SA-10 Grumble / S-300 Long-Range Anti-Aircraft Mobile Defense System
The S-300 (NATO designation and codename of SA-10 "Grumble) is a long-range surface-to-air missile system developed in the latter decades of the Cold War (1947-1991) years. The system was designed specifically to content with the rise in use of cruise missile weapons originating from the West which would have been used in the opening rounds of a full-scale war with the Soviet Union. The S-300 missile was developed by MKB from the period beginning in 1967 and entered Soviet military service in 1978. Consistent modernization programs have kept the S-300 series a viable battlefield instrument which, coupled to its powerful radar system, has let it remain a potent anti-aircraft defender despite its Cold War root. An export-minded version has also ensured its place among many global operators (mostly those with Soviet Cold war-era roots). The S-300 is comparable in its battlefield qualities and scope to the American MIM-104 "Patriot" battery and is now competing with designs such as the Chinese HQ-9 system recently adopted by Turkey over the Russian product.
