Bastion missile-defense systems, which were recently deployed to the Russian Arctic, have test-fired a supersonic Onyx anti-ship cruise missile for the first time. The launched missile glided above the sea towards a mock target designed to simulate a group of hostile ships in the Laptev Sea.
The P-800 Onyx supersonic anti-ship cruise can travel at a speed of up to 3,180 km/h and engage targets at a range of up to 300 km with a high-low trajectory or 120 km with a low-low flight trajectory.
Syria has this system:

It could be highly effective against the IDF:

Syria got its air defences destroyed early by US, Israel and Co. It took some time before Russia could build up a reasonable reliable system with cover.

What the hell is the plastic covering on the goggles for?
That’s the way that they’re packaged new. So that they don’t get scratched.
Haha. Of course. I thought you modified them in some way. Ie with filtering plastic or something.
A really impressive bit of video.
Agreed, the nose rockets were super neat.
It has an impressive low flight profile of 10m but can it maneuver at all when it closes in on the target to evade anti-missile fire?
did not hit the target :DD
