    Russian long-range medium-altitude surface-to-air missile launcher with two missiles on the chassis. The missiles have a range of more than 30 miles and the ability to reach an altitude of about 80,000 feet.

    Four solid booster rockets that burn for about 15 seconds accelerate the missile to Mach 1. The booster stage falls away and the kerosene fueled ramjet takes over accelerating up to Mach 4. The 135 kg (300lb) fragmentation warhead is detonated with a proximity fuse.
