Love to know the story on how it ended up in Australia 🇦🇺

[@cm275]

A lot of Soviet stuff in Western museums was either captured from Iraq or acquired after the Cold War when the old Warsaw Pact countries joined NATO.

[@StuSaville]

They mentioned in an earlier video that it came from Bulgaria.

[@alangordon3283]

They bought it or were gifted it like many other museums around the world 🙄

[@kalui96]

I like this video because it doesn't try to be overdramatic. no annoying music either

[@gregsmith451]

Hear hear!!!!!

[@russwoodward8251]

A fascinating platform, basic Soviet tech that gets the job done. Thank you Jason Belgrave for this amazing walk-around.

[@paulparker8298]

This was cutting edge technology in the 1950s when it was commissioned

[@russwoodward8251]

@@paulparker8298 yes, ain’t that something? More like a V2 than an M42 HIMARS.

Thanks Jason, brilliant tutorial on a weapon system I had never heard of. And never thought you would have at the museum, Cheers

[@keclonis]

Saw it in person at the museum - bigger than I expected - impressive to see after reading and watching it for so long.

[@andyronayne7947]

Another excellent video. Fascinating topic and information. Very well done.

[@TheSonicfrog]

SA-2 was the bane of the U.S. air force during the Vietnam war, a truly terrifying weapon. It was a demonstration of the Russian focus on highly effective air defense systems, carried through to this day with outstanding systems such as S-300, S-400, and S-500 which have no peer in the west.

[@user-ff8uf5xu1j]

actually S-300/400 can be compared to the MIM-104 Patriot PAC-2/3.

[@JetS_Gamer]

Went to the museum for my first time 2 days ago, and saw this, nice to see a video on it aswell

[@michaelguerin56]

Good video. Thank you Jason et al. Interesting to hear that it took fourteen of these missiles to shoot down Gary Powers.

We got a couple of these down the road (as well as a dummy one made of bamboo which was used as a decoy back in the day).

[@martiehensley4452]

I love your channel just great and so very interesting

[@ScreamingReelsTV]

They have one of these on display in Havana at the Museum of the Revolution, beside some of the parts of the U2 they shot down. It used to be rattle canned with Cuban Chrome, but i think they have since repainted it.

[@dominikg9720]

Did you guys follow my request or not... thank you very much. You made my day, you made my weekend. Amazing story about GUIDELINE. Thanks Jason for a FEW information. You are guys the best. Best regards from Poland 🇵🇱

[@NinjaKittyBonks]

Gotta be pretty scary when that missile makes it onto your radar or even worse... field of view. As per usual, Jason packs a LOT of info in a clean concise manner, G'day 🦘

[@IntrospectorGeneral]

After SA-2's started being supplied to North Vietnam around 1965 American pilots nicknamed them 'Russian telephone poles'. I've read one early pilot report where he was puzzled by this telephone pole thing floating up towards him before passing him at high speed in a very near miss.

[@billyponsonby]

3:04 Rendezvous with a Thunderchief. The wiki page for the F-105 shows a shoot down possibly from the same sequence. But then there were many so who knows.

[@tgfcujhb7583]

The flying telephone pole.

[@brealistic3542]

Soviet techs went to Vietnam to help the Vietnamese operate these missiles. The Vietnamese were actually given a older version then the Soviets were using which Vietnamese people's army complained about because it didn't have good anti jamming ability.

[@icantaimpg3d776]

They did upgrade our S-75 systems later I believe

The most dangerous flying telephone pole....

[@zhuangsaur227]

A telegraph pole sized missile weighing 2 tons with a warhead weighing nearly 200 kg .... and capable of Mach 3 flight 😮

[@paulmanson253]

Super. An unexpected surprise. Kind of like the missiile itself. Just occurred to me. OK,solid fuel booster. Any idea just what the ingredients are ? And then liquid fuel. With a storage tank for what,topping off ? OK,any idea just which ingredients make that up ? A system reliable enough to be used for decades. Pretty impressive.

[@bami2]

The liquid fuel in the fuel cell was probably Tonka/R-Stoff, known in the Soviet Union as TG-02. Designed by ze Germans at the end of ww2 for the Wasserfall surface-to-air system, and then joinked after the war by the Soviets and used in a lot of rocket systems either as fuel or as igniter. No idea what the solid rocket booster uses for fuel though.

[@paulmanson253]

@@bami2 Hey thanks for that. I remember watching VHS videos on airplanes. And wishing I could find out about their engines,their brakes,and well,stuff. And nowadays I can watch an aircraft engine rebuild,oh,the videos out on the SR 71 just an example. Nuts and bolts stuff and I can reach out and someone like you can answer. There is a price for everything but to me that is pretty darned incredible. All the best.

[@orbitalair2103]

The solid fuel was likely a rubberized polymer, with a ammonium perchlorate oxidizer with maybe a powdered aluminum additive to get a higher ISP, specific impulse. It would be mixed together to form a liquid which would be vacuum poured into the case with a removable mandrel to form a core . The rubberized polymers of the 50s weren't very stable, and would limit shelf life. HTPB polymers of the 70s era is more stable.

[@jasonbelgrave2831]

I don't have the solid fuel composition, however the liquid fuel was said to be Nitric acid as the oxidiser along with 56% kerosene and 40 % Tricresol (an inhibitor)

[@awf6554]

Fascinating, thanks. Used in the Arab-Israeli wars?

[@cdburner5911]

I wonder though if the SA2 was ever converted to ground usage.... apparently veteran Israeli tankers remarked how Egyptian SAM crews in desperation launcued SA2 missiles at them....

This much for one plane, while we can kill a human with our hands. This thing is massive I really like museums with this type of stuff it's not common to see

[@VincentNajger1]

well...we likely CAN....it's whether we SHOULD or not. There's a LOT of diplomatic shenanigans and politics involved. But if push comes to shove, watch how fast we can start mass producing much better designs than this. Why spend squillions building them if we aren't going to use them within their allotted lifespan? There is little point. We just end up enriching the war profiteers......so we won't make most war materiel until we need to, which is fine by me...much better places to waste that money.
