FS25 2K11 Krug v1.0
Technical Profile and Summary of the 2K11 Krug
The 2K11 Krug (NATO reporting name: SA-4 Ganef) is a medium-to-long-range mobile surface-to-air missile system developed to provide high-altitude air defense for front-line military formations.
Key Specifications
Propulsion System: Employs a two-stage missile powered by solid-fuel boosters for the initial launch phase and a liquid-fueled ramjet sustainer motor for sustained high-speed cruise flight.
Range and Altitude: Designed to engage targets at distances typically ranging from 50 to 55 kilometers, operating from medium altitudes up to approximately 24,500 meters.
Chassis and Mobility: Both the self-propelled launcher and radar vehicles are mounted on a heavy tracked chassis (the Objekt 123), providing high tactical mobility to closely accompany armored forces.
Guidance and Radar Systems: Relies on specialized target acquisition, tracking, and continuous-wave illumination radar systems (such as the Pat Hand engagement radar) to track threats and guide missiles via radio command.
Summary and Military Utility
Army-Level Air Defense: Served as the primary high-altitude, long-range defensive umbrella for tank and combined-arms armies, bridging the gap between short-range tactical systems and higher-tier strategic networks.
Area Denial and Protection: Its primary utility lies in denying airspace to high-value aircraft, tactical bombers, reconnaissance planes, and electronic warfare platforms operating at medium and high altitudes, thereby safeguarding advancing ground columns.
