I did some googling. No footage or photos of an actual Club-K missile. If it has existed awhile in ship-sub-launched versions then it must have another name as well. Is it a new version of the existing SS-N-19/P-700 missile, as carried on the Kirov class surface ships and Oscar class submarines?

Since the lanes are defined it wouldnt be that hard to defeat. The thing that sucks here is the encroachment.

And Obama is encouraging it.

Nope-the Klub is a family of anti-ship, land-attack and anti-sub missiles which pretty much combines aspects of the Tomahawk and older Russian supersonic weapons.

Eh, problem with Russian stuff is that it can go by a zillion designations, along with it’s NATO designation. The Klub also comes in a bunch of mix-and-match versions, which makes it confusing.

You’re more likely to find it under the SS-N-27 “Sizzler” designation in news stories.

Some of the variants are multi-stage with a terminal sea skim of Mach 2-3, which is pretty scary (if it works.)
