New Containerized Missile System on Show
11:56 27/06/2012 | ZHUKOVSKY, June 27 (RIA Novosti)
Russia's Morinformsistema-Agat
has unveiled a containerized system of its Club-K missile system
using a new Kh-35UE cruise missile with a highly advanced target acquisition and seeker system, company
representative Rostislav Atkov said on Wednesday at the Technology in Machine-Building 2012 exhibition
at Zhukovsky near Moscow.
"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," Atkov said.
The company showed a similar system last year at the MAKS Moscow air show, but with four supersonic
3M54TE missiles in a container.
The containerized system allows flexibility in basing the system, which can even be sited on merchant ships, he said.
The system is not in service with the Russian armed forces, he noted. "However, we are in active talks with
foreign clients from the Asia-Pacific region," he said, but declined to name them.
