Russian 3M22 Tsirkon Hypersonic Missile

[Josh_TN]

PAC-3 MSE is a particularly maneuverable point defense system, though that is all it would be against something hypersonic. The fact is Ukraine does not a meaningful number of radars and launchers for that target type. More over even older types like Kh-22 have sufficient speed that to the best of my knowledge, they have never been intercepted.

Does the rear booster separate? That forward extension is presumably for underwater launch?

This "hood" orients the missiles in space and protects it from external influences at launch. Not only underwater, but also from the ship and from the ground

Been seeing your concept art and it looks pretty legit. So if true is this similar to our hyfly? Also I am adding this picture I saw someone posted on your forum that I think could add some weight to your speculations.



I could not find the origins of this image but I thought it would help in what you were trying to show with the four intakes.
