Rare S-350 Vityaz spotted in combat zone.
The rare system, which was introduced into service in 2020, appears to have been modified with improvised armor plating over its launcher and command cabin.
The S-350, developed by the Russian defense firm Almaz-Antey, was designed as a replacement for aging S-300PS and Buk-M1-2 systems. Capable of engaging aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, drones, and tactical ballistic missiles, it is considered one of Russia’s most advanced air defense assets. However, its deployment to the front lines suggests a growing strain on Russia’s more established air defense units.
