Pretty ingenious idea really. Basically any container ship in the world could become a cruise missile launching platform.

A Russian company is marketing a devastating new cruise missile system which can be hidden inside a shipping container, giving any merchant vessel the capability to wipe out an aircraft carrier.

LOL..pretty spiffy video. At the end I thought for sure the "red" country was going to turn the "blue" country red too...

Certainly a plausible product no doubt!

Feels like something a bond villain would use. I can see bond's pretty assistant leaning over a console in a very low cut ball gown disarming all the warheads one by one hehe.

Would make for a good Flaming Cliffs scenario though. I don't even know if container ships are in the FC2 object list, but it would be kind of cool to have a mission where you have a port with maybe dozens of ships and you have to ID the right one and destroy it...

Seeing the missile launcher rise up made me want to say "Good morning!!!".

Neat concept, but very few Russian client nations can afford cruise missiles. So you have the usual suspects, such as Iran showing interest. It makes me wonder how upcoming laser defense systems will fair against cruise missiles. I saw this on Defense Tech but I didn't bother following the discussion that would have followed.

I just read a Jane's analyst on Reuters mentioning a price of 10-20 mil $ for one Club-K system, which consists of four missiles. Sounds like a bargain to me.

That would be a good senario, but it would be too easy nuking all the sky blue containers.
:0)

I wouldn't want to be a container driver on the outset of a war!

No, the thing I chopped off had a nose.
