Missiles for PAK FA being tested

摘要

Russia's PAK FA fifth-generation fighter will be armed with a new generation of weapons, some with improved engines increasing range by 150-200%, and others modified with a folding control surface reflecting the internal carriage requirements of the fighter's stealth design, according to Boris Obnosov, the general director of the Tactical Missile Corporation open joint-stock company. These will be ready by the time the aircraft's SukhoiT-50 prototypes have completed flight testing and are ready to carry out weapons integration testing, he predicted. The missile armament of the PAK-FA will include the Kh-58UShK anti-radiation missile (ARM), a new version of the Kh-58 (AS-11 'Kilter") that is shorter than the original missile and modified for internal carriage. At AirshowChina 2014, the Kh-58UShK was being promoted as an armament option for China's J-31 stealth fighter and for an unspecified Russian unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV).
