[World Wide Web Roundup] According to the U.S. Global Strategic Network reported on November 23, China has its new CM-400AKG supersonic cruise missiles found the first foreign customer, namely Pakistan. However, the report pointed out that China the CM-400AKG missile is still in the research and development stage, there is no indication that this missile has been tested.
　　It is understood, CM-400AKG supersonic cruise missile a maximum range of 250 km, and its guidance system including GPS systems, airborne radar and image recognition to identify specific targets. Its solid rocket power unit, flight speed of more than Mach 4, can take advantage of high-speed flight capability breakthrough shipboard air defense network. It is reported, with the penetrators head and explosive warhead this new missile is mainly used for slow moving target against fixed targets and aircraft carrier.
　　Earlier, the United Kingdom, "Jane's Defence Weekly has said that Pakistan has its Air Force" Fierce Dragon "fighter equipped with the CM-400AKG missile. In an interview with "Jane's", Pakistan Air Force the Chan said the CM-400AKG missile is a
　　"Fully mature weapons test, the weapon is not a concept, but in service."
　　However, the U.S. Global Strategic Network article pointed out that, from the range, guided and speed, the Chinese the CM-400AKG of missile similar with India and Russia jointly developed BrahMos missile, but the former is still in the research and development stage, there is no evidence that it has been tested. U.S. Global Strategic Network article also believes that Pakistan "for sale" CM-400AKG missile may be a strategy of the Chinese manufacturers, is intended to determine whether subsection missiles worth the huge investment, in order to become a truly available missile.
　　Reported that CM-400AKG missile "BrahMos" missile is quite similar. "BrahMos" missile is a 3.2-ton missile a range of 300 kilometers and can carry a 300 kg warhead. "BrahMos" missile the most out of color is possible flight speed. Allegedly paragraph missile flight speed close to three times the speed of sound, faster than a rifle bullet flight speed. "BrahMos" missile using GPS or inertial guidance flew to the approximate target area (usually refers to a ship or other small target), after which they equipped with radar targeted attack. By the impact of the weight of the entire missile "BrahMos" missile flight speed, generate additional destructive. All of these are developed the CM-400AKG supersonic cruise missile is quite similar.
　　"BrahMos" missile jointly developed by India and Russia, have been for export. Paragraph missile unit price is high, up to 200-3000000 U.S. dollars (the specific price depends on the missile type), which limits the ability to procurement number of countries this missile. "BrahMos" missile fitted out in 2005, the Indian Navy. Via various types of aircraft, ships and ground launchers, submarine-launched. Maximum flight speed of 3000 km has not only increased the difficulty of intercepting the missile "Brahmos", and also enables the missile to the target can be reached in less than five minutes or five minutes. Air-launched "BrahMos" missile weighs 2.5 tons.
　　"BrahMos" missile 9.4 m, a diameter of 670 mm, an upgraded version of the Russian "gem" (NATO reporting name SS-NX-26) missile, which is the end of the Cold War in 1991, is still in the research and development stage. Lack of completed research and development projects and launch missile research and development required $ 24 million in funding required for the production process, the Russian manufacturer eventually reached an agreement with India, which completed most of the money.
　　At present, Russia and India are under construction, "BrahMos" missile, Russia to help India build in charge of production patrol missile parts factory. India and Russia plan to export 2000 subsection missiles, but has not yet received orders. Russia and India are investing in the development of "Brahmos II missile, the second stage of this missile scramjet, instead of a jet engine. This will allow the missile's speed is doubled, and further increase the difficulty of this defense missiles.
