| Description |
English: The S-75 Dvina was a Soviet high-altitude air-defence system, using a V-750 surface-to-air guided missile. It was one of the most widely deployed air-defence systems in history and in October 1959 it became the first surface-to-air system to destroy an enemy aircraft, when three Chinese missiles destroyed a Taiwanese RB-57D over China. Given the NATO reporting name ‘SA-2 Guideline’, it achieved worldwide recognition when it was used to shoot down Gary Powers’ U-2 over Moscow in 1960 and then a second U-2 over Cuba in October 1962.
This is an SA-2B variant known in Russia as the S-75 Desna. It could intercept targets at between 1,600ft and 98,400ft and had a range of 21 miles. It was donated to the Smithsonian Institute by the US Navy in 1985 and is seen on display in the Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center as part of the National Air and Space Museum.
