S125M ABM

The Soviet S-125 was developed as a surface-to-air missile system for air defense, especially against targets at lower altitudes than some earlier systems could handle effectively. NATO called the family SA-3 Goa. Successive national upgrades changed radars, electronics, mobility, and engagement capability.

The NATO designation SA-3 Goa refers to an air-defense system intended to engage aircraft, particularly at lower altitudes than some earlier Soviet missiles. Describing it as an antiballistic-missile system would misstate its principal historical purpose.

Its use by numerous countries produced a long service life beyond the Soviet Union. Radar-guided engagement required launchers, detection and tracking equipment, and trained operators working as a battery, rather than a launcher acting independently.
