The Air Defense-Air Force of Vietnam has successfully upgraded the Russian-made air defense missile system S-125-2TM Pechora after a recent test launch in Hanoi, government website chinhphu.vn reported. The Air Defense-Air Force, in cooperation with foreign experts, last Thursday June 4, 2015, held a test launch for three upgraded S-125-2TM Pechora systems, part of the second phase of a scheme to upgrade the medium-range Pechora air defense missile for the service.

The test launch was witnessed by many senior military officials, including Colonel General Luong Cuong, member of the Party Central Committee, member of the Central Military Commission, and Vice Chairman of the General Political Department; and Lieutenant-General Phuong Minh Hoa, member of the Party Central Committee and Commander of the Air Defense-Air Force.
This version of the S-125-2TM or Pechora-2TM system is an upgrade package of the S- 125 Pechora (NATO code SA-3 Goa) short-to-medium-range air defense missiles.
Compared to the previous model, the S-125-2TM air defense missile system now takes much less time to deploy and to fully recover after each launch, and it has robust interference resistance, a high probability of killing its target, including cruise missiles, according to the Air Defense-Air Force.
The fire control system was also upgraded to become more powerful. The system now has the ability to fire two missiles to lock on and hit two targets with very small radar reflector areas simultaneously, said the Air Defense-Air Force.

The S-125-2TM PECHORA-2TM ADMS is an upgrade version of the S-125 Pechora (SA-3). The new system was designed by the Belarus Company TETRAEDR to offer a modernized air defense missile system able to destroy aerial targets in complex jamming environment.
The S-125-2?M PECHORA-2TM ADMS is able to destroy aerial targets at low-altitude and small-size targets under the conditions of all types of jamming. The system can be also used to destroy ground radar and water-surface targets.
In order to increase the jamming immunity the upto-date technical solutions, digital algorithms of signal processing and moving target selection are employed in the S-125-2TM Pechora-2TM ADMS.
Radar surveillance and target designation, a meter-band radar P-18T/TRS-2D can additionally be attached to the S-125-2TM Pechora-2TM ADMS, which replaces the two radars – P-18 and P-19.
The S-125-2TM Pechora-2TM ADMS can integrate in any Air Defence System employing various types of combat control posts and reconnaissance assets.
