Description: The Klub is a family of modular, two-stage, multi-purpose missiles intended to engage ships, submarines and targets onshore. The Klub missiles can be launched from surface ships and submarines employing canisters, torpedo tubes and VLS. The missile can follow a ballistic or a cruise trajectory pattern depending on the Klub missile version. They have been designed to destroy targets protected by sophisticated active defenses and countermeasures.

Club-N designation applies to missile variants employed by surface vessels which launch this kind of weapon through Vertical Launch System (VLS). Club-N missiles are provided with Transport-Launch Containers (TLCs). Club-S refers to submarine applications which utilize torpedo tubes to fire the weapon out of the submarine.

The 3M-54E1 Club-S is a submarine-launched subsonic anti-ship missile. It is suitable for engagements of large ships not protected by sophisticated air defenses. Its propulsion system features a booster and low-altitude subsonic stage sustainer. Its guidance system combines inertial navigation system for medium course guidance with end-game active radar homing.
