Unpractical my ass.Sunburns are cool but unpractical. It's the best anti-ship missile in the world.
Really? One missile weight about 4 tonns. Destroyer of "Sovremenny" class have 2x4 Sunburn launchers. Range 120 km.It takes an entire destroyer sized ship to carry one and has no range, burns all its fuel trying to go so fast. So basically the ship carrying it would be dead long before the weapon became useful. However, if hidden along coast lines good bye whoever is on the recieving end.
If carried by an aircraft (Su-27, Su-33, Su-32FN) range is 250 km.
We never sold them to anyone else. They are too good.The official countermeasure listed for this is "No countermeasure" just too fast. Supposed to be a carrier buster, though would be interesting to see it hit a destroyer. As far as I know only China has these deployed as sea going assets.Last edited by Serb; January 11, 2004, 01:31.Comment

Have a little respect! It was the only picture I could find that wasn't the generic, sub surfacing picture.

You seem to have a problem with multiplying your ranges by 5-6 times.
"48 nm (90 km)
65 nm (120 km) in 3M80E
some sources claim 250 km"
Well, the official sources claim the first. And I was wrong about the platforms carrying it."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.Comment

19 pages! No way I'm gonna read them all, but a thought occured to me.
Hawker Harrier
Its not the most lethal aircraft in the world but it's the only successful VTOL ever built . The Soviets built one that was crap and even the americans havent built one.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

I'll agree it's a deadly missile the EWs (Anti-missile types) call it the "Oh-sh*t" missile.

Like Hell. We were all the way on War footing. The Combined Industrial might of the Western Allies dwarfed the Soviets. It's apperently in the two fighting ideologies.What might? The "might" you had in 1945 in Europe would be easily destroyed by Soviets.
