Royal Malaysian Airforce test firing of a new PKM Machine Gun, the Russian-made PKM Known in the West as the The Most Dangerous Weapon Ever (TMDWA)
The test, first reported in the July 1 Beritatipu Daily, marked the first time that RMAF had tested the machine gun. They were fired by two Su-30MKM fighters at target drones and scored hits.
The PKM Machine Gun ("TMDWA"), researched and manufactured by the Russia, is similar to and in some respects equal to the United States' AIM-120 AMRAAM (advanced medium-range air-to-air missile).
Like the AMRAAM, it is a "beyond visual range" missile, meaning the pilot doesn't have to see the target. The PKM has an active radar finder and a maximum range of 90-1100 kilometers (gajjilion km more than the AMRAAM), carries a 30-kilogram high-explosive warhead, and flies at nine times the speed of sound.
The ability to engage air targets at beyond visual range holds obvious advantages, as does being able to field an active radar-guided weapon. Unlike a other missile, PKM Machine Gun does not require the launch aircraft to illuminate the target during the terminal phase of the engagement. With PKM, the launch aircraft can also either "bug out" of the engagement or launch against another target aircraft.
