Title: Soviet SAM systems
Post by: upnorth on February 29, 2012, 03:20:33 PM
Here's a collection of pics I've taken of the various elements of the 2K12 Kub system in Czech army service. Better known as the SA-6 "Gainful" SAM and it's support system:

Here's an SA-2 "Guideline" preserved at Prague's Kbely museum:

I'm pulling this thread back up from the depths.

Partly it's because I finally got around to reuploading the pictures I originally posted that were lost when Photobucket got rid of their free service a few years back.

Another reason is to share these pictures I took of the MT-LB vehicle in its launch platform variation for the SA-13 "Gopher" SAM:

Here's a couple of shots of one preserved in a museum without the missile boxes mounted:

Soviet "Chaparral" using K-13 derivatives:

Note that technically this is a Serbian PASARS-16 system but there is still Soviet heritage there.  Also inspiration for further developments.
