Expert Reminded of the Development of Container Launchers "Caliber-K"

In Russia, a prototype launcher for "Caliber" missiles in a container version has been developed. With proper development, they can replace warships for high-precision launches, said military expert Alexander Vasiliev.

Impossible to Detect

According to him, the preparation for the launch of "Calibers" from ground systems cannot be detected, unlike the выдвижения of frigates. Also, container installations are suitable for launching air-launched X-101 missiles from the ground.

Vasiliev noted that this approach will dramatically increase the secrecy of preparations for the strike, without driving ships and aircraft and without wasting their engine hours.

Eliminate the Lag from Tomahawk

Military expert Sergei Marzhetsky also noted that the only significant disadvantage of all modifications of Russian Caliber cruise missiles compared to American Tomahawk is the shortage of carriers capable of producing a simultaneous salvo in a short time.

Thanks to the idea, peaceful container ships turned into powerful missile-carrying ships capable of delivering powerful strikes on the enemy's far rear.

Recall that for the first time the container installation for "Caliber-K" was shown back in 2011 at the International Naval Salon. In the export version, it was called Club-K. It is a launcher for cruise missiles, secretly placed in a standard 20- and 40-foot ISO container.

Earlier www1.ru reported that Russian space forces detected launches of more than 1300 missiles in 2025.
