Performance

Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.

Max speed (Mach)

Maximum speed as a multiple of the speed of sound. Mach 2+ is typical for air-superiority fighters.

0.9 Mach
Stronger than 31% of missiles
Range

Maximum distance: ferry range for aircraft, operational range for vehicles, maximum engagement distance for missiles. Higher means more standoff or persistence.

200 km
Stronger than 50% of missiles

Firepower

Armament, payload and guidance.

Warhead

Warhead mass. Heavier generally means larger effect radius, at the cost of range.

165 kg
Stronger than 47% of missiles
Warhead type

Blast-fragmentation, shaped charge (HEAT), penetrator, thermobaric or nuclear-capable.

Semi-armor-piercing high-explosive
Guidance

How the weapon finds its target: inertial, GPS/GLONASS, active/semi-active radar, infrared, laser, TV, wire.

Inertial navigation, Active radar homing terminal

Physical

Dimensions, weight and crew.

Length

Overall length including gun/probe where applicable.

6.39 m
Combat weight

Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.

800 kg

Propulsion

Engine, power and fuel.

Propulsion type

Turbofan, turboshaft, diesel, gas turbine, solid-fuel rocket, ramjet…

Turbojet with solid rocket booster
