Look at the first hit !! It hits under water.
Why don't they upgrade Moskit with a better range and absorbing radar paint?
It was able to counter AEGIS when it was designed and today it's the same AEGIS on the US destroyers so an upgraded Moskit will be a good weapon against US and Japanese destroyers.
And it has the best design of all the antiship missiles, it is pretty dissuasive.
I have also some questions:
1) Can you tell aproximative prices of each russian anti ship missiles and some western to make comparison ?
2) If the Kh-35 is programmed to hit the target from behind, will it be harder for the target's radar to detect it ? For exemple on the steregushchy presentation video I've seen on YouTube, there was a part of the structure behind the radar. Can this make the detection harder ? Moreover most of ships have very bad defences at the rear , no missiles, no canons, no gatling guns.
3) And why western navys use subsonic, not really stealth missiles?
4) Can you employ Iskander-M against aircraft carrier ? I know taht they can be re-programmed durring flight against manoeuvring targets so with GPS/GLONASS guidance and optic guidence at the end it would be a very usefull weapon. 500 Km range is enough because in a war the carrier must be close to the battlfield as the F-18 doesn't have a long range. What the you think ?
