What is the overall performance of Xuanwu-3C?

According to Korean data, Xuanwu-3C cruise missile is 6m long, 53cm to 6cm in diameter and weighs 1.5t. It uses jet engine for aircraft, and its speed is below 1,3km/h, its warhead weighs about 45kg, and the accuracy error of hitting the target is 1m to 2m. Compared with the basic type of Tomahawk, Xuanwu-3C is larger and heavier, which should be the result of increasing fuel and pursuing long range. The hit accuracy of Korean media propaganda has reached 1 meter to 2 meters, which has approached the accuracy limit of cruise missiles. Considering the advanced guidance system comprehensively, it should belong to exaggerated propaganda aimed at deterring North Korea. According to the hit rate of American Tomahawk BLOCK3 missile in the war of about 8% and the cone probability error of about 5 meters, Xuanwu-3C should not exceed this level.

Through the analysis of aerodynamics, power and guidance system, "Xuanwu-3C" should belong to a relatively traditional land-launched long-range cruise missile. Its basic target is deep in North Korea, but it needs precise strike. This is quite different from the idea of "tactical tomahawk" that emphasizes multi-task and attacking real-time targets. Comparing "Xuanwu-3C" with "Tactical Tomahawk" is a dislocation in itself. This is actually a bluff of the Korean media's pursuit of advanced and not understanding the essence.

Due to the agreement between the United States and South Korea on the export of weapons and the consideration of the situation on the Korean Peninsula, the United States is unwilling to sell obvious offensive weapons such as Tomahawk cruise missiles to South Korea in a big way. However, in the face of South Korea's demand for long-range strikes and the temptation of economic benefits, the United States and South Korea are likely to choose a cooperation mode called "South Korea's development", which is actually "arranged by the United States". Specifically, the South Korean military established a long-range cruise missile model, and then a South Korean company contracted to develop the project. Specific missile designs, components, tests, materials and even finished products are imported from the United States or directly purchased.

"Xuanwu-3c" needs high-precision inertial navigation devices, high-pixel imaging guidance devices, high-performance turbofan engines for missiles and even long-range cruise missiles, which South Korea cannot provide in the short term or even in the long term. According to the operational requirements of South Korea, directly importing the finished Tomahawk BLOCK3 missile is the fastest and most effective solution. Faced with the situation that it is impossible to import, it is an alternative to purchase and introduce the finished components and technical data of Tomahawk BLOCK3, assemble and produce them in Korea, and label them as "independently developed". In this way, South Korea can not only publicize its strong national defense scientific research capabilities, but more importantly, it is equipped with advanced offensive weapons and equipment that cannot be imported. For the United States, in addition to earning a technology transfer fee, it secretly equipped its strategic allies with weapons that were actually developed by itself. Why not do it?

While bluffing about the cruise missile that actually uses the core technology of the United States, the South Korean media also mentioned that South Korea has thus become the fourth country in the world to independently develop a cruise missile with a range of 1,5 kilometers after the United States, Russia and Israel. Some media even claimed that the technical level and operational performance of Xuanwu-3C surpassed that of similar products in China. This has to be said that it once again shows the lack of confidence of the Korean media and the whole nation.

Let's leave aside the secret relationship between Israel's self-developed cruise missiles and the United States. It is basically a pipe dream for South Korean cruise missiles to surpass or reach the development level of China cruise missiles. I don't know why the Long Sword 1 cruise missile, which attracted the world's attention as early as the National Day military parade in China in 29, was intentionally ignored by the Korean media. As far as the guidance mode is concerned, since the potential war targets in China are separated from China by the sea, terrain matching guidance technology cannot be adopted, so it is very likely that the most advanced integrated scheme of high-precision inertial navigation+bidirectional data link or video data link+Beidou navigation+imaging terminal guidance is directly adopted for Sword 1. On the experimental video of the Long Sword 1 cruise missile revealed on the Internet not long ago, the Long Sword 1 cruise missile hit the target's cross bull's-eye basically without error after a long-range attack of thousands of kilometers. More importantly, China has developed advanced long-range cruise missiles based entirely on its national defense industry. South Korea's national defense industrial capacity, which is called autonomy, is actually just an "assembly factory". Compared with China, it is not an order of magnitude at all.
