Russia will arm themselves with the latest missiles
The company "Tactical missiles" develops for PAK FA guided weapons, air-to-air and air-to-surface, including guided bombs. Soon Russian fighter of the 5th generation to arm missiles with enhanced range.
The Russian Federation expects a solid upgrade all weapons systems power. New precision-guided weapons will fall into the protection of the frontiers in the foreseeable future. So, the General Director of company "Tactical missiles" (CTRW) Boris Obnosov reported that the Russian fighter of the 5th generation PAK FA (T-50) will get armed with the latest guided weapons high range.
"For us one of the priority tasks is to ensure the timely preparation of a new high-precision weapons, which will differ extended range, high maneuverability, seogadget, improved homing. The range of products has a fresh engine, which allowed to increase the range of use in comparison with the previous generation and a half to two times," - quoted by RIA Novosti Chapter CTRW Boris Obnosov.
Weapons are planned to be placed inside the fighter, which takes into account the reduction of the dimensions of the missiles. "In this regard, you need to anticipate folding system control surfaces, empennage, wings," said Obnosov With all this combat effectiveness will increase by several times, even through the use of new explosive products.
In addition, in this decade we can expect the emergence of armed power of the first hypersonic missile air launched. "In my estimation, 1st hypersonic products are required to appear in this decade up to 2020. We approached this. We are talking about speeds of up to six to eight "Mach". Achieving higher speeds, the problem is more long-term perspective", - stated the head of the "Tactical missile".
He stressed that the 1st hypersonic missiles will be placed on the aircraft, because the rocket is such a class before you start will already have some of the original speed using their own media. So it will be easier to accelerate to speed, you need to run a ramjet sustainer engine.
In addition, Obnosov reminded about the ability of the first manned hypersonic vehicles. Made this brave idea, but will be no earlier than 2030. "I think that manned flight at hypersonic speeds will be possible sometime between 2030 and 2040," said Boris Obnosov
