The NUSR 9k57S/D/SR/DR
Air Defense System/
Rocket Artilery


The 9k57 has 4 interchangable options the 'S' and 'D' S, for Medium, D, for Long Rangr misile and the SR/DR for medium and long rocket.

The crew can jack up the missle/rocket unit, delink the truck/crew compartment, and drive out, then back in to a different missile/rocket unit. The Missle/Rocket units are joined by 8 bolts, 4 per primary support beams on the underside.

Standard issue for the system is for 4 sers of tracks, able to cover both drive axles and both rear axles (ie 4 wheels per track) for greater ability to handle snow. The tracks are laid out behind the wheels and then backed on to and connected/tighted like a big set of chains.

It takes on average 5 minutes to reload the system.
