The world's top 10 most powerful cruise missiles ranked

The world's top ten most powerful cruise missiles ranked India's signature Brahms can only be at the bottom, the United States' legendary Tomahawk missile is not ranked in the top five, then the top three, and who are they?

Tenth place, India's Brahms cruise missile

This type of missile is a new generation of cruise missile developed by India and Russia joint venture, the overall design is a reference to the prototype of the Russian Jewel missile, using active radar with GPS and satellite navigation guidance, with the ability to fly close to the surface and to perform a snake-like maneuvering ballistic flight. At the same time, this type of missile body coated with India's development and production of radar-absorbing material, can enhance the stealth performance of the missile, can maximize the avoidance of radar detection. The Brahms missile has a range of up to 350 Kilometers and can fly at speeds of Mach 2.5 to 2.8. But India has great expectations applied to the destroyer, the frigate will be considered the main force of the sea cruise missile now. But this missile, despite the paper data, has been repeatedly exposed in the test firing tests to identify the target is very weak, belonging to the old active radar pilot head of the common problem. It is also because of this, Brahms has been considered by the world's military fans as a powerful missile whose performance is exaggerated.

Ninth place, Germany's KPD350 cruise missile

This missile, jointly developed by JFK and Saab Boors Dynamics, Sweden, is an air-launched long-range cruise missile with a maximum range of more than 500 Kilometers and a full weight of 1.4 tons. The missile is powered by a turbofan jet engine and can fly at a maximum speed of Mach 0.95. It uses a unique three-mode guidance mode of GPS plus terrain matching and terminal infrared image guidance. The hit error can be controlled within ten meters, and the type of missile is equipped with a warhead of 450 kg 'Morpheus' tandem drilling is a tandem warhead, able to drill at a high speed of 250 meters per second, per-selected depth of the internal detonation, causing an extremely strong violent killing effect. At the same time, the type of missile also has a degree of stealth design, able to perform low-altitude high-speed bursts at altitudes lower than 30 meters, greatly enhancing the difficulty of target defense systems to intercept.

Eighth place, the Russian 3M54 cruise missile

This missile many people may not be familiar with this, but talking about the great name of the club missile, I believe many people will have an impression. This type of missile has a large family, derived from more than eight models, of which the standard version of the Club cruise missile has a maximum range of 500 km, a maximum speed can reach Mach 2.9, a cruise speed of Mach 0.8, using a subsonic or sub supersonic combination of ballistics, with a high probability of surprise and hit rate. The guidance system also has an active radar at the end as well as a correction system for global navigation and inertial guidance in conjunction with a fairly robust hit accuracy that can be maintained to about five meters. This missile has a great reputation in the world of missiles, and the anti-ship missile models derived from it have even more powerful performance.

Seventh place, European Storm Shadow Cruise Missile

Storm Shadow is a far superior air-launched cruise missile jointly developed by Britain, France, and Italy, and is said to be the world's most intelligent and comprehensive cruise missile. This is because the missile system uses artificial intelligence technology to automate target identification, and is said to have the powerful function of image scanning to confirm the target. The missile has a maximum range of 560 Kilometers and a maximum cruise speed of 0.8 to 0.95 Mach and can fly at low altitudes of less than 100 meters above the ground, with a degree of stealth capability and considerable difficulty in interception. It is also because of this feature that makes this missile is the world's first cruise missile with stealth performance, the anti-ship missile is a European advanced technology cruise missile, and the three European countries have great expectations for him, not only will it be brought on the European Rafael fighter-bomber, the British Air Force is planning to carry out the missile as a mounted weapon for the F35 fighter jet, the British air force is even more praise for this missile The British Air Force has praised this missile.

Sixth place, the United States BGM109 Tomahawk cruise missile

Tomahawk cruise missile can be said to be the most significant type of cruise missile in the United States before and after the development of as many as 20 models, can be used in various land-based, ship-based, submarine-launched and air-launched platforms, has a fairly complete system. The Tomahawk cruise missile has a maximum range of 2,500 Kilometers, a takeoff weight of 1.2 tons, a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.7, and a terrain-matching guidance-assisted inertial navigation system that can hit with an accuracy of 30 meters. At the same time, the type of missile can carry a variety of warheads, including four hundred and fifty-four kilograms of high explosive warheads and combined effect warheads can ride on the boy, more in the one to 50,000 tons of nuclear warheads, so that it has a certain degree of strategic strike capability. Tomahawk cruise missile from the 1970s has been the U.S. Navy, the Army's main combat power, the cost of a single missile can reach up to 1.4 million U.S. dollars, still in various countries in the market.

Fifth place, the United States MAGMA cruise missile

This type of missile is the U.S. Boeing's air-launched cruise missile developed for the Air Force in the 1970s belongs to the third generation of U.S. strategic air-to-ground missiles. This missile has been in service for many years and is mainly divided into three types: AGM86A, AGM86B, and AGM86C. The AGM86B is a strategic cruise missile with a maximum range of 2,500 meters and a sustained speed of Mach 0.7, carrying a thermonuclear warhead of 200,000 tons of TNT equivalent, and the accuracy of the strike can also be maintained at less than 100 meters round probability error, from the field of combat, this missile has a full deterrent effect, but also because it carries a nuclear warhead, sacrificing the original MAGMA series The MAGMA cruise missile is mainly launched from the B52G bomber platform, and each B52G bomber can carry up to 20 of them, which can form a very powerful strategic deterrent. However, this missile was eventually discontinued in 1986 because of historical factors, and its powerful performance became the last song.

Fourth place, the Chinese Heilongjiang 100 cruise missile

The Heilongjiang 100 is the newest model in China's common cruise missile family, which is land-based and capable of achieving Mach 6 supersonic speeds using a sub-combustion per combustion dual-mode engine. At the same time this cruise missile in the analysis of many professionals, the range can reach more than 2000 km, as a supersonic cruise missile, such a range is extremely scary data at the same time in the hit accuracy, the long sword 100 can use the terrain tracking system to fly at a predetermined altitude to avoid the detection and tracking of radar, the difficulty of interception is quite high, and the accuracy of his hit can reach 5 to 15 meters. From the range and supersonic level alone, the Rapier 100 is already comparable to some medium-range ballistic missiles.

Third Place, Russian Zircon Hypersonic Cruise Missile

Zircon is Russia's first sea-based hypersonic cruise missile developed by the Russian machine-building research and production complex, which can be used against surface ships, including aircraft carriers, and can also strike ground targets for missiles. What is most praiseworthy is that its hypersonic missile can fly at speeds of up to Mach 9, with a range of more than 1,000 Kilometers, and the entire missile has a combat section weighing 400 kilograms, which is theoretically capable of destroying all types of surface ships and ground targets. And because of the speed, anti-aircraft missiles, and other defense systems and difficulty to intercept him, in all test firing and experimental data, the missile's performance and guidance capabilities are very stable. According to many professional analyses, this missile in the subsequent models can be carried and naval and submarine-launched on a variety of platforms, it is likely to be the fastest cruise missile type.

Second place is the Russian KH555 cruise missile this missile
