The SAM-6 was a mobile all-weather guided missile system for short-range and low-altitude air defence. The complete weapon system consisted of a guided missile vehicle and a radar system. Development began at the end of the 1950s and the system entered troop service in the mid-1960s. During the fourth Middle East War in 1973, this type of guided missile was used by Syria and Egypt, shooting down several Israeli aircraft. The radar operated across multiple wave bands and frequencies, giving it strong anti-interference capability.
