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 ...
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 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 AIM-174B is a long-range air-to-air missile (AAM) developed by U.S. defense contractor Raytheon and used by the United States Navy (USN). The AIM-174B is a derivative of the RIM-174B Standard Extended Range Active Missile (ERAM, Standard Missile-6, or SM-6) surface-to-air missile, a member of the extended Standard Missile family, with the USN describing the AIM-174B as the "Air-Launched ...
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 FIM-92 Stinger is a passive surface-to-air missile that can be shoulder-fired by a single operator (although standard military procedure calls for two operators – team chief and gunner). [4] The Stinger was intended to supplant the FIM-43 Redeye system, the principal difference being that, unlike the Redeye, the Stinger can acquire the ...
The S-300 (NATO reporting name SA-10 Grumble) is a series of long-range surface-to-air missile systems developed by the former Soviet Union. It was produced by NPO Almaz for the Soviet Air Defence Forces to defend against air raids and cruise missiles. It is used by Russia, Ukraine, and other former Eastern Bloc countries, along with Bulgaria ...
