PECHORA-2A UPGRADED SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILE SYSTEM

PECHORA-2A is a derivative of the S-125M1 PECHORA Surface-to-Air Missile System that proved highly efficient during conflicts in the Middle East, South-East Asia and Africa.

COMBAT ADVANTAGES

The 1998-2002 trials showed the following increase in the system’s combat capabilities: • larger engagment envelope; • greater efficiency in engaging modern targets; • enhanced ECCM capabilities; • automatic tracking in optical/TV channel.

OPERATIONAL ADVANTAGES

50% replacement of analog units of the SAM system by digital equipment based on modern element basis ensures: • longer service life; • better tactical and operating characteristics; • reduced volume and time required for maintenance; • power saving.

Newly incorporated equipment may be used for the VOLGA SAM system modernisation.
