The P-800 Oniks (Russian: П-800 Оникс; English: Onyx), also known in export markets as Yakhont (Russian: Яхонт; English: ruby or sapphire), is a Russian/Soviet supersonic anti-ship cruise missile developed by NPO Mashinostroyeniya as a ramjet version of P-80 Zubr. Its GRAU designation is 3M55. Development reportedly started in 1983, and by 2001 allowed the launch of the missile from land, sea, air and submarine. The missile has the NATO reporting codename SS-N-26. It is reportedly a replacement for the P-270 Moskit, but possibly also for the P-700 Granit. The P-800 was reportedly used as the basis for the joint Russian-Indian supersonic missile the BrahMos.

In 2010 Sergei Prikhodko, senior adviser to the Russia President, has said that Russia intends to deliver P-800 to Syria based on the contracts signed in 2007.[1][2] Syria received 2 Bastion missile systems with 36 missiles each (72 in total).[3] In May 2013, Russia continued the contract delivery to the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad supplying missiles with an advanced radar to make them more effective to counter any future foreign military intervention. [4][5]

Description

The missile is carried in flight by aerodynamic lift. The solid-propellant booster is located in the ramjet's combustion chamber and is ejected by the airflow after it has burned out.

Standard batteries of the K-300 Bastion-P(Бастион-П-Подвижный):

  • 4 self-propelled launchers K-340P with 2 missiles "Yakhont" (crew of 3 persons)
  • 1-2 Command and Control vehicles (ASBU) PBRK (crew of 5 persons)
  • 1 car security alert (MOBD)
  • 4 Transportation and loading vehicle (TLV K342P)

Specification

  • Length: 8.9 m
  • Diameter: 0.7 m
  • Wingspan: 1.7 m
  • Weight: 3100 kg
  • Speed at altitude: 750 m / s (Mach 2.6)
  • Surface speed: Mach 2
  • Range:
  • for the combined trajectory (the length of the final section 40 km) - 300 km
  • for low-altitude trajectory - 120 km
  • flight altitude of 10-14000m
  • warhead 250 kg
  • period of storage 7 years[6]

Radar homing head.

  • active-passive, with frequency hopping
  • Immunity: high, from active spoofing, dipole clouds
  • range 50 km [7]

Variants

  • Oniks Base version for Russia
  • Yakhont export version of Oniks
  • Brahmos version for India, co-developed by Russia and India, based on Oniks, produced under license by BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited in India.
  • Bastion-P Coast mobile missile system
