SS-N-19 missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Build by Chelomei/NPO Mashinostroenia, the bulging 10 m missile has swept-back wings and tail, weighs around 4000 kg and can be fitted with either a 750 kg HE warhead, a FAE warhead, or a 500 kt of TNT nuclear one. The missile was partially derived from the SS-N-12 Sandbox. It is launched by two solid-fuel boosters before moving into sustained flight with a ramjet engine, the missile has a distinct annular air intake in the nose to power the engine. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/SS-N-19_missile   (305 words)

Cruise Missiles Three key concerns of the cruise missile threat are (1) range extension to ranges greater than 500 km, (2) the ability to penetrate defenses, and (3) any technologies that reduce the cost of manufacture and therefore increase the size of a cruise missile in-ventory. In most cases, the performance of missiles is range limited and, in some cases, even payload limited, and their use as a carrier of WMD is probably confined to tactical applications. A cruise missile airframe does not undergo particularly severe stress on its flight to a target, it does not pull any high “g” maneuvers, and it does not experience propulsion accelerations associated with gun or ballistic missile launches. fas.org /nuke/intro/cm   (3058 words)

P-700 3M-45 Granat SS-N-19 SHIPWRECK The missile is believed to have an inertial guidance system possibly with provision for mid-course guidance in over-the-horizon (OTH) engagements although this seems unlikely. Halfway along the body is an air inlet for the turbofan or turbo-jet which is used in the cruising phase after the missile has been launched with the aid of two solid propellant boosters. There are two sharply swept-back wings and two swept-back tail fins with a similar stabilizer on the underside of the missile. www.globalsecurity.org /military/world/russia/ss-n-19.htm   (314 words)

UR-100N / SS-19 STILLETO - Russian / Soviet Nuclear Forces The missile employed an inertial guidance system that was is estimated by some Western sources to have an operational CEP of 0.3 nm in 1975 with a potential CEP of 0.25 nm by 1980. The missile was initially deployed on 30 December 1975, though according to Western estimates it achieved an initial operational capability in 1974. The first regiment with UR-100N missiles was put on alert on 26 April 1975 and by the end of 1975 a total of 60 launchers were deployed. www.fas.org /nuke/guide/russia/icbm/ur-100n.htm   (1021 words)

MissileThreat :: News Archive: Testing - Foreign The missile was described in an Indian press release as having a range of 2,500 km, having a payload capacity of 1,000 kilograms, and the capability to be launched on either road or rail mobile launchers. The cruise missile is called the Hatf VII “Babur,” and is said to have a range of 500 km (310 miles), according to spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan. The missile was launched from the Sea of Okhotsk and the warheads traveled to their targets at the Chizh range near the White Sea. www.missilethreat.com /news/testingforeign.html   (10969 words)

Haze Gray & Underway Photo Feature: Soviet & Russian Navy - Guided Missile Submarines - Nuclear Powered Their great beam allows them to carry the missiles in individual tubes between the pressure hull and the outer hull, similar to the arrangement of the 'PAPA' class. The missile hatches are very well faired into the hull, no doubt due to the boat's high speed, so they are invisible in this view. A further change resulted when the SS-N-9 missile was not ready in time for the 'CHARLIE' class, forcing the substitution of the SS-N-7, a modified version of the venerable SS-N-2 'Styx'. www.hazegray.org /features/russia/ssgn.htm   (533 words)
