The OSA anti-aircraft missile system

This system is designed to defense forces in a march and in mobile forms of action, as well as ground-based strategic objects, against manned and unmanned air assault means flying at low and middle altitudes.

Because of the changeover to the production of more advanced air-defense systems, since 1990 the plant has not been producing the Osa system; yet, taking into account the interests of customers and the large base of products operated, the enterprise offer the full range of services about the Osa system, including overhaul and improvement of the equipment being run.

The fulfillment of overhaul works ensures further operation of a product for about 8 years before the next overhaul. The warranty period is one year.
