What's the pros and cons of hot launch and cold launch? And what's the purpose of using both?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7YM-UNBmAo
At around 00:18, the Russian frigate Admiral Gorshkov launches a land attack 3M14 Kaliber missile using Cold launch via UKSK VLS.

At 01:16, the same Russian frigate, Admiral Gorshkov launches an anti submarine missiles 91R1 Kaliber missile using hot launch via UKSK VLS.

Russian Buyan-M corvettes launching land attack 3M14 Kaliber missiles using Hot launch via UKSK VLS. Which is launched differently from the first video which uses Cold launch.

Balancers forum are debating if pic on OP is 91R1 anti-sub missile or 48N6DM anti air missile with 250km range. Only shown on the video as if its 91R1 instead.

Cold launch makes me want to slap missiles onto everything like a ten year old designing a ship.
10,000 tonne destroyer? Cover it in missiles.
4,000 tonne frigate? Cover it in missiles.
500 tonne patrol boat? Meet networked AA missiles.
It's a personal fetish of mine. If CAAM is even close to as capable as it's meant to be, you've got a manoeuvrable, decent ranged and networked AA missile that can also target surface vessels and be slapped on to any ship with the space for it with relatively little modification.

It was not Kaliber missile, it was AA missile.

It is launched from the upper deck that houses the UKSK VLS silos. Anti air missiles use the Redut VLS silos used in the lower deck. And the silhouette perfectly matches a 91R1.

Especially with ICBMs. I mean just think of it, a gigantic intercontinental missile thrown up just to start its engines when it's already in the air.
