Description

The K-300P Bastion-P is a mobile coastal defense missile system equipped with 3M55/Yakhont anti-ship supersonic cruise missiles intended to control straits, sea lines of communications and territorial waters. In addition, Bastion-P can protect naval bases, strategic installations and coastal infrastructure as well as defending shore areas against amphibious landings. The Bastion can take out virtually any surface ship including aircraft carrier battle groups. The weapons, sensors and the reload and support means are mounted on a wheeled chassis which provides high mobility. Once arrived into a given location, the Bastion only needs a few minutes to get ready-to-fire its supersonic and highly maneuverable 3M55/Yakhont missiles. In September 2013, the Russian Navy's Coast Guard Troops announced that they will be receiving 20 Bal and Bastion-P missile systems through 2020. A Bastion-P missile system was deployed in March 2014 by Russia in Crimea as a deterrent for US Navy ships. A single Bastion-P coastal missile system consists of up to two command, control and communications vehicles; up to four MZKT-7930 launcher vehicles with two vertically-launched Yakhont missiles each; and up to four transport/reload vehicles with three missiles each. The command post vehicle is equipped with a Monolit target acquisition radar. The missile transport vehicle takes between 30 to 40 minutes to reload a launcher vehicle. The launcher vehicle can perform a consecutive missile firing within three seconds with the missiles taking up to five minutes to hit a target at a distance of 300 kilometers. The Bastion-P coastal defense system can perform missile launch from locations at sea-level or at up to 1,000 meters of altitude and up to 10 kilometers inland from shore. A group of several Yakhont missiles can attack a given target with one missile flying at an altitude of 15,000-ft (5,000 meters) while transmitting target data to the other missiles flying at 10-15 meters above sea level.
