Russian Ministry of Defense released footage
of one of the deadliest coastal defense systems at Moscow’s disposal unleashing
supersonic missiles against a naval target.
The video, posted on official Russian Defense
Ministry’s YouTube channel, shows a Bastion-P mobile coastal defense system
launching a P-800 Oniks supersonic anti-ship missile at a naval target
located over 150 kilometers away from the coast during a
training exercise.
According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper, the
missile launcher was apparently part of a missile battalion of the
Russian Pacific Fleet coastal defense forces.
Prior to this live-fire exercise the
battalion performed a 200-kilometer march from its original deployment
zone to the launch area located at one of the fleet’s training
ranges.
Bastion-P mobile coastal defense missile systems are
designed to engage naval surface targets, including carrier groups,
landing craft and convoys.
In its standard configuration Bastion-P has a payload
of 24 P-800 Oniks anti-ship missiles and can protect up to 600
kilometers of coastline from enemy amphibious landing operations.
