation Teseo Mk2 / E will receive only subsonic speed, but in this case the emphasis is on expanding the target detection potential (thanks to dual-mode search technology - through active radar and electro-optical seekers) and ensuring the possibility of striking ground attack targets. Electro-optical finders are also used in the Sea Breaker product from Israel's Rafael.

Thus, in the course of creating new anti-ship missiles, the developer makes a choice between a number of characteristics - speed, stealth, maneuverability and target detection efficiency. For Russia, according to the Western press, the first indicator has become a priority.

                  If hypersound for the CD was considered in the past, then it was not considered for the RCC in the past, and the plug was explained by M. Albright, who had retired. They considered that the times of frontal confrontation had sunk into oblivion and it was not necessary just. And today, aerobalistic and glider hypersound is being developed for the MRBM, but not for the CD or anti-ship missiles. So the cartoons made a completely different impression, especially since they have been embodied so far only in aerobalistics and the glider has been chosen by the ICBM, that in the voiced Quantities and performance characteristics there is also more politics than a real means) and in the Russian Federation.

          Yes, there are no such things at all, only BR under their influence they do not fall apart into pieces. It depends on which ship and which anti-ship missile system. The Americans over there were fucking their old Peri Mk48 with a harpoon to boot, and he didn't want to drown for a long time even after such abuse. Vaughn Bramos is still some serious missile, and it flies into the water with its muzzle under the blow of even non-kinetic air defense.

                  Well, about 50%, except for sources from Runet, not a single Western source speaks, it means just political anti-advertising. Patriot is an air defense complex, its alteration for missile defense is highly specialized and is not sharpened for many of today's goals, but he removes planes well. Therefore, in Israel, for example, they do not even try to buy the latest versions, continuing to modernize the PAC-2 specifically for the air defense mission, for which it is quite good.

                      The conversion of Patripots into a missile defense system today does not meet all current realities and therefore the PAC-3 system does not guarantee the protection of areal objects, only point ones. An attempt to use it to protect such an object as an airport is simply a mistake by the command of the country in question.

                    Patriots and those first used in Israel during the first Iraqi war did not fall into the Scuds either. They were fixed under the Scuds in place, but it turned out that this only made things worse, because the Scud exploded relatively low in the air and covered everything with shrapnel.

Nobody fired at ICBMs fired at the maximum altitude trojectory. On such a sharp parabalistic trajectory, a missile is not fired at the target, it is not a ballistic or flat one, and it is only GBI that can shoot it down on such a "space" trajectory, so it was not intercepted, because there is no need. They shot down PAC-2, and even scuds shot down, although not productively. How air defense is a good complex The last trophy of the PAC-2 was the Su-22, and with one rocket and quickly.

        Even a subsonic anti-ship missile without warhead makes a sickly hole in the ship. A hypersonic piece of anti-ship missiles (if someone accidentally managed to get into it) arranges such a "fire show" that the ship will not seem a little even without explosives. Look at millet even at amerovskie videos on acceleration in a Gauss cannon ("railgun") a piece of iron in 1 kg. And if the rocket weighs 300 kg? The piece that flew to the ship. It will tear like Tuzik a heating pad.

          Can you imagine what happens to the overweight contraption on the ballistic trojectory when it encounters a kinetic interceptor? What does not turn into steam, is scattered into small pieces and at such angles that one can speak of a serious defeat by fragments only in a random combination of circumstances. When an anti-ship missile is flying at an altitude of about 25-27 km, the situation is practically the same, only the trajectory is not ballistic.

              An interceptor does not have to be hypersonic. Example - Barak-8 intercepts BRAMOS, yielding to it in maximum speed on a collision course, due to its high maneuverability. A candidate for adaptation to intercept a hypersonic target will be all the same SM missiles that are intended for naval missile defense. The main adaptation should be in terms of software, allowing the rocket not to go far into the transatmospheric layer, based on a ballistic trajectory, but to continue a gentle flight towards the target at an approach altitude of the anti-ship missile system. Shooting down a hypersonic projectile in a dive at the end with a flank is a rather useless exercise.

                These are illiterate engineers ... It is believed that the speed of the interceptor missile should be at least one and a half times higher than the target missile and the available transverse overload should be at least 2 times higher than that of the target ... , it turns out, the barracks (obams?) shoot down the hypersound, despite the fact that the reaction time of the complex is not enough to launch the missile before the hypersonic "target" smashes its target to pieces.

                      And it never occurred to you that you can't really maneuver at hypersound in 8M, even if it's 27 km in height. You can slightly correct the trajectory, slightly wiggle back and forth, but a lateral overload even in 12G will break the nafik rocket, and for a kinetic interceptor it is up to 20 today.

                        And you just calculate what deflection the rocket will have when changing course by 30 arc seconds within 0,1 seconds. And think about what g-forces and turn rate should be in an anti-missile or gun mount trying to shoot down an anti-ship missile system. By the way, rockets flying at a speed of 4M with an available transverse overload of 60G have long been firmly fixed on the pylons of fighters. That is, part of the issue has been resolved long ago. Even with an overload of 30G, a hypersonic anti-ship missile will easily evade an anti-missile, which has a speed of 3-4M with an available overload of 60G. I'm not even talking about the reaction time of the air defense missile system, which may stupidly not be enough to launch an anti-missile. Incidentally, this is a very serious problem for "our Western partners" at the moment. They sometimes manage to notice a hypersonic target, but they do not have enough speed to shoot at it. Again, do not confuse a maneuvering hypersonic missile with a blank falling along a ballistic trajectory.

                        The numbers that you voiced are the longitudinal overloads that air-to-air missiles and missiles have reached today. And missiles withstanding such lateral overload so far exist only in dreams. With what acceleration the interceptor should compensate for the target's maneuver depends on the distance to the target. In addition, there is little air resistance at 25-27 km, but it is still present in the 4M interceptor and the 8M missile, too? What's wrong with the target serif launched from 500 km and glowing on the radar like a New Year's fireworks? The average speed is not at all 8M throughout the entire section, it is good if 5, i.e. more than enough time to react.

    The Russian Federation and NATO have different tasks and different difficulties in the destruction of ships:
    1. The goal of the Russian Federation is AUG, which will interfere with the deployment of nuclear submarines ... with powerful air defense from air defense systems, Aircraft and AWACS. At the same time, the Russian Federation, in fact, does not have heaps of bases around the world, AUG and cannot get close to the target.
    2. Targets of NATO, Israel - single and not very, ships without AUG and air cover. Hence the approach, plus the unification of the launchers and the missiles themselves, so as not to fence a bunch of launchers on a bunch of ships. And an expanded range of carriers and aircraft and diesel-electric submarines and nuclear submarines and various ships and ground launchers.

      The stake is on stealth, maneuverability and wide possibilities of detection and differentiation of targets. This clearly makes the choice in the direction of a subsonic missile. To this should be added the ratio of the range to the weight of the warhead and to the physical size.

    No domination - supersonic. So that the enemy does not have time to intercept

      He will not have time to intercept only when the distance leads to a lack of time or a massive attack on one target again leads to the same shortage. In all other cases, a supersonic missile is practically cut off, and a hypersonic missile will have advantages for some time, but over time it will also turn out to be vulnerable to kinetic interceptors. Finding both is no problem practically from the start.

      It is unlikely that the range of Hornet can be added to the range of the rocket if we are talking about, for example, the Mediterranean Sea. Already in peacetime, AUG designed to destroy AUG are at the minimum possible distance from the target. So it was under the USSR. Unfortunately, now we can collect less AUG than theirs, but China comes into play ...

      We have Gremlin, Ostrota, Larchinka-MD assumed as hypersonic multifunctional missiles (as anti-ship missiles and anti-ship missiles in one person) airborne. winkYou can also remember the KR X-50, X-69 (X-59MK2).

          Which ones are still under development?


          Uh-huh. At the development stage for more than 10 years. This is me about the Gremlin (GZUR) and the X-50.

          ... According to Pyotr Butovsky in the article "Russian bombers to be armed with new Kh-50 theater-level cruise missile" in Jane's Missiles & Rockets magazine, Russian sources in early December 2017 revealed the designation X-50 for the new Russian aviation operational tactical (sub-strategic) cruise missile. Sources said that the deployment of production of X-50 missiles is planned under the new Russian State Armament Program for 2018-2027 (GPV-2027).


          .Developed by JSC "State Machine-Building Design Bureau" Raduga "named after A. Ya. Bereznyak "in Dubna within the framework of the X-SD (" medium-range ") program, the X-50 missile is presumably a subsonic cruise missile using the guidance system of the Kh-101 strategic cruise missile, but with a smaller, inconspicuous glider similar to the American AGM-158 JASSM rocket. R&D on X-SD began in the early 1990s, but was subsequently suspended for several years.

          The Kh-50 missile, designed to be accommodated in the weapon bays of the Tu-22M3 bombers and the Tu-95MS and Tu-160 strategic bombers, is 6 m long - about 1,5 m less than the Kh-101 missile - and has a mass of about 1600 kg. It is expected that the rocket, equipped with a turbofan engine developed by Omsk Motor-Building Design Bureau (OMKB) "Product 37-04" (or TRDD-50B), will reach a range of more than 1500 km, having a cruising speed of 700 km / h and a maximum speed of 950 km / h.


          The most complete information about the current Russian program of supersonic aircraft weapons was presented by the former Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Air Force, Colonel-General Alexander Zelin in a lecture delivered at a conference of representatives of the aviation industry in Moscow in April 2013. According to Colonel General Zelin, Russia is currently implementing a two-stage program for the development of hypersonic missiles. At the first stage, it is planned to develop by 2020 a "compact operational-tactical aviation missile with a flight range of 1500 km and a speed of Mach 6"; this is the aforementioned GZUR. It should be supplemented in the next decade with weapons with a speed of M = 12, assuming a global range.

    Russia is not betting on high speed, but on the accuracy and inevitability of hitting the target, realizing this by creating hypersonic missiles, from which it is impossible to defend itself. Hypersound without control and targeting does not pose a significant threat to the AUG.

      9 November 2021 14: 31
      There is no inevitability. Accuracy when flying hypersound is pretty relative. And today kinetic interceptors shoot down ICBMs, tomorrow they will shoot down PKT in high-altitude (hypersonic sectors). Finding them is not a problem, and having altitude> 25 km in the hypersonic section of the samop, it is for high-speed interceptions, your C-200 developed up to 6M in the high-altitude interception section.

    Here the determining factor is rather non-obvious at first glance reasons. First, because of the greater economic potential, the size of the fleet and the number of missiles on ships, primarily the United States, can afford to lose more missiles in a salvo. At the same time, to hit the target, they will need fewer missiles due to the smaller displacement of Russian ships. Roughly speaking, the Americans can launch, for example, 16 anti-ship missiles, and achieve the desired result, even losing 14 of them, and we cannot lose more than 8-3 out of 4.
    Secondly, due to the limitations of the size of the missiles used (the maximum missile length is 41 m less than that of the 3S14, the maximum missile diameter is at least 2,5 mm less), the UVP mk.120 does not allow placing in it a supersonic, and even more so, a hypersonic anti-ship missile with no matter how sane the mass of the warhead.
    Thirdly, the absence in the west of the school and experience in creating supersonic anti-ship missiles. Not because of Zadornovskaya "stupidity", but because of the lack of need (see point 1).
    At the same time, talk about stealth and "cleverness" of Western anti-ship missiles is more from the field of propaganda. For example, the USSR successfully resolved the issue of organizing an attack by a "flock" of anti-ship missiles long before they started talking about it in the West. Yes, and the issues of target selection, noise immunity, development, in addition to radar, also IR, laser and other GOS, have been solved for a very long time. The same ancient P-120 had a combined ARL + IR seeker. And as for "stealth missiles", in the case of anti-ship missiles, it is closer to the question of "stealth infantry". A working active radar seeker already completely negates the concept of "stealth", and the antenna even of a disconnected seeker is quite radio noticeable, especially at ranges of anti-anti-ship missiles (exit from the radio horizon 20-25 km from the target). And the "pure" IR seeker is not a panacea, since it is even more susceptible to interference than radar. It can be affected by heavy fog or precipitation, and the use of laser and optical countermeasures, as well as IR-opaque and hot smoke curtains can completely exclude target detection.

      Yeah decided, already tested a flock of two, according to the data that were written here on VO. The West fundamentally does not develop anti-ship missiles and anti-ship missiles supersonic, not because it considers a mass launch as a solution, but because it believes that at a long distance anti-ship missiles and anti-ship missiles have nothing to do with a supersonic engine, and for shorter distances and less maneuverability requirements, their anti-aircraft missiles are suitable as supersonic RCC. A working seeker crosses out stealth only in Murzilka magazine.

One rocket was shot straight over our block already in vertical fall. The explosion flared in air like a cloud. Those who write nonsense about the inefficiency of the Dome on the VO have never seen its work in the eyes, not from the position of an outside observer, but from the position of the target they are flying at. Would have seen at least once, would have greatly changed their mind.

    Well, it's kind of an ambiguous question ..... In the Russian Federation, in addition to the hypersonic "Zircon", there are also subsonic "Uranus" and supersonic "Onyxes" and "Calibers"!

    in the course of creating new anti-ship missiles, the developer makes a choice between a number of characteristics - speed, stealth, maneuverability and target detection efficiency. For Russia, according to the Western press, the first indicator has become a priority.

    In principle, exactly so.
    In Russia, in continuation of the Soviet approach, the emphasis on missile speed, in the West, they proceed from the fact that the main enemy of the anti-ship missile system is electronic warfare and fired traps, therefore, they took the path of complicating the anti-ship missile system.
    The reaction time to the attack is also a different approach.
    The Russian modern approach is to reduce the margin of time due to the high speed of the anti-ship missile system (but at the same time the missile flies at a high altitude), in the West, due to stealth, low flight altitude and stealth at subsonic speed.
