AIST cruise missile - latest development of the Belarusian State Military Industrial Committee.[1] The cruise missile is a high precision short-range subsonic cruise missile developed in close cooperation with Ukrainian[2] and Chinese[3] experts.
Overview
The likeliest missile launcher for the cruise missile Aist is supposed to be the universal multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) Polonez,[4] based on a wheeled chassis MZKT-7930 Astrolog.
Vehicles of this type are widely used as a platform for a number of weapon systems, mainly those produced in Russia. Belarusian 4x4 wheeled chassis, in particular, are used as a platform for the Russian Iskander short-range ballistic missile system and the Pakistani Hatf VII Babur cruise missile.
The ground chassis will comprise all the necessary components of a combat and launcher-loader vehicle. Each combat vehicle will mount two or three missiles.
Aist cruise missile is equipped with a turbofan engine for subsonic cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles MS-400 produced by the Ukrainian enterprise Motor Sich. The Chinese DF-10 (CJ-10) cruise missile as well as the Pakistani Hatf VII Babur cruise missile are also equipped with this type of engine.
