MST Missile Site Type

Definition

A Russian low and medium-altitude, short-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) system designed for engaging aircraft, helicopters, cruise-missiles, precision munitions and remotely-piloted vehicles.

Description

It is designed to protect targets from attack at all times and in any weather not only by shooting down attacking aircraft but also destroying any munitions before they reach the target. It is air-portable and equipped with NBC (nuclear, biological and chemical) protection. Each 9K331 vehicle is a completely autonomous TELAR although it can be linked into a greater air-defence system. The radar is a modern, phased-array type and eight missiles are stored vertically, ready to fire. The 9M330 missile is 3.5 metres long with a peak speed speed of around Mach 2.8. Guidance is via radio command and detonation via a radar proximity fuze.
