Anti-aircraft S-200 Missile

ai generated text

The S-200 missile system is a long-range, high-altitude surface-to-air missile system developed by the Soviet Union in the 1960s to defend large areas from high-altitude bombers or other targets. The system was deployed primarily on the battalion level, with six launchers and a fire control radar, and was capable of being linked to other longer-range radar systems. The S-200 was designed to defend important administrative, industrial, and military installations from all types of air attack, and was an all-weather system that could operate in various climatic conditions. The system was widely deployed in the Soviet Union, with over 2,000 launchers in service by the 1980s, and was also exported to other countries, including Iran, which has implemented several improvements on the system. The S-200 features a range of over 300 kilometers and can engage targets at high altitudes, but lacks the mobility of more modern air defense systems, such as the S-400.learn more on wikipedia
