Russia's Ministry of Defense has published a clip showing the Osa self-propelled anti-aircraft missile systems in action thwarting Ukrainian air attacks.
The Osa (Wasp) SAM system has impressive equipment on board, including a target detection station (TDS) which provides detection of a fighter-type target at a distance of up to 40 km and 27 km at a flight altitude of 5000 and 50 meters, respectively.
Moreover, the system is equipped with a target tracking station (TTS), which allows to capture and track targets at a range of 23 and 14 km at a flight altitude of 5000 and 50 meters, respectively. In addition, a counter-resolving device (CRD) is on board to generate data for the timely launch of missiles.
