Polish plant to build Anduril’s Barracuda cruise missiles
1000 freaking miles
.Indian Astra Mk3 has 340km range at 20km altitude with 220kg weight
For 1000 miles ~ 1600km, even without warhead, it "may" even exceed Aim-174 weight.
May be it will have multiple on-off (may be even use liquid fuel as it has better specific impulse) so that it can cover 1000 miles.
Or it will use scramjet engine ?
As even traveling with mach 3, it will take 26 minutes which is too much time even for big slow moving target.
Hypersonic will take less than 15 minutes, even around 10 minutes.
Actually a bomber(specially stealth) is great for anti-ship. Better than fighter jet in lots of cases
USA traditionally did not rely much on bomber for anti-ship as therw were not much target.
But with rise of china, it was expected to have such utility.
Even ARRW missile has anti-ship role/varient.
You're not thinking out of the box. There was news of a terminal seeker on ARRW Inc.2, so that gives you an idea of how it might be done - ballistic trajectory (near MET), including exo-atmospheric phase, then high manoeuvrability glide to hit AEW plane at M10+.1000 freaking miles

New Version Of Bomber-Launched ARRW Hypersonic Missile Is A Ship Killer
The USAF is moving to start work on a new ARRW variant able to hit moving targets with an eye toward future fights in the Pacific.

And we are buying french AASM hammer for almsot 0.45 million USD.
French MIC are biggest scammers in the world and IAF loves being scammed, or they loves importing weapon(Import Air Force).
Astra Mk3 will be available before the new rafale will come, but IAF will still import meteor even with less range, no 2 way data link and no aesa radar.
