Buk-M3

Model: Buk-M3

The Buk-M3 is a medium-range air defense system capable of intercepting both aerial targets and short-range ballistic missiles. With advanced radar and missile accuracy, it can simultaneously engage multiple targets. (Бук-М3 - система ПВО средней дальности, способная перехватывать как воздушные цели, так и баллистические ракеты малой дальности. Благодаря усовершенствованной радиолокации и точности ракет, она может одновременно атаковать несколько целей).
