Excerpted rom FAS.org:

“The supersonic P-800 Yakhont (Gem) is a ramjet version of P-80 Zubr [SS-N-7 Starbright]....Flight speed varying over the range from M=2.0 to M=2.5 is provided by the kerosene-fueled multi-mode liquid-fuel ramjet...The closest American counterparts, the Tomahawk and Harpoon missiles, are subsonic; the best French antiship missile, the Exocet, has a range of only 45 miles.”

Sounds like a nasty bugger. Hard to know how good the guidance system and resistance to ECM/ECCM are, but I wouldn’t want to have to find out.
