It Is Going To Be A Heavily Armed Vessel
The Laika class comes with 8 BLS missiles. These could, in turn, feature KALIBR cruise missiles or Onix cruise missiles. There will be ten torpedo tubes on top of that. But these things aren’t what the U.S. Navy is concerned about either.
A New Weapon Is Also In The Works
The new weapon known as the 3M22 Zircon Hypersonic comes with the class Laika. It is a cruise missile that can strike ships at sea and land targets at the speed of Mach 9. This will make it difficult for the U.S. Navy to counterattack missile defenses.
