Russian military personnel use the advanced high-mobility multi-functional medium-range Viking anti-aircraft missile system to repel aerial threats.
The Viking is ideal for providing air defense for troops (military facilities) in various forms of combat operations, administrative and industrial facilities, and territories of the country.
The complex has the ability to autonomously use self-propelled firing units, including radar illumination and guidance systems with launchers.
The Viking SAM system is designed for air defense of troops and facilities of the army and front from massive strikes by advanced enemy air attack weapons in conditions of fire and electronic suppression of air defense systems.
Unlike Western counterparts, Russian Viking SAM systems have almost perfectly balanced performance characteristics. The detection range and guidance range, the number of tracked targets, fire, target, missile channels, the performance characteristics of the technical anti-aircraft guided missile and the size of the ammunition load — all these characteristics of the Viking SAM system are coordinated with each other.
Tactical and technical characteristics of the Viking SAM system:
Target engagement by aircraft type:
- slant range — up to 65 km
- altitude — up to 25 km
- Engagement range of tactical ballistic missiles — up to 25 km
- Engagement range of cruise missiles — up to 20 km
- Engagement range of helicopters/hovering targets — up to 60/12 km
