We do really plan to start production of those after 2020, but plans currently are only plans. The whole project will be continuation of Soviet works on this subject, AFAIK.

Mike E Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 A GEV that can fly decently fast, launch a large number of AShM's, and immediately land would be invaluable. Flying low to the ocean reduces radar return and the possibility of detection, so such a vehicle could remain un-spotted until launch. It also means the vehicle can float, so it could remain undetected by using that ability. It may be made by the same people that did the Orion-20 and -40. This is the O-20. And this the O-40...both seemingly could carry quite a few Oniks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike E Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 But Lun was rather large, and fired the P-280. I'm thinking a smaller, faster craft that can store ~6 AShM's internally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
