The NPO Almaz S-200 Angara/Vega/Dubna

(Russian Ангара\Вега\Дубна)
NATO reporting name SA-5 Gammon, is a very long range, medium-to-high altitude surface-to-air missile (SAM) system designed to defend large areas from bomber attack or other strategic aircraft (such as the SR-71 "Blackbird"). Each battalion has 6 single-rail missile launchers for the 10.72 m (35 ft) long missiles and a fire control radar. It can be linked to other, longer-range radar systems.
Each missile is launched by 4 solid-fueled strap-on rocket boosters. After they burn out and drop away (between 3 to 5.1 seconds from launch) it fires a 5D67 liquid fueled sustainer rocket engine (for 51-150 seconds) which burns a fuel called TG-02 Samin (50% xylidine and 50% triethylamine), oxidized by an oxidizing agent called AK-27P Melange (fuming nitric acid enriched with nitrogen oxides, phosphoric acid and hydrofluoric acid)[3]. Maximum range is between 150 and 300 km (81 and 162 nmi), depending on the model[4]. The missile uses radio illumination mid-course correction to fly towards the target with a terminal semi active radar homing phase. Maximum target speed is around Mach 4. Effective altitude is 300 to 20,000 m (1,000 to 65,600 ft) for early models and up to 35,000 m (115,000 ft) for later models. The warhead is either 217 kg (478 lb) high explosive fragmentation (16,000 2g fragmentation pellets and 21,000 3.5g pellets) triggered by radar proximity fuse or command signal, or a 25 kT nuclear warhead triggered by command signal only. Each missile weighs around 7018 kg (15,500 lb) at takeoff.

The system utilises radio semi active guidance with mid-course correction and has, for the first time in a Russian system, terminal semi active radar homing, which is far more accurate at long range than the command guidance method used by the S-75 Dvina and other missiles. The existence of an optional terminal passive radar homing mode for use against AEW aircraft remains unconfirmed. Peak missile speed is around Mach 8 and the single-shot kill probability is quoted as 0.85, presumably against a high altitude bomber-type target.

Main radar system

The fire control radar of the S-200 system is the 5N62 (NATO: Square Pair) CW H band radar, whose range is 270 km (168 mi). It is used for both the tracking of targets and their illumination.

Additional radar systems * P-14/5N84A "Tall King" A-band early warning radar (range 600 km\372 mi, 2-6 RPM, maximum search altitude 46 km\150,000 ft) * or "Big Back" E-band early warning radar (range 600 km\372 mi) * Kabina 66/5N87 "Back Net" or "Back Trap" E-band early warning radar (with special low-altitude search mod, range 370 km\230 mi, 3-6 RPM) * P-35/37 "Bar Lock\Bar Lock B" 1000 kW E\F-band target detection and tracking radar (with integrated IFF, range 392 km\242 mi, 7 RPM) * "Side Net" or "Odd Pair" E-band height finding radar (also used by the SA-2, 2K11 Krug and SA-6, range 240 km\148 mi, 3-6 RPM) * P-15M(2) "Squat Eye" 380 kW C-band target detection radar (range 128 km\80 mi)

Versions * S-200A "Angara" (SA-5a), with the V-860/5V21 or V-860P/5V21A missile, introduced in 1967, range 160 km (88 mi), ceiling 20 km (66,000 ft) * S-200V "Vega" (SA-5b), with the V-860PV/5V21P missile, introduced in 1970, range 250 km (155 mi), ceiling 29 km (95,000 ft) * S-200 "Vega" (SA-5b), with the V-870 missile, range increased to 300 km (186 mi) and ceiling to 40 km (125,000ft) with the new, shorter missile and solid fuel motor * S-200M "Vega-M" (SA-5b), with the V-880/5V28 or V-880N/5V28N² missile, range 300 km (186 mi), ceiling 29 km (95,000ft) * S-200VE "Vega-E" (SA-5b), with the V-880E/5V28E missile, export version, high explosive warhead only, range 250 km (155 mi), ceiling 29 km (95,000ft) * S-200D "Dubna" (SA-5c), with the 5V25V, V-880M/5V28M or V-880MN/5V28MN² missile, introduced in 1976, high explosive or nuclear warhead, range 400 km (248 mi), ceiling 40 km (125,000ft).

  • LIBYA S - 200 ALREADY BEEN DISTROY AS SIMPLE TAMOHAWK Missile.

  • @MafiaGENGTEAM1970

    There are Two shortcomings of S-200 missile system.

    First is,Single Target Shooting abilities per 5N62.

    Second is that this System is Designed as a stationary.

    40 Years ago,There was no Conventional guided missile that could threaten S-200.

    But Russians moved on,They Designed S-300.

    S-300PMU2 have abilitiy to in 5 Minutes attack 72 targets with 1 Missile per target

    (kill probability is proven as 99%)

    And Movable system in 5 minutes can be Prepared to Open Fire on Targets.

  • @MafiaGENGTEAM1970

    I read that Group of Several Tomahawk are Launched toward Linbyan SA-5 possitions?

    Look in this way,Many people ask Why Libyan so called Rebels (CIA sponsored Group)

    Don' used S-200 in their Possesion (Around Benghazi)?

    Situation Showed that their techniques are broken up?

    Libyan Aviation have 70% of nonoperating Aircrafts?

    Same situation is in Anti Aircraft Defence forces,technique is in terrible condition.

    They Moved any Perimeter Systems around S-200 in place called Sirt?

  • @MafiaGENGTEAM1970

    Because without perimeter systems,we can't speak about Integrated Air Defense.

    And that is Crucial thing if some country want to Fully cover their territory.

    Also Libyans only posses small range systems like ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" or 9K38 "Igla" that can intercept

    Tomahawk cruise missiles,like Serbians Do in 1999.

    but this is Not completely Safe and reliable way to intercept the Tomahawk cruise missiles

    (which was designed as a tool for disabling the stationary S-200 system).

  • @MafiaGENGTEAM1970

    So there are needs to have in possesion,Advanced medium range,multy target systems

    which have ability to Intercept Small maneuverable targets (Cruise Missiles,Guided Missiles and Bombs).

    Systems like Tor M1 (9M330) or Pantsir-S1.

    Systems like 9K33 "Osa" and 9K22 "Tunguska" can do the job.

    Iran for that Purpose obitained Tor (9K330) system.

    With such Perimeter protection,there no way to easily destroy Multy Ray S-200.

    Russia still used 3x S-200D near Gvardeysk (Kaliningrad).

  • very fast booster S-200 N for Nuclear not D dubna !!!

  • @lepricoun

    S-200N?

    Version with such designation is Never Developed or Introduced

    and for sure never Produced !!!

    Sistem S-200D "Dubna" (SA-5c), have Missiles the 5V25V, V-880M/5V28M or

    V-880MN/5V28MN

    (this type of Missile V-880N have Nuclear Warhead).

    Sistem is introduced in 1976, Missile have High explosive or nuclear warhead.

    Effective range is 400 km,ceiling is 40 km.

  • My dad served in rus army and worked with s-200

  • @odzadze123

    Now Russian have created the S-400 and S-500 if you think that the S-300 was good try the S-500 maybe one day they might create an S-600.

  • Omg, music from 4:26 made me wanna build a rocket.. :D

  • Fuuuuuuuu!!!

  • I THINK THESE THINGS CAN BRING DOWN EVERY AIR BORN ITEM
