Here are a some minor changes to DB3000 Weapon_1825 the SA-6a GAINFUL 9M336: Database gives weight of 599 Kg, and a range of 1.5-13 nm, and an target altitude of 250-46,000 feet AGL, with a missile speed of 1290-1740 knts and a warhead of 59kg. According to the sources below, these numbers should be (ussing the initial production Kub, IOC 1967): Weight: 630 kg Range: 3.2-11.9 nm target alt: 328-22,965 ft Warhead:57 kg For the Kub-M3 (IOC 1976) the numbers would be: Weight: 630 kg Range: 2.15-13.50 nm target alt: 65-26,247 ft Warhead:57 kg The sources below (except the OPFOR guide) also say the max speed is 600 m/s (1166 knts). OPFOR gives the missile speed at 700 m/s. However, this seems a little low to me, and I wonder if this 600 m/s represents the initial boost phase velocity. [edited: Yep, the 600 m/s must be the boost phase. The missile eventually accelerates to approx. Mach 2.8, according to http://www.ausairpower.net/APA-2K12-Kvadrat.html ] IHS. "2K12 Kub."
