[QUOTE]Range of a Maverick against the range of a P-270? SS-N-22 launched from 120km, flies at 20 metres and Mach 3. And that was the Lun, what, nearly 40 years ago? [/QUOTE
Ummmm, a Maverick is carried by a jet aircraft. The range of the jet aircraft is considerably greater than 120km. The carrier's embarked E-2 Hawkeye can detect and track the Lun hundreds of miles beyond the Lun's surface search radar's horizon. It would be dead before it could get within range to detect the carrier on its radar, never mind within range to launch its missiles.
