S-200 Dubna (SA-5)
Originators Designation: S-200
NATO Reporting Name: SA-5 Gammon
Description: Long range, high altitude surface-to-air missile (SAM) system developed by the Soviet Union in the 1960s to defend large areas from high-altitude bombers or other targets. In Soviet service, these systems were deployed primarily on the battalion level, with six launchers and a fire control radar.
The SA-5 GAMMON surface-to-air missile is a strategic SAM designed to engage targets at medium to high altitudes. It is a long range SAM that can engage targets at 50 miles away. To achieve this range, the missile has four jettisonable, wrap around solid propellant boosters. The missile is guided by the Command radar and also has an active seeker head on the missile itself. This is activated as the missile closes on the target. The missile uses the tracking data supplied by the Command radar and its own seeker head to complete the intercept. The warhead is 215 kg (474 lb) of high explosive triggered by proximity or command signal. Each Battalion has 6 single-rail missile launchers, a Barlock-B search radar and 9 support vehicles. Destroying the Barlock-B will disable the entire system but any missiles in the air when the FCR is destroyed may still track due to their ARH capability. The limited manoeuvrability and high minimum engagement height mean the SA5 presents no significant threat to the modern fighter but it is often used to drive aircraft low enough to be engaged by MANPADS and AAA. For heavier aircraft like tankers the SA-5 is a real threat.
The S-200 be linked to other, longer-range radar systems.
Specifications:
Defensive Maneuvers: Priority target for SEAD & Strike aircraft. Detectible via RWR, triggers RWR launch warning. Suppress with ECM. Engage with anti-radiation missiles and cruise missiles
Terminal ARH vulnerable to jamming and chaff. Ineffective against fighters. Minimal threat vs SEAD strikes even after being fired upon. Site consists of 6 launchers and 1 Barlock-B target acquisition radar. Best SEAD tactic is jammer on, Angles 25+ and launch HARM from 20-25nm. The large smoke trail makes the missile very easy to acquire.
HARM+Cluster Bombs~Use ECM. Break Turn (5-6g)+Chaff/Beam/Jamming/Destroy radar
