I do not expect much SAM actions here, but it might be interesting, that the Soviet Union sold SAM equipment to Mali during the Cold War.

1pcs of S-125M Neva (SA-3B) system was sold, with 36pcs of V-601P 5V27U (Goa) missiles.

2pcs of S-125M1A Neva (SA-3B) system was sold, with 70pcs of V-601PD 5V27D (Goa) missiles.

One SNR-125M (Low Blow) Fire Control radar can be found on Google Earth at the Bamako airport...
... with a P-18 above.


I don't think as don't believe that muslim radikals has a personal to manage this equipment... At least Bamako is in hands of "good guys"...
