Air Defense Show April 2016

Related Posts

Here are some vehicles of a different kind seen at an air defense installation in April 2016 where I also photogrpahed this Shilka system and this Buk 9A310.

Now I am going to dump in this post the rest of the pictures I took at the show.


The first one is a Tunguska.


Not only does it have missiles, it also has automatic AA guns for good measure.



Below is an OSA-AKM for use against low flying targets, especially helicopters (which are always vulnerable anyway).


White walls!

To the left of it is a Buk system.




A larger Thor (Tor) system.





An even larger S-300V3 system; this one is truly long-range, intended to shoot down bandits at distant approaches.









And finally the king of missiles is the Topol mobile ICBM.





"Topol means" a "poplar" (tree) in Russian. So there's this joke... something about planting a poplar somewhere... in the white house rose garden? Hehe. But never mind.
