Equipment
The main equipment of a brigade consists of Soviet-made surface-to-air missile systems S-125M1T "Neva" and 2K12 "Kub-M" and supporting equipment, as surveillance and surveillance-acquisition radars P-12 and P-18 for "Neva", reconnaissance-radar station P-40 with reconnaissance-aviation radar 1RL-128D-1 and PRV-16B altitude assessment radar for "Kub". In addition the units are armed with 9K32 "Strela-2" man-portable, shoulder-fired, low-altitude surface-to-air missile systems (MANPAD). The Neva systems have been modernized to S-125M1T standard with an upgraded digital radar receiver DP/P-12 which enables operation from a location 500m away from the radar cabin.

Famous quotes containing the word equipment:
“Biological possibility and desire are not the same as biological need. Women have childbearing equipment. For them to choose not to use the equipment is no more blocking what is instinctive than it is for a man who, muscles or no, chooses not to be a weightlifter.”
—Betty Rollin (b. 1936)
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“Dr. Scofield’s equipment, which you have just seen, radiated waves direct to Professor Houghland’s laboratory. When these waves came in contact with those the professor’s equipment was radiating, they created the interstellar frequency, which is the death ray.”
—Joseph O’Donnell, and Clifford Sanforth. Arthur Perry (Bela Lugosi)
