The military expert Dmitry Kornev, speaking to the RT channel, said that The Poliment-Redut missiles can hit targets without the intervention by the system’s crew after launch.

The new system uses the launcher of the Kalibr and Onyx missiles. Its 9M100, 9M96 and 9M96D guided missiles are capable of destroying supersonic aircrafts and missiles.
