Russia’s Onyx supersonic cruise missile, which has frequently struck Ukrainian targets, is slated to get deadlier with a new target seeker.
About Onyx Missile:
The P-800 Onyx, a supersonic medium-range cruise missile, is designed to combat surface ship groups, as well as to destroy ground targets in conditions of strong fire and electronic countermeasures.
Features:
Also known as Russian Brahmos, it can reach speeds of over 3,000 km/h, making it extremely difficult to intercept.
Additionally, the missile operates at an altitude of 10-15 meters above land or water, further enhancing its stealth capabilities.
The missile has a range of up to 300 kilometers in its default trajectory and a range of 120 km in a low-altitude trajectory.
It can be launched from surface ships, submarines and land-based equipment. It is a self-guided munition, designed with the "shoot and forget" principle in mind.
Unlike some other missiles that rely on extensive target data, the Onyx missile requires minimal informationabout its target to strike it successfully.
