Feast your eyes on the "swinging" performance in the sky of Vietnam's S-125 air defense missile

The S-125 missile quickly left the launch pad and maneuvered in the sky, before detonating the warhead, apparently to destroy the simulated target. A member of a forum passionate about Vietnamese military equipment has just posted a video of an air defense exercise using the S-125 missile system. In the video, the S-125 missile quickly left the launch pad and maneuvered in the sky, before detonating the warhead, apparently to destroy the simulated target. The S-125 Pechora is a surface-to-air missile system designed and manufactured by the Soviet Union, put into service since 1963. In order to ensure the combat capability as well as the technical and tactical features of the S-125, in 2014, Vietnam cooperated with the Belarusian company Tetraedr to upgrade the S-125 Pechora to the S-125-2TM (Pechora-2TM) standard. Although old, the S-125 Pechora system still plays the backbone role of the Vietnam Air Defense Force.
