Subtopics

• 2K11 Krug [r]: Add brief definition or description SA-4 GANEF
• 2K12 KUB [r]: Also known by the NATO designation SA-6 GAINFUL, this is a highly mobile surface-to-air missile system with both radar and passive television, the latter allowing it to engage targets without telltale radar emissions. It entered Soviet service in 1970, but has gone constant improvement and remains operational in a number of countries, optimized for low to medium air defense. [e]
• 9K31 Strela-1 [r]: A Soviet-designed, mobile, short-range surface-to-air missile, with the NATO reporting name "SA-9 GASKIN"; no longer a first-line Russian weapon, it is deployed on the BRDM armored reconnaissance vehicle chassis. [e] SA-8 GECKO

• FIM-92 Stinger [r]: A second-generation United States Army surface-to-air missile that can be fired from a soldier's shoulder, from vehicle-mounted launchers, and, in an air-to-air missile configuration, from attack helicopters. Uses combined infrared-ultraviolet guidance to resist countermeasures. [e]

• MIM-104 Patriot [r]: Missile originally developed for medium-to-high altitude aircraft interception (SAM) use, which, while retaining that capability, is now optimized as an anti-ballistic missile (ABM) for relatively small but critical areas. The SAM versions have explosive warheads but the ABM is hit-to-kill. [e]
• RIM-2 Terrier [r]: Deployed in the 1950s, the first operational ship-borne surface-to-air missile of the U.S. Navy [e]
• RIM-8 Talos [r]: A long-range surface-to-air missile developed, for shipboard use, by the U.S. Navy in the 1950s; it saw limited combat service in the Vietnam War [e]
• RIM-24 Tartar [r]: A descendant of the U.S. Navy RIM-2 Terrier missile, with reduced size and range, but more capability within its range and usable on smaller ships [e]
• RIM-66 Standard [r]: Add brief definition or description Medium range Standard
• RIM-67 Standard [r]: Add brief definition or description Extended range Standard
• RIM-156 Standard SM-2 [r]: Intended to be launched from the vertical launch system of AEGIS battle management system equipment ships, this is principally a long-range surface-to-air missile using semi-active radar homing with no over-the-horizon capability; it can accept midcourse guidance for its secondar anti-shipping missile capability and thus engage over-the-horizon targets [e]
• S-75 Dvina [r]: S-75 Dvina surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems were the first Soviet air defense missiles in wide deployment. Their NATO reporting designation was SA-2 GUIDELINE. [e]
