Title: Great video of an anti-ship missile
Post by: mthrockmor on October 05, 2011, 07:18:10 PM

Not sure what this is, haven't spent a great deal of time doing visual recognition of weapons lately. I don't think it is a SLAM-ER but someone here will know. And the short flash of the wingtip mounted fuel tanks, plus the speed has the flavor of an F-105. I am guessing this is a Euro crew but...

is that a nonexplosive training round? Because it looks like its all impact damage. Thanks for sharing!

Chase looked like an F-104 to me.

Awesome video! I wonder how fast they were going? Had to be well over the speed of sound.

For some reason that video would not work.

Here's another old technology missile.

It states under the video that it is a Kongsberg Manufactured. - Norways new stealth cruise missile.
This video was shot off California in June of 2011.

Here's a pretty scary cruise missile.

(http://www.indiatalkies.com/images/brahmos-cruise-missile-64325.jpg)

Apparently, they are developing a mach 5 cruise missile in the brahmos II.

Of course the sprint missile posted above was able to accelerate to mach 10 in 5 seconds and actually collided with the icbm reentry vehicles in the early tests which disabled the warhead so they decreased the resolution to keep the proximity fusing from being disabled by collision............back in 1972.

It was used to protect our "retaliatory strike" capability.

The current THAAD missile system get's similar speeds and trades acceleration for much longer flight and interception at longer ranges.

The cruise missiles have stealth in the form of NOE cruise altitudes that are tough to combat.

While much of our crazy spending on exotic missile systems seem wasteful on the surface, those systems are largely responsible for the soviet union spending itself into oblivion.

Threat removed......or at least diminished to a more manageable number of viable threats.

My guess it's an F-5B chase plane from the area ruling on the wing tip tanks, which the 104 don't have.

Very interesting study from Bell Labs on the Sprint Missile.

Quite a piece of tech - even at 40 years old.
