The Strela-10 anti-aircraft missile system (AMS) is a Soviet self-propelled short-range air defense system designed to destroy air targets at low altitudes. The Strela-10 is based on the MT-LB tracked platform, which provides high mobility and the ability to operate together with armored units.
The complex is armed with four or six 9M37 guided missiles in various modifications, which are equipped with an infrared or photocontrast homing head. This allows it to destroy enemy aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles and drones at a range of up to 5 km and an altitude of up to 3.5 km.
The system has been widely used by the Russians in Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine, and other combat zones. Despite its relative obsolescence, it is still in service with the Russian army and is being modernized to increase its effectiveness.
