The Klub system uses a small rocket to launch it out of the tube (like our Tomahawk), and converts into a cruise missile (also like our Tomahawk). So that first stage rocket does not last long and would end much quicker then was was depicted in the video from Cali (assuming it was a missile - I'm not convinced it was with only a small part thinking it was a missile). The Klub does have a variant with a third stage that goes supersonic in the terminal mode which is really nasty (unlike our Tomahawk).
