PAF FA-50PH Aircraft hits former BRP Caliraya with Maverick Missile

Powered by RedCircle

Just some nice Picture and Footages of an FA-50PH Fighting Eagle Aircraft of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) hitting the decommissioned and former BRP Lake Caliraya (AF-81) of the Philippine Navy (PN) with an AGM-65G2 Maverick Missile. 

From one of the Videos, we can see how the FA-50PH went into a slight Dive before launching the Maverick Missile, and then recovering into Level Flight after the Missile was launched. 

The AGM-65G2 weighs 306 kg, has an Imaging Infra-Red (IIR) Guidance System and has a range of at least 22 km. It also has a 136 kg Penetrating Blast Fragmentation (PBF) Warhead that is also effective against Ships. 

The Footage of the ex-BRP Caliraya seems to have been taken from another FA-50PH, you can see what looks like part of its Airframe on some Frames of the Video.
