NPOMash 3M22 Tsirkon Hypersonic Missile

[Josh_TN]

PAC-3 MSE is a particularly maneuverable point defense system, though that is all it would be against something hypersonic. The fact is Ukraine does not a meaningful number of radars and launchers for that target type. More over even older types like Kh-22 have sufficient speed that to the best of my knowledge, they have never been intercepted.

Does the rear booster separate? That forward extension is presumably for underwater launch?

This "hood" orients the missiles in space and protects it from external influences at launch. Not only underwater, but also from the ship and from the ground

Been seeing your concept art and it looks pretty legit. So if true is this similar to our hyfly? Also I am adding this picture I saw someone posted on your forum that I think could add some weight to your speculations.



I could not find the origins of this image but I thought it would help in what you were trying to show with the four intakes.

Are these 3D models available? Id like to try and print some.

Do we know anything more about it’s propulsion after its use in Ukraine?

Are we sure about those mid body wings on the upper section? There is nothing resembling those in the launch video above. there are some folded fins at the bottom of the upper section. Those are maybe even fairly long fins, longer than the fins in the graphic above. but they still look like a single set of fins placed near the bottom quarter of the missile (upper stage) length.

That's what the Boeing X-51 HCM demonstrator looked like when it flew in ~2010 - 2013.
Since then when someone mentions "Scramjet" missile, the X-51 pops into everybody's mind.
Most people don't realize there are many different scramjet intake designs.
I'm pretty sure the Russians copied one of a joint US/AUS Scramjet designs for Tsirkon.
HACM, from what I've read and seen has a very fluid-like flowing conical inlet, like nothing we've seen on any other missile...

I believe the bottom photo is suspected to be NGs HALO submission. Certainly it has nothing to do with HACM, which is RTX.
