Here are some vehicles of a different kind seen at an air defense installation in April 2016 where I also photogrpahed this Shilka system and this Buk 9A310.
Now I am going to dump in this post the rest of the pictures I took at the show.
The first one is a Tunguska.
Not only does it have missiles, it also has automatic AA guns for good measure.
Below is an OSA-AKM for use against low flying targets, especially helicopters (which are always vulnerable anyway).
White walls!
To the left of it is a Buk system.
A larger Thor (Tor) system.
An even larger S-300V3 system; this one is truly long-range, intended to shoot down bandits at distant approaches.
And finally the king of missiles is the Topol mobile ICBM.
"Topol means" a "poplar" (tree) in Russian. So there's this joke... something about planting a poplar somewhere... in the white house rose garden? Hehe. But never mind.
