Not sure buddy, but this launch was from a frigate. My assumption is that it's dimensions may be similar to onyx.
If it's similar to brahmos , we may achieve a 3 ton hypersonic for ourselves too

Can anyone explain why this kind of extension is missing in hstdv , while waverider and zircon both use it for reducing air flow loss and boundry payer effect .


Isn't it gonna hamper our missile performance

1. Hypersonic > 1715 m/s
2. This missile 3000-5000 m/s, mach 10-17
3. Designed to neutralize even ICBMs
4. New composite fuel that allows hypersonic velocities
5. Tested Nov 2017 & Feb 2018 in Kazakhstan
6. 2000 kms range


A split second footage was removed and fast forwarded here.
Don't think so. It's posted at that speed by Russian media. Please see the larger clip here:


Most likely, it was the PRS-1M. A laudatory 2018 article in Russian news site Gazeta.ru describes it as being part of the A-135 short-range missile defense system. The article refers to the 2017 test of a new missile—an upgrade of the older T6 interceptor—with a detachable rocket-steered warhead.

“In the past, the T6 flew several times faster than a bullet and gained a speed of more than 3 kilometers (1.86 miles) per second in a matter of seconds, being the fastest missile in the world. In the modernized version, its speed was close to four kilometers (2.5 miles) per second.” Gazeta also suggested the PRS-1M could withstand 300 G of force at launch, compared to 200 G for the previous anti-missile interceptor and just 9 G for the old SA-2 anti-aircraft missile.

“In the new product, the height and range of the kill zone increased almost one and a half times,” Gazeta.ru said. “Now the interception of the warheads of the enemy’s intercontinental ballistic missiles is confidently carried out at a height of much more than 50 kilometers (31 miles).”
They are comparing it to an American missile that went up to mach 10 in 5 seconds.

It is Hypersonic from the moment of launch.
Seriously bahi 🤯 this is mind-blowing.
How is it possible

The sheet amount of energy/force will it have to come through that too at sea level.

Damn! Seems like ruskies have transcended to a level where they r able to overcome plasma and that too from all the way!!

"It will strengthen the security of the capital of Russia"
The seventh launch of the new 53T6M anti-missile missile has been carried out in Russia

At the beginning of December 2018, at the Saryshagan test site, another test launch of the modernized PRS-1M anti-missile missile was carried out. The tests, according to the statement of the military department, were successful - the product hit the conditional target at the exact time. The new anti-missile missile is much faster and more deadly than its predecessor. What the PRS-1M is now capable of is in our material.
On December 4, 2018, an upgraded PRS-1M anti-missile missile system of the A-135 missile defense system near Moscow was launched for the seventh time from site No. 35 of the Saryshagan test site. The launch was carried out at a pre-emptive point. The measuring complex of the test site recorded minimal misses, and the tests at the Ministry of Defense were considered successful.

In order to test the A-135 anti-missile defense system near Moscow at the Saryshagan training ground, the Amur-P multichannel firing complex (ISSK) was deployed, which, in fact, is a shortened version of the A-135 missile defense system near Moscow.

The complex includes spatially spaced at a distance of up to 100 km means - a multifunctional radar (MRS) "Don-2NP" and a command and computing center (KVP) 5K80P with a computing system "Elbrus", launch positions of short-range intercept missiles with a mine-based, technical position for the preparation of PR and the data transmission and communication system 5Ya67.

"Amur-P" is deployed at sites No. 7, 8, 35, 6/52 of the 10th missile defense test site. Anti-missile missiles are launched directly from site number 35.

"Don-2NP" with large-sized phased antenna arrays represents one facet of the "Don-2N" radar near Moscow, deployed near the town of Sofrino.

Don-2NP (the last letter means polygon) is capable of solving the tasks of detecting, tracking targets and interceptors, transmitting commands to interceptors and receiving information from them.

From the ISSK Amur, PRS-1M short-range interceptor missiles are launched, made according to a single-stage scheme with a detachable controllable head stage (developed by the Novator Design Bureau).

Modernization was inevitable
The PRS-1M anti-missile is an atmospheric high-speed short-range anti-missile of the A-135 missile defense system. In July 1979, at site number 35, the first throw-in launch of the PRS-1 short-range interceptor missile was made. The first launch of the 53T6 rocket in a closed control loop took place in July 1981, and already on June 18, 1982, two anti-missiles, launched from site number 35, intercepted RSD-10 ballistic missiles (launched from the Kapustin Yar test site) and an R-29 ballistic missile launched from the strategic missile submarine cruiser of the Northern Fleet.

On February 17, 1995, the A-135 missile defense system was adopted by the Russian Armed Forces.

All 53T6 antimissiles (over 100 units) for the A-135 system were manufactured back in Soviet times. After the collapse of the USSR, their production was stopped. In the early and mid-2000s, tests at the Saryshagan test site were carried out in fact with one goal - to extend the service life of antimissiles.

The next product was removed from a mine near Moscow, sent to the landfill, where it was shot. Based on the results of successful tests, an act was drawn up, which determined the possibility of extending the service life of the PRS-1M.

However, this process could not continue indefinitely. Sooner or later, either the anti-missile missiles would end, or their period of being on combat duty would finally end.

Since 2010, Almaz-Antey has resumed production of solid-propellant rocket engines for 53T6 interceptor missiles. On December 20, 2011, the first launch of PRS-1M with a new engine was carried out. Then the cooperation of the concern's co-executors began to resume the mass production of interceptor missiles as a whole.

Faster, higher, more powerful
On November 23, 2017, a completely new product took off from site number 35. In appearance, this is the 53T6 anti-missile missile of the previous version, whose body is made of high-strength steels using winding from composite materials with conical solid fuel charges of a specific shape and which has a detachable controlled warhead with gas-dynamic steering engines.

Now, the anti-missile missile has a new engine, onboard equipment based on a modern electronic component base, and construction materials. Hence the completely expanded combat capabilities of this product, a high-ranking source in the military-industrial complex told Gazeta.Ru.

The updated anti-missile missile began to develop even greater speed. 53T6 and in the old days flew several times faster than a bullet and gained a speed of more than 3 km / s in a matter of seconds, being the fastest missile in the world. In the modernized version, its speed has already approached 4 km / s.

Available product overloads have increased significantly. If earlier they exceeded 200 g, now they are close to 300 g (for example, the S-75 air defense missile system could withstand only 8 g, missiles of modern systems are, as a rule, not more than 30 g). And with such overloads, the onboard equipment of the PRS-1M anti-missile remains operational.

For the new product, the affected area in height and range has increased by almost one and a half times. Now, the interception of warheads of enemy ICBMs is confidently carried out at an altitude of well over 50 km.


The missile is equipped with a nuclear warhead with a capacity of several kilotons. According to some reports, a directional fragmentation warhead has been developed recently. But there is no unequivocal confirmation of this yet.

Thus, with the arrival of the new PRS-1M interceptor missile to equip the A-135 system near Moscow, the effectiveness of the anti-missile defense of Moscow and the Central Industrial Region will significantly increase. In fact, the A-135 missile defense system acquires a completely new quality with a new product.

On December 4, 2018, the seventh modernized PRS-1M interceptor missile was launched at the Saryshagan training ground.

The new missile has great capabilities in terms of target interception speed, better accuracy characteristics, and therefore will seriously strengthen the security of the Russian capital from ballistic missile attacks from a potential enemy.
