Over the Baltic Sea are one of the most populous airspaces for reconnaissance and intelligence aircraft. Those multimission aircraft are collecting visual and electromagnetic data from the opposite side systems, and also one of the most important shipyards of the Russian Navy is ashore of the Baltic sea. The intelligence aircraft are collecting acoustic data from the sound, what those surface ships and submarines are sending, while they are going in the test drive. The mission of the intelligence is warning about the actions of the opposite side, and give time for own troops to react the hostile attempts.
And the Baltic area is one of the most important areas of the scenarios, where Russia begins invasion to Europe. In this scenario, the Russian naval vehicles would launch cruise missiles to the targets what locates in Denmark and Germany. In those attacks would be used the new "Kalibr" missiles, what is effective against surface warships and land targets like airbases. The new Russian frigates have those missiles on board as well as most of its submarines can use those new missiles.
The ground-based IRBM systems are been prohibited in the paper, but when the contract of those weapons is unraveled, the weapon systems like Tomahawk can be installed to the ground-based launchers. The Tomahawk missile is problematic because it can be launched from the standard BQM-119 drone launcher, and this makes the system very effective. Those target-drones are easy to the convent as missiles by just installing warheads to them. And that's why those missiles are very problematic in the eyes of international law. The similar system in Russia is SS-N-21, which is used in the same purposes as Tomahawk.
When we are talking about the naval cruise missiles, the reason why those weapons are most often installed precisely on board of the ships is that they are well protected in those platforms. That means that harming those systems by ground troops attack is very difficult and the secrets of those weapons are not leaking even to the other friendly nations. Shipborne cruise missiles are easy to send any operative areas around the world, and because they are far away from the coastline, they cannot be captured by the tank- or commando attack.
If the cruise- or ballistic missile launcher is located, that target can be destroyed by airstrike and even the normal rifles are dangerous for missiles, what have no protection, but the thing is, that the missile launcher must first be located, before the attack against it is possible. The mission of the recon planes is to locate those launchers if they are placed near the borders of friendly nations or in the strike radius from the important targets.
