42S6 Morfey

Russian Tracked Surface-to-air missile system From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

42S6 Morfey or Morfei (Морфей, after the god of dreams in Greek mythology Morpheus) with missile 9M338K or RZV-MD based and derived from the Tor-M2, was a short range air defense system under development for the Russian Armed Forces.[1] It was a mobile system with a range of 5 km (3 mi). Development has been ongoing since 2007 and it was supposed to be introduced in 2015. It was reported to feature an omnidirectional cupola-type radar[2] with an active electronically scanned array.[3] It was being developed by Almaz-Antey.[1]

  • This system is designated as a short-range air defense system to protect the S-400 missile system from various threats at their terminal phases, and will also act together with the S-350E as a supplement to the S-400 missile system. Together, these systems form part of the Aerospace Defence Forces.[4]
  • Development of Morfey started in 2007. It was planned to be introduced in 2013, however this was delayed until at least 2015.[5][6][7] The missile system consists of an omnidirectional 29YA6 radar, infrared sensors and 36 missiles.[4] The missiles have up to 15 km range and an altitude of up to 5000 m.[8]
