3.5s to reach mach 4.5 from stand still
then a sustainer with an unknown burn time
Aster is a 450kg missile, there is a lot of power in here. Either way, it would be close
They should strap a meteor on a an aster booster

Acceleration is indeed insane. I’m just extrapolating the claimed 100km or so for a ground launched missile to an air launched one. I guess it would more than double it, but it would still fall short of the claimed meteor range
Not like i would know of course, especially since meteor is quite an unknown missile. Just a small precision when it comes to Aster-30 : its claimed range for the B1 block is a vague “>120km”, and the new variant entering service in 2026, B1NT, has a no less vague “around 150km” range : Comment le missile Aster 30 B1NT repoussera les limites de la défense aérienne européenne ? | Ministère des Armées
Maybe, it has the ability to go to 2 nations with one nation getting the production model, realistically it depends on if gaijin figures the prototype is worth adding versus the finished model which only one nation gets. The image youve posted is the finished model of the NASAM HML created by Norway.
It needs a towed radar, realistically it has enough power to tow its own systems but the project was dropped due to lack of interest from the US and money problems. Norway finished the program a few years later since it fits into their military doctrine. Its definitely a neat vehicle and it can mount aim 9X BLK 2

It wouldn’t be in the same class as AIM-174B then
My guess it’s that it’s because of the insane acceleration of the missile. If the main motor was slower burning, then the range would be higher, since from an air launched platform, you don’t need the same pure acceleration.
I guess the AIM174 also features similar modification to the main acceleration charge to get such a high estimated range.
Also, I was completely extrapolating the range and it might end up with more range is we just slapped it to a plane flying Mach 1 at 30000 feet
🇧🇾/🇷🇺 Su-75 ‘Checkmate’ to be Co-produced by Belarus & Russia
- Should see more opportunities for this aircraft to be eventually added in the future when stealth is prevalent.

I can understand Belarus co-producing ground platforms … but 5th gen jet?
Is it more to avert sanctions than just distribute cost?

Pantserwagen M-38
The Pantserwagen M-38 had a respectable armament compared to contemporary German or other armored cars. The main armament, mounted in the turret, consisted of a 37 mm Bofors cannon and a 7.92 mm M.20 machine gun. Additionally, the hull of the vehicle was equipped with two more 7.92 mm M.20 machine guns, one located at the front and the other in the rear.
Each armored car had 60 rounds of 37 mm ammunition, including 40 Armor-Piercing High Explosive (APHE) rounds and 20 High-Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) rounds. The three machine guns had a total of nine magazines with armor-piercing ammunition and 17 magazines with regular ammunition.
The 37 mm Bofors was one of the most advanced anti-tank guns of the late 1930s and was widely used by Poland, Denmark, Finland, and many other countries.
The cannon could fire approximately 10 rounds per minute and had various types of ammunition available for use.
