Maybe longer. Go look at any footage of a Vikhr strike. Here's the very first footage I saw:

There's no armored vehicle that can shake these things off. It melts through Leopard 2 armor like a hot knife cutting warm butter.
Ukrainecucks: what the fuck is inside these misssiles? How do they cut through all that tank armor like that?

These look nastier than hellfires. Hellfires have the advantage of coming straight down perpendicular from the sky. These Vikhr missiles seem strike from all angles, and they still seem more destructive than hellfires even when they hit from the side.

Here's a slow motion version of what depleted uranium does to steel, as filmed by xo Michael Mann:

The principle is the same: burning metal melts steel and punches through it. DU is supposed to burn slow just like that torch and melt right through all that steel. You're welcome to speculate about what kinds of materials might burn hot enough and slow enough to do that to a Leopard 2. Obviously it's gotta burn hotter than that torch, but it also can't explode in a flash like magnesium.

That can mean multiple things. You can have conventional explosives detonate in a way that all the the force is "shaped" in one direction, through the armor. Russia is obviously going to claim that's what it's doing, but these Leopards have 70-600mm of steel armor, and russia claims it can do 1000mm. C'mon man.
Another kind of "shaped charge" is this dildo-shaped thing inside the bomb that's made out of DU. It's "shaped" and it's a "charge" so the nomenclature fits.
I think it's also noteworthy that ERA does exactly jack shit against these missiles. I've seen pics of Ukrainians strapping ERA to their *helmets*, perhaps because they realize it's worthless on tanks now.
