We continue to introduce you to Russian naval air defense systems. The video shows the Russian naval air defense system "Osa-M", accepted into service in 1973, upgraded to the Osa-MA version in 1975 and upgraded again in the first half of the 1980s to the Osa-MA-2 version. The Osa-M air defense system is used on ships with a displacement of 500 tons or more. The Osa-M air defense system has two guides for 9M33 missiles weighing 128 kg, later upgraded to the 9M33M3 version. Under the deck of the ship, in a special "cellar", there are 4 drums with ammunition for five missiles each. After the launch of a 9M33 missile, it was captured by a missile sighting station, which brought it to the target. When the missile approaches the target, a command is given to arm the radio fuse, radio magnetic pulses are emitted and at a distance of up to 15 meters from the target, the warhead of the missile detonates. The probability of hitting targets for the latest versions of the SAM is 70-80%, the probability of hitting modern targets is lower. The reload time of the SAM is from 16 to 21 seconds, the rate of fire is 2 rounds per minute for air targets and 2.8 for surface targets. The Osa-MA-2 SAM can hit targets at a range of up to 15 km and an altitude of up to 4 km, the minimum altitude of hitting targets is 5 meters.
