SA-3 Goa – 1753 Pieces

The SA-3 Goa (Russian name S-125 Neva) system began development in 1956 as a low- to medium-altitude complement to the larger S-25/R-113 (SA-1), S-75 (SA-2) and S-200 (SA-5) medium- to high-altitude surface-to-air missile systems. The S-125 using the V-600 missile entered operational service with the PVO-Strany (Voyska Protivovozduchnoy Oborony Strany – Troops of the National Air Defence) missile units for use on airfield defence, low-level air defence around long-range SAM systems. In 1964, the improved S-125M Neva-M system entered service. This used the V-601 missile and later the 5V27 and then 5V27V missiles. The naval upgrade was known as the 4K91 system. The export version of the system was designated S-125 Pechora. In 1973, the 5P73 quadruple rail launcher was introduced into service with air defence forces to supplement the original 5P71 twin launcher in areas of strategic importance.
