Target ship hit by two P-270 Moskit (NATO: SS-N-22 Sunburn) anti-ship missiles during Russian Navy Pacific Fleet exercises. If you notice, the missiles hit in a head-on run and bore a path all the way through the ship. Dayum.

American Arleigh-burke class destroyers have a weakness - they don't have a Phalanx CIWS on their bow.

Impressive - and frightening.
