S-350 Vityaz, planned successor of the S-300PS.

Amazing info as always :o

If you still need info on the early Mim-104, I can ask around the defence department and see what i can do

TM 9-1430-600-20-2 Engagement Control Station second volume is available on Google Books.

The first volume would be a great help.

5th S-400 regiment is fielded around Moscow...

S-300 history-III

After a ten years break, Chinese funding made the reopen of S-300 production line possible.
In 2004 China ordered 16 batteries of S-300PMU2 Favorit (SA-20B) in two batches, for a total of $1,980 million.
Algeria paid $500 million for four systems, probably these were originally produced for Iran, but delivery was banned due to sanctions.
The modernized plant delivered the first batch of 20 export versions between 2007 and 2009.

The 6 channel system had an effective range of 200km using the 48N6E2 missiles.

In 2011, 2 systems were delivered to Azerbaijan for $300 million. They are based East and North of Baku.
From 2016, the previously suspended Iranian delivery is also started, worth of $800 million.




From 2015, upgrades of the Russian S-300PM to S-300PM2 Favorit-S (SA-20B) system using the 200km ranged 48N6D missile is also started.

Beside producing the export Favorits, the first two pieces of S-400 Triumph (SA-21) were delivered in 2007, and 2009 to the Russian PVO.
The 12 channel system had an effective range of 250km using the 48N6DM missiles.
After the export Favorit delivery completed, production of the Triumph was accelerated.
According to the plans, till 2020 56 systems will be delivered, replacing all S-300PT versions.



As of 2016, 26 S-400 are fielded.

Expected in 2017, the 40N6 missiles becomes available, with 380km range, and 4 more systems are fielded, 2 for Moscow (one already arrived), and 2 for the Northern Fleet (most probably at Severodinsk).

Export is expected to start after 2020, China is negotiating 6 systems for $3,000 million.
India also interested to buy 5 systems for $2,500 million.

Next episode will describe current PVO situation, and plans for replacing the elderly S-300PS systems.

Great concentrated information Hpasp.

Where in this history would Armenian and Azerbaijani S-300s appear? As far as I know Armenia had a older, apparently S-300PS system and recently got a S-300PMU1 or -2. This was apparently to get on pair with Azerbaijan who got at least one brand new S-300PMU2. Little note, given the good relations between Azerbaijan and Israel its possible that they had the chance to take a look at or even train again the S-300PMU2 and pass the info to the US and hence NATO. However I have doubts whether Russian intel and influence on Azerbaijan would allow this to happen.

A few more details: Apparently East German air defense troops were not aware of a operational S-300 there as far as I know. Either its was still packed before being send back to the Soviet Union or some secretive unit operated it in its short presence there.

Iranian S-300PMU2's use the command post shown in your S-400 illustration. Given that Russians said that original 2007 were reconfigured and sold to other costumers and the 2016 batch is said to be newly produced, could the Iranian PMU2 configuration be different to the standard S-300PMU2?

I knew it otherwise.
They had the standard curricula, than live shooting at Ashuluk.
The systems arrived and were temporary based at az S-200 site, till their fixed firing position was built. (visible on Google Earth)

They had 3 wartime firing position selected at the northern seashore.

Could you post a picture of it?

So East German S-300 went operational with East German troops for a sort period of time (months) according to your sources.

Here is the Iranian S-300 command post which is not a traditional S-300PMU2 component. I wonder whether Iran requested a modified -PMU2 variant from the Russians after the possibility that Azerbaijani S-300PMU2 could be compromised to Israel.

As the 54K6 was last produced 8 years ago, I would rather assume that only the newer 55K6 were in production, so both Azerbaijan and Iran received it. Anyhow, the main detection component of the command post is the RLO, and both Azerbaijan and Iran received the 64N6E2.

But thanks for your valuable observations, I corrected the text and the drawing.

So many beautiful videos are released, that Im almost creating an S-400 simulator.

(just a joke)

Beautifully visible the 12 target channel operating buttons, left of the screen.

"S-400 AD missiles being loaded into containers. Seems there are not many pics of the procedure v @tvcrussia"

Can you tell from these pics, the azimuth beam-width of the S-400 system?
just use some math

Best information so far about the V-500 missile of the S-300PT/PS/PMU systems.

Maybe with a kill zone rings would be better?
