S-75 Dvina – Billeder & Video

Den S-75 Dvina (Russisk: С-75; NATO's rapporteringsnavn SA-2 Guideline) er et sovjetisk designet luftforsvarssystem i stor højde, bygget op omkring et jord-til-luft-missil med kommandovejledning. Siden sin første indsættelse i 1957 er det blevet det mest udbredte luftforsvarssystem i historien. Det scorede den første ødelæggelse af et fjendtligt fly af et jord-til-luft missil, der skød ned en taiwansk Martin RB-57D Canberra over Kina den 7. oktober 1959 og ramte den med tre V-750 (1D) missiler i en højde af 20 km (65.600 ft). Denne succes blev tilskrevet kinesiske kampfly på det tidspunkt for at holde S-75-programmet hemmeligt

Den S-75 Dvina is a Soviet-designed, high-altitude air defence system, built around a surface-to-air missile with command guidance. It was first deployed in 1957 and became one of the most widely used air defence systems in history. The S-75 Dvina has a range of 40 km and a speed of Mach 3.5. It can intercept targets at altitudes up to 25,000 m. The missile has a warhead of 195 kg of fragmentation-high explosive and is guided by a radar system.
The S-75 Dvina has achieved several notable victories against enemy aircraft, such as the U-2 spy planes over the Soviet Union and Cuba, and various fighters and bombers over Vietnam. The S-75 Dvina was also exported to many countries and produced under license in China as the HQ-1 and HQ-2.
