Buk-M3 9K317M medium-range air defense missile system
Tass reported Thursday.
"The fifth-generation medium-range air defense missile system will have a deep integration with the single layered air defense system and support of the network-centric control system," the official added.
Besides, the system’s target acquisition and destruction area will be expanded. It will also feature increased jamming resistance and support of the network-centric control system, also through the application of automation and robotics.
"The new missile has a significantly lower weight. This has increased the missile system vehicle’s on-board ammunition capacity 1.5 times. The new system’s missiles are carried in containers and launched from them", Almaz-Antey said.
The Russian company this summer has tested the fourth-generation Buk-M3 missile system.
