3:04 Rendezvous with a Thunderchief. The wiki page for the F-105 shows a shoot down possibly from the same sequence. But then there were many so who knows.
They have one of these on display in Havana at the Museum of the Revolution, beside some of the parts of the U2 they shot down. It used to be rattle canned with Cuban Chrome, but i think they have since repainted it.
SA-2 was the bane of the U.S. air force during the Vietnam war, a truly terrifying weapon. It was a demonstration of the Russian focus on highly effective air defense systems, carried through to this day with outstanding systems such as S-300, S-400, and S-500 which have no peer in the west.
@pistonssssss didn't the Soviets have also ships that supplied Haiphong port and not just the railway line networks? And they surely could have flown supplies over other countries pro-Soviet to avoid Chinese approproiation
Soviet techs went to Vietnam to help the Vietnamese operate these missiles. The Vietnamese were actually given a older version then the Soviets were using which Vietnamese people's army complained about because it didn't have good anti jamming ability.

Super. An unexpected surprise. Kind of like the missiile itself. Just occurred to me. OK,solid fuel booster. Any idea just what the ingredients are ? And then liquid fuel. With a storage tank for what,topping off ? OK,any idea just which ingredients make that up ? A system reliable enough to be used for decades. Pretty impressive.
The liquid fuel in the fuel cell was probably Tonka/R-Stoff, known in the Soviet Union as TG-02. Designed by ze Germans at the end of ww2 for the Wasserfall surface-to-air system, and then joinked after the war by the Soviets and used in a lot of rocket systems either as fuel or as igniter. No idea what the solid rocket booster uses for fuel though.
@@bami2 Hey thanks for that. I remember watching VHS videos on airplanes. And wishing I could find out about their engines,their brakes,and well,stuff. And nowadays I can watch an aircraft engine rebuild,oh,the videos out on the SR 71 just an example. Nuts and bolts stuff and I can reach out and someone like you can answer. There is a price for everything but to me that is pretty darned incredible. All the best.
The solid fuel was likely a rubberized polymer, with a ammonium perchlorate oxidizer with maybe a powdered aluminum additive to get a higher ISP, specific impulse. It would be mixed together to form a liquid which would be vacuum poured into the case with a removable mandrel to form a core . The rubberized polymers of the 50s weren't very stable, and would limit shelf life. HTPB polymers of the 70s era is more stable.
I don't have the solid fuel composition, however the liquid fuel was said to be Nitric acid as the oxidiser along with 56% kerosene and 40 % Tricresol (an inhibitor)

After SA-2's started being supplied to North Vietnam around 1965 American pilots nicknamed them 'Russian telephone poles'. I've read one early pilot report where he was puzzled by this telephone pole thing floating up towards him before passing him at high speed in a very near miss.
This much for one plane, while we can kill a human with our hands. This thing is massive I really like museums with this type of stuff it's not common to see
Just because a missile is hughe it does not mean that it can be outmanovered. The missile of the S-300PT/PS the 5V55R is 1500-1660 kg but it is so fast, and can pull so high G which in most of cases makes it impossible to defeat.

Love to know the story on how it ended up in Australia 🇦🇺
A lot of Soviet stuff in Western museums was either captured from Iraq or acquired after the Cold War when the old Warsaw Pact countries joined NATO.

They bought it or were gifted it like many other museums around the world 🙄
