3M80










The 3M80, SS-N-22 Sunburn NATO-codename, is a supersonic, long range, ship-launched, anti-ship missile designed to penetrate sophisticated ship air defenses. It relies on an inertial navigation system to reach the target area. Once there, the 3M80 employs its active radar seeker to search, detect and lock on the target. It is so fast that the ship's air defenses have only a few seconds to act against the incoming missile. A fewer reaction time maximizes 3M80 missile kill probability. The 3M80 supersonic anti-ship missile has been deployed onboard Soviet destroyers and fast attack boats. It features a cruise speed of Mach 2.2 at low altitude and a maximum speed of Mach 2.5. These anti-ship missiles were intended to penetrate the sophisticated AEGIS weapon system mounted on US cruisers and destroyers.
