👉 The Cl-28, or K-28, is a Soviet short-range surface-to-air missile developed in the 1960s, known as the "Cl-weapon" due to its compact design resembling a Clipper ship. It was primarily used by the Soviet Air Force and later by other nations as part of their air defense systems. The Cl-28 operates by launching a short-range ballistic missile guided by an inertial navigation system, capable of intercepting low-flying aircraft and missiles. Its compact size and relatively low cost made it a popular choice for countries seeking to bolster their air defense capabilities without the need for extensive infrastructure.
