Because the missile employs a complex guidance system, low radar signature and a maneuverability that makes its flight path unpredictable, the odds that it can evade tracking systems to reach its target are increased. It is estimated that the missile can travel at mach 10 and reach its maximum range of 2000km in less than 12 minutes. Maneuver? At mach 10? Call me skeptical .

IIRC, ballistic missiles only have the rocket motors firing in the boost phase and then finish arcing up and then fall down on the target with some minimal guidance. There is not going to be much maneuvering.

One would think that the weapon would have to have an active seeker system to hit a moving targat involved because anything flying in close proximity to a carrier used to relay targeting info would be toast.

Is this the next step from the SIZZLER missile?
