The Ukrainian company Radioniks and Luch Design Bureau successfully launched missiles from the upgraded Pechora missile systems C-125 M, reports TASS message of the press service of "Ray".

Ukraine has tested the upgraded Pechora complex




From the modernized anti-aircraft missile system, the 5ВХNUMXД-М27 rocket was launched with an active radar homing head. In the initial part of the rocket moves along the aeroballistic trajectory, such a flight of the rocket significantly increases the far boundary of the C-2M air defense system,
says release.

It is reported that "the furthest border of the affected area with new missiles is 40 km, and the maximum height of the affected area is 25 km."



Recall, the modernization of anti-aircraft missile systems is carried out on the basis of the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine from 8 September 2015.

Earlier, Kiev reported on the testing of the Alder missile system. At the end of December 2017, President Petro Poroshenko congratulated Ukrainians on its successful launch. The rocket was developed by engineers Luch.

                Thank you hi I am not an air defense officer, I am a signalman. because more interested in the ACS video. In my unit, there was an ACS of similar target use 9C916 Vivarium. Therefore, I will express some thoughts after a quick look. 1) The breeders are at the place of settlement, so there are no regular calculations, and their preparation is not fast and if the ADF is “abstruse” and “raw” then dreary 2) Monitors look creative, but if they are not of a special design, but “civilian”, then after the first march on the primer, all this beauty will fail 3) “Tyrchik” and the ACS on one chassis are certainly convenient, but believe me, when the EA is torn for a long time and fruitfully, it’s impossible to work fruitfully and you command the driver to start the car and are powered from the chassis, use engine resource, which sooner or later leads to an "oops" with the machine, and at the most inopportune moment. Despite the presence of such a device on my Vivarium, I drove a trailer with EI to the exercises (decommissioned from an old modification) - even though cross-country ability was reduced from this. 4) It is unclear how far the antenna post can be taken from the ACS - this is a matter of principle, since this post is for missiles, as for flies ... but 5) Where is the FVUA and why is Conder a household trip - the first one is needed for marches along dirt dusty roads, and the second on these marches will probably be instantaneous and then at 50 degrees in the shade it will turn the kung into a branch of hell. Well, and finally - I really liked the emblem at the beginning of the video - well, very western and creative smile

                The last attempt to modernize the S-125 air defense system took place in 1980, when it was proposed to transfer the missile guidance station to a digital element base, to decouple the missile and target channels by introducing two control posts (it allowed the introduction of the "full anticipation" method to increase the distant border of the affected area to 42 km ) and the introduction of a rocket homing channel. These proposals were rejected due to fears that the updated S-125 would interfere with the production of S-300P air defense systems that had begun. "Interestingly, what new things did Ukrainians bring to the S-125 air defense system?

                    Read the link to the end. In 1970-1980, problems with the S-300P were higher than the roof, therefore, they decided not to spray efforts on the production of the S-125M Pechora. If it were not possible to bring to mind the S-300P, then the S-75 Volkhov M-4 and S-125M Pechora-2 would go into production. These air defense systems were created to secure work on the S-300P air defense system

                        But about the Ukrainian modernization of the S-125 air defense system. In 2017, it was announced that Radionics LLC had developed a program to modernize the export version of the Soviet S-125 Pechora anti-aircraft missile system to the S-125M-2UM level. The modernization program includes the replacement of the UNV antenna post with 36D6 radar, the modernization of the 5P73 launcher and the modernization of the 5V27D missiles with the replacement of the 5C45 missile launch accelerator with a new launch accelerator (which can extend the life of the anti-aircraft missile for another 10 years) [8].

                        But this news may turn out to be fake: something, somewhere, once.
                        First starts. Missiles with new GOS from the Radionics company.

        What will improve in the S-125 if you completely change all the electronics? In fact, this is a complete replacement of the product. Cheaper new systems to develop with greater speed, range and maneuverability of the rocket.

      Lopatov, the operation of the C-200 of all modifications has always been difficult and costly. "Dvuhsotku" for several reasons, it is much more difficult to modernize, and liquid-based missiles almost everywhere have developed a resource. C-125 is much easier in all respects. The modernized Russian Pechera-2M is a success on the foreign market. In Belarus, Poland and Ukraine in the past, too, they were engaged in the modernization of the C-125, but nowhere had they used an anti-aircraft missile system with a radar seeker. I would venture to suggest that the specialists of the Kiev enterprise “Luch” used a semi-active head from P-27. In the past, rockets of this type were made there, although other options are possible. Our "high-willed" leaders, shortly before the coup, placed an order in Ukraine for the production of P-77 SD.

              There is such a HAW, the fate of the development is similar and now it is also for the poor, outdated.
              Conclusion - the performance characteristics of air targets have changed, it is time to change the anti-aircraft technology.
              Refine, upgrade, extend the service life purely for economic reasons. Obsolete air defense systems cannot get closer to the parameters of modern anti-aircraft systems, for any money!

                Well, if you consider Japan, Italy and Israel to be poor, then I agree with you. With what modern ZRS you propose to compare the upgraded C-125 and "Us Hawk" translated modern solid-state electronics. In its class, these are quite decent complexes capable of fighting all existing tactical and carrier-based aircraft.

                  For example, the lack of money from the customer, the lack of a real enemy with sophisticated, advanced techniques for attack !!!

                    Who do you mean by "real"? If you are in the "topic" then you should know how in our 90-e they still wrote off fully combat-ready complexes. And in terms of the range, height and speed of hitting the target, the modernized “hundred-twenty-five” is quite at the level. And when using an optical television channel, noise immunity is even nothing.
                    Where is armed with a modernized "Us Hawk", I wrote to you. Or is it not "real guys"? By the way, it is purely for financial reasons that it was relatively recently removed from service at the USMC, selling it to these "guys."

                      Unfortunately, I saw how they destroyed what could not be destroyed.
                      I did not call the complex completely unusable. they can work, only the range of tasks they have narrowed. they cannot work against everything that the attacker has or can have, that is, not like before. Nobody releases new complexes in the form in which it was developed or modernized. Modify, upgrade the nodes of existing ones ... it is logical, but this is not new. and a modified old one.
                      You can make the rocket “smarter”, replace the radar and the guidance station with a new one ... but fundamentally, by design it will be the same rocket with the performance characteristics in it once.
                      Well, you can’t make Percherson a fast Arabian horse, you can’t. You can of course charge the ski \ pepper to him in one place and he will run of course faster, but he won’t catch up with the horse !!!
                      I repeat, a rocket, a complex of workers, but the range of tasks for them has been reduced! Works for what it can!

                        Perhaps you do not know, but in the updated modification of the missile defense system of the Pecher-2M complex, intended for foreign customers, a new fuel formulation and modern element base are used.

    The video shows that the upgrade touched only 5V27. GOS is very similar to Bukovskaya. About the range, it seems like a fake, it depends on the modernization of the powder charge, and the horse didn’t lie about them in this matter. PU, AP, everything is old, the UNK may have been modified to support the GOS, but nothing is said about it. Everything that can be upgraded on the S-125 has already been done in Russia by the Defensive Systems holding. Kaklam still jump and jump to this level. IMHO.

      and there is. basically modernized the rocket itself. in the complex itself there are a few electronic units, but this is not news; many people modify the electronics in the S-125. but no one missiles.

    All videos about testing new missile systems and upgraded systems from Ukraine are the same throughout the timing. The shooting of the launch is done at a distance, the launch of the rocket is difficult to analyze, the rocket is not visible, then the video ends!
    There are no visual reports of a hit and generally evidence that this is precisely this missile, but to say that it struck something, you don’t have to say, it’s written below

    Well, what kind of missiles close in mass and dimensions do you consider "high class"? And what is this term? The same Syrians consider the Pechera-2M air defense system to be quite an effective complex, capable of carrying out the whole range of tasks assigned to it for a small amount of money. However, you probably know when the serial construction of the C-125М1 and C-300PT / PS SAM systems began? Anything that is practically the same age? Do you know what the share of C-300PS is in our ZRV, and when the production of the 5ВХNUMXР ZUR is discontinued?

          By and large, yes. Yes
          But personally, I think the refusal of the latest C-125 variants in 90 is a big mistake. These numerous complexes could cover secondary objects, including those from the KR, and supplement C-300P. Moreover, the minimum height of damage in C-125М1 is even less than that of C-300PS. The “Stovadtsatipyatka” had an excellent modernization potential, and could still serve. And so, the complexes transferred "in storage" are basically just looted.

            Without question, the complex is operational and, with proper modernization, fits into any layered air defense. Performs tasks that are available to him ... and yes it would be cheaper!
