Specialists of the 2566th Plant for the Repair of Radio-Electronic Armaments are completing experimental design work on the development of the 9V914-1B adjustment machine on the MAZ-6317 chassis for the Osa anti-aircraft missile system (SAM). This was reported by the press service of the State Military-Industrial Committee of Belarus.
The adjustment machine is designed for precise tuning of optical, radar, and mechanical systems in combat vehicles from the Osa SAM system. It ensures the combat readiness of air defense (AD) assets.
Advantages of 9V914-1B:
- Modern component base is used
- Versatility — the complex can be installed on any basic chassis, including trailers
Belarusian engineers continue to actively improve the Osa. Previously, they had already modernized the combat and transporter-loader vehicles included in the anti-aircraft missile system.
Osa SAM system
The Soviet automated anti-aircraft missile system was developed at the Scientific Research Electromechanical Institute (NIEMI). A total of more than 1200 units were produced.
The Osa has been in operation since 1971. The SAM system is designed to protect troops on the march and in combat from aircraft, helicopters, and cruise missiles.
