The 50R6 Vityaz (Russian: ЗРК Витязь) or S-350E[2][3] is a Russian medium-range surface-to-air missile system developed by GSKB Almaz-Antey. Its purpose is to replace the S-300PS and S-300PT-1A. 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, which is different from Korean variant.

Design and development

The 50R6A Vityaz missile system consists of:

  • 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]
  • 1–8 50P6 launchers (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 jet engines of control surfaces.
    • 9M100 guided missiles; 10–15 km (6.2–9.3 mi) range; infrared passive homing; aerodynamic control surfaces and jet engines of control; 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 of aerodynamic purposes:
    • 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]
