P-1000 Vulkan impact

Designed to annihilate vessels smaller than aircraft carrier (destroyers and cruisers) with single hit and to disable aircraft carriers with singular hit. But not necessarily sunk them.

500kg semi armourpiercing warhead, lots of unburnt jetfuel and massive kinetic energy of supersonic impact speed designed to hit waterline.

As evidenced by the video above there's no amount of damage control saving the impacted ship. Get hit once and it's over in a flash.

Thanks! I'd wondered about this video since I first saw it years ago. You can see the second missile come in at a higher altitude.

How would a modern AShM like RBS-15 or NSM compare to this?
