A new anti-aircraft missile brigade with the Buk-M3 air defense system has been formed in the Southern Military District

A new anti-aircraft missile brigade, armed with the Buk-M3 air defense system, is deployed in the Southern Military District. The formation of a new connection was completed at the end of last year.

In the south of Russia, the formation of a new anti-aircraft missile brigade has been completed, the unit has received equipment and is fully staffed. The main armament of the brigade is the Buk-M3 anti-aircraft missile systems, which are the most modern version of this air defense system. Reportedly "News" citing military sources, the brigade became part of the 8th Guards Combined Arms Order of Lenin Army of the Southern Military District, stationed in the Volgograd and Rostov regions.

The formation of a new brigade was announced at the beginning of last year. According to the plan of the military department, the new brigade will become a mobile reserve, capable, if necessary, of covering the most dangerous areas, including the Crimea. In addition, the transfer of the brigade to the western direction in case of emergency is not ruled out.

The new Buk-M3 air defense missile system carries 6 anti-aircraft missiles in special containers instead of 4 like the Buk-M2. Also, the complex adopted a new high-speed missile 9M317M with a homing head. It is capable of intercepting high-speed aerial targets at a distance of up to 30 km or shooting "beyond the horizon." This allows you to direct it to the target using early warning aircraft (AWACS), fighters or any other air reconnaissance aircraft up to unmanned aerial vehicles. One air defense system is capable of simultaneously firing at up to 4 targets, a division - up to 36 targets flying at speeds of up to 3 km per second at ranges from 2,5 to 70 km. The probability of defeat is not less than 0,95–0,97.

SAM "Buk-M3" - a medium-range military air defense complex of the fourth generation. Designed to combat maneuvering aerodynamic targets, fire at radio-contrast ground targets and defeat surface targets in conditions of intense fire and electronic countermeasures.

yes, enough already rushing around with this UAV, the task of the anti-aircraft missile brigade is to cover the troops and objects of the combined arms / tank army, respectively, the nomenclature of the enemy’s air defense system is significant and bairaktars do not occupy the first lines in it

Too expensive and big for them.

Air defense, ground-based electronic warfare, nuclear weapons, then what you can, if not be proud of, then be calm, otherwise there are still questions.

[Sling of David]

Alexander, the last time Russian (Soviet) air defense distinguished themselves 48 years ago during the Yom Kippur War. Of the recent successes, I can only note the downing of a Ukrainian Boeing by an Iranian TOR. Of the successes of Russian EW, I can note the loss of my personal DJI Drone in northern Israel as a result of the activities of Russian EW in an attempt to counter the Israeli Air Force in Syria.

[TerraSandera]

Um, I certainly understand the desire to show off, but why do it under my comment? And here 48 years ago and modern air defense systems, electronic warfare of the Russian Federation? According to the drone, I sympathize, these are "collateral losses" This happens in war

[prior]

As I understand it, the Ukrainian sky must be reliably protected .... from Ukrainian aircraft.

[Barberry25]

well, in the case of a reconciliation operation, one of the scenarios involves a complete closure of 250 km from the border of the sky and rocket and artillery strikes on communication / control / supply centers and defense strongholds. They will try to minimize close contact

Nothing pleases the eye like the ZRDN groups neatly placed along the borders of the LDNR!

[Barberry25]

even more pleased if Iskanders and Tornadoes dug in nearby

[svoit]

Designed to combat maneuvering aerodynamic targets,

a very useful property, especially if the probability of damage is not reduced to at least 50g

[Yuri VO]

You don't have to worry about our air borders in the southern territories.
The most powerful military air defense system.

The new air defense system "Buk-M3" carries 6 anti-aircraft missiles

- probably it was worth clarifying that there are two types of launchers 9A317M for 6 missiles and 9A316M for 12 missiles, the latter is shown in the photo ...

======
Probably it is necessary to clarify that 9A317M is not a launcher, but fire installation (it is called SOU 9A317M), and 9A316M is a transport and launcher (TPU), operates under the control of SOU (for one SOU -1 TPU) or RPN 9S36M (attached to 2 TPU).

========
Yes, there seems to be the possibility of overloading blocks on the SDA using TZM .... So what can be used and how purely transport, although in the version with the 9S36M radar they really act as exclusively launchers. And on the other hand - what's the difference on the manifig? There is the possibility of universalization (without prejudice to the main function) - that's great!

- agree one hundred percent

[venik]

Greetings, Andrew!
As for me, the Buk-M3 is generally an AMAZING system - it really has NO analogues in the world:
First - the equipment can be completely different: the battery can consist of either 3 SOU and 3 TPU and TZM or 2 OLTC and 4 TPU and TZM; A division in general can have a mixed system.
Secondly - the system has incredible combat survivability: even the destruction of a surveillance radar and a command post does not lead to a loss of combat capability - it’s just that the batteries begin to work autonomously, in their area of ​​​​responsibility (if possible, using data from other surveillance radars of various types) ...
Well, the highest parameters of the probability of hitting the widest (in terms of speeds, maneuverability and altitudes) range of targets: 0,95 - 0,97 .....

[SKVichyakow]

The author, there are not only 6, but also 12 missiles. You don’t even look at the photo you submitted. How is that possible?

[Normann]

For a long time, some authors on this resource absolutely ... if only there was a hype (((

[NKT]

According to the plan of the military department, the new brigade will become a mobile reserve capable, if necessary, of covering the most dangerous areas, including Crimea. In addition, the transfer of the brigade to the western direction in case of emergency is not excluded.

Was it not more logical to create several separate RGK brigades, armed with both air defense and OTRK systems, than in the event of an aggravation of the situation, "pull" them from the associations?

[Stepan S]

The 9A316M launcher is made on the GM-5969 chassis and has two arrows for installing 12 TPKs with missiles. Maybe from this angle it will be easier for the author to understand that in the presented photo there is an installation with 12 missiles.

[Scharnhorst]

On the intro of the article and in your photo, the so-called transport charging machines are shown. Their main task is to deliver ammunition in a timely manner and reload self-propelled firing mounts, which receive 6 missiles each. The main difference between the SDA is the presence of a radar with a phased array. In combat work, it is possible to launch a missile with a TZM, but it controls it in flight with a SOU .. As part of a division of 6 SOU and TZM, in addition, a mobile control post and a target detection station on the same chassis as the missile carriers. Killer complex. It's a pity you can't let them into the Crimea on their own - they will tear the Tavrida highway with gooses.

- you are mistaken, these are not TZMs, but launchers without radar

[Serge-667]

It's a pity you can't let Crimea go on your own - goose will tear the Tavrida highway

Actually, there are landing ships at the World Cup .. And there, in the fields where necessary.

[Lord of the Sith]

I wonder how many Buk-M3 units are in the brigade?

[Stepan S]

The Buk-M3 complex (division) includes a 9S510M command post, a detection and target designation station with a 9S36M radar, two 9A317M autonomous self-propelled firing systems (SDA) with six 9M317M anti-aircraft guided missiles in the TPK, one or two transport and launchers ( TPU) 9A316M with 12 anti-aircraft guided missiles 9M317M in TPK, as well as transport-loading vehicles (TZM) 9T243. The delivered first brigade set of the Buk-M3 air defense system, apparently, includes two divisions.

[Comet]

Wrong. Each SOU works with one PU. Each on-load tap-changer works with a pair of launchers. In the division up to 6 SOU or up to 6 RPN. "Basic" is considered a "configuration" with 4 SOU and 2 tap changers. Accordingly, there will be an amount of PU. Regular SOC - 9S38.

[Kaw]

or shoot "beyond the horizon". This allows you to direct it to the target with the help of early warning radar aircraft (AWACS), fighters or any other air reconnaissance aircraft up to unmanned aerial vehicles.

Sci-fi fantasies of the author?
In Russia, there are no such AWACS that can highlight targets with ground-based air defense. In addition to the Ka-31 helicopter, of which there are only two in our country (judging by open sources).

[Serge-667]

What kind of air defense system is in Volgograd, can anyone explain to me?
If they put it under Temryuk, it would be understandable.
Or is someone rushing to us from Europe along the old route?

[Crabong]

It's good that missiles are in containers now ...

[Yuriy77]

... The new Buk-M3 air defense system carries 6 anti-aircraft missiles in special containers - am I the only one who sees two packages of 6 missiles in the picture?

[xomaNN]

Air defense is not getting stronger like a child
And rightly so, you can't stop Western "friends" with verbal disputes. And BUKM3 will make you think
