KS-172 the Russian-indo awacs killer.

[Moscow]

KS -172

- Joint Venture between India's DRDO and Russias NPO Novator.

SpeciFications :

- It is an ultra Long Range AAM with a Development Range of 400KMs To Target AEW/AWAC Type High Value Aircrafts.

- Sole Carrier in the Indian AF will be the Su-30MKI

Features ( Dimensions) :

- 1.4 Meter long Rocket Booster

- Weight 748Kgs

- Core Diameter 0.40 Meter , Total Lenght 6.01 Meters , Span .61 Meters

- Launched by a Solid-propellant Tandem Rocket Booster

- The KS 172 will attack its Targets with an adaptive high explosive ( HE) fragmentation warhead.

Guidance

- Secure Data-Linked Based inertial Navigation System for MidCourse Guidance ( This would probably be done by AWACS or the 2-3 MKIs Working in Tandem with their Mini AWACS Capability)

- Active Radar Homing for its Terminal Phase.

-The missile will be used against air targets flying at altitudes from 3m to 30km with speeds up to 4,000km/h and manoeuvring at up to 12g.



DRDO and NPO will jointly Develop:
- An Active Homing Radar Seeker with a Wide Lock-On Range Which is able to recieve targeting data from the launch AC.

- Design a combined Gas/AeroDynamic Control system with 3d TVC . Provides High Manoeuvrability irrespective of launch Conditions and allows for missle launch with AC in super Manoeuvrability flight mode.

- Create and Adaptive Rapid Reaction Autopilot Which Optimises with Missile Stabilization and control Parameters within the firing range.

- Development of Special Interaction Logic btween the KS-172 Explosive Fuse and Guidance system Which ( In addition to structural and config features) gurantees absolute immunity of the Warhead detonation system to Jamming


The KS-172 may have been based on the airframe of the 9K37M1 Buk-M surface-to-air missile. It used a two-stage rocket engine with a flight speed of about Mach 4 and a claimed maximum range of 400 km (250 mi). The AAM-L flies to the vicinity of the target by inertial navigation, then activates its own active radar for terminal homing.

The AAM-L missile is intended for use against Airborne Early Warning, tanker, and maritime patrol aircraft, giving an air force the ability to attack these vital assets without having to engage their fighter escorts. Enhanced-range versions have also been suggested as possible anti-satellite weapons.

[tyagi]

nice

 

[Destructlord]

Gief us those anti-satellite missiles too!! We might want to blow up several Israeli satellite as well!

 

[duhastmish]

sir,
Isnt it very must similer to Vympel R-37, Will russia opt for this version , Because i think russia didnt opt for the ks-100 earlier which was installed on MKI.

i dont know what missile you are talking about , i dont think 30MKI is carrying R-37 or Ks-100


Su30 Mki Baby cancarry a variety of ordnance on 12 hard points, which can be increased to 14 by using multi-payload racks. For air-superiority missions, the Su-30MKI can carry air-to-air missiles, like the close-combat R-60MK and R-73RDM2 (up to six), the medium-range R-27RE1/TE1 (up to six/two) and the long-range R-77RVV-AE (up to six).

For surface-strike missions, the Su-30MKI can be armed with air-to-surface missiles like the Kh-25MP, Kh-29L/T (up to six), Kh-31A/P (up to six) and Kh-59/59M (up to two), as well as KAB-500KR/KAB-500OD (up to six) and KAB-1500KR/KAB-1500L (up to three) high-precision bombs which can be fitted with either laser or television guidance systems. Over 70 versions of guided and unguided weapon stores may be employed, which allows the aircraft to fly the most diverse tactical missions. The Su-30 can also carry a tactical nuclear payload.

sir i said - KS-100 WHICH WAS suppose to be rival of vympel
as much about -KS-172 its an 750 kg and 400 km range aam with Active radio-locating with fragmentation high-explosive war head . development jointly by India and Russia. but isnt there a previous version developed by Russia and India ??

 

[Moscow]

sir this new missile is mainly developed for export while the indians will be using it for their su30mki <the later ones> and russia is most likely to use it for the mig31.
actually both india and russia is going in for a new set of modern weapon systems with increased range and agility for their new mkis to be produced in next few years.


thanx

 

[ironman]

How come this possible while Russia is signatory of MTCR . I think the range will be restricted to 300 km.

 

[santa cruz slugg]

The MTCR doesn't apply to Air to Air missiles.
Missile Technology Control Regime
The KS-172 doesn't fall into this category. Bhramos does b/c its a cruise missile.
Moscow: Do you know how far along the JV has progressed? Also do you know what the new set of weapons will be.

 

[UATF]

I dont know how to thank someone. But thanks for the info

 

[AchtungSpitfire]

Interesting development.

 

[garibnawaz]

How come this possible while Russia is signatory of MTCR . I think the range will be restricted to 300 km.

Its 3,000/- Kms and not 300/-

 

[heartwinlion]

Its 3,000/- Kms and not 300/-

no my dear its 300 km check out the link..

Hey moscow is it possible for you to get the date of that report?

and PC can you post the source and date of publishing of your report?

Just curious to know which appeared first.
