    For the caspian flotilla I think yes, for Russian Navy no, Georgians got a glimpse of it. Small but effective.

Grad Sviyazhsk, Uglich and Veliki Ustyug carry them to my knowledge.

    Nyet tovarisch , two Gepard class frigates "Dagestan" and "Tatarstan" have Kalibr also

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gepard-class_frigate

    only Dagestan i think, 1 from 2
    Any ideas why from the Caspian not the Med?

    except the ships mentioned above, only Project 22350 and Project 11356 will have Kalibr missiles and these classes havent been commissioned yet. So no that could be in Med has those missiles to fire

    Theoretically could Black sea fleet launch them from their two Buyan-M ships and from Kilo submarines.
    No, they don't have the range, just plot the course.

    On your other answers, the missiles would not have to cross NATO land as Syria has a Med coast and watching the video does not explain why, George1 did that.

    It does show how strategically important the Caspian is now in the age of very long range ship launched cruise missiles, especially as the small size of the ships makes them hard to find and destroy.

    Since the US decided to get shit faced over there the Caspian has become as strategic as Donbass.

    I was also thinking that. Caspian Flotilla the least likely to ever see any action, and now.....

    Still rather surprised this did not come from the ships in the Mediterranean

    Excellent stuff w.r.t to the Kaliber launch. Loved it.  thumbsup

    Hope atleast now people realise that what Russian Navy needs now are ships that are practical and cost-effective and wish the Russian MoD put effort to accelerate and increase the number of Pr.11661 and Pr.21631. 11661 must be given priority over the pr.20380/5. Russia needs ships and ships in numbers which can strike the adversary hard.

    Two 11356 with a a dozen 21631 based out of Tartus is a good strike force to keep away any NATO naval asset and, if needed, to enforce a blockade on Western bound trade from the Suez. Its all for these very strategic options/objectives (choke points) that Syria and Tartus is very important for Russia and I want to see Russia fortify its position in the region. This is the safest and cost-effective way to strike hard western powers without deploying in the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf, for which Russian navy currently lacks assets.

    The launch would have given a chill to the Saudi's, Turks and obviously the western world barking against Russia. This launch also could be due to the recent propaganda regarding the airspace violation and 'Russian planes coming too near to the US a/c' also.... so from now on the US/NATO will need to be more careful when Russia launch missiles, lest NATO a/c collide with any of those missiles.

    More than the US/NATO a/c, US/NATO drones are a threat to Russian a/c due to the possibly of a planned collision with the Russian a/c operating in the region.

    Yes they can but will need to overfly Turkish airspace.

    Anyone want to have a rethink on having Amur-950 with 10 x VLS for Klub in the Black sea/Baltic fleet?? The entire load of 10 missiles will be launched in under two minutes from the sub.

    Wow, the Buyan-M just highly proved themselves. And having similar amount of armemant as thr much Larger Daegestan (Gepard) really making this ship shine! Medo is right, who will end up being first export customer? Bet many countries that need such small hard hitting ships will get a hard on after this engagement. GJ Russia!

    Better to ask who should be.
    I would say Syria needs them and DPR Korea in the immediate to near future for obvious reasons.

    Russia Ready to Establish Contacts With Free Syrian Army – Foreign Ministry

    Read more: http://sputniknews.com/politics/20151007/1028165440/russia-fsa-contacts.html#ixzz3ntR584EL

    Moscow is ready to help coordinate the efforts of the armed forces of Syria and the Free Syrian Army, which currently oppose the country's government, to fight the Islamic State, Russia's Foreign Ministry said Wednesday. President Vladimir Putin has instructed the Foreign Ministry to communicate this to Russia's foreign partners.

    "In accordance with the position expressed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Russian side is ready for the Defense Ministry to help unite the efforts of the Syrian army and the Free Syrian Army in the fight against the Islamic State and other terrorist groups, including in the context of coordinating the actions of Russian aviation," ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement.

    "In addition, at the request of the Russian president, the Foreign Ministry is informing our partners in countries with contacts in the Free Syrian Army of the Russian side's readiness to establish contact with the leaders of this structure," the statement reads.
