C-350 "The Knight" is ready to enter the army
In addition to the “Vityazi” in 2019, it is planned to bring into the Russian Federation of the Russian Federation about 10 sets of the Pantsir-S air defense missile system and the C-400 air defense missile system.
ZRK C-350 "Vityaz" - is the latest development of Russian gunsmiths. Weapon C-350 series is a medium-range complex used for the organization of air defense. Vityaz was developed by the designers of the Almaz-Antey concern, whose products are known to be in great demand from foreign customers. Until 2020, the Ministry of Defense plans to acquire at least 38 sets of C-350 ..
The development of an experimental version of the complex began in the 90s of the last century. For the first time an experimental version of the C-350, mounted on the KamAZ chassis, was shown as an exhibit at the Max-2001 air show. The newest weapon replaced one of the obsolete modifications of the C-300.
The Vityaz complex is focused on the creation of multi-stage protection ensuring the safety of the state’s airspace. SAM can hit manned Aviation (airplanes, helicopters) drones, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles. In addition, it is able to prevent impacts from low-flying objects. Compared to the S-400 analogue, the S-350 Vityaz complex is somewhat smaller in size, while it belongs to a highly mobile weapon and uses similar 9M96E2 ammunition.
The first prototype of the Vityaz C-350 air defense system was shown to the public at the Obukhov combine in St. Petersburg in 2013. From this moment on, the veil of secrecy has been removed from the weapon. The main production is focused on the state combine in Obukhov.
The new installation can operate in self-propelled mode, together with a fixed wide-function radar. Also, the ability of electronic scanning space and the presence of a command post on the main chassis. The weapon is designed to protect civilian and military targets from massive strikes inflicted by various types of air attack weapons.
The complex can repel the enemy attack in the 360 sector of degrees from various kinds of attacks with small and extended missile flight intervals. Working autonomously, the system can be part of the air defense groups of the Russian Federation with control from other command posts, while the staff crew provides only the control of the work of weapons in firing.
Modern models of the Vityaz anti-aircraft complex are installed on the BAZ-69092-012 chassis. The following are some of the tactical and technical characteristics of this weapon:
The power plant is a hp 470 diesel engine.
Curb weight - 15,8 t.
Payload - 14,2 t.
The total weight after installation is up to 30 tons.
The maximum lifting angle is 30 degrees.
The depth of the ford is 1700 mm.
The defeat of aerodynamic / ballistic targets at the same time - 16 / 12.
The index of the synchronous number of induced anti-aircraft controlled charges - 32.
Parameters of the affected area by maximum range and height (aerodynamic targets) - 60 / 30 km.
Similar characteristics for ballistic type targets - 30 / 25 km.
The period of bringing the vehicle to combat status on the march is no more than 5 minutes.
The crew of the crew in this case is 3 person.
