Historical Overview

The S-125 “Neva” (NATO code: SA-3 Goa) is a Soviet short-range surface-to-air missile system. Developed in the late 1950s, it saw widespread use from the 1960s by Soviet Air Defense Forces units and in exported versions to allied countries, including Poland, Egypt, Syria, India, and Cuba. The Neva system was successfully used during Middle Eastern conflicts (such as the Yom Kippur War) and demonstrated its effectiveness by shooting down an American F-117A Stealth aircraft over Yugoslavia in 1999. The SC version was designed for rapid relocation, mounted on a robust MAZ-543 chassis, allowing for quick changes of firing position.
