The Russian Aerospace Forces have begun using the 9-A-7759 Grom-1 guided gliding active-rocket air bombs with bottom gas generators, as well as their gliding counterparts without bottom boost gas generators, the 9-A2-7759 Grom-2, with a tandem combined warhead.
According to him, both modifications of guided gliding bombs can be used from any flight levels up to 17-20 km, as well as in cabriole mode.
When launched at an altitude of 10 km at a speed of 1050 km/h, the Grom-1, thanks to the additional impulse of the bottom boost gas generator, has a range of up to 120 - 130 km, and from cabriole from a low-altitude mode — 27-35 km.
The Grom-2 has a range when dropped from 10 km at a speed of 1050 km/h up to 60 km, from low-altitude cabriole — 15 - 18 km.
Both modifications of the product have a combined guidance system based on an INS with accelerometers, GLONASS/GPS correction modules, as well as active radar homing heads in the X-band, the radar architecture of which is similar to that of the Gran-K type ARGSN, which are placed on Kh-35U multi-purpose tactical missiles.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Su-57 fighter received a device for launching four types of missiles at once. We are talking about the AKU-58U aircraft catapult.
