Said missile in S-400 application: the cluster of 3 small containers.
S-350 «Vityaz» employs the element of the Russian air defence CONOPS which calls for dealing with saturation attacks via use of the mixture of missiles of different types. In order not to waste the potent (and expensive) longer-range 9M96-2 missiles S-350 employs the shorter-range (up to 40 to 60 km) 9M96 and the short-range (6 to 10 km) 9M100 SAM to deal with targets which cannot be intercepted on the longer distance (like PGM). 9M96-2 SAM provide S-350 the capability to engage and intercept tactical ballistic missiles (range up to 600 km) on the distance up to 30 km (altitude up to 30 km).

The naval version with 9M96E guided missile under development would be called Redut. This to be used in the project 22350 Admiral Gorshkov class frigates and project 20385 Gremyashchy class corvettes of the Russian navy.
