Ракеты Х-38МЛ оказались более подходящими для ударов по мостам, чем авиабомбы ФАБ-500М-62

It's all about the circular error probable

The most effective tool for precision air strikes on bridges is still the 2.2-Mach multi-purpose tactical missile Kh-38ML with a range of 65-75 km and a semi-active laser homing head. This was stated by military expert Evgeny Damantsev.

He recalled that the circular error probable of such ammunition does not exceed 1.5 - 2.5 m.

At the same time, the GLONASS-correction radio navigation modules with "Cometa-M" antennas of the UMPC kits, placed on FAB-500M-62 aerial bombs, provide a CEP of at least 15 m, which may not be enough to guarantee the destruction of such logistics facilities.

Characteristics of the Kh-38ML missile:

  • Launch range — 3-40 km
  • Maximum speed — 2.2 Mach
  • Carrier speeds — 54-1620 km/h
  • Carrier altitude — 200-12,000 m
  • Length — 4.2 m
  • Diameter — 0.31 m
  • Launch weight — 520 kg
  • Warhead weight — 250 kg
  • Engine type — dual-mode solid propellant rocket engine
  • Available carriers — Su-35, MiG-35, PAK FA
