About the Vehicle:
The SA-13 (9K35 Strela-10) was developed in the 1970s to replace earlier Soviet air defense systems and to work alongside ZSU-23-4 Shilkas. Its heat-seeking missiles gave the Soviets an effective counter to NATO’s low-altitude strike aircraft and attack helicopters, providing a layered air defense network. Highly mobile, it could keep up with advancing tank formations, offering protection where it was needed most.
