The High-Precision Complexes holding, which is part of Rostec, announced the completion of the development of the Ptitselov anti-aircraft missile system on the chassis of the BMD-4M airborne combat vehicle.
Rostec noted that the Ptitselov is an analogue of the Sosna complex, based on the BMP-3 (at the moment, the Sosna is undergoing testing). "A similar machine was developed in the interests of the Airborne Forces based on the BMD-4M," the state corporation said. At the same time, the complex based on the BMD-4M has one important advantage: the Ptitselov can be parachuted from military transport aircraft.
The Sosna consists of two launchers for 12 Sosna-R missiles, capable of hitting air targets at a range of up to ten kilometers and an altitude of up to five kilometers.
