Historical description

The SA-2 “Guideline” (known in the USSR as S-75 Dvina) is the most recognizable ground-based missile system of the Cold War era. Designed in the 1950s, it was widely used for the air defense of strategic areas both in the Soviet Union and many allied countries. The SA-2 became famous for shooting down the American U-2 in 1960 over Sverdlovsk and for its intense use during the Vietnam War. The ZiL-157 vehicle, in turn, was the basic truck of the Red Army and served as the prime mover for launchers and missiles.
