History and application of the S-125M Neman system

The S-125M Neman (NATO designation: SA-3 Goa) is a mobile short-range interceptor missile system, designed in the late 1950s by Soviet engineers. Its main task was to defend key military sites and infrastructure against air and missile attacks. The system entered service in the Soviet Army in the 1960s and was deployed both within the former USSR and across many allied countries (including Poland, East Germany, Egypt, Syria, and Iraq). The S-125M was used in numerous armed conflicts, including wars in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The system was known for its high effectiveness, shooting down many aircraft during the Yom Kippur War in 1973.
