Damn check out these ghetto Russians, strapping an SA-15 to the

And what is wrong with that? Russian leaders are not that dumb how you think, WW3 won't happen anyway, so they just take more money in their pocket and have epic life

>>33580155
for what purpose?

>>33580368
I guess to augment their AA capacity without refitting the ship. It's also telling that they have cut their ASW capability by not carrying a helicopter.
>>33580362
It's just interesting is all. Wouldn't being on a moving platform affect it's tracking or something?

>>33580411
No, they're made to engage while on the move, stopping only to launch.

>>33580362
Keep telling that to yourself. The only reason they did that is either they didn't have money for proper ship borne air defence or they do have the money but it went straight to the "admirals" pocket

It's testing.

Why make an entirely new module when you can just drop a TOR-M2 on the deck and lol.

If it works, woohoo, design some box for it to fit in and bolt it onto the ships next time they're in port.

Almaz Altay is currently dragging their feet on sand. The Poliment-Redut of the Gorshkov still has problems, the Palash on the Gorshkov still does not have missiles, the Morfey is stuck in development, Vityaz is still in testing, Krepost looks dead. And a competitor's system, navalised Pantsir, just won a good project.

Therefore, they're thinking of making easy money by using an existing product while letting the development of Khinzal rot. If I recall, the modernised Khinzal was bought for Nakhimov but I doubt if they will get it before 2020. They can probably use this as substitute if they're feeling lazy. Fucking corrupt faggots.
