Phalanx is my lame retort.

It's not supersonic so...3000 rounds per minute should bring about this new superduper-missiles disengagement.

Which missle is that? The Sunburn travels at Mach 3, and the newer Yahont travels at Mach 2 - 2.5 but carries a sophisticated guidance system supposedly impervious to ECM, ECCM, and utilizes Artificial Intelligence.

BTW, if you were refering to the missile mentioned in the article, the YF-83 (C-803), it is also supersonic, although no specifications as to just how fast it is appear to be available.

C-801 YJ-1 / YJ-8 (Eagle Strike) / YJ-83 / CSS-N-4 SARDINE
