"There are also several corvettes equipped with launchers, radars and guidance systems from this naval complex," he said.
It was reported earlier that all new-generation missiles will have active self-homing warheads, inertial guidance systems and will have very high maneuverability in order to engage the whole range of objects mounting an attack.
