I don't think Siper B2's diameter is larger than 300mm.
No way. Even SM-2 350mm.
Yeah now i understand , the 1200km range is for outer space when air absent and missile or its warhead can still go on with high speed and reach 13 mach and 1000+ km just like other space objects that with little force can travel indefinetely so if US navy use it inside air 10km altitude can not pass 400km range since wiki says its based on SM2 Block4 and it has 370km range !?
SIPER Block-2 is a completely new design. It is not a derivative of HİSAR RF Missiles such as B0, such as HİSAR O+ and B1, with a booster attached and some aerodynamic design improvement to reach a range of 100km.
I think it's not a diameter, it's a wingspan.
It is about data link/seeker and high altitude controllers that differs SM2ER Block IV and SM3 Block IB. Up to IB SM3 uses common booster and common rocket motor with SM2ER Block IV. Old, but works well with the commonality.
Told you all, Siper is huge.
Again. I insist. The numbers given by Ibrahim seem suspicious.
If you know the reason why they tend to go HTK and the reason they've developed PAC-3, you wouldn't use the word "reliably shoot down TBM" that easily. If anything they'll need a warhead that works like lethality enhancer on PAC-3 instead of general HEBF or continuous rod found on most SAM warheads. Apart from that it would also need endgame maneuverability enhancement and incorporating such would make it quite a different missile already. So in short, no.
Agreed with the point that I'd rather believe what US DoD says, but in general putting faith in randome Quora post by some random dude doesn't spark much confidence. Also he doesn't know the existence of lethality enhancer warhead on PAC-3 and cites wrong reasons.
The source you've quoted is bunch of rubbish. It's pointing to the radome as if that would be the tip of the warhead. It most likely is not P-800 if that is what the article you've linked would state as a reason they believe it was Oniks.Second picture shown as a proof for warhead was first posted by Ukraine Military as a crashed P-800
In Russia, the Kinzhal hypersonic missile, which Russians wanted to use to strike Kryvyi Rih, fell down
A Kinzhal hypersonic missile fell down on the territory of Russia. The incident took place on September 14 in the Turkmen district of the Stavropol Krai near the village of Kendzhe-Kulak.mil.in.ua
Then we have photos of shot down Iskander-M from Azerbaijan and warhead doesn't look similar,

Yeah, let's agree to disagree
Yeah, but there were some Russian anti-ship cruise missile designs which had penetrating warhead instead of othe more conventional warhead most of the other ASMs are equipped with, since those Russian missiles were more of a general anti-surface missiles rather than a purely anti-ship. P-800 also fits that criteria, so there's no garauntee that Oniks' warhead wouldn't have such shape of a penetrating warhead.
New 21 inch propulsion section + 3rd stage in place of where the warhead is in SM-2 and SM-6 meaning much more delta v/energy for lighter payload.
The thickness at thickest point is what matters so yes.
Uh what?
In order to understand this fully, you need to have a good grasp of burnout and egress effects of dorsal fins on a missile. Just by enlarging or bringing it close to vector control fins you would alter the response of the missile positively or negatively with respect to egress or burnout. By increasing one you may be decreasing the other. In essence by altering position or geometry of a dorsal fin, you would be altering the Longitudinal Centre of Gravity (XCG). That would have major repercussions. There are trade offs that exist between egress and burnout conditions when you play around with dorsal fins’ position, size and geometry.
Instinctually speaking, narrow, short and relatively rear positioned strakes make me feel that they are planning higher G's with this missile.
