The ships of the Russian navy have always been distinguished by good weapons. The largest representatives of their class are the Project 1144 Orlan nuclear-powered combat cruisers. A total of 4 ships of this class have been built. The cost of such a ship is estimated at $ 2 billion. They have no equal in armament.
The main weapon of these cruisers of the P-700 "Granit" anti-ship missiles is supersonic cruise missiles of the third generation with a lowered profile of the flight path to the target. With a launch mass of 7 tons, these missiles developed speeds of up to 2.5 M and could carry a conventional warhead weighing 750 kg or a monoblock nuclear charge with a capacity of up to 500 kt for a distance of 625 km.
The missile is 10 meters long and 0.85 meters in diameter. 20 anti-ship cruise missiles "Granit" were installed under the upper deck of the cruiser, with an elevation angle of 60 degrees.
SM-233 launchers for these missiles were produced at the Leningrad Metal Plant. For the reason that the Granit missiles were originally intended for submarines, the installation must be filled with seawater before launching the rocket.
Based on the experience of the operational and combat training of the Navy, it is very difficult to shoot down the Granit. Even if you hit the anti-missile missile system, because of its tremendous speed and mass, it can retain enough momentum to "reach" the target ship.
