According to him, the anti-ship missile R-360 of the ZhK-360MTs Neptune complex, which Russia had been “threatened” with by the new commander of the Navy Neizhpapa on the eve of Russia, is outdated by modern standards and easily knocked out by a subsonic missile. At the same time, Gorbachev emphasized that there is no secret in this complex for Russia and there are all means to neutralize missiles.
