At this year's Zhuhai Air Show, hypersonic missile is a highlight. In addition to publicly displaying the 055 standard Eagle Strike 21 export version YJ-21E, H6K also brought "two broken bombs". Look at the number on the bullet body: 2PZD-21, it is fine to translate it into "just two broken bombs", right? Of course, before the official name is officially announced, we can also call it "Counterweight Bullet 21" or 21 Bullet.
Aviation Industry has personally posted pictures, so don’t say that it leaked
Look at the pinyin, is it just "two broken bombs"?
Some people say that the 21 bomb is the domestic version of CM401, but in fact, CM401 is just an ordinary ballistic missile used for export, and it can only attack warship . The 21 missile is a hypersonic missile with a double-cone warhead, maneuverable ballistics and orbital-changing maneuverability. The two are not the same.
CM401 is also a double cone design
21 bomb is not the self-used version of CM401
In addition, many people compared the two hypersonic missiles carried by the Hong6K to China's "dagger", but in fact, they appeared earlier than the "dagger", so the "dagger" missile is actually the Russian version of "two-break bombs". Internationally, the only remaining AGM-183A in more than 10 hypersonic projects in the United States also grows similar to the 21 bomb, and it appeared even later. In addition to three consecutive failures, it is said to have just entered service recently.
MG 31K mounted dagger missile
The United States has more than 10 hypersonic aircraft projects, and at present, the AGM183A has been successful. The appearance and positioning of the
21 bomb, AGM-183A and "dagger" are similar. We might as well compare and understand what the 21 bomb is in the international arena. It is said that the 21 missile has a flight speed of 6 times the speed of sound, with a range of thousands of kilometers. The combat radius of H-6 K is about 3,000 kilometers. It is easy to hit Guam . The AGM-183A has a very high paper data, with a flight speed of Mach 20 and a range of 1,600 kilometers. However, in fact, the last test was conducted on B-52 on May 14 this year, with a speed of only Mach 5.
AGM183A's main carrier is actually B-1B
As for Russia's "dagger", the paper data is 10 to 12 Mach, the range of using MiG 31K is more than 2,000 kilometers, and the range of using Figure 22M3 is 3,000 kilometers. But in Ukraine, Russia has launched three "Dagger" missiles, all with speeds of Mach 5, and it is only possible to achieve this speed by relying on the MiG-31K's sprint, and it is also targeted at hundreds of kilometers.
Russia fired a total of 3 daggers in Ukraine
So, whether it is my country's 21 bombs, the United States' AGM-183A, or Russia's "dagger", the basic performance is actually similar, but we don't like to blow the data too much. The difference is that AGM-183A uses a gliding body warhead, similar to our Dongfeng 17, while China and Russia's 21 bullets and "daggers" use a double-cone warhead, among which the "daggers" warhead is more sharp.
AGM183 is a gliding body warhead
From the laboratory comparison, it is naturally the gliding body warhead to fly farther, but the problem with AGM-183A is that there is an fairing in the atmosphere, which limits the size and power of the gliding body warhead. Our Dongfeng 17 is a super-caliber installation of gliding body warhead, but it is said that what is displayed is fake, like a smoke bomb, which shows the truth and false. The double-cone warhead relies on the pressure difference and expansion waves of different degrees of air compressed to air at a certain angle of attack to generate a certain lift and glide. The comparison between it and the gliding warhead is like the static and stable and unstable design of the fighter .
This is the exquisiteness of the double-cone warhead design
It is easy to increase the speed of the double-cone warhead. Decades ago, the Pershing II missile in the United States could fly 8 to 9 Mach.However, in order to improve accuracy, many guidance equipment have been added to the end of the missile flight. Too fast speed will affect the performance of the guidance equipment, so the Mach number has to be reduced. The final experimental result is that at Mach 5 to 6, the choice of speed and accuracy is relatively balanced, so this is why the Russian "dagger" claims to be able to fly Mach 10 to 12, but the data in actual combat is only Mach 5 in actual combat.
匕首弹头的双锥体其实并不明显
说到最后，咱还要提一句，别看轰6已经老了，还真不能退役，因为轰6K和轰6N能以外挂的形式携带巨大的高超音速导弹，如果换成隐身轰炸机，它的内埋弹舱还真不一定能装下。 Unless one day, we use to 20 to change a new strategic bomber , otherwise, Liu Ye will have to persist.
轰6短时间还真不能退役
