This new equipment has been added in the 'Field Air Defence System' of the BDMillitary Forum. Having done so, i believe this system is very near to procurement.


Buk-M1-2 Surface-to-Air Missile System


The Buk-M1-2 air defence missile system is designed to protect task forces and installations against mass attacks of existing and prospective high-speed manoeuvring strategic and tactical aircraft, helicopters, including hovering ones, tactical ballistic and air-launched cruise missiles, under intensive electronic and fire counteraction, as well as to destroy radio-contrast surface and ground targets, in any weather conditions, by day and night.

Buk-M1-2 is a state-of-the-art mobile multichannel medium-range ADMS capable of providing highly effective anti-aircraft and anti-tactical ballistic missile defence.

System Composition:

* Combat assets.

* Support assets.

Typical combat assets include:

* 9S470M1-2 command post;

* 9S18M1-1 target acquisition radar;

* Up to six 9A310M1-2 self-propelled launch vehicles;

* Up to six 9A39M1 launcher-loader vehicles,

* Assigned to SPLVs;

* Up to 72 9M317 surface-to-air missiles, carried on SPLVs (up to four on each) and LLVs (up to eight SAMs with four of them ready-to-fire on launch rails).

The support assets include maintenance and repair assets for the ADMS main elements, including tracked vehicles.

A group of up to four ADMS is provided with the following support assets:

* Maintenance and repair facilities for the ADMS elements, and an automated integrated missile test and monitoring system;

* Missile storage and transportation means (with rigging equipment to load/unload the missiles);

* Training facilities;

* A group set of spare parts, tools and accessories for the ADMS elements.

Status

The Bangladesh Air Force is in the process of procuring Buk M1-2E air defence missile systems. Once procured, they will provide protection against enemy aircraft and missiles. Such air defence systems are likely to be deployed around key national installations including military bases, bridges, powerplants and the other government owned facilities.

Look at the last line of first picture of post#7. It's already in service, may be.

No its probably not....it is supposedly under process of procurement......

Recently we got a hydrographic ship, and it was added to the "Navy" section of the BDMillitary as well....you must have read it in this forum......and as this new system is added to the site under the "Army", i think it will soon be on our land, everything may have been finalized......


Cheers!!!

Well bro, i have not had luck on finding the price....i am trying, but you can see the operational range of these SAMs, they are 'medium-ranged'....so i think few more units can increase that capability.....

Well it looks like AL is serious, lets wait and watch what is to come next....


Cheers!!!
 
The missile that can be launched using the system are:-

  • 9М38
  • 9М38M1
  • 9M317

The latter two are the variants of the first, all having an operational range of around 30 Km....

Why is probability of hitting helicopters less than jets? Helicopters should be rather an easy target for being slow. So??
 
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Low altitude and less heat????? Not sure
