“Its warheads are supersonic and change their course all the time.”

Would love to learn how they pull that trick off. Are they piloted? Do they have thrust on board?

If they are, I would say they have some rather dumb pilots. Kind of reminds me of Slim Pickens. 😀

They would have to have thrust on board. I noticed the missile weight dropped from 120 tons to 80 tons. Makes you wonder where they put the reaction mass.

It is likely a paper missile.

I could see pop out winglets/control surfaces, deployed after reentry.

I don't know, but it may be like the zig-zagging of a naval vessel, computer controlled of course to be fairly random. It would create some misses I'm sure.
