in your encyclopedia I see that the C-701 missile is mentioned for the J10, if we can make a report to implement the C-701KD in the J10 it will increase the multirole aspect of the device and will be a great victory for us to have more Chinese weapons
C-701KD variant with Electro-Optical seeker
in your encyclopedia I see that the Yj-7 / C-701 missile (export version) is mentioned for the J10, if we can make a report to implement the C-701KD in the J10 it will increase the multirole aspect of the sets sail and will be a great victory for us to have more Chinese weapons
stats similar to AGM-65
Is it 100% confirmed C-701 be utilized to target ground units?
I’m having bad flashbacks of Japan’s GCS-1 IR guided bomb being refused because the dev reasoning was that it can only target large IR signatures for ships but not ground targets, even though evidence suggests otherwise.
yes the C-701 can target ground units, the C-701 has interchangeable heads, it has a T and KD head which are Electro-Optical seekers
25 km range, speed of M0.8 for a weight of 117 kg with an included load of 30.5 kg HEAT
I made a report in my previous post with the missile information
Because that spec sheet is for Anti ship variant. Most anti ship missiles use SAPHE warhead. Air launched one probably has HEAT warhead as its more efficient against ground targets.
The C-701 anti-ship uses SAPHE but for the T and KD version this is not indicated, the C-701 only has 30.5 kg which may appear but explosive is used, I remind you: (AGM-65, composition B explosive 39 kg for 830 mm pen) - (AKD-10, HTA explosive 5.21 kg for 1 400 pen!!!)
find the type of explosive to use in the T/KD version
It doesn’t really matter that much for Mavericks cause Mavericks considered explosive content the secondary kill shot although most things die to the explosion rather than the pen :D.
