Curious what the approach speed is.

Its got High Altitude Cruise and Dive Approach towards target , during Dive the speed goes greater than Mach 4.
No its Mach 4 , How can approach speed be lower in dive trajectory ?TR1 wrote:Austin wrote:TR1 wrote:Guessing it has a higher flight profile?

But the approach speed (terminal phase) is sub Mach 2 IIRC?

Since they are liquid fuel engine their thrust can be throttled so it uses max thrust to gain altitude , throttles it during cruise and again goes for max thrust during dive.
Thats the advantage of using liquid fuel engine

Air resistance + drag, and no sustainer engine (@ approach).
Kh-22's top speed was @ extreme high alt.

During the dive speed is around Mach 2 at low lvl.
The biggest stick
The Tu-22M does not exist without its
dedicated Kh-22 (AS-4 ‘Kitchen’) missile;
the aircraft is only a means of delivering
the weapon closer to its target. The
Kh-22 (izdeliye D2) was made by the
MKB Raduga design facility at Dubna
near Moscow, originally a branch of the
Mikoyan design bureau.
A delta-wing missile made of welded
titanium and steel alloys, the Kh-22 is
powered by a twin-chamber liquid-fuel
R201-300 rocket. After launch from high
altitude at supersonic speed, the missile
accelerates to Mach 3 and a height of 22-
23km (72,178-75,459ft). When approaching
its target, it dives at an angle of around 30°,
accelerating to a terminal speed of Mach
4.15.
The Kh-22N (niskovysotnaya, lowaltitude)
version introduced together with
the Tu-22M3 may also be launched from
a height as low as 1,000m (3,281ft); in this
case, the missile flies to the target using a
low-level profile.
Two types of guidance may be fitted to
the Kh-22N. The anti-ship Kh-22N version
has an active radar seeker, while the airto-
ground Kh-22NA (A for avtonomnaya,
autonomous) navigates using a Doppler radar
and is designed for destroying stationary
area targets such as airfields, harbors or
industrial facilities.
Since the aircraft was designed for the
requirements of the Cold War, the missile’s
main warhead type is a nuclear charge. For
the ‘autonomous’ version with reduced
homing accuracy, the nuclear charge is the
sole type of warhead available. The more
accurate anti-ship missile can alternatively
be fitted with a 1,984lb (900kg) cumulative/
Its got High Altitude Cruise and Dive Approach towards target , during Dive the speed goes greater than Mach 4.
Compared to the basic machine updated plane got more modern avionics, including the fire control system, ensure precision-guided munitions with laser, infrared and TV guided, new avionics and weapons.
The main weapon modernizrovannogo Tu-22M3 will be a cruise missile X-32 at a speed of more than 4,000 kilometers per hour and a range of up to 1,000 kilometers. opportunity to upgrade Tu-22M3 will effectively use this plane to hit targets throughout Eurasia and the surrounding seas.
At the same time the car will receive great ability to engage ground targets, including point and moving.
Modernization entire fleet of Tu-22M3 should be completed at the beginning of the 2020s.

Yep, the other thread already had its title changed, this one should as well.
