Almaz offers new SAM system
Miroslav Gyürösi
Russian development and design organisation TsKB (Tsentralnoye Konstruktorskoye Byuro/central design bureau) Almaz is offering a new medium- and short-range air-defence missile system, writes Miroslav Gyürösi.
Intended to defend military, industrial and similar targets against mass attack by aircraft or ballistic missiles, the new system - whose designation has not been released - is intended to replace the S-125 Neva and S-75M Volkhov missile families, acting as a less expensive complement to the S-300P and S-400. It will be able to serve as a mid-level system, filling the gap between the complicated and expensive S-300PMU-2 and S-400 medium- to long-range systems and mobile short-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems such as the 96K6 Pantzir S-1.
First publicly-released information on the new MRADS (Middle Range Air Defence Missile System) was released in 1998, when a brochure published by Almaz showed three computer-generated images representing the surveillance/guidance radar and the transporter-erector-launcher (TEL). Both units were installed on a Kamaz three-axle wheeled truck chassis.
In general configuration, the MRADS radar is similar to the Franco-Italian Arabel, and probably operates in a similar way, combining fast azimuth scanning plus electronic scanning, the beam in vertical and horizontal planes.
In the version originally proposed, the radar could track up to 40 aerial targets simultaneously, engage up to eight using a maximum of 16 missiles (two missiles per target). Targets could be engaged at ranges from 1-50km, and at altitudes from 10m up to 25km.
Each TEL would have 12 vertically-launched missiles mounted in three four-round packs, and each battery would have four TEL vehicles.

1. Each TEL can be armed with a mixture of medium- and short-ranged missiles. The latter are carried in four-round launcher/storage containers

2. The TELAR vehicle for the new medium-range system incorporates a radar, self-protection systems, and a vertical launcher with seven four-round missile packs
