It really depends on...where you put it. This is essentially an ESM sensor, not a radar per se. You can think of this system like an assortment of very large ears, mounted on trucks. You put a handful of those trucks in mountains, preferably many kilometers apart, and then you triangulate or...

It really depends on the application at hand. For example, in littorial theaters close to land bases, surface clutter, dead zones etc, a ship like this is simply a big target. Out in the open sea though, as the leader of a task-force, surrounded by MILGEM and TF-2000 escorts, the naval...

Not my definition really[1], and that is somewhat beside the point. The reason that I brought it up in the first place was because I didn't want Tshering to skimp around the question by possibly using a "Palestinians don't exist, they are a modern construct" get out of jail card. Of course...

Was mainly talking about the pollution aspect of it. CO2 is irrelevant when you are actually rolling back heavy metal contamination regulations.

Not really. What I mean is, the system can swap missiles. Remember, the export versions of Kalibr missiles are the ones that are restricted to 300km range, due to the MTCR. They are essentially de-rated variants of the same family. According to the official Rosobonexport entry for the system...

I was under the impression that the Club-K variant for Kalibr already existed. If so, modifications needed to move this into a TEL would be rather minimal.

Putting someone like Wheeler (the infamous Robert E. Murray lawyer) in charge of the EPA is the equivalent of hiring a dingo to babysit your children. :D
