Jordanian SA-8 AKM are being upgraded to the Saman-M target deployment system:
Saman and Saman-M (Russian Саман – adobe) is a development of the OSA\OSA-M system into target drones, used for testing and training with air defense systems, including SAMs.
9F841 SAMAN TARGET MISSILE
Intended to simulate current and prospective air targets during the training of crews of air defense missile systems used at regimental, divisional and army levels in air defense, air force and naval units, as well as during operational development and trials of new AD missile systems. The 9F841 Saman is a small-size solid-propellant missile used as an air target simulator (ATS). It was developed from the 9FM33M2 (M3) AD missile. In terms of its geometric, ballistic and radar characteristics, it is similar to such air attack weapons as the BGM-34 drone, ALCM and HARM cruise and antiradar missiles and Walleye guided air bombs. The Saman is ramp-launched and controlled in flight until it reaches the desired altitude from an autonomous 9A33AM2 combat vehicle of the Osa-AK AD missile system (unmodified).
The 9F841 ATS, the combat vehicle and the standard set of the Osa-AK AD missile system ground equipment make up a 9F691 training target set. Once it has reached the desired altitude, the ATS may fly independently or make a 5-second pitchup maneuver at the 28th or 40th second of flight or can fly without maneuvering. The combat vehicle allows for the control of two missiles launched at a 5-second interval. In flight, the ATS can be detected and tracked in the radar and IR frequency bands and also observed visually.
ZSU-23-4 Shilka was upgraded to SPAAG system modernisation envisages:
replacement of the existing with advanced radar system featuring improved performance;
replacement of the analogue with up-todate digital computer;
introduction of equipment to receive external target designation data, ensuring automated combat control of the AA gun from a command post of the unit;
introduction of built-in test equipment, as well as a multi-functional simulator to provide training at operators’ workstations;
introduction of self-defence system elements: to protect the SPAAG system against high-precision weapons, to reduce its IR signature, as well as fitting it with an air conditioning system.
Modernisation of the SPAAG systems by introducing up-to-date microcircuitry and components providing digital data processing and exchange will ensure SPAAG system's repairs and supply of spare parts, tools and accessories for another 10 – 12 years.
The Shilka modernisation programme is aimed at improving control, operational and life support capabilities. It includes upgrading of tracked chassis and primary power supply system. An economical diesel-electric power unit improves combat control and crew’s working conditions.
At customer request, the SPAAG system can mount a set of control equipment with two Strelets-23 launch modules, designed to carry and launch four Igla-type missiles, as well as an IFF transponder complying with customer's existing standards.
, you are unbelievable people!
