IG militants claim to have captured the Syrian army’s “Square” SAM

On the eve of the militants of the so-called "Islamic State" published a photo, the signature under which says that in the area of ​​Deir-ez-Zor was captured anti-aircraft missile system 2К12 "Cube" (export version - "Square"). The report, published by the militants, says that the seizure of the anti-aircraft missile system of the Russian (actually - Soviet, - VO) production took place at one of the positions of the Syrian government army. According to statements by ISIL militants, several anti-aircraft missiles were in their hands.

Such a complex was widely exported by the Soviet Union over 40 years ago. The Kvadrat SAM system took part in numerous armed conflicts in the Middle East. The main operators of the “Cub” air defense system (“Square”) besides the armed forces of the Soviet Union (at one time) and Syria were (are) such countries as India, Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait, Poland.

In a number of Western (as well as Ukrainian) media outlets managed to misinterpret information about the seizure by militants of the Kvadrat air defense system, writing that igilovtsy "captured the anti-aircraft missile system from the servicemen of the Russian army." This disinformation in the format of “spoiled phone” is distributed in a number of foreign segments of social networks and the media “information”.

The main question is whether the militants will be able to use the anti-aircraft missile system if it really was captured by them from the Syrian army? If we consider that there are quite a few former soldiers of the Iraqi army as part of the IG, in which the Kvadrat air defense system was in service, this probability is high.

The bad news ... Although, it seems to me that it was not the Syrians who seized him, but the sponsors delivered them this complex ...

Yes, actually this news has been around for about a week, at first the noise seemed to rise, and then everything calmed down.

A captured "cube" is not a problem.
Or do you seriously think that we do not have the means to suppress air defense? Moreover, not some new air defense, but ours, the old - about which we all know, up to the frequency range of a particular radar.

And the fact that ISIS openly admit that they seized this air defense only means that they cannot use it.
Because it would be much more competent to keep this fact a secret in order to try to unexpectedly bring down an airplane.

These sheep farmers, as you put it, managed to seize the half of Iraq and Syria, became the headache of the whole world. The enemy cannot be underestimated so much.

As we all know, there are many former military men of Saddam among ISIS = Tsev. It is possible that among them there are specialists in air defense. This type of air defense system was in service with the Saddam army, so the presence of air defense systems in ISIS can be a big problem.

Many Iranian planes and helicopters were shot down by similar air defense systems during the Iran-Iraq war.

They could not capture it for what positions, and the front seems to be moving in the other direction, so that a clean fit and probably a working complex. Who will work on it? So remember Georgia, who worked there? Like it or not, the news is not good. We hope that we know the frequencies and modes of our complex well and drown them out without problems.

This news is almost a month old, even if the complex is in a combat-ready state, I’m not sure that the Basmachis will successfully use it. Is there an abundance of old-counter systems, and when did the Arabs successfully use it?

Maybe they captured, maybe someone gave, the main thing is whether they have an intelligence and guidance installation.

... Not only .... The complex is quite old and the level of noise immunity is weak .... I think that modern electronic warfare systems will quickly "extinguish", and there are anti-radar missiles on the signal of the guidance station (the same x-31) .... I think they have been in Syria for a long time and are part of the wearable ammunition load of cover aircraft ... But still bad news ...

[your1970]

Work in firing mode - when our aircraft dominate in the air = death of calculation. I think even the stubborn ISIS understand this, army specialists of the army of S. Hussein understand these repeatedly(for that they are specialists). Especially taking into account the experience of defeating the army of S. Hussein, when US aircraft took air ....

[Kent0001]

And this is the most important question in this situation.

[Orionvit]

Yes, they have nothing. Dumb Arabs can only be trusted with a Kalashnikov assault rifle, and that’s why it is reliable. As practice shows, if Arabs get modern weapons, it either does not work, or works very poorly. A good example. Iraq. Soviet technology, including modern, he was littered. And what, the Yankees flew to bomb Iraq, as if to their home. Well, maybe a couple of planes have been lost, against the general background this is not even a loss.

[ROD VDVshny]

One car from the complex was not there. Captured from the Syrians near Deir ez-Zor. Doubts about the performance are big. There are supply risks from sponsors of a workable kit for this business.

Come on you Where did the "sponsors" get workable complexes, the production of which was completed in the USSR in the early 80s. In addition, in order to effectively use MANPADS, you must have competent calculations. And for the Kvadrat air defense missile system, it is impassable to train specialists in military schools. In Libya, these systems were also captured by the Islamists, but they could not use them for their intended purpose and, as a result, were converted for firing at ground targets (pictured).

At the IDET-2011 military exhibition in Brno (Czech Republic) in May 2011 and at the Avisalon in Le Bourget in June, a demonstration model of the modernization version of the Soviet medium-range air defense system 2K12 "Cube" equipped with Italian Aspide 2000 anti-aircraft missiles was shown

In 2006-2008, under the contract of the Czech Ministry of Defense, RETIA carried out a limited modernization of the Kub air defense system of the 25th anti-aircraft missile brigade of the Czech Army under the SURN CZ program, and then integrated these complexes into the RACCOS automated control system of the Czech armed forces.

The future of the project is now very uncertain, since in June the Czech military announced plans for further reductions in military spending, including including removal from service of all air defense systems "Cube" of the Czech army by 2016.

At the time of the collapse of Czechoslovakia in 1993, its army had seven regimental sets of 2K12 "Cub" air defense systems.
To date, in the Czech army, these systems are in service with the 251st anti-aircraft missile battalion (four-battery composition) of the 25th anti-aircraft missile brigade in Strakonice.

I would "solve this problem", but my profession is not the same. Do you really think that it is so difficult to neutralize the air defense system, which was developed almost half a century ago? Given his performance characteristics. He does not know how to "work" on cruise missiles, the maximum speed of the targeted target is up to Mach 2. The first thing that comes to mind is to shoot from the X-31, it is just for this purpose. No, well, of course, you can shoot with Caliber from the Caspian, you can come up with a lot of things ...

Greetings! What's the point? I do not think that the United States and Europe have significant stocks of missiles and parts for this complex. In addition, the resource of most of the "Kvadrat" air defense missile systems whose production ended in 1983 was practically exhausted. And the warranty storage periods for missiles are long overdue. Those. its technical reliability will not be very high, and its noise immunity characteristics do not correspond to modern standards.

Well, until the first launch, however, if this launch is on Ruslan or the letter Tu-154, there is little pleasant, and they can knock the Airbus / Boeing off the track.

In fact, the Soviet air defense systems have a high modernization component, it poses a very big threat in the hands of several specialists, literally 2 or 3 people, if it is ours, and the old, Soviet army. It is hoped that the Mujahideen do not have such specialists.
PS Even a single rocket, operational of course, in good hands is very dangerous, I will not open it further, the specialist will understand.

[igorka357]

Uh ... well, I'm not special of course, but the air defense is old, do not deign in a personal chat about a working rocket, and the degree of its danger ! Yes, although not, do not strain, I just haven’t heard such nonsense, and what can I do with a separate rocket, put it in a pipe, stick a wick and set fire, for a maximum skillful hands of a specialist, will shake the color-met out of it, well, charge, depending on what striking part!

Heh heh heh ... in Libya, local Islamists were able to remake missiles in ersatz-br.

So the group "Dawn of Libya" demonstrated anti-aircraft missiles, prepared for use on ground targets.
The “modernization” of the C-125 missiles has come down to the fact that the front stabilizers have been removed from them and the self-destruction mechanism and radio detectors are turned off. At the head of the missile, a pin fuse is installed, which produces an 60 kg detonation of a standard fragmentation warhead equipped with a mixture of TNT and hexagons.
The 3М9 mobile Kvadrat air defense missile system was subjected to a similar modification, in this case the Italian Pu-tank BTR with a standard PU from an anti-aircraft missile system acts as a “self-propelled gun”.

Damn, you quote me that ...
Ballistic anti-aircraft missiles

Most likely, the British somewhere got the old Soviet weapons and sold them to the bandits!

[Barakuda]

So what will they do with it? This is not a mobile phone, there are all sorts of buttons and toggle switches, and the brain is needed - a trained calculation, the Koran will not help there. And then, he hardly got the whole. And repair with what? A pile of scrap metal with waveguides silver inside and lamps with a magnetron, and a stable local oscillator.
Even if in working order, as soon as the "high" is turned on, a racket will fly into the emitter, if not from the Russian Aerospace Forces, then from the "partners".

If ISIS is suddenly foolishly knocked down with a trophy "Square" American "F", I will be glad.

[gregor6549]

Who cares who presented the ISIS, sold it or the militants captured it somewhere. The main thing is that the sky over Syria is less and less resembling cloudless and those who fly in this sky need to be prepared for everything. Moreover, the SAM can shoot before it is spotted and covered.

[BOB044]

Russia is full of friends from the former social camp. You can see from them that someone was bustling around. All these friends would be for one place and to the museum. I hope that they will detect it and cover our missiles along with those who are there.

[Bosk]

I still do not understand the complex or the launcher?

[donavi49]

The whole complex. He stood at the Missile Base, which Black had captured that week. In the photo are 2 launchers, 3-4 missiles, the radar itself.

[Vadim237]

These complexes are probably not in working condition.

[donavi49]

The question to which Allah himself does not know the answer.

An external power cable is routed to the radar. So something definitely works there, not firewood. There is rather a question for missiles, they are definitely a delay, but who knows, it will fly, explode at the start, or work out the whole program?

1. In Deir ez-Zor there was and is no "Rocket base"
SAM also were not deployed.
Only the 8th Squadron with the MiG-21 and the 104th Brigade of the Republican Guard (these SAMs are not in its arsenal
2. "Rocket bases" are for ScudOV, ScarabOV, FROGov - they were not deployed there (as in the article)
3.The International Institute For Strategic Studies IISS The Military Balance 2012. - Nuffield Press, 2012. - S. 349 p. speaks only about 9K37M1-2 Buk-M1-2, 9K317E Buk-M2E 9 Battery
4.Your photo and "information" from here

(I will even die Psaki more than "Tim" ...)

[triglav]

To begin with, it would be nice to clarify information about the capture of "Square".

[mr.grin19z]

find out whether it is known or not in the near future

[Appraiser]

Of course, such a fact in itself deserves attention. Capturing the Cube (Square) is easy, but who will shoot? This is not from a slingshot or from a machine gun for air targets. To manage such a guidance system, it is necessary to be a professional with high combat training.

[donavi49]

They captured a missile base, released an 21 + level video that week. There were prisoners there. And not the fact that these prisoners are not from the personnel of this complex.

This is the first option.

The second option is to write to the sponsors.

The third option, as with the Wasp captured earlier, when they wrote out the "textbooks" - the first missile was disrupted after the training, but the rest went to the target 2 or 3 aircraft were shot down from that complex of 5 missiles (they took 1 into the ground out of ignorance).

[Strashila]

Let this informational stuffing ...
But these complexes were already in service with the NATO countries of the GDR and Poland.
They were also in service with Kuwait ...
So you can wait for nasty things.

[ANANATOLY PAULOV]

Gentlemen. I understand your concern about the "Square", but it is groundless. In any case, regarding the possibility of its use against our aviation. The comments have already flashed references to the "friend or foe" system and the notorious "Belenko button". All exported air defense systems, both Soviet and Russian, have this system. And not just a system, but a so-called two-marker. Defining both the aircraft of the operator and our aircraft. Moreover, the identifier of our aircraft is embedded in the control unit and it is impossible to turn it off without completely replacing the control unit. So if this air defense system is operational and there are competent guys for its use, then it is only dangerous for the aircraft of the anti-ISIS coalition. That is also good. They will knock down the "Merikan", and they will blame us. Do you remember the Malaysian Boeing? And at the expense of the "belenko button" - it's a legend. Not a single one will put such a button, you know.
