"Rearmament has begun": Anti-aircraft missile system S-350 "Vityaz" went to the troops

The Ministry of Defense has begun supplying the S-350 Vityaz anti-aircraft missile systems to the troops. The Southern Military District was the first to re-equip with the new complex.

General of the Army Alexander Dvornikov, commander of the district troops, said that the complex is currently being adopted by one of the anti-aircraft missile regiments deployed in the Krasnodar Territory. The general did not name the start and end dates for the rearmament of the regiment, confining himself to the message that deliveries of the S-350 are already underway.

The fact that the first regimental set of the S-350 Vityaz air defense system will be delivered to the troops in 2021 was reported by the Ministry of Defense in February of this year. However, no specific information was provided.

Recall that the first set of S-350 did not go to the troops, but was sent to the training center in Gatchina for the education and training of specialists. The delivery took place in early 2020.

S-350 "Vityaz" - a medium-range air defense system capable of striking a manned Aviation (airplanes, helicopters) drones, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles, including low-flying targets. The complex is designed to replace the S-300PS and Buk-M1-2 in the troops.

The maximum number of simultaneously hit aerodynamic targets - 16, ballistic - 12. The maximum range of destruction - 60 km, height - 30 km. The deployment time of the system in a combat position is 5 minutes.

finally the fact has come true! An excellent long awaited complex.

[Grandfather]

after 8 years of testing ...

[Incvizitor]

Well, yes, it is better to accept the underdeveloped, release in hundreds and then finish hundreds of them like with Fu 35.

[hrych]

Fast to cats The country was not naked, the Buk was on duty for these 8 years and the S-300V "Antey-300V.

Probably all the same not to replace, but to supplement. Nothing just disappears with us. If desired, they will also be able to fight the T-34

I did not understand you, Buk M3 is and will go to the troops, and Vityaz is going to replace old and beeches m1 and m2 ...

[NDR-791]

Our old Eski and Beeches will simply move to less dangerous and less important basing areas, but most likely they will remain in service until the resource is fully depleted. This happens with us all the time and not only with air defense. And the fact that in the end they will completely replace them so I do not argue

[Sandor Clegane]

I don't argue with that))

[hrych]

This is a highly mobile complex on wheels. PU SAM, radar and PBU on the universal. wheeled chassis. An analogue in terms of performance characteristics of an ascomin-filled, but only immobile, stationary and leaky, iron dome. A BUK M-3 on a tracked platform. Both PU and with an excellent telescopic radar on a tracked platform. Plus a transport-loader, etc. Therefore, these complexes are not directly analogous, but for a different theater of military operations. Let's call the Buk M-3 a direct battlefield complex, or something. Therefore, Vityaz is highly mobile, but requires roads, will not displace the mobile Buk M-3, which goes wherever, there is a road, but will keep its cluster in the air defense system.

[Alex777]

In fact, there is military air defense and air defense of the Aerospace Forces (countries).
Tracked chassis for military complexes.
Wheeled - Air Defense Forces (countries).
Troops: Tor M2, Buk M3, S-300V4.
Air Defense Forces: Pantsir, Vityaz, S-400.
The purpose of the complexes is different.
Therefore, the characteristics are different.

Agree

[The popuas]

The beech seems to fire on the move, but 350 takes 5 minutes to deploy! how can he replace it?

[Hiller]

Buk is in service with anti-aircraft missile brigades of army subordination, i.e. subordinate to the commander of the combined arms (tank) army.

Buk M3 is a military air defense. The S-350 is an air defense system of the VKS, that is, an object.

[venik]

=======
So "BukM3" goes to the VOICE OF AIR (As they used to say: Air Defense of the Ground Forces ") !!! And" Vityaz "is the air defense of the Aerospace Forces (formerly it was called the air defense of the COUNTRY) !!!

[Barberry25]

This is Mriya Almazovtsy at one time to sit down on a fat topic replacing Bucks in the troops, but they delayed the tests, as a result, the Tikhomirovtsy managed to finish the M3 ... So only PSs will replace it as object air defense and that's it ..

[Tcheluskin]

It seems they wrote that the Vityaz missiles are significantly more expensive than the Buk-M3.

[Barberry25]

Well, I don't know the price tag, but the beech-m3 is still a car of a different level .. it can support troops in theory on the march, but the 350s are not

[Romario_Argo]

Vityaz missiles are significantly more expensive than Buk-M3

what's the difference, the budget of the Ministry of Defense was still classified

[Vadim237]

MO budget 4.5% of Russia's annual GDP.

[AC130 Gunship]

If I had exhausted it, it would not have been shown at the parade

[Zaurbek]

A beech on a tracked chassis ... military, and this is wheeled for the protection of objects. But ununification is our everything. It is possible to unify missiles and equipment.

[Doccor18]

A reliable replacement for Buku has come.
Now it's all about the industry ...

[Barberry25]

just not Buku ..

Yes, the Buk is not going to retire.
Moreover, it recently underwent modernization, in fact, becoming a new system.

[Romario_Argo]

yeah
its radar 50N6A for the place of the Poliment radar needs to be installed on frigates of Project 22350
the increase will not be 12 but 32 channels per 1 canvas i.e. circular 32 x 4 = 128 channels
only on the frigate only 32 zur
well, to the extreme, to the project 22350M

Not a bad option.
Still, 32 missiles for a modern frigate (the main surface ship of the fleet) is not enough.

[URAL72]

The S-300 has long been asking for retirement. It is well studied by NATO. I am very pleased with the fire performance and the number of missiles on the Vityaz launcher.

I believe that it is not worth overestimating the knowledge of NATO specialists in studying the characteristics of the S-300, which has not fully exhausted its potential, that is, its military version, which is being replaced (in addition?) By the Vityaz.
After all, all the "experience" in familiarization with the old S-300 comes down to training with the Greeks, on its stripped-down export version, and abruptly taking off the characteristics of the radars of the complexes in Syria and other places.
Of course, the S-300 is an "old acquaintance" for them, but the complex itself is only an element in an echeloned system, the experience of overcoming which the adversary has simply nowhere to take ...

[URAL72]

And don't you know that the former member of the Internal Affairs Directorate, and now a NATO member Bulgaria, having the S-300PS, regularly conducts exercises with US aviation, etc. to overcome air defense NOT Bulgaria? The MiG-29 is also involved. And the delivery of this complex from Ukraine and Belarus back in the 90s?

90s, 90s ... How not to remember them ... But the point is that we have safely turned over this dark page, and have gone much further both in quality and in the structure of air defense.

So ... Let them train on the "ghosts of the cold war"
It's akin to "cat training" , if you know what I mean...

Are you not "aware" that the S-300PS and S-400 are ABSOLUTELY DIFFERENT systems?
By the way - the Americans have still not been able to "decipher" the S-300PS ... ???
PS General "hello" to NATO "experts" !!!

[Nikolaevich I]

Now we would take up the modernization of the 48N6 SAM of all modifications!
Replace the semi-active radar seeker with a 2-mode seeker (semi-active + active modes of the "radar" seeker) ... reduce the "mass" of the warhead explosive ... due to the "economy" add gas-dynamic lateral control and increase the range and height of destruction of air targets! Something like that !

And what about the site - the message on the site is reflected backwards?

Yes ... for 9M96E2 (9M96MD?), The range was called 120 km, and the height was 30 km ... True, in some "sources", already later, there is a number of 150 km in range ... Explanations for this "change" in I'm not ...

[Dart2027]

Quote: Nikolaevich I

I have no explanation for this "change"

Various modifications are possible.

[AC130 Gunship]

And what's the point of issuing TTX? You can say, for example, 80, but in reality there are, say, 200. Well that's good. And then he told me in the distant 91m in AB. Hotilovo, one Mig25 pilot, that the ground air defense took him out while trying to intercept Rust to the zone where he was an hour ago. Rust flew quietly. The Ministry of Defense Sokolov and another 20 generals fled from their post

[Castro Ruiz]

How is it with the tnz. dead corner?

[Victor Tsenin]

In echeloned defense, that corner is dead)

[Castro Ruiz]

Almost all air defense / missile defense systems have a zone where their radar is invisible (dead corner). It is bigger or smaller. Normalno asked what the C-350 was. And he eats with him.
And you don't need to write about escalation. I know that he will decide.

[Victor Tsenin]

Not almost everyone, but everyone. Why is this question when we are not talking about the front, i.e. a priori about layered air defense with ACS? And who will tell you it in your opinion, and what about you with the Russian?

[Castro Ruiz]

I am interested in air defense / missile defense systems as some of the nikhs are considered the best in the world.
Just fishing for fish. I am not Russian and it’s unfortunate Google translation.

[Victor Tsenin]

With regard to our systems, then, in principle, in each class, in general, our version is better and the best in terms of price / efficiency. You know, I do not think that Google translator will give out conditionally fish eating instead of curiosity, etc. Be that as it may, the data about which you are asking about the complex, just put into service, are secret) And change the translator, some kind of bad translator you have)

[Wolf]

If someone thinks that Beech M1 and M2 are outdated, WE BUY THEM WITHOUT VAPROS, offer a price?

[Wolf]

Scored С300, and them too!

[TermNachTer]

Great news, I would like it to appear on ships !!!!

[Lair]

The shipborne air defense missile system "Poliment / Redut" was created on the basis of the S-350 and has long been adopted by the Russian Navy.

[TermNachTer]

Of course it is, but how many ships does it have? And I would like to see everyone, including the frigate.

[NF68]

It seems to be a "trifle", but a good trifle.

[Pamir]

There is no variable air defense. As G. Zhukov said after the Second World War, if I am not mistaken, grief and darkness await the country that will not be able to repel air raids
Moreover, it is interesting that the SAM-MANPADS complexes are one hundred percent DEFENSE. They are NOT subject to any restrictive agreements.

[Stepan S]

the complex goes into service with one of the anti-aircraft missile regiments stationed in the Krasnodar Territory. The general did not name the start and end dates for the rearmament of the regiment, confining himself to the message that deliveries of the S-350 are already underway.

Usually, the regimental kit comes in full with preliminary launches at the range.

[DED_peer_DED]

According to the commander of the military district, General of the Army Alexander Dvornikov, the complex is currently being adopted by one of the anti-aircraft missile regiments. stationed in the Krasnodar Territory.

But, I'll try to guess where the first S-350 complexes will go ...
Near Sochi?

Too long. It is advisable to bring to mind three times faster, but this is not a program to update, but, probably, to redo the hardware.
