Historical Information

The S-125 Neva is a Soviet medium-range surface-to-air missile system, developed in the 1950s and introduced into service in the early 1960s. It complemented the larger S-75 system and effectively neutralized low-flying aerial targets. The S-125 system was used during Middle Eastern conflicts, including operations over Syria and Egypt, and played a significant role during the 1999 Yugoslav War, when it was used to shoot down the American F-117A Nighthawk aircraft.

Recommendation and Difficulty Level

The S-125 Neva by A&A Models is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers due to its numerous small parts and the complex structure of the launcher. The difficulty level is rated at 4/5. It is an excellent choice for enthusiasts of military missile systems, military technology history aficionados, and collectors of Cold War equipment seeking a detailed and accurate replica of weaponry from that era.
