[Iron_physik 3,483]

after todays update all sidewinder models saw a change in mass and explosive filler.

the AIM-9D however is not quite correct when it got changed to 2.76kg (6lbs) PBXN-3

 

 

in the real AIM-9D it is 6.5lbs (2.95kg) HMX

OP-3352 AIM-9D Guided missile

Spoiler

 

 

HMX has a RE factor of 1.7

so the total TNT equivalent should be 5kg

Hi, 

 

OP-3352 AIM-9D

 

 

The warhead of the AIM-9D is Mk.48.

 

Proposed Sale to Kuwait of Air-to-air Missiles: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on International Political and Military Affairs of the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, Ninety-fourth Congress, First Session, October 24, 1975

 

 

Explosives of Mk.48 warheads are PBNX-3 historically accurate.  

 

Kind Regards

Hi,

 

Reopened, I checked the description of the Mk.48 mod 0 warhead. 

 

Can you provide additional information about the MK.48 warhead?

 

Kind Regards
