About This Legitimate ...

 ... question of why 3M22 Zircon approached targets (in the video in the last post) at such a trajectory. If you search in this blog I wrote about it. So, here is demonstration:


As you can see in the picture--any modern missile has several phases and you can play with those phases anyway you need to, depending on the structure and the objectives of you strike. You may continue on phase 3 (flying high) until you reach Phase 7, or you can fly low all the way. It all depends on the type of the target and on the structure of the salvo. Also, all such missiles have all kinds of speed regimes. Take 3M54 Kalibr anti-shipping missile--it flies subsonic most of its 600 + range, but once it approaches the terminal (usually the range of target acquisition which can be anything between 40 kilometers--a radio horizon of most ships to anywhere up to 60-70) it accelerates to M=3 and begins to maneuver violently. 

Zircon can maneuver but it doesn't have to in case of NATO AD which is absolutely incapable of handling high supersonic or TRUE (not some ballistic missile) hypersonic weapons. Let alone salvo of those. Russia merely testing some new approaches to blowing the shit out of remnants of 404 industry and all kinds of personnel (many from the US, UK, Germany, Poland) who are directing terrorist activities from 404 territory. Just to demonstrate what some of these weapons can do, here is Kiev today ...


Ah, wait--it is Moscow today. Sorry;)
