Dies ist der einzige Eintrag des Katalogs zu diesem System. Es ist für die unten genannten Module relevant; der Force Atlas jedes Moduls zeigt, wie es dort eingesetzt wird.

Betreiber

Iran and the Gulf: S-300PMU-2 batteries delivered by Russia in 2016 after a six-year freeze, operated by the Artesh Air Defence Force; their condition after the 2025 and 2026 campaigns is not established. · Armenia: Backbone of Armenian long-range air defence into 2020; multiple components visually documented as destroyed by drones and loitering munitions during the war. · Azerbaijan: Acquired S-300PMU-2 from Russia in the 2010s; not the system the 2020 air campaign turned on.

Rolle auf dem Gefechtsfeld

Long-range, high-altitude area air defence — designed against aircraft and cruise missiles, structurally challenged by small, slow, cheap unmanned systems attacking the radars it cannot fight without.

Stärken

Genuine long-range reach against conventional air threats; mobility by design; the reason manned airpower played a marginal role in the Karabakh wars.

Einschränkungen

The 2020 record is the point: radars that must emit to matter were found and killed by anti-radiation loitering munitions and TB2-directed fires, with losses visually documented — a capability lesson that reshaped air defence thinking well beyond the region.

Relevanz für Kampagnen

Abgeleitet: Eine beteiligte Organisation dieser Kampagnen hat eine typisierte Ausrüstungszuordnung zu diesem System. Das ist nicht dasselbe wie ein dokumentierter Einsatz des Systems in der Kampagne selbst.

• Der Karabach-Konflikt, 1988–2023 February 1988 – September 2023

  via Armenian Armed Forces (Historically associated, high confidence); Azerbaijani Air Force (Documented)

• Der Normalisierungsprozess zwischen Armenien und Aserbaidschan Since November 2020

Visuelle Erkennung

Tube quads on 5P85 transporter-erector-launchers, large phased-array engagement radar, distinctive mast-mounted low-altitude radar on some batteries.

Dokumentierter Einsatz im Konflikt

Armenian S-300 components (launchers, radars) documented destroyed in Azerbaijani strike footage and independent OSINT counts during the 2020 war. This record is historical context for the module's capability story, not an inventory of current holdings.
