Description:
The Kashtan is a ship-based gun/missile weapon system designed to engage Mach 2 anti-ship and anti-radiation missiles, bombs, aircraft and surface targets such as fast attack boats. The fully system modular consists of a command module and up to 6 combat modules comprising radar and optical sensors, two guns and 8 missiles. The Command module takes care of IFF operations, target acquisition and designation, and data generation for the combat modules.
A Kashtan combat module accommodates two 6K30GSh/GSh-30K 30mm 6-barrel automatic guns providing a rate of fire of 12,000 rounds per minute, and two SAM clusters with 4 9M311 missiles each. The 9M311 missiles employ a semi-active radar guidance system and can engage up to 6 targets simultaneously within the Kashtan weapon system. The GSh-30K guns can engage targets from 500 to 1,500 meters away.
