Long before a deal for the supply of S-400 Air Defence System was concluded between Russia and India , Russian officials on sidelines of Defexpo 2016 held in Goa earlier this year had confirmed to author that Russia has offered to supply Buk-M2E air defence missile system to India .
Officials of Almaz-Antey had confirmed that upgraded Buk-M3 with 70 km range, which is 20kms more range than its predecessor was offered to India to work in tandem with S-400 long-range Air Defence System. Buk-M2 first developed in 1988, only entered serial production after 15 years is considered one of the finest weapons in its class . Buk-M2E is multi-channel, multifunctional, highly mobile medium-range air defence missile system (ADMS) which is designed to engage tactical and strategic aviation aircraft,cruise missiles.helicopters .
Buk-M2E is capable of working independently or as a part of air defence formation under Air defence brigade automated command and control system along with S-400 systems or with Tor-M1 . When asked about how it is different from Indo-Israeli developed LR-SAM Air Defence
System, Almaz-Antey officials claimed that ADMS provides highly effective air defence for troops on the move in any conditions and can provide 24 hours ,all weather around the clock operation . while it can continuously provide high mobility and comes with excellent cross-country capabilities . 70 km ranged upgraded Buk-M3 can also be used for guarding administrative and industrial installations and was in the news when Buk-M2E was used to bring down Malaysia Airlines MH17 near the town of Grabovo, in the Donetsk Region in eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 passengers and crew on-board.
Buk battalion comes with one command vehicle, a target acquisition radar (TAR) vehicle, six transporter erector launcher and radar (TELAR) vehicles and three transporter erector launcher (TEL) vehicles. Each TEL vehicle is a tracked chassis that carries one row of four ready-to-fire missiles in launch tubes, connected to a turntable style launcher assembly mounted on the rear of the vehicle. Each vehicle also has its own phased-array radar mounted on the turntable assembly. As for the missiles, each one weighs 710kg and measures 5.5m in length, with an explosive load of 180kg.
