Chee - Hoo - Zuss, that's brisk! Decades ago I used to use the French SS-11 ATGW fired from the Westland Scout. It was a good missile for its day, but it was s-l-o-o-o-w. It seemed to take an age as it smokily meandered downrange unreeling its control wires. For a non- KE warhead I imagine a speed of around Mach 1 would suffice.

Sounds nice, although I wonder about accuracy issues. Seems like it would be kind of hard to guide a hyper velocity missile at the kind of range this weapon would be used.
