I've noticed that several of the news outlets are giving misleading information. They're calling the missile launched Siper, and I've read you guys input on it as well. So question is going to be, is Siper the final missiles name or is Siper the name a group of long range missiles.
I believe it'll be the name of the final missile, so why did the others get their names revamped ?
Also the missile is quite slim as pointed out, if it's 250mm and not very long/tall the estimated range I've seen in the thread puts it around 70-100 km, and if I didn't get it wrong it's with the small booster shown right ?
@Cabatli_53 said (I think it was him) something about the range being impressive comparable with it's size, which I really hope is true. But the question is then what's the speed of the missile ?
Have we managed to create a more fuel efficient booster/rocket engine and how much does it increase the range. Of course I hope that we've made better rocket engine which will mean smaller and slimmer missiles will have 20-30% longer range, but I'm not sure if it's a dream atm
