The Houthis in Yemen have tested a hypersonic missile

"In addition, inertial navigation involves scanning the area and comparing the image with the one stored in memory. And how to scan while in a plasma cloud?"

No, it doesn't. See above. No "scanning" and no Star Trek tech.

IG has been around for donkey's years.

Therefore, to prevent melting, the warhead must fly in a cloud of plasma. And this can be done. But another problem arises. Plasma does not transmit control signals. But to make it let through signals, and not just let through, but let through its own and block other people’s

The heat itself is what creates the plasma, when the air around missiles like Kinzhal is superheated it becomes plasma. Only letting through it's own signals would be undesirable because then it would still be visible on radar but not remote controllable, unlike a cruise missile that is visible but controllable. But that's not how it works, it uses inertial navigation when it's hypersonic.

Sorry, but inertial navigation is not capable of making the warhead maneuver depending on the real situation.

This is correct

In addition, inertial navigation involves scanning the area and comparing the image with the one stored in memory. And how to scan while in a plasma cloud?

No, you're probably thinking of terrain contour matching or something similar. Inertial navigation is based on calculating the vehicle's position based on initial location, velocity etc.

a reply to: MBakhtin

Yes.

From my Brittanica link:

"Inertial guidance system, electronic system that continuously monitors the position, velocity, and acceleration of a vehicle, usually a submarine, missile, or airplane, and thus provides navigational data or control without need for communicating with a base station."

In the second case, your navigation method is not capable of ensuring high-precision target destruction. In reality, the target is scanned in real time and, if necessary, adjusted. This is the essence of precision weapons.

a reply to: RussianTroll

Not in the case of the Khinzal.

Did you not read the links provided to you about IG and how it works?

No "scanning".

You'd be interested to learn....

The guidance system used by the Germans in 1942 in the V-2 missile can be considered to be the first use of inertial navigation. It is true that Foucault defined the gyroscope in 1852 and that Schuler developed the gyrocompass in 1908, but the former device was only a measuring instrument and the latter, although of inertial’quality, was only a partial inertial system. The Sperry flight instruments of the late 1920% and early 1930’s were attitude-indicating not velocity or position-indicating devices. Earnest development of inertial navigation systems began in the United States in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s by the M.I.T. Instrumentation Laboratory, Northrop and Autonetics under Air Force sponsorship. This work led to the inertial guidance systems for ballistic missiles-both land and ship launched. The 1960’s brought the Space Age and the advance of inertial guidance in Apollo, During this time inertial guidance systems also found their way into military and then commercial airplanes. Behind the system development was the simultaneous and necessary development of theory, analysis, components, subsystems and testing. The author, whose professional career has been simultaneous with the growth of inertial navigation, draws on his personal experiences in the field of direct association with many of the people and events involved.

Yes, it has inferior accuracy. Although the exact accuracy of course depends on how far it travels using only inertial guidance.

Joe Biden ordered the US military to destroy the Houthis.

Has he turned him into girly men who can't even destroy ragtag terrorists?

The previous time he ordered the destruction of the Taliban. We all know how it ended))))

The Russians have experienced this in practice. And more than once from various carriers of these weapons..

Actually, Biden gave them the okay to take over Kabul. He even told them we did not want any of our military equipment or weapons returned.

Are you saying that your leader has given the military a half-hearted task? Damn, I can imagine the anger and contempt of your generals in Afghanistan.

a reply to: RussianTroll

It's decent, as accurate as other ballistic missiles

Who is she"? Tests of a hypersonic missile in the United States ended at the stage of separation of the missile from the carrier. Then the program was curtailed. I don't even see a prototype.

No I'm talking about the Kinzhal

No I'm talking about the Kinzhal

The carrier of the Dagger is the MIG-31, fastest plane in the world. The first use of the Dagger is the destruction of a Soviet-era nuclear shelter in the mountains and rocks of the Carpathians. The NATO situational center with a certain number of NATO generals and colonels was destroyed. Then for a long time there were obituaries about the death of NATO generals in plane crashes of private planes or in the Alps of elderly people who had never been involved in mountaineering before.
Don’t worry, the Russian Ministry of Defense focuses on publications in Western media, but on real results.))))

In addition, the use of Zircon hypersonic missiles from sea-based and ground-based carriers has been announced. But these are no longer Daggers, this is much more serious.))))

Source for that?

I gave you a link to HAWC.

Do please post some evidence for your claims.

No it wasn't.

Unless, you have, evidence?

a reply to: RussianTroll

Yeah, a bunker would be a suitable target for ballistic missiles. The accuracy isn't dependent on the carrier's speed but quality of the inertial navigation system and travel distance. But you're probably thinking of the weapons depot in Deliatyn? That's actually in Ukraine.

a reply to: MBakhtin

These facts do not in any way affect the targeting technology of hypersonic missiles.
