A visual comparison of the speed characteristics of the domestic medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) "Oreshnik" with other similar hypersonic missiles has appeared online. The video also includes an analysis of the characteristics of the Russian air- and sea-based "Kinzhal" and "Zircon" missiles, respectively.
Oreshnik MRBM
The combat units of the Oreshnik MRBM complex travel to the target along a low-trajectory flight path at altitudes within 150 km. As a result, they reach a speed of 13,475 km/h, which corresponds to 12M.
When the warhead separates and descends below 80 km, the Oreshnik combat units, even with a partial decrease in speed to 10M due to aerodynamic drag, become unreachable for the SM-3 anti-missiles and the Patriot PAC-3 SAM systems with maximum target engagement speeds of about 7.5M.
Kh-47M2 Kinzhal
The maximum speed of the Kinzhal in the final section of the flight can reach 11,000 km/h (10M). With an average approach speed of 4,500 km/h on approach, the missile can perform anti-aircraft maneuvers with overloads of up to 25G, and is also likely equipped with a centimeter-wave electronic warfare system.
3M22 Zircon
The 3M22 Zircon hypersonic missile accelerates to 11,000 km/h (10.35 Mach) in the upper layers of the stratosphere (30 - 35 km). Thanks to the continuous operation of the ramjet engine, the speed from 9 to 11 thousand km/h can be maintained for most of the trajectory. But at altitudes below 10 km, when approaching targets, it can decrease to 4 - 5M due to the same drag.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the manufacturer of advanced missiles for Su-57 fighters will expand production.
