This capability is important to air defence systems given the great speed of modern anti ship missiles such as the P-270 Moskit or Brahmos.
The Moskit was designed to be employed against smaller NATO naval groups in the Baltic Sea (Danish and German) and the Black Sea (Turkish) and non-NATO vessels in the Pacific (Japanese, South Korean, etc.), and to defend the Russian mainland against NATO amphibious assault.
