So here i want to talk about the 2K12 Kub; aka the SA-6 gainful. It was probably one of the most dangerous threats of the 70ies up to the 90ies, even if today it is obsolete, it is credited with around 50 kills; some of them friendly-fire incidents. It's a widespread system and has seen a lot of action



A famous target...

Exactly.
