Gorshkov strike and air-defense missile options

Oniks, Kalibr and Zircon provide strike options, while S-350-based air defense demands respect from opponents.

Notes

The 3S14 strike cells can carry Oniks, Kalibr or Zircon weapons. An upgraded 3S14M launcher is associated with the larger Project 22350M design. The S-350-based air-defense system is judged a serious threat even without receiving the strongest comparative appraisal. Its missile variants are credited with ranges up to 120 kilometres, high speed and high manoeuvrability. Operational planning should allow for effective enemy systems, since assuming they will perform badly risks costly surprises.
