Bal and Bastion missile systems
The Bal and Bastion missile systems are Russian coastal defense platforms designed to protect against naval threats. The Bal system is a mobile missile launcher that can fire cruise missiles to target ships or land targets from land-based positions. The Bastion system features a fixed or mobile launcher with long-range missile capabilities, primarily targeting enemy ships at significant distances. Both systems are part of Russia’s strategic naval defense, providing versatile, high-precision missile options to deter or engage maritime threats and maintain control of key maritime regions.
