Press release Club-K Container Missile System

Lately on the overseas Internet portals and in the foreign mass media there have been discussions of Club-K Container Missile System, it is the new development of Concern Morinformsystem-Agat.

If to use the terms of propaganda this discussion looks very much like a hysteria rather than a performance characteristics analysis of Club-K system. And it would be out of our concern but we were accused of connivance of terrorism by the respectful experts in the sphere of military market, and not only by the philistines.

In that case we consider it necessary to declare the following:

1. Club-K Container Missile System is not an exceptional case in parts of camouflage. The developers do their best to add this capability to any weapon. For example, nobody is surprised or revolted by such weapon types as submarines, unmanned weapon, mines and etc.

2. Club-K System is designated first of all for installation on the ships called up for military service in the case of threat. The professionals understand perfectly well that it is impossible to use such system from any container ship or truck.

3. The development of Club-K System was based first of all on the fact that not all the countries are able to afford such expensive “toys” for their fleet as corvettes, frigates, destroyers, cruisers and other vigorous ships equipped with missile weapon. But nobody has the right to deprive it of the opportunity to have its power of sovereignty. Moreover the potential aggressor should keep in mind that he can suffer unacceptable damage.

4. In Russia there is the strictest export control system that prove-outs clearly the process of selling of weapon and dual technologies, this system eliminates the possibility of unauthorized arms transfer to the terroristic organizations and regimes.

Hereby to our point of view the Club-K Container Missile System does not only promote terrorism, but on the contrary it is designed for effective counter measures of state terrorism.

Thank you for that reassurance. There had been some grumbling that it was more difficult for an innocent American to purchase a hunting rifle from an American gun store than it was for a third world terrorist to purchase your nuclear-capable Club-K missile system.

We now are convinced that you have a rigorous system of checks and inspections to prevent the unauthorized transfer of arms technology to terrorists and that there is no possibility for missiles to be fired from trucks, trains, cargo ships or any other non-military system.
