PYTHON5 Missile.

Missile : PYTHON5.

Hey! guy's this is CB bloggerz corner. Today I gonna talk about the recently tested missile

python -5 which will definitely shake the whole world this missile had been tested in INDIA as per the

DRDO information. In this article we are going to enfold the following points:

1.MISSILE CARRIER 2.IT'S SPECIFICATIONS

3.IT'S GENERATION AND RANGE
4.IT'S DEVELOPMENT 5.IT' FEATURES
6.IT'S GUIDANCE AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM

Lets start....

• MISSILE CARRIER :

LCA Aircraft Tejas

India’s Indigenous Light Combat Aircraft Tejas has added capability of firing Israeli-origin Python-5

air-to-air missile (AAM) after successful tests that concluded on Tuesday. The missiles were fired from

Tejas aircraft of Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) flown by Air Force test pilots belonging to

National Flight Test Centre.

• ITS SPECIFICATIONS :

PYTHON5 MISSILE

Mass- 103.6 kilograms (228 pounds 6 ounces) Length- 3.1 meters (10 feet) Diameter- 160 millimeters(6.3 inches) Warhead- 11 kg (24 LB 4 oz) Detonation mechanism- proximity Engine- solid fuel rocket motor Wingspan- 640 mm (25 in) Operational range- >20 kilometers (12 miles)
Flight altitude- N/A Maximum speed- Mach 4

• IT'S GENERATION AND RANGE :
  
  

Rafael Advanced Defense

Python-5 is a fifth generation air-to-air missile (AAM) manufactured by Rafael Advanced Defense

Systems. It is the newest member in the range of Python AAMs. The missile can engage enemy aircraft

from very short ranges and near beyond visual range. Python-5 is the most accurate and reliable AAM

of the Israeli Air Force and one of the most sophisticated guided missiles in the world.

• IT'S DEVELOPMENT :

The development on the Python-5 began in the 1990s. The missile was unveiled for the first time during

the Paris Air Show in June 2003. The missile demonstrated superior target detection and tracking

capabilities during the developmental and operational test program, involving captive carry evaluation

and homing trials.

The first operational kill by Python-5 was in August 2006 during the Lebanon War.

Lebanon War Place

The missile was fired from an F-16.

Fighting Falcon and destroyed an Iranian-made Ababil-T UAV launched by the Hezbollah. In October 2012,

a Python missile launched from an F-16I fighter of the Israeli Air Force successfully intercepted an

Iranian-made unmanned aerial vehicle intruding into Israeli air space. The Israeli Air Force plans to arm the Lockheed Martin F-35 LIGHTNING 2 fighters with Python-5 missile

• IT'S FEATURES :

Full sphere launch envelope from very short to beyond visual ranges.

Target Lock-On-Before and After Launch capability (LOBL & LOAL Modes). Acquisition of even small, low signature targets in lookdown, adverse background and cloudy environments. Fifth-generation imaging seeker with extremely high off-boresight capability.

• IT'S GUIDANCE AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM :

Electro-optical infrared seeker

Python-5 features a new electro-optical infrared seeker with high off-boresight capability.

The infrared seeker scans the target area for the threat and locks-on for terminal chase after the target

is identified. It employs a dual waveband focal plane array (FPA). The FPA ensures the attainment of small,

low signature aim-points during day or night in clear and cloudy conditions. The highly advanced image

and signal algorithms guide the missile towards the target.Python-5 is also equipped with lock-on-before

launch (LOBL) and lock-on-after launch (LOAL) capabilities. In LOAL mode, the target information is

transmitted from the launch aircraft to the missile. The missile offers a high hit probability and excellent resistance to countermeasures.

It can even engage targets capable of performing evasive manoeuvres.

The full sphere launch capability allows 360° engagement around the launch aircraft.

The all-aspect / all-direction attack ability ensures the simultaneous destruction of multiple targets.

India 💪 Israel
