Full specifications
Performance
Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.
- Max speed (Mach)
Maximum speed as a multiple of the speed of sound. Mach 2+ is typical for air-superiority fighters.
- 0.9 Mach Stronger than 30% of missiles
- Range
Maximum distance: ferry range for aircraft, operational range for vehicles, maximum engagement distance for missiles. Higher means more standoff or persistence.
- 120 km Stronger than 50% of missiles
Firepower
Armament, payload and guidance.
- Warhead
Warhead mass. Heavier generally means larger effect radius, at the cost of range.
- 165 kg Stronger than 56% of missiles
- Warhead type
Blast-fragmentation, shaped charge (HEAT), penetrator, thermobaric or nuclear-capable.
- Semi-armor-piercing high-explosive
- Guidance
How the weapon finds its target: inertial, GPS/GLONASS, active/semi-active radar, infrared, laser, TV, wire.
- Inertial navigation, Active radar homing terminal
Physical
Dimensions, weight and crew.
- Length
Overall length including gun/probe where applicable.
- 6.39 m
- Combat weight
Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.
