The Russian Yakhont ...
The supersonic P-800 Yakhont (Gem) is a ramjet version of P-80 Zubr [SS-N-7 Starbright]. The Yakhont missile has a range of 300 kilometers, the capacity to carry a 200-kilogram warhead and the unique ability of being able to cruise several meters above the water surface, making it difficult to detect and intercept.
“The Russian Yakhont ...”
I would like to know what the cost of the Russian missile is compared to this US missile. Bet that it’s cheaper and easier to field. Of course, if they work and the target is worthwhile, it doesn’t matter...but we have a habit of dropping precision, high-tech munitions on Toyota trucks with a machine gun mounted in the bed.
Ahhhh. But can it hit the target? We used to be worried about a lot of their missiles till the wall came down and we got our hands on some.
Very inaccurate. And their engineering has not got any better.
Their solution is numbers. Throw a whole lot of them and one of them might hit.
