The S-300V is a long-range, mobile surface-to-air missile system developed to provide layered air defense against aircraft, cruise missiles, and ballistic missile threats. Designed to operate as part of an integrated battlefield air defense network, the system combines powerful radar assets with heavy missile launchers mounted on tracked chassis, allowing it to deploy, fire, and relocate rapidly in response to evolving threats.
Unlike simpler point-defense systems, the S-300V was intended to protect large formations and critical assets over wide areas. Its vertically launched missiles and tall radar masts give the system a distinctive and imposing profile, emphasizing reach, detection capability, and engagement at significant distances rather than close-range interception.
This model depicts the S-300V in a deployed configuration and was built largely out of the box, with select enhancements including modified brass antennas and fully airbrushed markings. Finished using acrylics and oils, the emphasis was placed on clean construction, scale accuracy, and subtle weathering rather than heavy wear. With over 1,200 parts in the kit, the build reflects both the complexity of the real system and the engineering challenge of translating such a dense, technical platform into scale form.
