Any idea what kind of seeker they used RF or iir?
These weapons will be a game changer for engaging enemy air defence system. During the iran/US war iranian successfully engaged enemy sam system with their relative poor accuracy. With this pin point accuracy and some maneuvers and high terminal velocity it will be a game changer for sead/dead operations without risking personal or material.

There doesn't appear to be any sensor or similar device on the nose of the missile. How it detects a target at sea is quite a mystery. I wonder if it could receive target coordinate updates from another aircraft, and—since the ionized air layer formed while the missile is traveling at supersonic speed might interfere with communications—perhaps it receives those updates through an antenna located at the rear of the missile.

Just a thought experiment.

I'm not entirely sure, but it seems as though the nose cone isn't visible here. Could it be that, during the terminal phase, the missile slows down somewhat, the heat-resistant nose cone separates, and the sensors behind it become exposed and start operating?

Just a thought.
