Extended tactical cruise missiles effective range



First at all ,let us introduce two weapons of Russian army.

Caliber cruise missile and kilo class submarine

The caliber cruise missile has a length of 8.2 meters, a diameter of 0.5 meters, and an overall weight of 2.3 tons,Its warhead is filled with 200 kilograms of high-energy explosives,
The power device adopts a solid rocket booster, combined with a solid rocket engine and a turbojet engine, The maximum flight speed can reach an 2.9 Mach, and ordinary radar defense systems are unable to make effective responses.The maximum range of a caliber cruise missile is 2500 kilometers.
Its guidance method is composed of three sections. They are inertial guidance in the early stage, terrain matching guidance in the middle stage, and optical imaging guidance when locking the final target at the end. With support of three guidance methods, almost no target can escape its tracking range.

Kilo class submarine parameter



underwater drainage capacity 3000 tons

Main dimensions: 73.8 meters long, 9.9 meters wide, maximum diving depth: 300 meters



Main engine: 2 diesel generators, 1 propulsion motor, and 1 navigation motor.



Speed: The surface speed is 11 knots, the underwater speed is 18 knots, and the maximum speed reach 20 knots.

Weapon: The bow of the boat is equipped with 6 torpedo launch tubes, which can carry an additional 12 spare torpedoes, and also be equipped with caliber cruise missiles. Additionally, it can carry 24 naval mines.

Radar: MPK-503 radar, MPM-253M search and early warning radar

Sonar: M г K-400 active/passive search and intermediate frequency sonar

===============================================================


Hawaii island distance Los Angeles city 4097 kilometers (about 2500 miles away) , The maximum range of a caliber cruise missile is 2500 kilometers.

Let us make a hypothetical situation , if kilo class submarines launch caliber cruise missiles near the sea areas of Hawaii, attack the city Los Angeles. Would these missiles arrival the targets?

The caliber cruise missile equip with a turbojet engine.Generally, small turbojet engines have small volume, low cost, and high reliability,Using aviation kerosene as fuel, suitable for cruise missiles.

Another new technology drone, MQ25A unmanned refuel aircraft of USA

In October 2017, U.S. Navy bid for the MQ-25A unmanned refuel aircraft, They want the drone to be able to carry 15,000 pounds of fuel eject from the carrier, while saving as much fuel as possible in flight, at 700 kilometers from the carrier, where the F-35 fighter is nearing the limit of its combat radius, to refuel the F-35 fighter to extend its combat radius, or to help it smoothly return.

We presume two Russian kilo-class submarines near sea areas of Hawaii, they launch 20 caliber cruise missiles strike Los Angeles in June 2026.

In the ocean distance to Los Angeles 1900 kilometers three MQ25A Unmanned refuel aircraft join these cruise missiles clusters.

The first arrival cruise missile release a scout drone from it warhead . For observe the damage effects as missiles hit the buildings.

Continue: why hornet drone equip with a gas analyzer? Because it collect the gas example from smoke after target building collapse, and analyse gas for sure this building and warehouse store chemical weapons or not.
If necessary, hornet install a nuclear radiation detector.




One cruise missile rush to target building1: the headquarters of United States National guard.
Target2 : The weapons depot of 25th infantry division.

Hornet drone use gas analyzer collect the gas example from smoke after warehouse wreck!
