... and what happens, if the V-880E flies at the dense atmosphere, with Mach6?
First the nose cone will burn, the GSN will loose target, momentarily KRO signal, missile burned and splashed.
Seems legit, but still we are comparing both point's of view (of course if anybody could suggested us some more sound US sources it would be great). At this book missiles where "long-range, high-altitude flight before crashing into the sea" for this first engagement. Also, according russian's sources the missile-target "rendezvous" was observed not only on S-200 scopes, but also on some target acquisition radars and height-finders.... Of course, this soviet's analysis could be just to calm down USSR high command for the low performance of the VEGA, but it is more logical in it's descriptions of the engagements, than the US book. Of course everybody could judge for itself...
