OFFICIAL ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO MOSCOW ANTI-AIRCRAFT DEFENSE SYSTEM, 1955
S-25 is a surface-to-air guided missile, the first operational SAM system in the Soviet Union. It was deployed in several rings around Moscow, starting in 1955 and became combat ready in June 1956. It was used only to defend Moscow, similar ring was planned to protect Leningrad, but was abandoned due to the appearance of the upgraded and mobile SAM S-75 (SA-2 Guideline). S-25 is short for “System 25”, and was referring to the entire system of missiles, radars, and launchers. Below is the illustration from two unpublished guides for S-25 and V-300 (SA-1 Guild) SAM, compiled in 1955 and classified - until recently.
