S-200 / SA-5 GammonLong-range surface-to-air missile systemBuilt: KB-1 / NPO Almaz; Fakel Design Bureau for missile development / Soviet UnionThe S-200, known to NATO as the SA-5 Gammon, is a Soviet long-range, static surface-to-air missile system built around large radar-guided interceptors. In the 2018 Syria Missile Strikes archive it represents the Syrian government's older long-range air-defense layer, which Russian accounts said was fired during the coalition strike while U.S. officials assessed the broader Syrian SAM response as ineffective.Conflict side archive

Pantsir-S1Self-propelled short-range surface-to-air missile and anti-aircraft gun systemBuilt: KBP Instrument Design Bureau / RussiaThe Pantsir-S1 is a Russian mobile point-defense system that combines command-guided surface-to-air missiles, twin 30 mm automatic cannon, radar tracking, and electro-optical fire control on a wheeled combat vehicle. It is intended to defend military units, air-defense sites, and infrastructure from aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, precision weapons, and UAVs, and has been documented in Russian, Syrian, and Libyan conflict service, including disputed Russian claims about Syrian Pantsir use during the 2018 Syria Missile Strikes.
S-125 Neva/Pechora / SA-3 GoaShort- to medium-range surface-to-air missile systemBuilt: Almaz Central Design Bureau / Soviet defense industry / Soviet UnionThe S-125 Neva/Pechora, known to NATO as SA-3 Goa, is a Soviet command-guided surface-to-air missile system built to cover lower-altitude targets than earlier S-75 batteries. In the 2018 Syria Missile Strikes archive, it represents Syrian government point air defense reported by Russian officials as taking part in the response to the coalition cruise-missile and standoff-weapon attack.
9K33 OsaShort-range self-propelled surface-to-air missile systemBuilt: Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant (IEMZ) / Soviet UnionThe 9K33 Osa, NATO reporting name SA-8 Gecko, is a Soviet short-range self-propelled surface-to-air missile system that combines search radar, tracking radar, command guidance, and ready-to-fire missiles on a single amphibious 6x6 TELAR. It appears in recent conflict records as a battlefield air-defense system in the Russia-Ukraine War and as one of the Syrian government air-defense systems Russian officials said was used during the 2018 Syria Missile Strikes.
2K12 Kub / Kvadrat / SA-6 GainfulTracked medium-range surface-to-air missile systemBuilt: NIIP, Vympel MKB, Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant and Soviet production partners / Soviet UnionThe 2K12 Kub, exported as Kvadrat and known to NATO as SA-6 Gainful, is a Soviet tracked medium-range surface-to-air missile system built around 3M9 missiles, 2P25 launch vehicles, and the 1S91 Straight Flush radar. In recent conflict archives it appears as a legacy medium-range air-defense system, including Syrian use during the 2018 missile strikes, Armenian use in Nagorno-Karabakh, and a Houthi SA-6/Kub-family engagement that downed a U.S. MQ-9 over Yemen in 2019.
Buk-M2Tracked medium-range surface-to-air missile systemBuilt: Almaz-Antey / RussiaThe Buk-M2 is a Russian tracked medium-range surface-to-air missile system in the Buk family, using the 9M317 missile and networked radars to defend maneuver forces and key areas against aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, precision weapons, and some ballistic targets. In the Russia-Ukraine War it appears on the Russian side as part of layered battlefield air defense, where Ukrainian forces have targeted its launchers and associated radar vehicles..jpg?width=480)
9K35 Strela-10Tracked short-range surface-to-air missile systemBuilt: Saratov Aggregate Plant / Kovrov Mechanical Plant / Soviet Union / RussiaThe 9K35 Strela-10, NATO reporting name SA-13 Gopher, is a Soviet tracked short-range air defense system mounted on an MT-LB chassis. Built to protect maneuver forces from low-flying aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, and UAVs, it remains relevant in Ukraine because both sides use mobile air-defense vehicles against the dense reconnaissance-drone threat.Category
