The most up-to-date Russian mobile coastal defense missile system is the BAL-E.
The BAL-E coastal missile system is designed to engage surface ships, boats, and amphibious craft on their approach to the coast, among islands, in straits and skerries against hostile electronic countermeasures using anti-ship cruise missiles. It boasts high mobility and short time of deployment and readiness for action.
The system is capable of firing anti-ship cruise missiles both singly and in salvos with a high target destruction effectiveness. The life support system permits using the weapons in different climates, tropical areas inclusive.
In addition, the anti-ship cruise missile used in the BAL-E system has a higher effectiveness and smaller reflection surface, compared with the Harpoon missile.
