Kalashnikov Concern has shipped a large batch of 9M333 anti-aircraft guided missiles, intended for Strela-10 systems, to the customer. The delivery was made under a state contract and strengthens the serial provision of troops with high-precision short-range weapons.
According to the manufacturer, this is another industrial delivery of serial products, the production of which has been ongoing since 2020. During this time, the 9M333 missile has established itself in the lineup as a modernized solution for mobile anti-aircraft systems of the Strela-10 family, designed to engage aerial targets in complex jamming environments.
The key feature of the product is a universal seeker head capable of operating in several modes at once: photocontrast, infrared, and jamming. This architecture increases resistance to electronic and optical countermeasures, including modern unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles.
The missile implements the "fire-and-forget" principle, which reduces the load on the crew and allows firing at rapidly maneuvering targets without the need for further tracking.
The concern emphasizes that the product has confirmed its stated characteristics during operation, including conditions of intensive combat use.
