And Kh-35 can definitely be fired from Bykov, plenty for free space

IMHO Isos was referring to the possibility that Kh-35s will be launched forward and hit superstructure with this elevation. But they can be launched  backwards as well

true, but this was about container launcher not UKSK.

But once they have all the missiles launched from UKSK-M launchers then they could put one in a container and shoot all sorts of missiles from them... and the enemy would have no idea what is coming out or which one has weapons and which has 400,000 rubber ducks...

If you split it in half and had two enormous tubes with four launch tubes in each you could put each of the two tubes into a container... ie two containers equals one UKSK-M launcher... which means you could have Onyx or Calibr or indeed Zircon, but you could also have 9M96D or S-400 or 9M100...

you cannot fit UKSK into 20feet container for sure, IMHO unlikely in 40feet too. Not to mention UKSK-M

Length        Width        Height
20 ft (6.1 m) 8 ft (2.44 m) 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m)
40 ft (12.2 m) 8 ft (2.44 m) 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m)


UKSK
9,58 m                 2,30 m              2,30 m




You dont put rubber ducks on corvettes not frigates. No toher ships suppose to carry them.

but 2 is not UKSK anymore, yu just deploy different containers it is easier more missiles can be carried.

Are they planing some with shtill launchers on the front ? It was included in the design I think.

Bykov is going to St Petersburg for Navy Parade, leaves in June https://www.crimea.kp.ru/online/news/3437471/
