The Empire of Dracoinus has supplied a brief transcript of the attack on the NLN Firefly
10:40:05 PST - Serpent Spear Command Control, Desk Charlie BA4
***************************************************
“Sir, ‘echos’ on target, impact in 12 sir”
“Good, good…. Very good”
“8 sir”
“fine…”
“4”
“3”
“2”
“contact sir……”
*******************************************************
… At that moment a barrage of 25 hypsersonic (AShM’s) based on an old “russian” designed ‘Yakhont’ slammed into the NLN Firefly of the Nation of New Logan.
********************************************************
OOC: details of the Yakhont design.. The variant launched against the NLN Firefly however can achieve speeds of Mach 6.5 in flight. 8 were sent to the Broadside 8 sent to the Portside, 8 impacted directly at the Bow and superstructure and 1 popped up for a direct vertical kill at center mass on the deck.
Yakhont combines the main qualities of future anti-ship - it has small weight and size, it is invisible for modern radars (Stealth technologies), it flies at supersonic speed and is guided autonomously on a "shot-forgot" principle.
The Yakhont designers assume that at a distance of 300 km the enemy may detect a missile launching and do whatever necessary to destroy the missile. But being "deaf" to jamming a Yakhont missile, flying at a speed of 750 meters per second and performing complex tactical maneuvering during the flight, will reach its target anyway. No navy in the world has effective means against the Russian missile.
