Back in February, we embedded a video about the Club-K Container Missile System. Designated for hitting surface and land targets, the Club-K System can be installed in a variety of areas: coastal positions, surface ships, railway, and automobile platforms.

The earlier video showed how a container is lifted and transported. The video below, released by a Russian company, shows the system in action, from transportation to launch. From the back of a big rig, the container opens and launches missiles headed to targets in three different locations: two aircraft carriers, tanks, and a military installation. Watch below:

Intelligence analyst Ryan Mauro correctly notes that the mobile Club-K can be used by a weaker nation against a more powerful one. Trucks and trains become innocuous-looking launching stations.

“The West normally relies upon advanced surveillance to detect and monitor such pads so that prior notice of a launch can be achieved,” Mauro writes at FrontPageMag.com, “allowing for the site to be destroyed before the missile takes off or the missile to be intercepted. This warning allows for preparations for impact to be undertaken and retaliatory measures to be evaluated. By concealing and launching the missiles from cargo containers, there is absolutely minimal time to react, as effective surveillance would require following every truck, train or ship.”

Will Russia, which sold S-300 missiles to rogue state Iran, sell the Club-K Container Missile System as well?
