    This might be off topic, but what exactly is the difference between a cruise missile and an anti ship missile.
    To be specific, I'm talking about the NSM/JSM that my country is producing. Is it the yield of the warhead? Its ability to maneuver and avoid countermeasures?

    • 2 years ago

      The seeker head, mostly. A lot of antiship missiles have land attack modes or modifications. An antiship missile needs some sort of terminal guidance so it can accurately strike a moving target, land attack missiles commonly use GPS / inertial guidance / TERCOM. Some antiship missiles have smaller warheads (like Harpoon), some have ridiculously large warheads (like Kh-22).

          Not him, but I think there's some altitude optimization going on as well. Some anti-ship missiles are made to fly just above the water level and have as small a signature as possible, while land attack cruise missiles might get better performance from a higher altitude and speed.

            I guess it depends on the missile, but a lot of land attack missiles fly low for the same reason antiship missiles fly low, to avoid air defense and lower reaction time

            I don't know of any land attack missiles that perform terminal bunt and weave maneuvers like an AShM though

            • 2 years ago
              Anonymous

              Yeah but I would imagine anti ship missiles fly even lower, and like you said are more likely to expend fuel on doing dodging maneuvers (which you'll want to optimize for, ideally). In the end, I think a modern regular cruise missile is basically the same thing but simpler and more cost-effective against land targets.

      >cruise missile
      is a term used to describe a long-range missile, that can be land-attack or (rarely) anti-ship. It is most often used in the former context.

      >anti-ship missile
      is any missile specially designed for attacking ships. It can include relatively primitive designs such as the old SS-N-2, or it can be equipped with all kinds of navigational aids, manoeuvreing options, ECM, stealth, etc such as LRASM

      Cruise missiles are very old, mature tech. The guidance tech is also very old and mature. There’s no reason at all to believe current Russian designs are any worse than what we had in the 80s. If your MIC can build 4th-gen fighter jets it can definitely build accurate cruise missiles. If the Kalibr has serious accuracy problems (not reported anywhere afaik) it’s because of missed maintenance cycles, corruption and/or sanctions resulting in substandard part substitutes, etc). There’s no direct reason to believe otherwise.

      >it’s because of missed maintenance cycles, corruption and/or sanctions resulting in substandard part substitutes
      ergo, inferior design

      you can't say "well I designed a superior missile but it sucks because I couldn't get the parts" - that's called wishful thinking

        Not superior, just a normal functioning cruise missile. The fact that Russia puts them on everything, keeps making them in several variants over the years including exports and cloned by China tells me that’s exactly what it is: a functional cruise missile. Besides that it’s had success as an anti-shipping variant "Club" thanks to its supersonic terminal phase feature. It’s the main surface weapon in all the modern PLAAN ships for example. So it must work at least. Ukrainian intel report of 30% accuracy must be a lie.

      I actually think Russian doctrine was based on projection. They thought everyone was as corrupt and incompetent as they were.
      I think they also believed their own propaganda, both pro-Russia and anti-west.

      That was certainly the case after the Soviet Union fell, and they had no idea how to deal with western politicians and diplomats, because they didn't want to make backroom deals.

    The tomahawk cruise missile which first became operational in 1983 looks visibly the exact same as the latest version, but it's virtually not even the same missile. The original one failed regularly due to its relatively primitive navigation system, could not be controlled remotely, and could take hours even days to load a missile with the target and flight path.

    Now, it can do all that have a flight plan loaded and be ready to fire in minutes even send back data to command including pictures later over an area , wait for a target to emerge and be redirected in flight.

      Don't forget the significant RCS reductions. A modern Tomahawk isn't quite a stealth cruise missile but it's RCS was reduced orders of magnitude from the original version. They have greater use of composites especially in the control surfaces, the air scoop was redesigned, and the nose-cone got a duckbill shape to deflect radar, all of which contribute to a frontal RCS, which is tiny. A real stealth cruise missile like the JASSM is much harder to see from all aspects but if a tomahawk is flying directly at you and you don't have other assets around to spot it from above or from the side, you're probably going to find out around the time you explode.

    Soviet Union fell. They were already behind and then there was a 10-20 year black hole in military R&D during which projects were axed, put on hold and forgotten about. Everything new they make nowadays is 80s stuff they upgraded or finally got around to putting in the field. Not even a hyperbole, there might be a couple exceptions I can't think of right now but those are usually low tech adaptation of foreign concepts. It's insane that the Russian AMRAAM equivalent R-77 had been finished in the 80s but it took until 2010s for it to be adopted. Same with Ka-50 and many other things, even Armata and all the vehicles of it's family are a deep fried modification of 80s projects.

    The Cold War stuff appears to have an abysmal success rate. We don’t have a clear picture of the Kalibr except that it was used very heavily in the opening of the war and has been used steadily since. Especially targets in Western Ukraine. Ukraine and NATO only rarely reports on targets being hit, but sometimes these appear in the media (ie, SBU HQ, barracks, military training facilities, etc). Aside from that we know that the Ukrainian MIC has been mostly destroyed but I don’t think it’s been reported how much damage that represents.
