Actually, the performance of the "Trident" C4 is not bad.
Its maximum range is 1500 nautical miles, which is about 2800 kilometers, barely meeting the Navy's requirements.
As for other aspects, it's only average.
For example, it can only fly at high subsonic speeds throughout. Compared to the "Sea God" C3, it adopts a warhead separation technology that allows the warhead to discard the heavy body at the end of the flight, during the penetration phase, and use a small rocket engine to complete the final maneuvering flight.
Theoretically, if a high trajectory is used, the speed in the final dive stage can reach Mach 3.
But the problem is, strategic cruise missiles flying at high altitudes are easily shot down, so in actual combat, they almost always penetrate from ultra-low altitudes.
In this way, the terminal speed of the "Trident" C4 is hard to exceed supersonic.
Additionally, the destructive capability of the warhead is not strong enough.
