Mikhail Barabanov, a defense expert at Russia's Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST), said that as far as he understood, the Club-K was still at the concept stage. "Potential clients include anyone who likes the idea," he said

But why make a lethal almost strategic weapon that fits perfect in the arsenal of terrorist and smuggler organizations?

Why not say directly to terrorist: we also make special editions with biological agents and help you smuggle them abroad?

Because this is also the kind of capability that's needed for countries that feel threatened by America's extensive strategic reconaissance means.

Besides, the Club is broadly Tomahawk sized, and there had been such things as land-fired Tomahawks, armed with nuclear warheads, on TELs.

Like this is a new idea? My company makes containers, well modules, they are more advanced what we do. Anyway I have countless ideas for turning these into drag and drop missile systems for merchant men.

I don't see what is so sneaky about it, unless of course it is because Russia is designing and selling it.
