CM-400AKG: Pakistan's supersonic carrier killer

. . .
Hmm doesn't Pakistan already have Ra'ad/ babur? I wonder if a piece or two are for reverse engineering for further technical know - hows?

Either way, good.

Ohh wait, Babur/ Ra'ad isnt supersonic.. is it? I dont have much knowledge about these things.

It's an air launched sub sonic cruise missile which can carry nuclear payload
 
.
Most of the damage by exocet was done by the fuel present in the missile at the time of impact
 
. . .

some one translate please

Apart from some chitchatting, the man from the design team Mr Zhang explained a few key facts:

Standoff attack, Hypersonic flight;
Operational Range: 100 - 240 km;
Max speed: mach 5.5;
Missile length: 5.2m;
Diameter: 400mm (0.4m);
Weight: around 900kg;
Interchangeable warhead/guidance parts
Several guidance methods: inertial(INS) + passive radar/IR/TV(visual) terminal homing;
Full autonomous flight control for endo-atmospheric manoeuvre (全程控制在大气层内机动) - could use a better translation?

Air launched Brahmos is 2.5 tons and can carry 300kg warhead @ mach 3? on impact say 1 ton of fuel has been conumed,and the remaining total mass is 1.5
tons,then the kinetic energy will be equal to 1500kg X 1020.9 m/s = 780300000 joules ? this equals 186 kilos of TNT. add that with 300kg warhead,then total explosive power becomes 486 kg TNT on
impact... but an MKI can carry one Brahmos? A JF-17 can carry 2 CM-400 AKG
Warhead size same as many other specs is unknown,but probably 100-150 KG Starting Mass 900 KG...
Say fuel on board is 400KG,then at maximum range mass on impact will be 500KG?
500KG X 1872m/s (MACH 5.5) = 875716961 Joules The total kinetic energy on Impact converted into equivalent energy Released by TNT
explosion come as 200 KG of Equivalent explosive energy on Impact without
Warhead.. Now add Warhead to equation.. Total Explosive power 200KG + 150KG = 350KG For two missiles its 700KG TNT compared to 486 KG TNT for one air launched Brahmos

Sukhoi30s marked to carry ALCM brahmos will carry 3.
2nd brahmos has sustained supersonic cruise[cg-400 reaches its speed at terminal stage],high G evasive manuevres,and most imp sea skimming at mere 10 m altitude almost grazing the sea making very difficult to intercept it coz its extreme angle and below missile's combat envelope.

Without sea skimming against modern AD liable to be shot down easily.CG-400 not very manuevreable at all,can't even hit fast moving targets.
 
. . .
I think we have. Remember those smart, tactical nuclear weapons which Pakistan worked on 2-3 years ago?
 
.
Yes it can.
But i don't know whether you have miniaturized your warheads to that level.

highly doubt it. It's a tactical weapon; specially made to take out highly sensitive targets. Not to blow up a city.
It will probably remain conventional.
our fanboys like to make everything nuclear.

I had some doubts,too but still may be possible.
