Surface-to-air Missile Systems

Surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems are advanced weaponry designed to detect, track, and destroy enemy aircraft or missiles from the ground. They consist of a launcher, targeting radar, and the missile itself, which is guided toward its target by radar or other sensors. These systems provide critical air defense for military forces and strategic locations by intercepting threats before they reach their targets. Modern SAM systems can engage multiple targets simultaneously and are mobile, allowing deployment in various terrains. They play a vital role in maintaining control of airspace and preventing hostile aerial attacks.
