In 2011, the 🇨🇿#Czech company #Retia presented a demonstrator of the upgraded 2K12 #Kub complex. The main change was the replacement of the original #3M9M3 missiles with 🇮🇹#Italian #MBDA #Aspide 2000 missiles, which are based on the 🇺🇸#US AIM-9E #Sparrow.

The missiles have maximum speed of Mach 4, range of 25km and have a 32kg warhead.
Missiles were now housed in compact launch containers, thus eliminating the need for constant loading onto launch rails and stacking on transport/loading vehicles. SURNCZ radar was used for guidance Photo by Jiří TintěraPhoto by Jiří TintěraPhoto by Jiří TintěraPhoto by Jiří Tintěra
This modernized complex has never been accepted into service by the 🇨🇿#Czech Army, and currently the original 2K12 Kub is waiting to be replaced by the 🇮🇱#Israeli #Spyder system by #Rafael on the #Tatra 815-7 chassis.
