Ukrainian STASH air defense system — all the details and video
The combat operation of the STASH anti-aircraft missile system was the destruction of a Shahed attack UAV during the repelling of a massive enemy drone strike on the western region of the country, the statement of the West Air Command says.
In the video, you can see that the complex was placed on a trailer and also equipped with the Israeli RADA radar system.
Netizens also noticed that the SAM uses AGM-114L Longbow Hellfire anti-aircraft missiles.
According to the latest data, STASH was created by the American company V2X, and is a budget variation of its Tempest DASH (Denied Area Sprinter-Hellfire) self-propelled complex, which has previously been spotted on the front.
What is important to understand is that the Tempest air defense system was developed to carry out combat missions in which mobility and low visibility play a key role.
The key goal is to defeat Russian drones, helicopters, and aircraft at low altitudes in all weather conditions. The technical characteristics of the complex are not disclosed.
