    Our hands are now also untied, it’s cheaper than RTOs, and even more effective in terms of stealth and combat effectiveness (terrain, forests, mountains, etc.).
    The only point is that with a wheelbase of 6 × 6, I think that it is possible 4 Caliber Zircon (Brahmos).
    And RTOs are also not a matter of deduction, for example, as target indicators.
    In general, a very necessary topic for us in this form, we have many shores
    Crimea, Baltic States, NSR, Kuril Islands are generally waiting and tickling.


    Ps
    My bright head also thinks of Bal (Uranus) with the X-35 for the ground forces. Cheap (relatively) and effective in distance and impact properties + the possibility of various modifications, I see how very helpful in helping Tornado S (of course, and not only).

    for example, for Iran, and the United States no difference Onyx or Bramos.
    whatever one may say, for Iran this means greater accessibility, and for the United States, leave the Persian Gulf

    To Pakistan or to someone else, whether tryndets or not, and the potential opportunity to get a 12-missile salvo with two RCCs will force anyone to reconsider the outfit of attacking forces and weapons and the distance at which you must stay from the coast
