The S-125-VT still uses the old missile of the S-125-M1 complex, but has many improvements to increase the target hitting rate and the ability to guide multiple missiles at the same time with a slightly increased range of more than 20km (photo: BaoQDND)

As one of the weapons first introduced by the Military Industry-Telecoms Group (Viettel) at the Vietnam International Defense Exhibition 2024, the modernized S-125-VT air defense missile system has many outstanding features compared to the original version.

As a modernized version, the S-125-VT has superior features compared to the standard version of the Pechora complex, even some features are several times higher (photo: BaoQDND)

What is more special is that for complex weapons systems such as air defense missiles  , Viettel has gradually mastered the technology to modernize the "magic crossbow" for the Vietnam People's Army.

In addition to radar guidance and surveillance, the S-125-VT also incorporates an electro-optical observation unit that detects and locks onto low-flying targets or in the event of complete radar suppression (photo: BaoQDND)

Below are some images of the S-125-VT complex recorded by reporters of the People's Army Newspaper.

The UNK-VT control vehicle acts as the heart of the S-125-VT complex. According to Viettel's announcement, thanks to the improved control system, the S-125-VT can guide 2 missiles at 2 targets at the same time. The hit rate against tactical aircraft is up to 90%. This is a high rate for air defense weapons (photo: BaoQDND)

The UNV-VT radar guidance system of the S-125-VT complex has been deeply improved, meeting the ability to operate well in a strong electronic suppression environment. The system has a maximum surveillance range of up to 90km (photo: BaoQDND)
