Details
The SS-N-25 “Switchblade” (3M24 Uran) is a short-range, ship-launched, turbofan-powered, single-warhead, surface-to-surface cruise missile developed and manufactured by Russia.
The Zvezda-Strela OKB (now Tactical Missile Corporation) began developing the SS-N-25 “Switchblade” missile in 1983. It was originally intended as a surface-to-surface missile for ship and coastal launch, and an export replacement for the SS-N-2 “Styx” missiles. The ship-launched version is known as the SS-N-25 “Switchblade” (3M24 Uran) and the ground-launched coastal defense version as the SSC-6 “Stooge” (3K60 Bal). An air-launched version, the AS-20 “Kayak” (Kh-35), was added later.
The SS-N-25 “Switchblade” (3M24 Uran) is similar in appearance to the U.S. RGM-84 “Harpoon.” It has four triangular wings at mid-body, and four triangular moving control fins at the rear. The missile is 4.4 m in length, has a body diameter of 0.42 m, and has a launch weight of 630 kg. Midcourse guidance is provided by an inertial navigation system (INS), with an active radar in the terminal phase. The missile is powered by a solid propellant boost motor and a turbofan engine with a cruise speed of Mach 0.8. The missile has a range of 130 km and carries a 145 kg high explosive semi-armor piercing warhead.
Sources indicate that the SS-N-25 “Switchblade” entered service 1993. It is deployed on “Nanuchka 4” (Project 1234.2) class corvettes, modified “Krivak 1” (Project 1135) class frigates, and “Neustrashimy” (Project 1154) and “Gepard” (Project 11661) class frigates. Russia also plans to deploy the SS-N-25 on “Steregushchiy” (Project 20380) class frigates, and to offer the missile for export fitted to “Scorpion” (Project 12300) class corvettes and several classes of fast attack craft. The SS-N-25 is stored and launched from pressurized 3C34 containers, grouped in pairs of four. The export version is known as the 3M24E Uran E.
Russia has also developed an improved version of the SS-N-25 “Switchblade”/ SSC-6 “Stooge” known as the 3M24M. It incorporates GPS or Glonass updates, carries more fuel, and has an increased range of 250 km. Its launch weight is increased to 700 kg, and the missile is believed to be longer than the standard version (perhaps 5.4 m in length). Russia offered this version for export in 1997 as the 3M24E1 version.
The SS-N-25 missile has been exported to India for use aboard Delhi-class destroyers, Kora-class corvettes, Brahmaputra-class frigates, and possibly other craft as well. An initial order for 100 missiles was placed by India in 1997. Also in 1997, Russia exported SS-N-25 missiles to Vietnam for use aboard their Ho-A class fast-attack craft. It was originally believed that Algeria ordered 96 SS-N-25 missiles in 1998, but subsequent reports have suggested that Algeria ordered the air-launched variant AS-20 "Kayak."

General Commander-in-Chief of Myanmar Armed Forces
Min Aung Hlaing basically grew up in the middle of Rangoon. His father U Khin Hlaing, worked as an engineering official for the Government Construction Corporation and they used to live in a large comfortable apartment directly opposite the Central Fire Station on the Sule Pagoda Road in Central Rangoon.
After his matriculation from the Central Boys High in March 1972 he became a Law major student in RASU (Rangoon Arts and Science University). While he was a Third Year Law student and a seasoned Corporal of UTC (University Training Corps) he was admitted into the Intake 19 of DSA (Defense Services Academy) in May Myo (Pyin-oo-lwin Town) in January 1974. He graduated from DSA in December 1977 and became a Second Lieutenant in Myanmar Army.
His early postings as a junior officer and later a mid-ranking officer were mostly in the infantry battalions of famous LID-88 (Light Infantry Division 88). The Divisional Commanding Officer of LID-88 in early 1980s was Colonel Than Shwe who eventually became the Senior General and the Chairman of SLORC (State Law and Order Restoration Council) which was renamed later SPDC (State Peace and Development Council).
Min Aung Hlaing has always had the reputation as a brave fighter and a no-nonsense straight talker. He truly is a battle-hardened warrior of brutal Myanmar Army. He is also a serious scholar and a gentleman too.
He finally became a Brigadier General and the Commanding Officer of LID 44 based in Kyaikhto in Mon State. August 2003 saw him transferred to DSA as the 19th Rector. After three years in DSA he was promoted to a Major General and the CO of Myanmar Army Western Regional Command (Na-pa-kha) controlling the Arakan State bordering Bangladesh.
He was moved to the hot spot of Golden Triangle as the Commanding Officer of Triangle Regional Command in 2008 and eventually promoted in early 2009 to a Lt. General and Chief of the Second Bureau of Special Operations (BSO 2) controlling three Regional Army Commands (Northeastern, Eastern, and Triangle regional military commands).
There he led the successful military operations against the National democratic Alliance Army (NDAA) in the Kokang area of Shan State in August 2009.
He became the acting joint chief of staff of the army, navy, and air force in June 2010 and now he is the General Commander-in-Chief of Myanmar Armed Forces.
War and Fature
Tactics are quickly changing depending upon change of weapons systems. Developments of C3i and C4i command systems and emergence of strategic weapons and tactical weapons greatly impact the current tactics in battle ground. Power of Tactical Missiles determined the war in Georgia - Russia war. The standard of heavy artillery is questionable in such war with Tactical Missiles, Light Infantry Combat Vehicles and Mechanized Armies.
The role of combat and surveillance robots & Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are rising. But, it is still controversial and their role is widely criticized due to high civilian casualties.
