GlobalConflictहिंदी's video: Russian Kalibr Cruise Missile US Tomahawk

Since the early 1990s, the US has launched hundreds of Tomahawk cruise missiles from ships and submarines, to strike targets in the Middle East, North Africa, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan. The Tomahawk cruise missile, which has a subsonic speed (about 890 km/h), is close to the speed of a civilian airliner. However, Tomahawks can hit targets up to 1,500 km away, making them a popular (albeit expensive) offensive, without endangering the US military. However, the US monopoly on this type of missile was lost, when on October 7, 2015, the Russian Gepard-class frigate Dagestan and three Buyan-class corvettes in the Caspian Sea, launched a series 26 six Kalibr cruise missiles from the ship’s Vertical Launch System. 26 Kalibr missiles with a length of up to 9 meters, flew over the territory of Iran and Iraq with a total distance of 1,700km, before hitting 11 targets in Syria; The missile hit a series of bases belonging to. Although Pentagon sources said that four of the 26 missiles launched, had engine problems and crashed in Iran, but there were no casualties. However, this is still a demonstration of the ability to attack long-range, which previously belonged only to the US. Then on December 9, 2015, the improved Kilo-class diesel-electric submarine Rostov-na-Donu launched a series of Kalibr missiles from underwater, at targets in Syria; marks the combat debut of modern Russian submarine force ships. In 2016, Russian frigates in the Mediterranean attacked Syrian rebels in Aleppo and Idlib with at least three Kalibrs. In fact, at that time, Russian planes operating over Syrian territory could easily carry out airstrikes against these targets at a much lower cost. Even many long-range bombers can fly directly from Russia to Syria to bomb and return. However, by flaunting its long-range naval strike capabilities, Moscow not only advertises its technological prowess, but also advertises the Kalibr missile capabilities to foreign customers who can choose to purchase a shorter range variant, known as the Klub missile. There are more than a dozen different variants in the Kalibr family of missiles, varying in launchers, ranges, configurations and speeds, varying in length from 6 to 9 meters, but all carrying a 450kg. The anti-ship variants, designated by NATO as SS-N-27 Sizzler, or 3M54T or 3M54K for surface- and submarine-launched versions respectively, have a shorter range, estimated at 500-760 km. , and is designed to glide over the sea to avoid detection. With a thrust vectoring nozzle design along with active radar, surface-launched versions of Kalibr anti-ship missiles can perform evasive maneuvers, instead of approaching in a straight line. When the Kalibr missile closes within a short distance of the enemy ship, the missile accelerates from a cruise speed of Mach 0.8 to Mach 3, and descends to an altitude of only 4.6 meters; very difficult, for the anti-missile defense system of the ship. The ground attack variants, 3M14T and 3M14K (NATO designation SS-N-30A), do not appear to accelerate to Mach 3 on approach, but use inertial guidance, which is effective. GPS-tuned, with a range of up to 2,400km.
