Kalibr cruise missiles are effectively used from diesel-electric submarines, and the basing system is being improved.
The head of the department expressed confidence that the skill of the personnel and the qualitative renewal of the submarine fleet will allow to effectively respond to modern challenges and threats.
Kalibr (NATO classification SS-N-27 Sizzler) are cruise missiles developed and manufactured by the Novator Design Bureau in Yekaterinburg (part of the Almaz-Antey Air Defense Concern).
The range of Kalibrs is more than 2000 km, the mass of the warhead is 500 kg. Missiles of this type have low radar signature and, due to terrain following at extremely low altitudes, are difficult to detect by any air defense systems.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Russian SSJ-100 New airliner has started the flight part of certification tests.
