What are the odds that the size of the ALBM are making the Russian developers of the AS-24 Killjoy feel "Inadequate"In your face, Khinzal. That thing make you look like a firework rocket.
Ha ha like Lord Fuckwad... Farquaad in Shrek, trying to "compensate something" with his enormous Duloc Castle.

Get your mind out of the gutter… it was his height![]()
It's big, but I don't think it is DF-21 big. It looks like something more aerodynamic that was customized to this role.That's a big missile there.
I'm curious how much range increase can be expected from launching from this platform.
I think it's more to help it cover a bigger foot print. Realistically speaking, the odds of it encountering air-defense threats over the Pacific are slim.Let's admit that the h-6, is less survivable than the Mig-31. That it has to launch from farther away (and then carry a far bigger missile) should not surprise anyone.
Yup. It is not conformally recessed to cut some drag out of it. Instead it sticks like a sore thumb. What's more, they deleted the bomb bay on that H-6K variant (AFAIK).I suspect the H-6N's range suffers quite a bit from the load and drag of that weapon.
CM-401?
A Chinese Killjoy (NATO codename for the Khinzal)? Would NATO's alphanumeric designation for the Killjoy be the AS-24?

Not sure what this post has to do with the Kinzhal Besides being a similar system …
CM-401 is significantly smaller.
Possibly at a glance.It's got the same shape though.

Seems to be pretty official, as this was from the United Kingdom MoD www earlier this week.

Source at Sino Defence Forum says that the new Chinese air-launched ballistic missile is based on M20. Seems that there is very similiar shape & also dimensions.
Please, remind me why is there a split ramp in the intakes? Or is this just a structural bracing?
I found out a few days ago that the latest version of the H-6 has had its' Bombay deleted (No doubt allowing it to carry a lot more fuel).
I think all the modern build H-6s (K/J/N) delete the bomb bay in favor of fuel. They are strictly stand off missile platforms.
