I'd have to check, but if Russia itself deployed these, they might be in
violation of some arms treaties, particularly due to the fact that they
are disguised not to appear to be launchers.
Somebody over in Russia sure spotted a potential customer market though,
and many countries would line up for them, or just have a ball making
others think they might have them.
By the end of the week, Israel will claim Iran is going to buy them,
Iran will claim they have had their indigenous version in service for
years, Russia will claim China has stolen the design and is making a
rip-off version which they have sold to Pakistan, Pakistan will say the
only reason they got them is because India bought some from the US, and
the US will tell Israel to shut the **** up and stop selling our
technology to the Chinese.

And Russia will be very surprized at what all these people do with
something that is nothing but a concept yet.

Oh, military analysts just live to get worked into a tizzy over stuff
like this, whether it's real or not:

I still remember when the MiG-25 was made of titanium and could eat
Phantom II's for breakfast. ;-)

You can see how it probably got started; some country ordered some of
those missiles in their launch tubes, and whoever was in charge of
shipping them out decided that you could fit them in a standard
forty-foot shipping container and save some money over having to build
some sort of special crate for them.
At that point the gears started going around upstairs.
They will still need their guidance systems programed before launch
though, and that will mean knowing where the launcher container is at
and which way it is pointing before launch.
The ones shown attacking the ships can home on them via radar, but the
ones attacking the tanks and airfield are going to need to have info
entered into their guidance system about the flight path between their
launch point and intended target.
In the video that's done by a reconnaissance satellite, but unless you
have access to one of those, this system won't fly.

What? We have nothing to do with this! Why is everyone always getting on
my ass over everything?
"Oh, weather not good today! Must be North Korea's fault!"
"Oh, toilet paper rough on rear! Must have North Korean itching powder
on it!"
"Oh, stupid South Korean ship is so rusty that it break in half and
sink! Who we going to blame for this one?"
Take wild ****ing guess who going to get blamed for stupid rusty ship
breaking in half when whale farts at it or something.
