This apparently is the extended-range round for the 130mm gun found on both 052D and 055 destroyers. Specifically, it utilizes folding canards to glide toward targets. With the canards retracted, the range is between 70 and 80km; with canards deployed, the range is over 100km. Terminal guidance is achieved via passive-laser or satellite/inertial navigation.

Without the wings deployed it will not reach more than 40Km.

Don't shoot the messenger.

And frankly the casual way in which you are essentially dismissing that graph is not particularly respectable either. If you feel skeptical to the claim that it is making then just say so.

Getting so needlessly personal regardless of how good a point that you make means other people are just going to retaliate against you.

I think it is not worth getting another warning or even banned over this.

As irritating as certain members can be, I think it isn't worth counter trolling them given the way in which some of the moderating team may interpret this altercation.
Of course, I don't say that to everyone but your photo posts to the forum are more worthwhile than most.

Oohh, boy not even going through the link I provided it seems.
You guys really needs to get some knowledge about before you make comments since it makes you look so stXpid to the ones who had taken the time to browse through the link.
The chart show the projectile with the wings open after leaving the muzzle not after apex point.
The projectile would not have reached that height without the wings.

Use some common sense, if a projectile without wings from a ship gun is able to reach 70 Km then there will be no use for rail guns in the first place.

On the contrary, it is you who either needs a dose of common sense or better reading comprehension, or both. Do you know what the word 'apparently' means? And do you know what canards are in aeronautical terms? It's ok if English is your second language.

Let me help you read better

The projectile has both retractable canards AND tail fins
