00:03:22, Missile exploded
Practice target RM-217 Zvezda [program-4] simulating B-1B Lancer killed by SAM. (miss distance: 1m)

Total, SNR On Air Time: 3min 4sec




It is Program-4 of the RM target, simulating the expected (and never fielded) B-1A.

Please note, that the aim of this program was to simulate high altitude and fast target.
Simply the RM missile accelerated well above Mach3 at 18km.
