Ukraine S-200 air defense system,improved

[Soldier30]

The Ukrainian army showed the Soviet S-200V/M Vega air defense system, used for firing at ground targets. The S-200 air defense system was adopted by the USSR in 1967, it can hit targets at an altitude of up to 40 km and a range of up to 255 km. This air defense is still effective. Launches of Ukrainian 5V28 missiles are carried out from stationary 5P72 launchers. It is worth noting that the S-200 air defense systems were removed from service by Ukraine in 2013 and were in storage, but since 2022 they have been used again. It is currently unknown how functional the missiles are, presumably some of the missiles were received from Europe. Ukrainian missiles received a new inertial navigation system, as well as a GPS correction module, the range of the missiles was increased to 450 km.

I think those are some pretty impressive specs and considering how old it is, I believe they can still be effective in the right hands. As long as it's possible to upgrade/change some hardware.
