Therefore, the Soviet Air Defence Forces began the development of missile systems to replace the World War II-vintage gun defences.
The Buk (Russian: "Бук"; "beech" (tree), / b ʊ k /) is a family of self-propelled, medium-range surface-to-air missile systems developed by the Soviet Union and its successor state, the Russian Federation, and designed to counter cruise missiles, smart bombs and rotary-wing aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
P-40 radar at Nellis AFB. The P-40 was the first high-mobility radar to enter into service with the then new tactical anti-aircraft forces of the Soviet armed forces. [2]The P-40 used the AT-T artillery tractor with tracked chassis, fitted with a 12-cylinder 4-stroke diesel engine with an output of 342 kW (465 hp) and producing a top speed of 55 km/h.
The S-500 is designed for intercepting and destroying ballistic missiles, as well as hypersonic cruise missiles and aircraft. [24] With a planned range of 600 km (370 mi) for anti-ballistic missile (ABM) and 500 km (310 mi) for air defense, [ 25 ] the S-500 was envisaged to be able to detect and simultaneously engage up to 10 ballistic ...
