Description

The Buk-M1 is a road mobile, medium range Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) system designed to engage aircraft, helicopters and cruise missiles in intense clutter and jamming environment. High Speed Anti-Radiation missiles and theater ballistic missiles can also be engaged by Buk-M1 air defense system. The Buk-M1 consists of a 54K6E command post vehicle, a target acquisition radar mounted on a tracked vehicle, and up to 6 loader-launcher vehicles designated the 9A39M1 carrying 4 9M38 missiles. The entire system can be ready to fire in just 5 minutes. It can engage up to 6 targets simultaneously. The Buk-M1 road mobile air defense system entered service in 1979 replacing the SA-6 Gainful. It overcomes some of the most important shortfalls detected on the Gainful SAM system. The upgraded Buk-M1-2 was introduced in 1998.
