Russia offers Buk-M2E air defence systems to Malaysia at DSA 2010

At DSA 2010 Rosoboronexport will present information about Russian-made military equipment. These systems include the Buk-M2E air defence missile system (ADMS), Tor-M2E SHORAD (short-range ADMS), Tunguska-M1 air defence gun/missile system, Igla-S MANPADS (man-portable ADMS), Pantsir-S1 air defence gun/missile system. The Buk-M2E is a mobile multifunctional multi-channel medium-range air defence missile system is widely known for its unique combat effectiveness. It is a follow-on development of the Kvadrat, Buk, Buk-M1 and Buk-M1-2 ADMSs. The Buk-M2E ADMS has substantially increased its combat capacity as compared to the preceding modification. For instance, thanks to integration of a target illumination and missile guidance radar into the system its fire performance has increased by four times and low-altitude air target detection range by 1.5 times. Main combat vehicles of the system can be supplied on the tracked as well as on the wheeled chassis. The Buk-M2E ADMS is designed to defeat strategic and tactical aircraft, helicopters (including hovering ones), cruise missiles and other aerodynamic targets within their practical operational envelopes, tactical ballistic missiles, air-launched missiles and guided aerial bombs, as well as to engage above-water and ground-based radio-contrast targets. The Buk-M2E air defence system provides: simultaneous engagement of up to 24 air targets flying from any direction at a range of up to 45 km; high jamming resistance in conditions of intensive electronic countermeasures; effective protection against high precision munitions; all-weather capability, high survivability, mobility and cross-country capacity, low deployment time on any terrain; adaptability for integration into any air defence grouping; operability in different climatic conditions; missile storage without maintenance for the period of 10 years. On customer requests the Buk-M2E ADMS can be integrated into national air defence systems.
