The 2K11 “Krug” system (GRAU designation: 2K11, NATO code: SA-4 Ganef) was one of the key elements of the Soviet Armed Forces’ air defense during the Cold War. It was developed by the NPO Novator design bureau and manufactured at the Kalinin Machine Building Plant. It entered service between 1965 and 1980, and is still used by some states of the former Eastern Bloc. This system was used operationally, for example, during conflicts in the Middle East and was characterized by its ability to engage targets at high altitudes and long distances, serving as an effective obstacle for NATO aviation.
