After working on pulsejet technology since the inconclusive Darkterror War, military scientists have finally unvelied the UHSM, designed to counter Yakhont-3 missles by a fire by fire method.

Each costing the same, the UHSM comes in variations:

Anti-ship (ship, air or ground launchable)
Anti-ground (ship, air or ground launchable)

The UHSM is able to travel at speeds of mach 5, with a range of 600 nautical miles. It is 20 feet long, is 20.4 inches in diameter, and weighs 3,500 pounds. It is one million dollars per missle.

Each has the standard inertial and TERCOM guidance system used on the Tomahawk. Also fitting with the Tomahawk is the fact that the same launcher can be used.

Export version is not equiped with a guidance system and has a speed of only mach 4.

Where did you get those facts Tannelorn and FutureEngland? The last document which gave a Mach 6 speed on Russian SAMs were in the 70s.

(It's possible, but needs to be larger)
