The 9K35 "Strela-10" ( _ru. 9К35 «Стрела-10»; _en. arrow) is a highly mobile, visually-aimed, optical/infra-red guided, low-altitude, short-range surface to air missile system. "9K35" is its GRAU designation; its NATO reporting name is SA-13 "Gopher".

Development

The 9K35 is the successor of the 9K31 Strela-1 (SA-9 "Gaskin") and can also use the Strela-1's missiles in place of the 9M37. Other missiles in the series include the 9K32M "Strela-2" (SA-7 "Grail") and 9K36 "Strela-3" (SA-14 "Gremlin"), which are both Man-Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS).

Development of the system has started in 1975 at the KB Tochmash Design Bureau of Precision Engineering for the Soviet Army. It continued throughout the years and by September 2007 the 9K35M3-K Kolchan variant, mounted on a BTR-60 wheeled chassis, was displayed for the first time at the Moscow Air Show MAKS 2007.

Rather than being mounted on an amphibious but lightly-armoured BRDM chassis like the SA-9, the SA-13 is mounted on a slightly better protected and more mobile tracked, modified MT-LB.

Description

Associated systems and vehicles

The 9K35 is a SAM system with electro-optical guidance. It has the capability to use radars for target acquisition and range. Some vehicles have a pintle-mounted PKT 7.62 mm machine gun in front of the forward hatch for local protection. Other vehicles have been seen with additional support railings for the system on the rear deck. The following is a list of associated equipment:
* 9A34M2, 9A34M3-K - launcher vehicle with 9S86 "SNAP SHOT" range only radar located between the two pairs of missile canisters on the TELAR (maximum radar range is 450 to 10,000 m).
* 9A35M2, 9A35M3-K - launcher vehicle with 9S16 (NATO 'Flat Box-B') passive radar detection system that gives a 360° azimuth and minimum 40° elevation coverage
* 9F624 and 9F624M training simulator
* 9S482M7 Control Post.
* 9U111 - a 1,950 kg trailer-mounted 12 kW generator unit, designed to feed power to up to four 9A35M2, 9A35M3-K or 9A34M2, 9A34M3-K launcher vehicles at a distance of up to 30 m by cable while conducting maintenance or training operations.
* 9V839M - system checkout vehicle
* 9V915M, 9V915M-1 - technical maintenance vehicle
* MT-LBU "DOG EAR" F/G-band target acquisition radar (maximum range 80 km/50 miles)

Each 9M35 missile is 2.2 m (7.2 ft) long, weighs 39 kg (86 pounds) and carries a 3-6 kg (7-15 pound) warhead. Top missile speed is around Mach 2, engagement range is 500-5000 m (0.3-3 miles) and engagement altitude is between 10 and 3500 m (33-11,500 ft). Four missiles are mounted on the turret in boxes, ready to launch, and eight more are carried inside the vehicle as reloads. Reloading takes around 3 minutes.

* The original 9K35 "Strela-10" uses the 11M35 missile.
* The 9K35M "Strela-10M" uses the 9M37 missile.
* The 9K35M2 "Strela-10M2" uses the 9M37M missile.
* The 9K35M3 "Strela-10M3" uses the 9M333 missile. This version used a dual mode guidance system (optical "photo-contrast" and passive IR) designed to defeat countermeasures.

* The latest version is the 9K35M4.
