After trials of the S-25 Berkut in 1955, the Soviet Union started development of the RS-25 Dal long-range missile system with the V-400/5V11 missile. It was initially assigned the "SA-5" designation in the West [4] and codenamed "Griffon", but the project was abandoned in 1964. [5] The SA-5 designation was then assigned to the S-200.
U.S. DoD designations for SA-N series naval surface-to-air missiles, with Soviet designations. Note that these are not standard NATO names, NATO uses the regular SA series for naval SAMS also, however the US DoD refers to them by these names: SA-N-1 Goa (4К90 Volna) [SA-3] SA-N-2 Guideline (М-2 Volkhov-M) [SA-2] SA-N-3 Goblet (4K60/4K65 ...
The Strela-10 system was originally designed to use the 9M37 missile as its primary weapon, but its launch system was designed to be also backwards compatible with the 9M31M missile of the earlier 9K31 Strela-1. Each 9M37 missile is 2,200 mm (7.2 ft) long, weighs 40 kg (88 pounds) and carries a 3.5 kg (7–15 pound) warhead.
AN/TWQ-1 Avenger; Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System; FIM-43 Redeye; FIM-92 Stinger; MIM-3 Nike Ajax; MIM-14 Nike-Hercules; CIM-10 BOMARC; MIM-23 Hawk; MIM-72 Chaparral – This is a ground-launched version of the AIM-9 Sidewinder AAM
The first known idea for a guided surface-to-air missile was in 1925, when a beam riding system was proposed whereby a rocket would follow a searchlight beam onto a target. A selenium cell was mounted on the tip of each of the rocket's four tail fins, with the cells facing backwards. [ 2 ]
The complex was capable of firing at 20 targets with 1 or 2 missiles simultaneously, having up to 60 missiles ready to launch. The startup time was 5 minutes (for 18 target channels). There were 56 S-25 series-built complexes manufactured and deployed around the Moscow area, plus one series-built and one experimental deployed at the Kapustin ...
The 9K32 Strela-2 (Russian: Cтрела, lit. 'Arrow'; NATO reporting name SA-7 Grail) is a light-weight, shoulder-fired, surface-to-air missile or MANPADS system. It is designed to target aircraft at low altitudes with passive infrared-homing guidance and destroy them with a high-explosive warhead.
At the same time, Libya began the installation of SA-5 Gammon surface-to-air missile batteries and radars they received from the Soviet Union in late 1985, to bolster their air defense. As the United States Navy had done for several years, they challenged Libya's claim to the Gulf of Sidra by crossing the so-called "Line of Death".
