For the portion of the flight time that it is making distance on it's
target
then I guess so. With a decent sized warhead, casing and other gubbins
the
thing's going to have one hell of a lot of momentum cracking along, upon
reaching it's target it'll need to be agile to not be spoofed by evasive
action, so how'd you steer it without control surfaces?
It has tail control surfaces , it just seems to lack the
mid fuselage wings seen on some other designs

Cheers Keith. However I think these vanes are used for the bank and turn
corrections at long range, and not the short term agile 'skid' manoeuvres. I
haven't been able to find anything on the latter so'll just guess at it
being a layman's thrust vectoring!
