And the combat record of the Sunburn is???? The USN has no need nor use for
such a weapon.

And you have no Idea what the USN can or cannot counter.

Of course, the combat record of the Sunburn is non-existent.

And it is also true that I am not privy to any information regarding counters
to the Sunburn (and its latest derivatives), however, it appears to be a weapon
with some non-zero probability of making it past a battle group's point
defenses. The effects of such missile's slipping through those defenses would
be devastating.

That said, it is also an example of a Russian (former Soviet) produced weapon,
beyond the RPG, that negates Clancy's theory on the incompetance of their
engineering and manufacturing technologies.

Only if it works, and there is no evidence of that.
