Adapt, Adapt, Adapt...

 ... if you don't--you lose. Let me get you on the stroll down the memory lane. Seven years ago Russians decided to test land-based AD complex Tor M2KM in the sea on-board of Russian Frigate Admiral Grigorovich. 

Not only it performed well in the sea (mind you--Tor M2 can launch while moving, those laser gyroscopes, you know) but its combat record in SMO is simply mind-boggling. Also, mind you that first flight of small missile ships of project 22800 Karakurt didn't have what second flight has today--fully integrated navalized Pantsir. But no worries...

Voila, one of the first flight of Karakurts Sovetsk going to sea with retrofitted Tor-M2KM. It is a superb short-range (range to 12 kilometers) system which greatly improved self-defense and short-range security zone for other vessels capability of first flight Karakurts. Always go with what works and proved itself.
