LBR-3
The LBR-3 is a Laywenranian tactical air-to-surface missile with a range of 10 km. Development started in the early 50s, the prototype was based on the LLR-4 air-to-air missile. As the proximity fuse was replaced by a simple impact fuse, the gained space could be used for a larger warhead. The resulting weapon used the body and propulsion systems of an LLR-4 but increased the warhead from 13 kg to 100 kg. This had the big advantage of allowing the new weapon to be fitted to any aircraft capable of firing the LLR-4. The LBR-3 was guided by Radio command guidance and entered service in 1963. Due to continuous upgrades, it still stays in service with the Armed Forces, only recently being superceded. The LBR-3M introduced a modular seeker head, enabling a variety of seekers to be fitted in the field on the same missile body depending on the mission at hand. Thanks to an improved engine it also has an increased range of roughly 30 km.

MFK-5
The MFK-5 was the first Laywenranian nuclear submarine-launched ballistic missile to enter service. It was powered by a two-stage solid-fuel rocket. The missile was ejected from its launch tube using high-pressure steam produced by a solid-fueled boiler. The main rocket motor ignited automatically when the missile had risen approximately 10 metres above the submarine. Introduced in 1970.

LBR-23
With the advent of new helicopter types, the Armed Forces were in dire need of a non-wire-guided helicopter-borne ATGM. The first design work started in 1965, but the missile was only introduced in 1973. Despite a rather troublesome development it quickly showed its capabilities and was upgraded multiple times to counter modern threats and was adopted to be fired from ground vehicles. A significantly lighter variant was introduced for service with the infantry, having a shorter range and lower penetration due to the overall smaller missile. The original system employs radio command SACLOS guidance and a HEAT warhead which is fused when the outer skin of the two-layer nose is crushed into contact with the inside skin.

An intercontinental missile, the MFF-25 had a three-stage solid-fuel boost design with a liquid-fuel post-boost unit carrying up to ten multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle warheads. Like other SLBMs the initial launch was powered by a gas generator in the bottom of the firing tube.

The missile is conventionally shaped, with cruciform wings and control surfaces made from titanium. The two-stage propulsion is notable. On launch, a solid-fuel booster in the tail accelerates the missile to Mach 1.8 and the motor is discarded. Then four air intakes open up and the empty rocket case becomes the combustion chamber of a kerosene-fuelled ramjet, which takes it beyond Mach 4.
The L-130 seeker of the anti-radar version has a unique antenna, an interferometer array of seven spiral antennas on a steerable platform.
Introduced in 1990.
Variants
- ASR-31 - use as an anti-shipping missile, range estimated at about 270km (air-launched). With active jamming-proof radar seeker, inertial guidance system controls flight to the target area. Target designation data can be fed from the carrier facilities and external sources. Increased combat effectiveness due to extreme low-altitude flight (about 3 m over the sea-surface)

Designed to destroy ground-based pulsed-radar and continuous-mode radars.
Length: 4'700 mm
Diameter: 360 mm
Weight: 610 kg
Speed: > Mach 2,4
Range: >120 km

NY-4 Naginata
The NY-4 Naginata missile family is a supersonic missile family which entered service in 2014. Originally designed as a ship - launched anti-ship supersonic missile, the missile was originally designed to target enemy carriers, but later a ground attack version, anti-radiation version and air-launched AShM version appeared. The main design concept of the missile is the incorporation of modular design, allowing mass production of different models with only minimal differences in tooling and equipment.
The missile itself is a two-stage design capable of reaching long ranges and extremely high flight speeds. In the first stage, it flies at a high subsonic speed (Mach 0.9) powered by a four inlet solid fuel booster. Later in the flight, the booster is discarded and the main engine activates, igniting a ramjet, which quickly accelerates the missile to supersonic speed. The main missile can reach speed up to the speed of MACH 3.0. The general length of each version is about 8.05m.
All variants of this missile are equipped with internal guidance system GLONASS. Almost all versions are able of using a terrain reference system as well. In all variants, control and coordination of all electronics are done by a Murakami S98 VLSI chip.
The main targeting system is a dual passive/active multi-band radar suite, which can function in a heavy ECM environment. In addition, the missile can classify targets autonomously using an imagining infra-red system combined with an onboard database. The AShM is equipped with a two-way data link allowing the operators to change course or identify targets in flight, but the land attack version is generally one-way data link.
Variants
- NY-4 - base AShM variant, GLONASS, 2-way-data-link, a range of 300 km, 350 kg warhead, the missile flies at Mach 0,9 for about 240km, then a ramjet ignites and speeds up to Mach 3,0 for about 60km. In addition, the missile can manoeuvre up to 10G to avoid enemy counter-measures.
- NY-43 - Air-to-Surface variant using a one-way data link with a speed of Mach 1,2 utilizing the same two-stage engine, the plane air-launched sub-variant having a range of 1,100 km.
- NY-45 - air-launched anti-radiation missile (ARM) built on basis of NY - 43, with passive guidance and without a data link. The missile is equipped with single passive seeker radar which covers entire frequency spectrum. It has a range of 500 km with a 200 kg warhead and is capable of reaching Mach 2,5 during the later stage. This version is outfitted with an electronic jamming device to provide it with better anti-radar capabilities.
- NY-48 - air-launched AShM with the capability to reach a speed of Mach 5,0 and a range of 400 km. The missile is generally fire-and-forget (NY- 48A), though there is a two-way link version nicknamed NY - 48B. Guided by internal GLONASS, onboard passive/active Multi band radar and image recognition system, the NY-48 carries a powerful 400kg warhead assuring high lethality against any ship type.
