Russia’s Defense Ministry has commissioned a batch of 56 3M-14S Kalibr sea-launched cruise missiles—the variant designed to carry a “special” (nuclear-capable) warhead—according to procurement information reported by the defense outlet Militarnyi on October 23. The order is assigned to the Novator Design Bureau, with deliveries reported to run through late 2026.
Militarnyi’s companion analysis places recent Kalibr production prices in the range of about $2–$2.4 million at prevailing exchange-rate assumptions—while other trade-press summaries quote a similar band of roughly $2–$2.3 million. Older export benchmarks have been far higher: a Russia–India Klub-S (3M-14E) contract implies about $6.5 million per unit.
