“If a target executes a near-90-degree turn, the missile can still correct its trajectory.”

"The first stage manages the mid-course flight. It plans an efficient trajectory that preserves speed and energy.

The second stage governs the terminal phase. It focuses on fine adjustments during the final seconds before impact."

“Simulations suggest it can engage fighter jets or drones more than 20 km, or 12 miles, away.”

…so, a rain of small semi-intelligent homing missiles coming from 20km away with 7+ km/s !

I bet they already have prototypes ready, but the news alone should ensure terminal pressure on US proxies wanting to ‘show off’ to their masters…
