Vietnam successfully upgraded the Kh-29 missile

In recent years, Vietnam has successfully researched and modernized many weapons and weapons including Kh-29T / L missiles.

The above content was mentioned by the QDND newspaper in the article "Creative application of science and technology for technical advisory work " published April 22. In the past years, the General Department of Technical Department has directed and organized the effective implementation of research programs to improve and modernize technical equipment weapons.

Among them, the completed items of the improvement program include: Improving T-54B tanks, P-18 radars, B-72 anti-tank missiles, automating launchers and rocket launchers BM- 21 . and especially the Kh-29T / L missile. These weapons and ammunition have been put into application and promoted significantly.

Fight against the Su-30 with Kh-29 missile shells.

Although not specifically stated what this upgrade package includes, it is almost certain that this weapon will be stronger and more reliable than the original imported from Russia.

According to the information published by the manufacturer, with a 320kg heavy warhead, the Kh-29T / L missile can destroy many types of solid or battleship targets with a volume of water over 10,000 tons.

The Kh-29 is an ultrasonic missile that can strike solid targets, combat ships, lander ships, and logistics ships with the same function as the US AGM-65 Maverick and AS missiles. -30 of France.

Launching the Kh-29 is an APU-58 and AKU-58, the missile will be dropped from the aircraft before the engine activates. The maximum Kh-29 configuration on the Su-27/30 is 6 bullets, 2-gun MiG-27 Flogger, Su-17 / 22M4 Fitter 2 bullets and Su-24M Fencer 3 bullets.

The warhead of the Kh-29 is a concave explosion designed specifically for breakthroughs and according to the manufacturer's recommendation, it can penetrate 1m of concrete behind 3 meters of soil. After launching the rocket, climb to a height of 5,000m then dive straight down to the target.

The detonators of the Kh-29 can be set up according to the explosive touch mode (when attacking targets such as bridges, sewers) or slow explosions (to penetrate bunkers or fortified fortifications).

The missile tail is PRD-228 engine that uses solid fuel to make it easy to store and use, this engine works for 3 - 6 seconds to help missiles fly at a speed of about 1,250 km / h and reach a distance of 30 km (Kh-29TE version).

When the Kh-29 is fired, the missile will be dropped about 3 meters below the aircraft, then the airstrip connecting the aircraft with the safety pin on the Kh-29 opens, the Kh-29 rocket engine will activate.

Such a design is to blame the impact of the powerful engine on the rocket on the aircraft, as well as to avoid the smoke of the jet flow from the rocket engine discharging into the air intakes.

Vietnam Clip Su-30 participated in shooting real bullets.
