I have been familiar with the existence of the Coyote for awhile and it is good that we need to prepare for something like it at the same time if China sent out a large number of Mig-21 drones or suicide missions against the fleet it could be a problem.
I wonder if the Navy is using the L-39 Albatross for the cruise missle simulation. It would more closely approximate a small speedy cruise missle that the L-29 Delphin.

What’s a kilometer per hour in good old American miles per hour? Author gave us weight conversions. Why not speed too? I hate the metric system.
F-4J Phantoms did a pretty good job simulating the high subsonic anti-ship vampires. It was fun talking to the pilots as you broke their lock. Of course, they had everyone topside hitting the deck.
When I was on an FFG in the mid-80s we shot at old Talos missiles converted to supersonic drones. I think they called them Vandals.
