| Sightings and Rows of Sophisticated C-Star anti-ship missiles made in South Korea |
International Military - Alutsista a type of anti-ship missile C-Star is a warship by South Korea and is currently one of the best. This is because the C Star anti-ship missile is the main weapon in a row of South Korean warships. It should be noted that currently the C-Star anti-ship missile has been used by the Philippines and Colombia only.
As informed on the missilethreat.csis.org page if the C Star anti-ship missile has been used since the 2005 tab in the South Korean Navy. As a result, until now the C Star anti-ship missile is still being used and there are already many variants.
Starting from the anti-ship missile C-Star version of the submarine SLCM, surface ships to versions launched from the air. It should be noted that the C-Star anti-ship missile is another name for the SSM-700K which is known for its sophistication.
It is from this sophistication that the C-Star anti-ship missile turns out to use advanced technology in its class. reports from navyrecognition.com that the C-Star anti-ship missile uses a high-subsonic turbojet. As a result of this system, the C-Star anti-ship missile also carries an Inertial Navigation and GPS system.
From this array of systems, the C-Star anti-ship missile is useful for guiding towards its target. In addition, the C-Star anti-ship missile uses a radio altimeter to maintain altitude.
Therefore the C-Star anti-ship missile has an active radar used for targeting in the terminal phase. It should be noted that the C-Star anti-ship missile is designed for use in active electronic warfare environments.
Equipped with an active C-Star anti-ship missile, the detection and countermeasure system will be sophisticated in it. From these advanced systems, the C-Star anti-ship missile has a warhead similar to the Harpoon.
Therefore the C-Star anti-ship missile is equipped with an impact or penetration fuse. Later this penetration can make it easier to damage the body or hull of the ship targeted by the C-Star anti-ship missile.
In addition, the C-Star anti-ship missile itself is currently being used on several South Korean flagship warships. Starting from corvettes, frigates, destroyers, submarines to certain fighter jets loaded with C-Star anti-ship missiles. And one of the most advanced defense equipment on a South Korean surface ship from the Sejong The Great class unexpectedly uses a C-Star anti-ship missile.
With the C-Star, South Korea does not depend on anti-ship missile defense systems from abroad. In addition, the C-Star anti-ship missile was made by the South Korean defense industry.
The South Korean defense industry is DAPA, LIG Nex1 and Hanwha Techwin which contribute to the C-Star anti-ship missile. The history of the initial design of the C-Star anti-ship missile has started from 1996-2003.
From this relatively long time, South Korea has succeeded in making the C-Star anti-ship missile as one of the most advanced and reliable defense equipment.
