#1 The missile flies as low as 309 feet about ground level at speeds of up to Mach 2.8, or around 2,000 miles per hour, making it three times faster than the U.S.-made subsonic Tomahawk cruise missile, it said.

Anyone know if this thing works?

#8 In the picture above they removed the nose cap diverter to show the ramjet inlet.

It has a two-stage propulsion system, with a solid-propellant rocket for initial acceleration and a liquid-fueled ramjet responsible for sustained supersonic cruise.
