Overview
The K-300P Bastion-P (NATO: SS-C-5 Stooge) is Russia's premier mobile coastal defense missile system, equipping Vietnam's coastal defense forces with a credible long-range anti-access capability in the South China Sea. The system fires the P-800 Oniks supersonic cruise missile at Mach 2.0–2.5 out to 300–450 km, placing virtually the entire South China Sea within range of Vietnamese coastal batteries. Vietnam operates two batteries — each with 4 transporter-erector-launchers (TELs). The Oniks flies a sea-skimming terminal approach of just 5–15 meters, severely stressing shipborne air defenses.
