The S-350 Vityaz (Russian: C-350 Витязь) is a Russian medium-range surface-to-air missile system developed by GSKB Almaz-Antey. Its purpose is to replace the S-300PS.[2] The system design traces its roots from the joint South Korean/Russian KM-SAM project and uses the same 9M96 missile as the S-400 missile system.

Development

The first studies that would eventually become the S-350 started in 1999. Development began in earnest only in 2007. Almaz-Antey was able to leverage the experience gained while working on the joint development of the KM-SAM with South Korea. Around 2011, development slowed down, probably due to failed missile tests. The S-350 was unveiled in 2013, and presented at that year's MAKS airshow. Initial plans called for the system's test phase to end in the autumn of 2013, and for the delivery of around 30 systems by 2020. However, the first deliveries of the S-350 only took place in 2019,[2] and it only entered service in February 2020.[3]

Design

The S-350 Vityaz air defense system consists of several vehicles:

• 1–2 50N6A multifunctional passively electronically scanned array radar stations.[4] 360° coverage for early detection, target illumination and missile guidance.[5]
• 1 50K6A command post, fully autonomous combat work with interaction with other remote systems.[6]
• 4–8 50P6 launchers[2] (12–96 missiles).
  • 9M96/9M96E(E2) guided missiles; passive guidance and other missiles with active homing guidance.[6] 12–120 km (7.5–74.6 mi) range, aerodynamic control surfaces and thrust vectoring.
  • 9M100 guided missiles; 10–15 km (6.2–9.3 mi) range; infrared passive homing; aerodynamic control surfaces and thrust vectoring; maximum maneuver 60 G-20 surfaces. 9M100 can be quad packed in the naval version Resurs[7] The Naval version of S-350 was renamed from Poliment-Redut to Resurs[8]

Basic performance characteristics of the S-350:[9][10]

• Maximum number of simultaneously engaged targets:
  • Aerodynamic – 16
  • Ballistic – 12
• Maximum number of simultaneously induced missiles – 32
• Affected area for aerodynamic targets:
  • Range – 1.5–120 km (0.93–74.56 mi)
  • Height – 10 m-30 km (98,000 ft)
• Affected area of ballistic targets:
  • Range – 1.5–30 km (0.93–18.64 mi)
  • Height – 2–25 km (6,600–82,000 ft)
• Deployment time – 5 minutes

All vehicles are based on a Bryansky Avtomobilny Zavod chassis (BAZ-6909 & BAZ-69092). The naval version with 9M96E guided missile which passed state tests in 2018 is the Redut.[11][12]

The export variant of the Redut was named Resurs (Resource).

Deployment

In September 2017, it was reported that the missile system was deployed in the town of Masyaf in Hama province, Syria, delivered from Russia via the Tartus port.[14]

The first launches, made on March 26, 2019, were positive and the air defense missile system successfully passed state tests.[15]

In late December 2019, at Kapustin Yar, the S-350E was officially handed over to the Russian Ministry of Defence. The handover involved tracking of aerodynamic targets.[16]

In February 2020, the S-350 Vityaz was officially commissioned into the service of the old Russian Aerospace Defence Forces now merged in to the new Russian Aerospace Forces as the new missile system had been delivered to Zhukov Air and Space Defense Academy to train crews for the equipment.[17]

The Almaz-Antey Group and the Defense Ministry of Russia signed contracts for the delivery of four sets of S-350 ‘Vityaz’ and three regiments of S-400 ‘Triumf’ in June 2020.[18] Deliveries started in 2021.[19][20]

L'S-350E Vityaz (in cirillico C-350 Витязь, nome in codice NATO SA-?) anche definito 50R6A Vityaz o, più comunemente, S-350, è un sistema missilistico antiaereo a medio raggio di nuova generazione progettato per neutralizzare velivoli, missili da crociera e missili balistici[3] a distanze comprese fra i 120 ed i 5 km, offrendo una copertura dello spazio aereo a 360 gradi.[4] Sviluppato dalla Almaz-Antey[5], già progettista dei sistemi antiaerei S-300 ed S-400, tra le fila della VKS l'S-350 è chiamato a sostituire le versioni più antiquate dell'S-300 e del Buk ancora in servizio[6] (S-300PS; Buk-M1) e contribuirà a formare una difesa aerea multi-strato lavorando in simbiosi con S-400 ed S-500.
