The AGM-158B JASSM-ER was estimated to have a maximum range of 500 nmi (930 km). [3] [17] However, LRASM's range is shorter than the JASSM-ER it is based upon, due to the extra space for the navigation/sensor/passive radar needs. Lockheed Martin has claimed the missile's range is greater than 200 nmi (370 km). [18]
To replace the ALCM, the USAF planned to award a contract for the development of the new Long-Range Stand-Off weapon in 2015. [6] Unlike the AGM-86, the LRSO will be carried on multiple aircraft. The LRSO program is to develop a weapon that can penetrate and survive integrated air defense systems and prosecute strategic targets.
The Dong Feng 31 (a.k.a. CSS-10) is a medium-range, three-stage, solid-propellant intercontinental ballistic missile, and is a land-based variant of the submarine-launched JL-2. The DF-41 or CSS-X-10 can carry up to 10 nuclear warheads, which are MIRVs and has a range of approximately 12,000–14,000 km (7,500–8,700 mi).
The longer range ATACMS with bomblets and unitary warheads were also reportedly supplied and used starting in March 2024. [77] Ukraine fired several American-supplied longer-range missiles ATACMS into Russia, Ukrainian officials said on 18 November 2024, marking the first time Kyiv used the weapons that way in 1,000 days of war.
The missile carries the 500-pound (230 kg) WDU-18/B penetrating high explosive blast fragmentation warhead of the US Navy's Harpoon anti-ship missile, which was packaged into the newly designed WAU-23/B warhead section. Range: 70–300 km (43–186 mi). 176 M48 were produced between 2001 and 2004, when production ceased in favor of the M57.
The JASSM-ER is also the basis for AGM-158C Long Range Anti-Ship Missile, which is a JASSM-ER with a new seeker. [65] The Air Force used the B-1 Lancer to complete a captive carry test of an LRASM to ensure the bomber can carry it, as both missiles use the same airframe.
The HGV can perform terminal maneuvers and follow highly complex and adaptive flight paths. It has a demonstrated range of at least 1,500 km (930 mi). The missile will have several warhead configurations for use in various roles by all the branches of the Indian Armed Forces. [4] [24] [27] LRAShM is cold-launched from a hermetically sealed ...
Saudi Arabia claims that another long-range ballistic missile was fired toward Mecca and intercepted by a Saudi Patriot in October 2016. [120] Houthi sources said that the missile's intended target was the air force base in King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, 65 km (40 miles) north-west of Mecca. [ 121 ]
