SA-13 Gopher SAM Platoon

Description

Includes two resin and metal SA-13 Gopher self-propelled missile systems and one Unit Card.

The SA-13 Gopher, called Strela-10 (Arrow‑10) by its Russian crews, is a tracked, amphibious Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) system. It replaced the wheeled SA-9 Gaskin which could not keep up with tanks in rough terrain. The missiles have both optical and infra-red guidance, with a radar system to check that the target is in range.
