The
Buk-M2E (NATO name SA-17 Grizzly) is a Russian made mobile medium-range
surface-to-air missile (SAM) system designed to defend field troops
and logistical installations against air threats. SA-17 Grizzly is an
upgraded version of the proven Buk-M1 mobile air defense system and
retains its main features. It defeats strategic and tactical aircraft,
tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, air-launched missiles,
guided aerial bombs and helicopters, including hovering rotorcraft,
in the presence of heavy electronic countermeasures and under intense
enemy fire. Moreover, it can be used against sea-surface and ground
targets. The Buk-M2E SAM system includes combat elements, such as atarget-acquisition
radar, a battle management station, self-propelled firing vehicles,
an illumination and guidance radar, loader-launcher vehicles, surface-to-air
guided missiles, as well as maintenance and repair facilities. The combat
elements can be mounted either on tracked or wheeled chassis. Wheeled
trucks carry the maintenance facilities. The Buk-M2 can engage a wide
variety of targets from aircraft to missiles flying at an altitude of
between 10 and 24,000 m out a maximum range of 50 km in given conditions.
The SA-17 Grizzly can engage simultaneous of up to 24 targets flying
from any direction.

| Armament |
The SA-17
Grizzly is essentially a tracked chassis that carries a radar
and a launcher with four missiles. A total of four ready to
fire missiles are carried on a turntable type launcher assembly
mounted on the vehicle's rear decking. The phased-array radar
is mounted at a raised angle at the head of the turntable
assembly.

| Missile |
| The
SA-17 Gadfly uses the new 9M317 missile. The SA-17 Grizzly may
also launch the 9M38 and 9M38M1 missiles. The missile was developed
as a joint weapon for Russian Army and Navy air defence systems
and has an extended engagement envelope when compared to the
original Buk-M1 9M38M1 missile. The Buk M2E / SA-17 Grizzly
9A317 TELAR is equipped with the new NIIP 9S36 passive phased
array engagement radar, which provides the capability to concurrently
track and illuminate multiple targets for the four 9M317 Grizzly
SAM rounds. The unified multi-functional 9M317 and 9M317E missiles
are developed in compliance with advanced tendencies and classic
traditions in the development of the world missile construction
industry. It is a high-precision guided weapon integrated in
the Army and Navy air defense systems and it is intended to
defeat modern as well as future aerodynamic, ballistic, surface
and radio-contrast surface threats. The 9M317 and 9M317E missiles
designed by the DRPE JSC have passed complete series of ground
and flight trials in various weapon systems. The missiles successfully
hit following types of targets at the testing stage: analogues
of tactical ballistic missiles, strategic cruise missiles, anti-ship
missiles, cruise missiles, aircraft of the army, tactical and
strategic aviation, helicopters, surface and ground radio contrast
targets. The 9M317 missile is used in the Army in air defense
missile system BUK Ml-2 and the 9M317E missile is used in the
Navy in air defense missile system Shtil-1. The missiles can
be integrated in the newly-developed systems providing them
with multifunctional ability.

| Mobility |
The
SA-17 Grizzly uses the same launcher vehicle chassis, and overall
has a similar configuration to the SA-11 GADFLY. The Buk-M2
uses the GM-569 chassis designed and produced by JSC Metrowagonmash.
The crew compartment provides protection from small arms fire
as well as being sealed against NBC attack. The suspension either
side consists of six dual roadwheels with the drive sprocket
at the rear, idler at the front and four track-return rollers
which support the inside of the double-pin track only. The SA-17
Grizzly 9A317E can run at a maximum speed of 65 km/h on road
and 45 km/h on cross-country, with a maximum range of 500 km. |
