S-200 "Angar", «Vega», "Dubna"

Anti-aircraft missile system long-range S-200 is designed to deal with current and future air targets: AWACS aircraft and management, aerial reconnaissance elements strike complexes, High-altitude reconnaissance aircraft speed type SR-71, jammers and other manned and unmanned air attack under intense jamming. System weatherproof and can be used under various climatic conditions.

Development of the complex started in the 50s in the CB-1 (now the "Diamond"). A general designer. Raspletin. Surface-to-air missile was developed in the CB "Torch", Chief Designer II. Grushin. First Division C-200A ("Angara") been deployed 1963 by 1964 gg. on the outskirts of Tallinn. There were deployed 1950 launchers. However, the beginning of broad deployment of S-300 resulted in a reduction in the number of battalions of S-200 500 launchers 19% g. During the existence of S-200 repeatedly modernized: at 1970 g. entered service C-200B («Vega») and 1975 g. – C-200D ("Dubna"). During upgrades were significantly increased firing range and height of defeats the purpose (from 20 to 41 km).
The Russian S-200 was part of the anti-aircraft missile brigades or regiments of mixed composition, including, Besides, S-125 divisions and the means direct cover ZU-23 or C-60. The basic elements of an anti-aircraft missile system S-200 SAM are divisions and surface-to-air missile. Each division comprises a radar target illumination and the starting battery.

The anti-aircraft missile system S-200 two-stage. The first stage consists of four solid-fuel boosters. Marching stage is equipped with a two-component liquid rocket engine. Warhead high-explosive. The missile has a head for semi-active homing. Radar target illumination is a high-potential continuous wave radar station. It provides support for the goals and generates information for missile launch. Besides, highlights goals in the process of homing missiles.
Starting battery has six launchers, which are arranged in a circle around the ROC. They carried out storage, prelaunch and launch anti-aircraft missiles. The structure of S-200 are: item management and targeting of K-9M, podsveta radar Celite ROC 5N62V (By the antenna post-IB, hardware stall K-2B), starting battery 5ZH51 (Cabin preparation start K-SG. launchers 5P72V, charging machines 5YU24M, surface-to-air missile and 5V21V 5V28), power supply - diesel- power. For purposes of early detection of air ZRDN attached radar aerial type P-35 and other intelligence.

AT 1983 g. the system began to be deployed in the territory of the Warsaw Pact: in East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, that was a consequence of which began in 1982 g. postavok NATO samoletov DRLO E-ON Avax. After the defeat of the Syrian air defenses in the Bekaa Valley (Libya) Syria had delivered 4 S-200, have been deployed in 40 kilometers east of Damascus, and the north-east of the country. Initially the complex is served by Soviet calculations, and 1985 g. they were handed over to the Syrian Air Defense Command. According to some reports, Syrian C-200 aircraft downed Israeli E-2C "Hawkeye".
In Libya, the first S-200 were delivered in 1985 g. Libya formed a brigade, consisting of two divisions of C-200 and two P-125. AT 1986 g. Divisions C-200, served by Libyan settlements, participated in repelling a raid by US aircraft on Tripoli and Benghazi, during which the US lost one fighter-bomber F-111, and data on the Libyan, several aircraft carrier-based aircraft. At the end 1987 g. C-200 have been delivered to North Korea for use in air defense. Complexes were able to carry out the defeat of type E-FOR AWACS aircraft, TR-1 / U-2, RC-135 to the northern border of South Korea. The complex is delivered to Bulgaria, Hungary, India, Iran, North Korea, Libya, Poland, Syria, Czech Republic.
