New Containerized Missile System Unveiled

Russian-based Morinformsistema-Agat has revealed its Club-K missile system, a containerized system using a new Kh-35UE cruise missile with a highly advanced target acquisition and seeker system. "We are demonstrating Club-K with the Kh-35UE cruise missile (NATO SS-N-25 Switchblade) for the first time, which differs from earlier versions due to its advanced target acquisition and seeker systems," said company representative Rostislav Atkov. Last year during the MAKS Moscow air show, the company showcased a similar system which has four supersonic 3M54TE missiles in a container. Atkov explained that the containerized system allows flexibility in basing the system, which can even be sited on merchant ships. Although the system is not in service in Russia, the company is in “talks with foreign clients from the Asia-Pacific region," he said.
