The SA-6 Gainful, also known as 2K12 Kub, is a mobile surface-to-air missile system that was developed by the Soviet Union in the late 1950s and entered service in 1967. It is designed to protect ground forces from low to medium-level air attacks by aircraft, helicopters, and cruise missiles. The system consists of a radar vehicle, four transporter-erector-launchers (TELs) with three missiles each, and four reload trucks with cranes. The missiles have a range of 24 km and a maximum altitude of 22 km. They use command guidance with terminal semi-active radar homing (SARH) to intercept their targets. The SA-6 Gainful has been used in several conflicts, such as the Yom Kippur War, the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War, and the Syrian Civil War. It is still in service with many countries around the world.
