Default Russian tsirkon missile hits at Mach 7

"According to objective control data, the Tsirkon missile made a direct and a successfully hit on the target at a range of over 350 km. The flight speed was about 7 Mach."

Not much chance to defend against this

AFAIK Bezos wanted it to replace the pneumatic letter shoot system at Amazon headquarters, but the unions prevented it, refering to increased workload for staff if working orders reached them at this high speed and frequency.

With China the way they are it would be nice if Russia and the US were to become allies!

DL-ZF. First flight 2014. Mach 10. Designed to destroy aircraft carriers. Can carry nuclear warheads. Range between 2500 and 3000 nm. Several successful tests. Wikipedia says its in service since probably 2016.

The main obstacle for the Chinese is not to destroy US carrier groups, they can do that already. To detect and pinpint them for the targetting - that is the thing. But no problem they cannot solve. Carriers and their escorts are neither invisible across the spectrum of light and radar, nor silent to sonar. Plus there are satellites.

My apologies, I should have added a smiley to accentuate the intended sarcasm.

Maybe it does not hurt so much losing ugly ones.
