Stings to Death All Who Fly: Osa SAM System Proposed to be Transferred to New MAZ-6317 Chassis

This is necessary to improve the operational parameters of the vehicle

The Soviet automated military anti-aircraft missile system has been proposed to be transferred to a new chassis from MAZ-6317. This idea was put forward by designers from the "2566 Radio-Electronic Armament Repair Plant" in Belarus.

Currently, the system is installed on a three-axle "floating" BAZ-5937 chassis. For movement on water, the chassis is equipped with a water jet. The engine is diesel. In addition, the chassis is equipped with navigation and topological referencing tools. The chassis can be transported by Il-76 aircraft and railway transport.

According to the specialists' idea, the transfer of equipment to a new component base is necessary to improve operational parameters, improve combat capabilities, and extend service life.

Tactical and technical characteristics of the Osa SAM system:

  • Crew — 4 people
  • Mass of combat vehicle — 17.5 tons
  • Speed of targets hit — up to 500 m/s
  • Number of missiles on BM — 6 pcs
  • Mass of missile warhead — 15 kg
  • Deployment time — 3 min
  • Fuel range — 500 km

Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Russian Armed Forces began to use a new type of missile to defeat the enemy. They fly much further and are twice as accurate thanks to the built-in motor.
