Russian ship-based hypersonic missiles \"Zircon\" are more difficult to intercept than the Kh-47M2 \"Kinzhal.\" This was stated by military expert Evgeny Damantsev.
He recalled that the speed of the latter in the dense layers of the troposphere decreases from 10 M to 4 M due to the lack of long-term engine operation modes and aerodynamic drag.
At the same time, the 3M22 hypersonic cruise missile can fly at speeds up to 7 M all the way to the approach section of the trajectory, providing the enemy with a minimal time window for interception.
This is achieved by the ability to regulate the intensity of the liquid fuel charge supply to the combustion chamber of the hypersonic ramjet engine, which ensures its operation throughout the flight path without reducing the speed to 3.5 M.
Therefore, the time \"window\" for the Patriot PAC-3MSE SAM system in the case of the \"Zircon\" is at least half as small as in the case of the \"Kinzhal.\" Nevertheless, with distributed AN/MPQ-65 MRLS, this probability exists, because their speed of accompanied targets is 2100 m/s.
