SA-12 S-300V Gladiator MIssile

The missile is designed to engage both modern and prospective air targets, including strategic, tactical and naval aircraft, strategic cruise missiles, air-launched missiles, tactical and battlefield ballistic missiles and other air attack weapons over a wide range of combat environments.
The 5V55R is a single-stage missile employing the normal aerodynamic configuration, with control surfaces unfolded after launch.
The missile is kept in a hermetically sealed launch canister and need not be tested and adjusted during its service life.
The missile is equipped with a highly efficient solid-propellant motor and comprises sections housing a radio direction finder, onboard control units (made as a monoblock), high-explosive fragmentation warhead, solid-propellant motor and control surface actuators.


The missile is launched vertically by the canister catapult without a preliminary turn of the launcher toward the target.
After ignition of the motor, the missile is tilted in the required direction depending on the target position.
The missile employs the track-via-missile guidance principle.
The high maneuverability of the missile and powerful high-explosive fragmentation warhead provide effective target destruction.

That's a little premature isn't it? The U.S. is fighting two unresolved wars and you're talking about starting a 3rd? Good thing you're in no position of power. You sound like the idiots who thought Iraq would be done with after a couple months of carpet bombing.

I was just watching sa-2 videos and i must say, it'simpressive how this system has evolved. Also, I noticed how the flight pattern here is much more stable and controlled, beautiful.

@misteraxl1 Copying a moron only shows that you're a stupid parrot.

[StiviGun1]

@misteraxl1 Yeah, I know, the S-300V is a very powerful system. It's more powerful than the Patriot.

[misteraxl1]

@StiviGun1 you have everything you need on wikipedia ... really, do some search, man.

[misteraxl1]

@StiviGun1 on Wkipedia it says from 3800 mph to 5000 mph depends of systems version. Speed of normal jet fighter (f-16 example) is 1500 mph. So this missile is 2-3 times faster than f-16.

slight correction .. the S-300V uses 9M82 and 9M83 family made by Novator Design Bureau as its missile :D

the 5V55 family which was made by Fakel Design Bureau belongs to S-300P SAM system
