Показать описание
The 4K51 Rubezh system is a late Cold War era coastal defense system of Soviet origin. It is best known by its NATO designation SS-C-3 Styx. The 4K51 is a much less complex design than the previous 4K44 Redut (SS-C-1 Sepal) and S-2 Sopka (SS-C-2 Samlet). Originally the 4K51 was aimed at the export market, but was also quickly adopted by Soviet forces as a cost-effective standalone system.
For a coastal defense system the 4K51 uses surprisingly few components. All subsystems are fitted onto one vehicle. This vehicle is based on the large MAZ-543 8x8 truck chassis. The driver's cab and engine are mounted at the front. The command module and radar are in the center of the vehicle. The large twin round launcher is fitted at the rear.
The 4K51 fires the large subsonic P-15 Termit missile, known in the West as the SS-N-2 Styx. The P-15M versions with mid course updates, the P-20 version with active radar guidance and P-21 version with infra-red guidance can be launched. The large twin round launcher is rotated either to the left or right, in the direction of the target. Normally each launch unit is accompanied by two 6x6 trucks outfitted with a crane and a spare missile. The P-15M has a maximum effective range of 80 km. The practical range depends on radar horizon and availability of external target data.
