Re: Sunburn (Moskit) anti ship missle - the Phalanax ship defense has been upgraded about 4 times, and now includes higher elevation angles and some versions have the ability to do so networked targeting. There's been some recent work on using the US Standard missle as a small area anti-missile defense. This may be because of short range ballistic missiles and/or the ability of newer anti-ship cruise missiles to penetrate the Phalanx defense system. It appears that the Sunburn has been upgraded at least once. Some smaller missles, like the US Harpoon and it's Chinese equivalent, have had about 4-5 redesigns over the years. ********* There are defenses, but I don't think we will know if they are effective until actual conflict. One big problenm from the defense side - the defensive systems tend to be automatic and autonomous, and will shoot down almost everything, inlcuding your own planes, civilian airliners, and overweight seagulls. So there is a tendency to keep them turned off...this hands the advantage to the attacker.
