H-131 Storm
A spiritual successor of earlier H-48 Skybolt and a bigger brother of contemporary H-69 Stiletto, the H-131 Storm is the premier aeroballistic weapon, used by UPAF.
Taking a step back from multi-pulse solid fuel engines that Skybolt and Stiletto use, the Storm is fueled by a liquid hypergol fuel pair, which requires careful handling by the surface operators, Storm provides an unmatched range of 1000km, 70km cruise/free-flight altitude and Mach 6 top speed, while benefitting from AESA seeker and advanced active countermeasure suite onboard, as well as 1 ton warhead - nuclear, conventional (penetrating version available) or even cluster.
No one is quite sure, why did UAP feel the need to build such a weapon (with OKIR network and their other missiles being a thing, especially stealthy cruise ones), but some suspect it's there to either serve as a last warning shot (in case PFGK-equipped CPAB-12 Cloudmaker 12t bomb/cruise missile fails to work), ensure backup option in case of OKIR network going down and stealthy cruise missiles failing… or even some yet-to-become-widely-known threat, which'd require such an amount of overkill.
In the meantime, some of the Storm missiles were converted into civilian hypersonic research laboratories, named 'Skyline-HS2' by replacing seeker and payload sections with cargo module and installing the Promin-made scramjet-powered second stage. Current top speed of such a lab was registered as Mach 7
