“Under an existing contract, the Baltic plant
will install Kalibr systems on the first troika of frigates,”
the plant said, adding that the next three frigates are also expected
to be equipped with Kalibr missiles.
The Kalibr is capable of effectively engaging aerial, submerged and
coastal targets, and has a range of up to 185 miles.
The Project 11356 Krivak IV-class is a guided-missile frigate designed
to counter surface ships, submarines and airborne targets.
