The AIM 54 Phoenix was designed to defend carrier groups by striking hostile aircraft at extreme range, using powerful radar guidance and high speed to engage threats before they could close in. Paired with the F 14 Tomcat, it set the standard for long range air interception during the Cold War. How much did extreme range shape naval air defense before modern networked missiles took over?

The P 270 Moskit was built to defeat naval defenses by combining very high speed with a low altitude sea skimming approach during its final attack phase. Its active radar seeker and kinetic energy made it a serious threat to surface ships during the late Cold War and beyond. How well do modern naval defenses handle missiles designed around raw speed and low visibility?
