Deployment preceded by live firing trials in Primorye Territory in July
Composites reduce Bastion-P radar signature "by 15-20 times"
The Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet is set to formally deploy the K-300P Bastion-P (SSC-5 'Stooge') mobile coastal defence missile system in the Kuril Islands, following live firing trials of the system at a training range in the Primorye Territory in July.
The Bastion-P system is designed to engage coastal threats at ranges out to 300 kilometers (186 miles). The system can also engage ground targets.
Developed jointly by Russia and Belarus, a typical Bastion-P system comprises a K-340P wheeled self-propelled launcher vehicle, a K342R transporter-loader, and a K380R mobile command post (both the K342R and K38R are based on an MZKT-7930 chassis manufactured by the Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant).
