It Is Going To Be A Heavily Armed Vessel
The Laika class is going to come with 8 BLS missile silos. These, in turn, might feature the KALIBR cruise missiles or the Onix anti-ship cruise missile. On top of that, it is going to come with ten torpedo tubes. However, these things are not what worries the United States Navy.
A New Weapon Is Also In The Works
You see, the Laika class is going to come with a new weapon known as the 3M22 Zircon Hypersonic. It is a cruise missile that can strike ships at sea, as well as land targets, up to the speed of Mach 9. This is going to make it hard for the missile defenses of the United States Navy to counter attacks.
