The supersonic cruise missile “Oniks” will be able to hit targets at a much greater distance than at present. According to a source familiar with the situation, work to increase the range of anti-ship missiles is in the active phase.
According to the plans of the developers, a modified version of the Onyx will be capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 1 kilometers. Work on the rocket is being carried out by NPO Mashinostroeniya, which has previously announced such plans.

Information about plans to modernize the Onyx cruise missile appeared in 2019. At the same time, the Reutov NPO Mashinostroeniya announced the development of a new version of the Oniks-M sea-based missile with a maximum firing range of 800 km and increased hitting accuracy. The missile is equipped with an advanced control system that allows it to hit targets with great accuracy, and it also has increased protection against electronic warfare. Plans were announced to start testing the rocket, but then this topic smoothly and somehow imperceptibly left the pages of the press.
