TheM-11 Shtorm (Russian:М-11 «Шторм»; English:Storm) is aSovietnavalsurface-to-air missile system. ItsGRAU designation is4K60. ItsNATO reporting name isSA-N-3 Goblet. The system was first installed onMoskva, ananti-submarine warfare carrier, which was commissioned in 1967, but the system was not officially accepted into service until 1969.[1] Unusually for such systems, it has no land-based counterpart. It was only deployed on Russian vessels, and was never used in combat.
Development of the M-11 Storm system was first authorised on 25 July 1959. Work was carried out by Scientific Research Institute 10 (NII-10) that was also working on theM-1 Volna system. It was originally intended to be installed on the Project 1126 warship, but both the ship and missile system were canceled in June 1961. However, the missile project was re-activated only a month later for installation in theProject 1123Moskva-class helicopter carrier. The design was completed in April 1962, and included a modified version of the ZIF-101 launcher, that was used with the M-1 missile system. The launcher design proved to be impractical, the resulting redesign delayed production of prototypes until 1964.
Between 1964 and 1966sea trials were conducted on the missile testbedOS-24 which had previously been theheavy cruiserVoroshilov. The system was installed onMoskva, which was commissioned on 25 December 1967, but development continued until 1969 when it was officially accepted into service.
The 4K60/41K65 missiles are carried in pairs on rotating twin rail launchers and fly at betweenMach 2 and 3. They are 610 cm (20.0 ft) long, weigh 1,844 kg (4,065 lb) each with an 80 kg (180 lb) warheads. The effective altitude is around 100–25,000 m (330–82,020 ft) and the earlier missiles have an engagement range of 3–30 km (1.9–18.6 mi) while the 41K65 extends the maximum range to 55 km (34 mi). Guidance is viaradio command.
The radar associated with the M-11 is known in the west as "Head Lights", often found in conjunction with a "Top Sail" search radar.
The initial version of this system, the4K60 M-11 "Shtorm" with V611 missiles is known to theUS DoD as theSA-N-3A. The upgraded version is the4K65 "Shtorm-M" with V611M missiles and is designated theSA-N-3B.
A total of 25 systems were produced and installed on the following classes of ships:
