The 50R6 Vityaz (Russian: ЗРК Витязь) or S-350E is a Russian medium-range surface-to-air missile system developed by GSKB Almaz-Antey. Its purpose is to replace the S-300PS and S-300PT-1A. The system design traces its roots from the joint South Korean/Russian KM-SAM project and uses the same 9M96 missile as the S-400 missile system
Design and development
The 50R6A Vityaz missile system consists of:
1-2 50N6A multifunctional passively electronically scanned array radar stations. 360° coverage for early detection, target illumination and missile guidance.
1 50K6A command post, fully autonomous combat work with interaction with other remote systems.
1-8 50P6 launcher (12-96 missiles).
9M96/9M96E(E2) guided missiles; passive guidance and other missiles with active homing guidance. 12–120 km (7.5–74.6 mi) range, aerodynamic control surfaces and jet engines of control surfaces.
9M100 guided missiles; 10–15 km (6.2–9.3 mi) range; infrared passive homing; aerodynamic control surfaces and jet engines of control; maximum maneuver 60 G-20 surfaces.
Basic performance characteristics of the S-350:
Maximum number of simultaneously engaged targets:
Aerodynamic - 16
Ballistic - 12
Maximum number of simultaneously induced missiles - 32
Affected area of aerodynamic purposes:
Range - 1.5–120 km (0.93–74.56 mi)
Height - 10 m-30 km (98,000 ft)
Affected area of ballistic targets:
Range - 1.5–30 km (0.93–18.64 mi)
Height - 2–25 km (6,600–82,000 ft)
Deployment time - 5 minutes
All vehicles are based on a Bryansky Avtomobilny Zavod chassis. The naval version with 9M96E guided missile which passed state tests in 2018 is the Poliment-Redut.
