Propulsion

[edit]

This wikipedia article indicate that SA-11 has a liquid ramjet sustainer. I think it is a mistake. SA-11 uses a solid fueled rocket.

It says: "Propulsion is via a solid fuel rocket booster, the empty container at burnout forming the combusion chamber for a liquid fuel ramjet sustainer." So the solid rocket is in there. - Aerobird Target locked - Fox One! 16:10, 17 January 2007 (UTC)::I read various sources and found no hints on the ramjet, they all speak of "solid-fuel" only. Furthermore I don't see any air intake (like the SA-6). So I removed the ramjet remark from the german de:SA-11 Gadfly article and would like to read your sources before inserting it again. --Bernd-vdb 23:07, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The information should be corrected in the english WP as well. Any sources for "ramjet" found? --Bernd-vdb 15:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Changed that now. --Bernd-vdb 20:43, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures

[edit]

The ones of the radar vehicles, have nothing to do with the BUK, as they are of SA-6, and the vehicles and the antennas of SA-11 / BUK type are totally different. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.248.159.240 (talk) 20:15, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Only used by Russia and Ukraine?

[edit]

I saw in one internet site, years ago, that Finnland was looking for to buy, this weapon.Beyond doubt, this is a SA-6 system, with many upgrades.Agre22 (talk) 22:10, 23 July 2008 (UTC)agre22[reply]

Finland operates 3 missile batteries, received in mid-1990s as debt-payment, but the Finns are considering the missile to soon become outdated (I think it is some electronics issue that was the main concern). They are currently looking into options for replacement/modernization, one of these is the M2 version, but a totally new system is not ruled out.
Found it: http://www.defensenews.com/ Finland Looks To Replace Russian SAM System (12.3.2008)--MoRsE (talk) 22:56, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Link before dead unfortunally, but here is finnish link. [1] It says (in finnish) that here in Finland has been BUK systems since 1996, and to be replaced soon (2014) with norwegian-american NASAMS 2 systems. --Tutkamestari (talk) 20:03, 23 July 2014 (UTC) Typo-fix --Tutkamestari (talk) 18:10, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

[edit]
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
The result was merge into Buk missile system. -- ŦħęGɛя㎥ 03:14, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Taken from an earlier discussion on the SA-15.

The article currently does not comply with the developed name convention of Russian SAM systems, should be "9K330 Tor" as opposed to "Tor Missile System" like "9K37 Buk", "9K33 Osa", "9K22 Tunguska" etc. --Typhoon9410 (talk)

I partially agree : The Tor Missile System (SA-15) is the 9K330. but here is a little problem :
Tor
9K330
Tor-M
9K331
Tor-M1
(no name) 9K331M
Tor-M2
9K332
All those variants would also require a separate article... What I suggest is to keep the current name and use it as a system family (a little bit like the S-300 family).
By the same token, The SA-6, SA-11 and SA-17 could be merged as the same system family... It kinda annoys me too to have multiple standards.
--Ŧħę௹ɛя㎥ 21:46, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thats a good point, its the problem of dealing with all these changing designations (had this problem with radars), even Tor Missile System is quite specific to one particular system, the 9K330. Though I agree it is the better "catch all" name for the whole family and that we should probably keep the current name. Merging SA-11 and SA-17 under "Buk Missile System" sounds good though I would be inclined to keep the Kub Missile System seperate, though they are closely related.Typhoon9410 (talk) 15:31, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. But we will need to fix the three articles as they talk a lot about each other. Same problem with SA-7,SA-14, SA-16, SA-18 and SA-24. --Ŧħę௹ɛя㎥ 03:14, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, so things look set to propose a merge for all of the Buk articles into "Buk missile system"?Typhoon9410 (talk) 11:59, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, before we forget and the articles get too complex... I will put the merge tags.--ŦħęGɛя㎥ 13:07, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Buk missile system (9K37 Buk) and 9K37M1-2 Buk-M1-2

  • Re: I don't think we really need this to be merged. Remember, it's a different system SA-17 against SA-11 and not only because the newer missile it incorporates. --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 08:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • But I'm against splitting Buk, Buk-1 and Buk-M1, as they shared a codename of SA-11 --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 09:00, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pro-Merger, since coming to the consensus that Russian systems should use Russian rather than NATO designations there has been a huge problem around finding a consistant naming convention for SAM's, radar etc. This has not been helped by the multitude of designations and varients generated by the Russians. All of the above should ideally be treated as seperate versions but this has generated a lot of small articles all discussing what is essentially the same system. They do however all share the same Buk name despite the changes in radar, missiles and designation over the years, as a result I think we would get a much better article by merging them all into one article like the Tor Missile System, which nicely covers all 4 varients of the system. I think the Buk missile system covers 3 good reasons to merge in that the current articles are duplicate, overlap and text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Typhoon9410 (talk • contribs) 12:44, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pro-merger, as per previously discussed, and as per the Weaponry Task Force, if an aricle is about a variant of another system, it should be a section from the main article. The fact that it has a different NATO designation has absolutely nothing to do with having an article by itself. Look at the SA-10/SA-12/SA-20 article. Since they are in the same family, share a common history and are really similar, they are in the same article, which look way more complete. Same deal with the Tor Missile System (which has many variants and upgrades) and any other weapon systems. The Buk missile system should be merged. --ŦħęGɛя㎥ 13:03, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's not a matter of NATO classification or other indices! The Buk-M1 and -M1-2 are different. The way I count the missile system equal or different is the structure of it. Buk-M1-2 have a different structure, it got rid of the older Kub radar vehicles (Kupol, I mean) and incorporated new redesigned vehicles. And, as I mentioned before, it was designed for a different rocket. And this case should not be compared with Tor or S-300/400 or Strela, they are totally different designs and should be discussed separately. Strongly oppose the merge --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 21:12, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • And a word about Tor. It's not the problem. the main GRAU designation is 9K33, 0 means the first Tor, 1 is the first modernization (Tor-M), 1M is the redesign of it (Tor-M1) and 2 is the most recent Tor-M2. --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 21:54, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Still Strong Pro-Merger, first acording to my information the "9K33" designation refers to the Osa missile system rather than Tor. Secondly its interesting to note that even GRAU classes the Buk-M1-2 as just a modification of the original since it still carries the "9K37" designator, its only Buk-M2 that earns a new designator the "9K40" but even so retains the "Buk" name. Basically all the Buk systems are very similar and though modified over time there is no great change as seen between Kub and Buk or Osa and Tor which do justify seperate articles. Plus we will get a much better article out of the merger, I cannot wait to start on it but its impossible while its so fragmented.Typhoon9410 (talk) 11:01, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, you partially convinced me, let's try to merge. Buk-M1-2 is in fact a transitional variant between Buk-M1 and Buk-M2. You've mentioned correctly that Buk-M2 carries a different GRAU designator, but as to my knowledge it's 9K317. So, I think that it would be more or less correct to mention M1-2 in 9K37 Buk article as well as in the future 9K317 Buk articles.
    About the GRAU codes. Please, always check Russian sources, because sources in English appears to be erroneous. For example, here we can read "Launch System: Buk-M1. Complex: 9K40. Missile: 9M38M1", and here - "Launch System: Buk-M1-2. Complex: 9K40M. Missile: 9M38M2". And even in Janes': "9K40 Buk-M2 (SA-17/'Grizzly')". As to me, that's just bullshit, you know. Buk-M2 is often cited as 9K37M2 as well as 9K317.
    Now let's check Russian sources. [2]: "9K317 «Buk-M2»", [3]: "9К317 Buk-M2", and even the [4]: "Buk-M1-2 9K317" How is that? Buk-M1-2 was a transitional complex (9K37->9K317), it's development started a next generation of Buks. That's the root of our problem. --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 14:18, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like we are all violently agreeing on the fact that all those weapon systems share a common developmental history and should be merged as the "Buk missile system". --ŦħęGɛя㎥ 21:46, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes we seem to have a consensus! My bad on the Buk GRAU, designation systems has been very reliable in the past. Checked around 9K37M2 and 9K317 seem to be commonly used on russian websites with no referance to 9K40. The existance of the 9K37M2 designation provides good grounds for the merger.Typhoon9410 (talk) 13:02, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have saved both articles at this location. Please feel free to help in the merge. I will try to complete it this week. Thanks, --ŦħęGɛя㎥ 03:14, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TODO:

  • create a vehicle infobox
  • create a missile(s) infobox(es)
  • improve structure
  • find more picture Create picture galleries
  • include both missile systems histories
  • Fix 9K37 occurences and fix them to be more precise (Buk, -M1, -M1-2, -M2)
Anything more to add? --ŦħęGɛя㎥ 20:59, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And we need to add info about every separate entity of the complex, maybe it should be the tables like in S-300? --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 22:09, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have a pictures of Buk-M2E TELAR 9А317 and 9М317 missile from 2007 MAKS and will add them later. --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 05:29, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We seem to have many lists of battery structure compositions, since a lot of this information is very similar do we think it would be good to insert all the information into a table similar to what has been done with the missile data, I think it would improve the structure of the article and be more helpful for the reader, opinion?Typhoon9410 (talk) 12:39, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I said earlier about the tables. Of course, it's perfectly reasonable. --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 06:30, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Things seem to be going well with this article, the graph showing the relationship between the different varients is a great addition. Just a few corrections since there is no Buk-1M or Buk-M3 that I can determine, Buk-M3 is I believe a mis-identification of the Buk-M2, I think it stems from the use of the cyrillic character Э which actually stands for E for Export as in Buk-M2E which then appears as Бук-M2Э which generates confusion in the media!Typhoon9410 (talk) 20:36, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Good point! I agree that often the media try to report a good story, even if they are absolutely not technically competent! One of the only sources that I trust (RIA) reported that it existed... a year ago! --ŦħęGɛя㎥ 23:54, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Good Job to all those that helped improve this article from Start-Class to B-Class since last August. --ŦħęGɛя㎥ 00:01, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes much improved, now feel it is on a similar level as the Tor missile system and 9K22 Tunguska articles! Just needs to be polished now really.Typhoon9410 (talk) 21:08, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Polishing" of the article

[edit]
I've added a Buk-M1-2A (utilizing a 9M317A missile) into the Buk development tree. It's very little information about it available on the net, but it's existence is perfectly real - see ref no. 13 (Financing statement of the OJSC Dolgoprudny Scientific Production Plant about the balance of the work in 2006) and 14 (Annual statement of the OJSC Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Design in 2005). --Yuriy Lapitskiy ~ 20:10, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Stereotype command post - Buk missile system (all option) may be controlled by an upper level command post system 9S52 Polyana-D4 integrating it with S-300V/S-300VM[1] into a brigade.[2][3] As an option: combining the brigade a few Buk, but not mixing in uniform into a unified battery.
  • Possible the command center in the event of a decision to create a mixed grouping of air defense forces.

Perhaps the use of the system: №1(("Baikal"*command post[4])+("Ranzhir"*command post[5]))+ №2(("Baikal"*command post)+("PPRU"*command post[6]))[7]+ №3("Baikal"*command post[8])+ №4(9S52 "Polyana"-D4*command post[3]) = №1+№2+№3+№4.

Using external funds (Baikal CP (control group of people operators) and Senezh manual (automatic)) allows to mix all / any air defense systems, the Air Force Communal enterprise, as well as means electronic warfare / anti-jamming. And any outside radar complexes.

Malaysian Flight MH17

A similar launcher was seen by Associated Press journalists near the eastern Ukrainian town of Snizhne earlier Thursday. The Buk missile system can fire missiles up to an altitude of 22,000 metres".

IFF

[edit]

In reference to the suspected involvement of the downing of MH17, I am wondering whether the Buk (or similar SAM systems) have any IFF or any other means of identifying aircraft. Or do they only have a simple radar, which gives them the position, but not the nature of the aircraft. Is there any knowledge on how this would work? Lalucre (talk) 09:52, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • A bit out of scope, and very doubtful that reliable sources would exist. That is precisely the kind of information that would be Top Secret, as the knowledge of the exact or even general methods used would allow enemies to create counter measures, making the system less effective. There is a lot of speculation, but the real "how" could only be answered using primary sources and the Russians aren't very chatty about these things. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 13:16, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As article says, radar has two antennaes. Bigger lower is PSR (primary) and smaller upper is SSR (secondary) antenna, which is IFF too. In this reference [5] officer says (in finnish) that fire unit can fire 4 missiles by itself, without targeting radar, with its own radar (big plastic bulb in the tower). That radar has no any SSR or IFF.--Tutkamestari (talk) 20:30, 23 July 2014 (UTC) Typo-fix --Tutkamestari (talk) 18:05, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speculation and not facts on downing of MH17!

[edit]

As of now, we do not know who or what brought down MH17 - and to state that the pro-Russian rebels "did it" is also not neutral, but siding with the Ukrainian government's version of events. It is not an established fact that the pro-Russian rebels "did it" and any reference to there statements must be removed! Citing newspaper articles is to cite just one sources and a possibly biased source!

Wikipedia doesn't work in "truth", but rather "verifiability." If a source is a reliable source, then statements may be made in the article that are supported by that source. If other sources say other things, and if those sources pass the WP:RS test, then of course they may also be used. If sources support different theories, than multiple theories may be covered in the article, perhaps illustrating the controversy that surrounds the theories (if verifiable in itself).
I'm guessing that that is the situation we find ourselves in here. Their is a war/insurgency going on, with geopolitical machinations between two large countries (Ukraine and Russia). We have a verifiable downed plane, with a large loss of life. It should surprise noone that in a conflict, whomever is responsible may not want to be forthcoming about it. Cheers. N2e (talk) 12:52, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I see the questions of who shot, and why, are not only uncertain, but out of place. The event has its own article, and all such questions belong there and not here. There isn't even complete agreement that a Buk was the weapon. Russian sources, against most other opinions, are still professing an open mind. Perhaps when the circumstances are crystal clear, they can get a mention here. Maybe even then, such details won't belong. Certainly, for now, there should be a brief sentence that does little more than direct the reader to the event article. Jim.henderson (talk) 15:23, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think now that the Dutch Safety Board released their report we will see an influx of twisting of the information there. It would be great to see the non-biased part of WIKI community that focuses on facts not speculation to monitor this page and remove any speculative information being added. If anyone managed to read through the report your support for sure will be appreciated. I have read through only some of it, specifically regarding geography and warhead used.

capability

[edit]

in german it is being dicussed if a rocket laucher can be operating on its own.

it is claimed that 9A310 is capable of "seeing" with its radar in a small Angle. The Radar of 9A310 can operate a sector search of 120° (side) and 6°-7° (vertically) within 4 seconds, permitting (as in the follower system 9A317) to search if a rough angle of approach is known. This would mean 9A310 AND 9A317 would be able to fight on their own (?)

  • Abkhaz authorities claimed that Buk air defense system was used to shoot down four Georgian drones at the beginning of May 2008 (In the opinion of dependent[1][2] media source).[2] An official certificate use of Buk not testify.
  • Analysts concluded that Georgian Buk missile systems were responsible for downing four Russian aircraft—three Sukhoi Su-25 close air support aircraft and a Tupolev Tu-22M strategic bomber—in the 2008 South Ossetia war.[3] U.S. officials have said Georgia's SA-11 Buk-1M was certainly the cause of the Tu-22M's loss and contributed to the losses of the three Su-25s.[4] According to some analysts, the loss of four aircraft is surprising and a heavy toll for Russia given the small size of Georgia's military.[5][6] Some have also pointed out, that Russian electronic counter-measures systems were apparently unable to jam and suppress enemy SAMs in the conflict[7] and that Russia was, surprisingly, unable to come up with effective countermeasures against missile systems it had designed.[3]

Georgia bought these missile systems from Ukraine which had an inquiry to determine if the purchase was illegal (An official certificate use of Buk testify[8]).[9]

  • On 29 January 2013, the Israeli Air Force launched an airstrike on a convoy in Syria believed to have missiles (SA-17 Air defense missiles and other ground-ground missiles) bound for Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Syrian government denied that a shipment of weapons had taken place (An official certificate use of Buk not testify).[10]

I looked into a Dutch newspaper from 20 March 2015, De Volkskrant. It states in Dutch that a journalist has found a metal scrap three months after the crash in a part of the fuselage. The journalist took the piece with him. It has appeared to be a part of a Buk. The Dutch government has not commented yet, at least, I could not find any formal reference, so I am quite sure there is no official publication from the goverment. The "Onderzoeksraad" (research council for accident investigation) says they will study the material as soon as it is handed to them and cannot draw conclusions before they have done their own research.

Spokesman for the Dutch Public Prosecutor, Wim de Bruin, echoed Dutch Safety Board’s comments after being contacted by RT.

“I can tell you the same thing I told RTL yesterday – that our criminal investigation is still ongoing,” de Bruin said.

“We’re investigating many things. And it’s not a secret that we’re also investigating the possibility that MH17 was downed by a Buk missile. But it’s much too early to draw any conclusions – that’s why we have to wait,” he added. http://rt.com/news/242449-netherlands-downed-buk-missile/

Warhead Error

[edit]

The article says "Frag-He"

But one of the sources cited actually says the 9M317 missile uses a rod(e.g. continuous rod) warhead. http://rbase.new-factoria.ru/missile/wobb/buk-2m/buk-2m.shtml

"(see. photo ). Warhead: rod, weight - 70 kg, the radius of the affected area goals - 17 m. The flight speed - up to 1230 m / s, overload - up to 24 g. Rocket mass - 715 kg. Wingspan - 860 mm. Engine - dual-mode solid propellant. The missile has a high level of reliability, fully assembled and curb rocket does not require inspections and adjustments during the lifetime - 10 years." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.97.68.15 (talk) 17:10, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This source suggests that buk can use an interchangeable warhead, firing either fragmentation or continuous rod.(continuous rod being the more common variant)

http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/know-your-missiles Are there any sources indicating that the Buk only has fragmentation warhead variants? 128.97.68.15 (talk) 17:19, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Every modification of the missile has different toppings (fragments always, but different: the weight and Amount and laying and shape (triangle cube, etc.)). +http://www.novayagazeta.ru/inquests/68332.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.104.198.22 (talk) 17:52, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Zenith-rocket division"?

[edit]

What does the 'zenith-rocket division' mean, precisely, in English? AFAIK adjective 'Зенитный', translit. zenitnyi etc. is the Russian army name for anti-aircraft (somewhat similar to what the Royal Navy used to call 'High-Angle [Mounting]') weapons, and дивизион - (transl. 'divizion') is traditional title for a battalion-sized unit in Russian artillery/rocket troops, but literal word-to-word translation makes very little sense in English, at least to me. Sorry if I'm missing something, neither English nor Russian is my first language.--188.122.212.12 (talk) 14:19, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

okay. (For English) A literal translation = bad. For English BATTALION = good. For Russian 'divizion'= good. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.218.182.36 (talk) 16:26, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NPOV, WP:EXCEPTIONAL and a flock of other wiki rule violations...

[edit]

A successful manufacturer must produce and then promote their product. Grand assertions, such as "It has no analogues in the world", may indeed boost domestic orders and export sales.

An entity, after funding the long-term development of a product and purchasing it in quantity, would desire to convince others of the wisdom of their actions. Claims such as: "exceeds a target-destruction probability of 0.9999 virtually guaranteeing one missile will destroy the target" may help advance the careers of those in the Defense Ministry.

Unverified, exceptional statements from biased sources should not be presented unquoted in an article as if they constituted encyclopedic fact.

Ural inconsistency

[edit]

According to the text in the Development section Ural is the export version of 9K37M1-2. According to the version diagram Ural is the export version of Buk-M2 while the export version of M1-2 is Gang Gange, which does not seem to be mentioned in the text. 150.227.15.253 (talk) 09:10, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the System composition section subsections 9K37M1 and 9K37M1-2 it is again indicated that Ural is the export version of Buk-M1-2 while the export version of Buk-M1 is called Ganges (similar to Gang Gange). Assuming that this text is correct the version diagram would need to be corrected.150.227.15.253 (talk) 13:20, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

According to http://www.ausairpower.net/APA-9K37-Buk.html the name Ural has been applied to export versions of M1-2 and M2 (at least to an early towed M2 version).150.227.15.253 (talk) 14:17, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

TEL is not a name for any vehicle that carries and launches missiles, it refers to vehicles that transport and erect missiles into launching position, that is, it sets the into the vertical launch position and moves away, and the missile is launched. A vehicle which launches the missile from launch rails is not a "TEL", it is a vehicle with a rocket launcher, types of missile vehicle. There is no "erection" of the missile. Thus it is simply a transporter-launcher, not a transporter-erector-launcher. By the definition used on this page and others, a Katyusha was a TEL, and an MLRS is a TEL, or even a Humvee equipped with the Avenger SAM system is a TEL. The Chapparal SAM system. Any vehicle that carries and launches a missile could be called a "TEL" because they all carry missiles, point them upwards and launch them. We don't call them TELs because they are not.

9M38M1 butterfly shrapnel

[edit]

The original listed reference for this claim was the Russian tabloid Комсомольская правда, a source with poor ratings across multiple independent fact-checking and media bias sites. In this case, the claim of the performed “butterfly or bow-tie” fragments came in reference to the ongoing MH17 trial and used to normalize a particular narrative of the incident. While searching for original documentation relating to КП‘s claims, I found both documents and press release reporting referencing a position of Almaz-Antey and their transfer of technical documentation to the Dutch investigation. Their position as stated in the Dutch investigation and referenced in the report through images and CAD models is that the 9N314M warhead relies on an inner layer of “butterfly or bow-tie” fragments. While this is the most detailed source I found, both in terms of design of the 9M38 missile warhead, if anyone can find those initial technical documents originating from Almaz-Antey, they’d be the ultimate source for this claim and provide a greater elaboration on the actual working principles behind the missile warhead. Below are some of the sources if someone more intrepid than I would like to find these original documents, but if not the Dutch “Investigation of . . . high-energy objects . . .” is the most detailed source on the design specifications I found.

Reversion vandalism

[edit]

I added a line that Buk had been used to shoot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 linking that article. This line was swiftly removed and I got the comment below. I am convinced that it is an accurately established fact that this was the case and certainly not a "minority or fringe viewpoint" and that this fact is relevant and important. I suggest that the editor reactivates the link, locks the article and blocks LilianaUwU who appears to represent Russiafriendly minority and fringe interests. Not primarily for being russofile but for obstruction of the truth.

"Reversion December 2022[edit] 

Welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, content you added to Buk missile system appears to be a minority or fringe viewpoint, and appears to have given undue weight to this minority viewpoint, and has been reverted. To maintain a neutral point of view, an idea that is not broadly supported by scholarship in its field must not be given undue weight in an article about a mainstream idea. Feel free to use the article's talk page to discuss this, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

One revert and you're immediately calling her a "russofile" and calling for her to be blocked? Seems a bit disproportionate. That said, I don't see an obvious problem with what you added and I'm not sure why it needed a NPOV/Fringe warning. @LilianaUwU, thoughts? Squeakachu (talk) 22:02, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Squeakachu @150.227.15.253 It was a mistake from my part. I intended to revert for being unsourced, as the statement is unsourced, but I have no reason to doubt that statement if sourced. LilianaUwU (talk / contribs) 22:17, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I figured it was some kind of misunderstanding. As for sourcing, the use of a Buk to shoot down MH17 is discussed in the body of the article, and is well sourced: Buk_missile_system#Russia–Ukraine War. Squeakachu (talk) 22:27, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. In any case, I managed to find a source from the aircraft's page, and put it in the article. LilianaUwU (talk / contribs) 22:30, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Missile Variants In Series

[edit]

So, the image for the Naval Missile (SA-N-7C?) shows a much smaller, tail-only fin arrangement. On the Russian language wiki, this seems to be the same missile as used in the New Buk-M3/SA-27 Gollum?

I'm hoping the articles across various languages can be cleaned up a bit. As there seem to be a few subvariants being skipped.

The old Kub had small wings and fins, plus 4 capped ramjet intakes.

The SA-11 Buk had long chord strakes but used pure (no intake) 2 section (boost-sustainer) rocket

The SA-17 Buk had shorter chord strakes (closer to traditional wing in its geometry) 

Buk-M3 Has only tail fins and is MUCH smaller & seems to share only common launcher foundation?2603:7080:CB3F:5032:ED2B:E6AF:923E:D50C (talk) 05:57, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

After a few hours of searching I found 2 helpful links:
