New modernization of the Osa air defense system in Belarus
The development of an updated version of the Osa air defense system began in Belarus in the 2012 year, in 2016, it was put into service. The modified 9А33B combat vehicle, which is part of the complex, detects targets at a distance of no more than 40 km and has a maximum range of destruction of airborne objects not higher than 9 km.
The new BM 9А33 – 1Б developed by “2566-th plant for the repair of electronic weapons”, increased these figures, respectively, to more than 60 km (detection) and 12 km (defeat). Increased combat capabilities achieved by upgrading electronic systems, "Wasps".
Prototype 9А33 – 1Б currently, according to the Internet portal warspot.ru, is being tested at the Polessky range in the Brest region: rocket launches are being carried out and the compliance of the updated Osa air defense system with the declared characteristics is checked. At the same time, work is being completed on the modernization of target tracking stations and missile sightings and on equipping the complex with the latest functional control equipment.
In Russia, carried out similar work on the modernization of the air defense system. In 2016, the option “Osa-AKM1", Developed by Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant" Kupol ", designed to extend the combat service of the complex for another 10 – 15 years.
ZRK "Wasp»Was developed by the Moscow Research Electromechanical Institute. Work on its creation began in the 1960 year, and ten years later the first tests took place, according to the results of which the Osa was adopted by the Soviet army in 1971. Over 45 years of combat service, the complex was repeatedly upgraded. The latest in the Russian army is a modification of the "Wasp-AKM", developed in 1980 year.
