 BUK System SA-11 9S470 CP
“Snow Drift”
The system is designed to provide radar data to air
defense forces command posts, army air defense units
and air defense command and control centers of mo-
torized rifle and tank divisions armed with the "Buk-
M1-2" and "Tor-M1" SAM systems.

The radar is equipped with digitial processing units for

automatic and semi-automatic coordinate determina-
tion and non-cooperative target recognition (NCTR)
capability. All of the system functions are highly
automated by use of high-speed central processor
units. The system utilizes advanced electronic counter-
counter measures (ECCM) devices and techniqies to
maintain capability in a complex ECM environment. Buk TAR 9S18M1 Kupol
The radar is installed on a tracked chassis offering RWR Symbol: SD
high off-road capability. It is equipped with independ-
ent power generation equipment, navigation systems,
radio datalink and communications systems. It is also
equipped with an extensive Built-In-Test (BIT) system,
as well as Training modes to enable realistic crew train-
ing. Automated set-up and recover equipment and
functionality is used to prepare the system to and from
combat readiness state.

 Radar Command
PPRU-1M Sborka
mobile command center
RWR Symbol: DE

Tracking range: 35 km
Detection range: 80 km

PPRU-1M command post, equipped with the X-band acquisition radar. This 2D air search radar was
developed from the "Scrum Half" guidance radar of the SA-15 "Gauntlet" SAM. It replaced the
earlier "Whiff", "Fire Can", and "Fire Wheel" radars. Much more versatile than those systems, it is
mounted atop a tracked carrier and can transition from travel to operating mode in three or four
minutes. The vehicle also contains the Sborka comms system which allows it to give guidance to dis-
persed AA guns.
