Russia’s Northern Fleet’s Coastal Forces will receive new Bastion anti-ship missile complexes in 2015, Northern Fleet Commander Adm. Vladimir Korolev said Monday, June 1st. He added that S-400 missile complexes have already been deployed for the Northern Fleet’s anti-air defense, as well as some Pantsir-S systems in parts of the Arctic.

The K-300P Bastion (NATO reporting name SSC-5) is designed for the destruction of various surface ships from an enemy's landing squadrons, convoys, carrier strike groups, as well as single vessels and land-based radiocontrast targets in conditions of intensive fire and electronic countermeasures. The system uses the P-800 Yakhont (SS-N-26) anti-ship cruise missile and has a maximum range of 300 km.

Each Bastion system is equipped with 36 cruise missiles as well as truck-mounted radar and other equipment.
