Analogue Russian "Damn": A new aviation missile was developed in the PRC (video)

There is nothing known about the rocket, but analysts believe that it can reach a hypersonic speed of more than 6 100 km/h. China has developed a new aerobalistic or hypersonic rocket for H-6K bomber. About it reports The War Zone. The novelty was shown on a bombing when landing at Zhuhai Airport to participate in the Airshow China. Outwardly, the rocket is similar to different other missiles. For example, with a Russian hypersonic missile "Dagger" or with a ballistic missile 9m723 from "Iskander".

There is also a similarity to Chinese CM-401 ASBM, which may indicate the creation of a version of ammunition air base. Before that, the rocket existed in the maritime and terrestrial version. In general, the missile profile is characteristic of many other developments. The characteristics of the new rocket are unknown, but if this CM-401, its maximum flight range is more than 290 km. Due to the air launch, the rocket will significantly improve its range.

The final speed of the rocket reaches 4 strokes (4 900 km/h). If it is launched from the aircraft, it can exceed 5 strokes and will be considered hypersonic. There is currently no confirmation that the H-6K rocket is really linked to CM-401. However, it becomes clear that the Chinese H-6K (license copy of the Tu-16) becomes the same side as the B-52 for the US. A machine with a variety of arsenal and long service life.
