The missile uses radio illumination mid-course correction to fly towards the target with a terminal semi-active radar homing phase. Maximum missile speed is 2500 m/s and maximum target speed is around Mach 6 for new model and Mach 4 for earlier model. Effective altitude is 300 m (980 ft) to 20,000 m (66,000 ft) for early models and up to 35,000 ...
SA-27 Gollum Buk missile system (Buk-M3) SA-X-28 S-350E Vityaz 50R6; SA-29 Gizmo 9K333 Verba; U.S. DoD designations for SA-N series naval surface-to-air missiles, ...
M-3 (NATO codename SA-NX-2) (missile V-800, V-760/755) experimental variant with four short wrap-around boosters forward, like the Seaslug system from the UK. [22] As previously mentioned, most nations with S-75s have matched parts from different versions or third-party missile systems, or they have added locally produced components.
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.

Missile defense is a system, weapon, or technology involved in the detection, tracking, interception, and also the destruction of attacking missiles.Conceived as a defense against nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), its application has broadened to include shorter-ranged non-nuclear tactical and theater missiles.
Semi-active radar homing (SARH) is a common type of missile guidance system, perhaps the most common type for longer-range air-to-air and surface-to-air missile systems. The name refers to the fact that the missile itself is only a passive detector of a radar signal—provided by an external ("offboard") source—as it reflects off the target [1] [2] (in contrast to active radar homing, which ...
The first V-300 missile was fired 25 July 1951 at the Kapustin Yar test range. The missile, which went by a variety of names depending on the version, used a single liquid-propellant rocket motor. Although its maximum speed was on the order of Mach 2.5, it had a low initial velocity which limited its engagement capability against supersonic ...
