Scud Missile
A Scud missile is one of a series of tactical ballistic missiles developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It was exported widely to both Second and Third World countries. The term comes from the NATO reporting name attached to the missile by Western intelligence agencies. The Russian names for the missile are the R-11 (the first version), and the R-17 (later R-300) Elbrus (later developments). The name Scud has been widely used to refer to these missiles and the wide variety of derivative variants developed in other countries based on the Soviet design. Scud missiles have been used in combat since the 1970s, mostly in wars in the Middle East. They became familiar to the Western public during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, when Iraq fired dozens at Saudi Arabia and Israel. In Russian service, it has been replaced by the 9K720 Iskander. Development The first use of the term ''Scud'' was in the NATO name SS-1b Scud-A, applied to the R-11 Zemlya ballistic missile. The ...

Surface-to-surface Missiles Of Turkey
A surface-to-surface missile (SSM) is a missile designed to be launched from the ground or the sea and strike targets on land or at sea. They may be fired from hand-held or vehicle mounted devices, from fixed installations, or from a ship. They are often powered by a rocket engine or sometimes fired by an explosive charge, since the launching platform is typically stationary or moving slowly. They usually have fins and/or wings for lift and stability, although hyper-velocity or short-ranged missiles may use body lift or fly a ballistic trajectory. The first operational surface-to-surface missile was the V-1 flying bomb, it was powered by a pulsejet engine. Contemporary surface-to-surface missiles are usually guided. An unguided surface-to-surface missile is usually referred to as a rocket (for example, an RPG-7 or M72 LAW is an anti-tank rocket), whereas a BGM-71 TOW or AT-2 Swatter is an anti-tank guided missile. Examples of surface-to-surface missile include the MGM-140 ATACMS ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Çakır (missile)
Çakır is a new generation cruise missile that can be launched from land, sea and air platforms with a range of more than , designed by Turkish rocket and missile manufacturer Roketsan. It was introduced with the launch of Roketsan Ankara Lalahan facilities on 31 March 2022. On the same day, a video about the missile was shared on the Twitter account of Roketsan. The targets of Çakır include surface targets, land and surface targets close to the shore, strategic land targets, field targets and caves. It is aimed to make the first firing from the UAV Bayraktar Akıncı towards the end of 2022, and to perform the platform integration in 2023. The missile, which can act in coordination with different platforms thanks to its network-based data link, allows route update, target change and mission cancellation during flight depending on the user's choice. It also has the ability to dodge while cruising. The missile, which has terrain following technology, can fly close to the wate ...

Hwasong-11A
The Hwasong-11A (), also known as KN-23 under the United States’s naming convention, is a North Korean single-stage, solid-fueled short-range ballistic missile. Design The Hwasong-11A bears an external resemblance to the Russian Iskander-M and South Korean Hyunmoo-2B short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs), being distinguished by its elongated cable raceway, different jet vane actuators and smooth base. Like the Iskander-M, it flies in a quasi-ballistic trajectory, flattening out below an altitude of about where the atmosphere is dense enough so the missile's fins can change course along its flight path. It is believed to have a range of about , putting all of South Korea within range. It is possible that the missile can have a better range with a reduced payload. The missile's warhead section has enough space for up to of high explosives compared to for Hwasong-5 (Scud-B) and of 9K720 Iskander. With a warhead, the missile has an estimated range of . The warhead can b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hyunmoo
Hyunmoo () is a series of South Korean ballistic and cruise missiles developed by the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) and manufactured by Hanwha and LIG Nex1. The Hyunmoo-1 was a variant of the NHK-1 Baekgom (Nike Hercules Korea-1 White Bear; ) missile whose propulsion engine was modified based on the technology transfer of the American Nike Hercules and has been deployed to the ROK Armed Forces from 1987. Later, Hyunmoo-1 was retired in 2018 due to the further development of the Hyunmoo-2 with a longer range. Hyunmoo-1 Hyunmoo-1 is the first domestically-produced ballistic missile used by the South Korean Army. It was developed by the South Korean national Agency for Defense Development, and is based on the American 1960s Nike Hercules missile system; the US designates it as the Nike Hercules Korea (NHK-1). In 1986, South Korea succeeded in test-launching a missile with a current payload of and a range of . The Hyunmoo system, which means "guardian angel of the n ...

DF-15
The Dong-Feng 15 (a.k.a. DF-15, M-9, CSS-6) is a short-range ballistic missile developed by China. The U.S. Department of Defense estimated in 2008 that China had 315–355 DF-15 missiles and 90–110 launchers. History Development on the DF-15 began in 1985 with a finalized design proposal being approved by the PLA in 1987. From the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, testing of the missile was done in the Gobi Desert. The first public display of the missile took place at the Beijing Defense Exposition in 1986. The Second Artillery Corps had allegedly deployed a small number of the missiles the following year. In 1989, Libya agreed to finance Syria's purchase of M-9 missiles from China. The sale of missiles to Syria were cancelled under U.S. pressure in 1991. Description The DF-15 uses a solid fuel, single-stage rocket. It is vertically launched from an eight-wheeled transporter erector launcher (TEL). The missile's trajectory is guided using small thrusters and an inertial gu ...

Nasr (missile)
The Nasr (Military designation: Hatf-IX Nasr, ''Transl.'': ''Target-9'', ), is a solid fueled short-ranged ballistic missile system derived from China's WS-2 tactical rocket, and further developed by the National Development Complex (NDC) of Pakistan, currently in service with the Pakistan Army. The ISPR described the system as a "Multi-tube Ballistic Missile" because the launch vehicle carries multiple missiles. Its existence was revealed after a test in 2011 and it appears to have entered in military deployment after further testing in 2013. Background According to defence analysts and missile technology experts the system appears to have been developed as a "low-yield battlefield deterrent" targeted at "mechanized forces like armed brigades and divisions." Therefore, it is believed by analysts that the system is deployed to deter and respond to India's " Cold Start" doctrine. The military ISPR maintains that the Hatf IX was developed to "add deterrence value... at s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
