During the tests, they were fired on air targets with new 5V27D-M2 missiles, on which a semi-active radar homing head is installed, which provides detection and capture of an air target of a fighter type at a range of at least 20 kilometers. As the press service of Ukroboronprom informs, a complex modernization of all elements of the S-125 air defense complex was completed, including the modernization of missiles, and a new radar station built on solid-state elements.

At the initial stage, the rocket moves along an aeroballic trajectory, which significantly increases the far boundary of the zone of the C-125M.

The far limit of the zone of damage with the new missiles is more than 40 kilometers, the maximum height of the zone of destruction is 25 kilometers.

This allows to ensure reliable protection of ground facilities and infrastructure from air attack, the ministry explained..

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, in 2017, "Ukroboronprom" handed to the armed sieves of Ukraine 3,673 thousand units of military equipment and weapons.
