Russian Cruise Missiles Thread

  Comment by bmpd. It can be assumed that a promising operational tactical hypersonic missile was tested from a Tu-22M3 aircraft, which, according to Western sources, is being created jointly by the head company of Tactical Missile Corporation Corporation in Korolev and GosMKB Raduga in Dubna as part of the program "Hypersonic guided missile" (GZUR).

   The Western press reported that GZUR is a missile with a speed of M = 6 and a flight range of 1,500 km when flying along a high-altitude profile. The length of the rocket is 6 m, and the weight is about 1500 kg. As you can understand, the missile has mainly anti-ship assignment. The missile is equipped with the Item 70 ramjet engine developed by PJSC Soyuz TMKB in Turaevo and is equipped with a combined active-passive homing radar known as Gran-75, which is being developed by Ural Design Bureau Design JSC Detail "in Kamensk-Uralsky; the broadband passive channel (Gran-75PK) for this homing head is being created by the Central Design Bureau of Automation JSC (TsKBA) in Omsk. “Fringe-75” refers to the modification of the homing head “Fragment-K” used in the tactical anti-ship missile X-35U.

This type of weapons includes sea-based missiles "Caliber", air missiles X-101, and other similar types of weapons. Many of them are part of the strategic non-nuclear forces.

#RuAF #Hypersonic #Изделие715
Reports about ongoing tests of the classified #Izdeliye715 (aka #Kh50 / Kh-SD) AS missile which is to succeed / supplement current Kh-32. Kh-50 can fit into the internal bomb bay, reach speed of mach 6, max R of 1500km & is low observable.

Note: The depictions of the Kh-50 are older & are probably wrong or are of a different missile. There don't seem to be any pics or drawings of the Izd 715...also a mach 12 version is reportedly in development.

With all the gorshkovs, yasen and other ships they are building they will need to have around 1000 ready to fire missiles inside them. They will also need a stock of 2 or 3 missile per cell so that increase to 2000-3000 missiles in total.

Remember reading the total of non-nuclear cruise missiles available at the start of this and it was only double digits hence the massive growth even with testing and use in Syria.

How can it only be double digits, no way. The had a lot of cruise missile models already that were quite mature.

mnztr wrote:Ukraine sent 575 cruise missiles back to Russia. So even if they somehow had zero, then they had at least 500, unless they decommed the KH-55 or used them in some unknown war, Who knows what catagory they are counting when they say 37x. And what is a reasonable number of non-nuclear cruise missiles for a nation that has 6000 nuclear warheads? 3000 seems very low to me and I find it hard to believe that Russia was down to 80 cruise missiles at any point in the last 20 years.
