Air Command “Center” demonstrated the operation of the mobile TEMPEST surface-to-air missile system — a new air defense tool designed to respond to modern threats.

This was reported in a publication on the Air Command “Center” page.

TEMPEST is an extremely mobile SAM system capable of rapidly changing positions, quickly deploying, and engaging targets in a dynamic air environment. In units operating this system, decisions are made in seconds — here, speed is not a style, but a condition for survival.

The system’s maneuverability, targeting accuracy, and well-coordinated work of personnel have already produced tangible results: the unit has destroyed 21 enemy Shahed drones. Each destroyed aerial target means saved infrastructure and civilian lives.

Air Command emphasizes that new-type mobile SAM units are being scaled across the entire area of responsibility and are becoming an important element of a modern air defense system — flexible, dispersed, and capable of operating without pauses.

The video shows the operation of the TEMPEST system and a combat shift of the mobile air defense unit.
