Then, in addition to the land-based ballistic missile anti-ship of the previous republic, another kind of ballistic anti-ship missile can be put into practical use, which can only be launched by aircraft, and this kind of operation is the mode of launching missile raids outside the medium and high altitude defense area, and the representative work of anti-ship missiles that implements this design idea is also a product of the republic, and the CM-400AKG anti-ship missile launched by the previous face supporting the Thunder Dragon fighter.

Of course, in addition to the CM-400AKG ballistic anti-ship missile launched by the Republic in the new century, Japan also launched an anti-ship missile based on the same design idea, numbered ASM-3 missile, and touted it as an "aircraft carrier killer" in a high-profile manner.

So for the attack mode of this ballistic missile, the main process: the missile is carried by the aircraft into the war zone, along the way high-altitude penetration + end of the large-angle dive attack, when publicizing to the outside world, many countries also call this attack mode "over the zenith attack trajectory".

How powerful is the CM-400AKG? What is the specific size of the missile, we need to look at these problems one by one, and we should first talk about the advantages of this missile, in fact, we should first talk about its disadvantages, so that it is relatively more appropriate, after all, there are various reasons why the anti-ship missile was not developed in the early stage of development.

One of the drawbacks; The problem is that ballistic anti-ship missiles must have sufficient altitude, whether the missile itself carries a booster to fly to a high altitude, or the missile is carried by an aircraft to a high altitude, anyway, it is a sentence: a ballistic anti-ship missile cannot be without altitude, altitude is the most important indicator of a ballistic aircraft, and without sufficient altitude, it is impossible for the missile to accumulate enough kinetic energy when attacking at the end of the missile.

Now the question arises, ballistic anti-ship missiles require a certain altitude, and the condition at this time is that they must be launched by aircraft, so can an aircraft flying with missiles guarantee its own safety? In this way, when the aircraft is flying at medium and high altitudes, it must have been discovered by the shipborne radar of the enemy on the surface from a long distance, which naturally gives the attacked target a lot of time to react, and even like the US aircraft carrier battle group, it is enough to solve all potential dangers directly from the peripheral early warning aircraft + F-14 fighters.

Therefore, the danger of air-launched ballistic anti-ship missiles lies in the early stage of the missile attack, which is actually very easy to be exposed, and once exposed, it will be easily shot down, so the republics and the Soviet Union during the Cold War wisely chose not to develop airborne ballistic anti-ship missiles, in fact, there is a reason for this.

As for why the Republic of the Cold War will develop such a thing as CM-400AKG, this is because CM-400AKG is used as an anti-ship missile for the Thunder fighter, and the combat target of the Thunder is not the existence of the US Navy, just for the Indian Navy, it is really not possible for the Indian Navy to intercept the Thunder fighter that launches anti-ship missiles from a distance of 100 kilometers, after all, India's aircraft carrier is too spicy, and the threat of ballistic anti-ship missiles to large armies, Again, it is an anti-ship missile that is much larger than a cruise-skimming flight.

Similarly, this is also the reason why Japan chose to develop missiles of the same type, because the aircraft carriers of the Republic do not have carrier-based fixed-wing early warning aircraft, the configuration of the fleet is not perfect enough, and Japan only needs to use several important seas. There are many ways for the planes to hide and launch a surprise attack as soon as the opportunity comes, and if the combat system of the Republic's aircraft carrier formation is perfect enough, Japan will not be able to develop such a thing.

To sum it up, in a word, ballistic anti-ship missiles are easy to be intercepted in advance under the ship-based radar and carrier-based early warning aircraft system for the sake of high rigid requirements, so this is the first crime; Looking at the second reason, the early ballistic anti-ship missiles were huge in size, and they were several tons of large tonnage at every turn, and the tonnage of the missiles was large, and the carrier aircraft must also be larger, which at least required bomber-level aircraft to be used.

For this kind of problem, the great development of science and technology in the nineties, in fact, it is really not a problem, the miniaturization of missiles itself is already in full swing, for example, the volume of CM-400AKG has been very well controlled, the weight is only 900 kg level, and the volume is only the full length: 5.2 meters, diameter: 0.4 meters.

Such data is already quite good, Compared with the middle bomb bay of the middle four reached a length of 4.5 meters, the CM-400AKG can be used as an example, the length of the missile can be shortened by 1 meter, in fact, this can also meet the size requirements of the use of the bomb bay, just CM-400AKG up to 900 kg of weight is also a bit overweight, just through the design of the missile reduction of 1 meter, the weight of the missile is expected to be reduced between 150-200 kg, so that 700 kg of an anti-ship missile is barely enough.

You know, the early C-801 missile is only 800 kilograms, the Exocet missile is even only 670 kilograms, and now the development of a 700 kilogram anti-ship missile is not a problem at all, not to mention that the ballistic anti-ship missile relies on altitude advantage, and can reach hypersonic speed when the end of the sprint, and the power is multiplied with the weight / speed of the missile, even if the missile weighs only 700 kilograms, but a missile hits the warship, The damage effect is also much greater than that of ordinary anti-ship missiles.

Therefore, after careful analysis, ballistic anti-ship missiles do not attach too much importance to the weight of the missile, charge and other indicators, and what is really valued is actually the missile launch height, the higher the initial launch altitude of the missile, the better, if it can be launched from outside the atmosphere, it is the best, if not, it can be launched at an altitude of 20,000 meters, anyway, the higher the highest point of the missile's trajectory, the faster the terminal flight speed, and the power will increase geometrically.

Therefore, the size and weight of the missile are not a big problem, as for how the carrier aircraft successfully penetrated into the air defense circle of the enemy's surface fleet, this problem is really unsolvable for the early bombers and fighters, but for the fourth middle school with stealth combat capabilities, is this really a problem?

The reason why the missile is built in so painstakingly is to keep the fighter in perfect stealth shape, so that it can carry the missile to quietly break into the air defense circle of the enemy's surface ship, complete the lock on to the enemy warship and launch the missile, and then rely on the stealth ability to quickly break away and complete a perfect high-altitude bomb delivery mission.

This is the power of stealth fighters, for stealth fighters, ultra-low-altitude sea-skimming raids are simply a full and supportive, isn't it good for us to be bright and high-altitude raids? Anyway, it is difficult for the enemy's radar to catch the stealth fighter, so the stealth fighter wants to carry out the mission of striking at the sea, and a low-altitude sea-skimming raid is not a good choice, and the high-altitude ballistic anti-ship missile is a perfect match.
