| Source measurement | The FK-2000 surface-to-air missile (SAM) system consists of a self-propelled air defense vehicle mounted on an 8x8 transporter chassis with an unmanned turret mounted on top. The missile is capable of targeting aircraft at a range of 1.2–25 km (0.75–15.53 mi) and cruise missiles at a range of 1.2–10 km (0.75–6.21 mi). A total of 12 missiles are mounted on the side of the turret with an independent elevation mechanism. The close-in air defense is provided by two 30 mm (1.2 in) six-barrel Gatling cannon, also with adjustable elevation. A search radar is mounted at the top-rear position of the turret, while the targeting radar is mounted at the front position. An optical/infrared tracking sight is also mounted as the auxiliary fire control. |
