In fact, this news was first reported by the American media. Pakistan Railway’s new air-launched anti-ship missile is actually China’s domestically produced CM-400AKG anti-ship missile. The most convenient thing for this type of missile is that it can be used with Xiaolong fighters. It has the advantages of fast launch speed, difficult interception, and long range. This is also one of the reasons why Pakistan Railway equipped Xiaolong with such missiles. More importantly, the CM-400AKG anti-ship missile has the strong power to strike against large surface ships, and even tens of thousands of tons of aircraft carriers cannot escape the attack. It is understood that the CM-400AKG anti-ship missile is developed and produced by my country’s aviation industry. The missile has a high ballistic flight path, a maximum range of 250 kilometers, a missile hit error of only 5 meters, and a terminal flight speed close to Mach 5, which is difficult. The reason for being intercepted by the battleship air defense system.
Previously, U.S. military experts have analyzed the CM-400AKG anti-ship missile, saying that it is the most difficult model of the non-hypersonic conventional anti-ship missiles currently in service in the world, with a terminal Mach 5 and effective evasion maneuverability. , Is unmatched among similar missiles in the world. US military experts also mentioned that the existing air defense interception system of the NATO naval fleet is difficult to respond to such powerful anti-ship missiles, and the interception success rate is expected to be quite low.
In fact, what attracts people’s attention is not only the powerful paper data of the CM-400AKG air-launched anti-ship missile, but more importantly, the abnormal performance of the CM-400AKG air-launched anti-ship missile. Strikes that skimmed over the ocean turned into dive strikes against high-altitude ballistics. When combined with flight speed and terminal maneuverability, interception became extremely difficult. At the same time, top-down dive strikes also strengthened the damage of this anti-ship missile. ability. U.S. military experts believe that the CM-400AKG air-launched anti-ship missile has absorbed the design advantages of the Dongfeng 21D. This kind of "initiation" strike has a strong damage effect on the aircraft carrier. Even if it cannot be sunk on the spot, its power is enough to destroy the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. This is sufficient in actual combat. A carrier-based aircraft that loses its deck will not be able to take off, and the role of the aircraft carrier will also be lost.
Seeing here, many people are wondering why the JF-17 Xiaolong fighter jets equipped by Pakistan are equipped with such powerful anti-ship missiles? I believe many people have already thought of it just to target their old rival India. British media speculated that Pakistan’s strengthening of the air force’s anti-ship capabilities is likely to target India’s aircraft carrier fleet. Of course, it is not ruled out that Pakistan Rail will use this kind of missiles for air strikes. After all, the speed of Mach 5 and the range of 250 kilometers are still very effective when starting a plane. What needs to be improved is how to guide the precise hit. .
