It is noted that the test of a new anti-aircraft managed missile for Buk-MB2 SCR-9m318 was conducted in the territory of the Olmanske swamp and a new field of flight restriction in southern Belarus in the territory of the former 41st aviation landfill (Merlin), where since the 1960s it Bombing. In the same territory, according to monitors, there is a new flight restriction zone, which is valid until December 20, 2024.

The 9M318 Zur is intended to defeat high -speed maneuvering aerodynamic purposes, tactical ballistic, winged, aviation and anti -ship missiles and helicopters (including those in the hanging mode) in the conditions of intensive radio electronic counteraction, as well as surface and non -watering. It is reported that the rocket was designed with modern technologies, taking into account the world technical achievements in the field of rocket -building with the use of composite materials.
The peculiarity of the 9M318 Zur is the presence of an active homing head that allows you to affect the goals, including the low reflection surface, with a greater probability, and to release the target channel of the SCR without waiting for the target.
