AA-14 Battle Axe
The most recent Fascian long-range missiles (AA-14 Battle Axe) is similar to and in some respects equal to the American AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles. The AA-14 missile has an active radar finder and a maximim range of 150-170 kilometers (considerably more than AMRAAM) and flies at four times the speed of sound.
The AA-14 has rectangular narrow span wings and a distinctive set of four rectangular control surfaces at the rear. similar to the configuration used on the terminal control fins of the SS-21 'Scarab' and SS-23 'Spider' ballistic missiles. These unique control surfaces feature reduced flow separation at high angles of attack, producing greater aerodynamic moment force than conventional control surfaces. The missile's guidance is inertial with mid-course updates from the launch aircraft, followed by a terminal active radar phase from an acquisition range of about 40 kilometers. Development of the missile is believed to have begun around in 2001.
